see? soon prices will be down at 10 Euro and then it's my time to get my hands on them

Well, concerning really different types of music (not ambient or anything electronic, something totally different) I listen to Metal ... all kinds of styles from Iced Earth to Summoning - and you can even count some medieval ambient into that - but with a peculiar special preference of crazy finnish Humppa Metal such as Finntroll, Korpiklaani and Trollfest. And there's also some New Age among my other musical preferences ... such as Gandalf of Mike Oldfield ... but I count that to world music ... just as Xavier Rudd. So I voted for Metal and World Music Oh, it just came to my mind I could have voted "Other" too ... for the Dark Ambient, Industrial and Noise side of me! Damn Count 1 more on "Other" please if you want to be exact

Nah, I can't really enjoy music when it's too fast. I can't mentally synchronize to it. The Morax track "Morthor Spede" is just a joke to me. I can't listen to that (I quite like the sample of the Fragetrollet track on the same compilation though )... Generally music tends to sound funny and unserious when it gets too fast. And the greater the bpm speed the lesser room for cool things such as melodies or other stuff you have. It's all just "bambambambambam-break-bambambambambam..." and that gets mindnumbingly uninnovative after time. Oh and yes, the three ones Fosku mentioned ... they are horrible aswell... It's not that I don't like faster stuff every now and then. There is some good fast and dark stuff out there. But it doesn't go over 160 bpm ... and when I listen to those fast tracks here now then I also understand why...

My mama - she's 65 now - likes Etnoscope ... but anything on the progressing side will do - not too many melodies, she doesn't like that "whining" as she calls that synthie stuff... I once played Noma - Tube to her and she loved it But she'd just as well like Mauro Picotto ... my mama just likes anything with a lot of bass in it My dad doesn't like much electronic music. Except old stuff like Jean Michel Jarre he despises that kind of modern sound...

gone is he from here ... quite some time ago already...

there are etching machines ... but they are quite expensive and the records you etch with them don't last forever... in a vinyl shop they might be able to do it aswell and it's not as expensive as getting an etching machine for yourself... but the best would still be to burn it on CD ... mp3 has not perfect sound quality anyway, so you wouldn't gain any sound quality if you etched it onto vinyl...

ETNOSCOPE you can try almost all tracks they produced ... using tribal drums is a key element of them

NOMA - SOON some more of the moment: SONIC CUBE - LAST JEDI ATMOS - BAD 2 THE BONE MATENDA - WELCOME SUNSHINE

Absolutely same here, I'm still waiting for new Atmos, Audiomatrixx debut, new Matenda, new Aes Dana, Solar Fields trance album and another one that I have mentioned already so often I won't do it again here (grrr...)

Dimension 5 - Transformation Ra - Astral Flight Organic Noise - The Vacuum Banco De Gaia - Kincajou (Wild Monkey Fever Remix) Hallucinogen - Shamanix Saiko Pod - Tron

That must be Penta - Neurotic Call... but I don't think he's looking for that one...

My favourite betaless ambient piece is Matenda - Smiri Se. But that one is not really suitable for sleeping to it...

yes, same here cheesy full on is on top of my hate list - although I don't hate all full on, thre is some good out there, but most of it today is cheesy and crap although today I got reminded that there's some darkpsy out there that can also get very monotonous and dull over time ... but still, I prefer the dull darkpsy a hundred times over cheese full on...

my weapons of choice: primary weapon: SONY MDR-V150 They offer quite good sound for low price (the twice as expensive foldable successor (in silver) uses same speakers!) ... it's not brilliant, but really quite good and has power. I love them. They are handy for everything: going for a walk, going shopping, going running, listening at home in front of the pc, fitting for all kinds of styles of music ... the perfect allround weapon! secondary weapon: AKG K-55 The heavier weapon. Has much better sound than the small Sony's, but they are quite bulky and the cable is far too long to carry them around handy. I like to use them for evening ambient listening sessions on my stereo. But they are good for all kinds of music. AKG quality. Not as superior as their more expensive models, but I love them. Have 'em probably already 6 years. Very reliable. The good old heavy cannon for home sound battles. backup weapon: PHILIPS SBCHP550 My favourite weapon, but I have overused with running and the foam has gotten sweaty and worn and old. They fit tight and that makes you sweat much under them which makes them not handy for sports. But the sound was very good for sports - rich in bass, good deep frequencies. Not that good for highs or ambient though. But perfect for the right music. These have become my ETNOSCOPE headphones! They really are good for this deep warm earthly kick and bass. A good and reliable weapon for the right moments.

I was into Eurotrance back then as well! Cool This music is officially classified as RETRO for me now. Memories

Well, honestly, I prefer it like it is nowadays. There's much more diversity. Of course there's some really perfect oldschool goa out there, but if there was just this goa trance I'd be bored aswell. If you dig a bit nowadays then you can find some really good music in all kinds of styles - and thats what I prefer. Because I am actually quite seldom in the mood for this classic oldschool goa trance...

very good I missed you...

Yeah ... and you forgot the chav ravers that scream at every one of those breaks like there's no tomorrow ... and they also pipe damn loudly (I can't do that ... piping with two fingers of your hand in your mouth, I can't do it), right in your ear. Been right there, dude. I bet on a Scooter concert the atmosphere would have been likewise. At that point I totally was aware that this sucked even more than the techno music I hate. Man, I'd really would have wanted to go home right there ... but fortunately I'm a wise man that foresaw these things and so I only had to endure half an hour of this torture stuff before the liveact I wanted to see started playing (despite there being no playlist whatsoever)...

Hey, I like this clubbier approach better than waht they did on Archipelago... I dig the samples ... they sound nice to me

it's not free it was commercially released on mp3.com on 2 seperate CDs under the project name "Carbon Based Lifeforms - The PHATT" (not "the Path" )

Noma?

what? no, it's not about the fact that I would not have knowh what I would have missed ... I'd have been going *insert atom bomb* if I wouldn't have gotten that album, so I wouldn't have cared what I would miss, I'd just have been seriously pissed off!

you know, I think if they made a cool booklet to every release, like Ultimae does (bless 'em!), I'm sure more people (suckers for art like you (and me, as a fan for booklets ) would buy the releases... Start producing cool booklets! I'm saying this since 3 years! When will label heads finally wake up?

S-Range - Live At Just Dance Festival 07-02-2002 just started playin'... will keep me awake till morning
