RTP

I'm in with the game! The next 1000 views should already be on the way I used the site "buyyoutubeviews.com" - panel is intuitive to use (to me at least) and they're reasonably cheap ... only downside is that I didn't really get the details of their crypto payments, so I used credit card... Imma see what they deliver, will be very curious.

Sweet! I will certainly participate in this experiment and will be watching with great interest. And you already have 197 views on the video and 111 subs at the time of writing ... I see that the account existed before, but I assume you didn't have that many subs before, right? The track is not bad by the way

He seems to use every synth only in one layer. And for every production he chooses a setup - that means he's never gonna use them all, only a select few. And the sound doesn't seem so special at first, I agree ... but as I listened longer, I started to get what it is about, the fine bits that you can only get right with that peculiar equipment... It's a whole different approach than to model everything in cubase and play every layer with the same synth (or one of a few). Of all, I like most the videos where he performs his own tracks in that manner because they show this exactly ... it also helps with the understanding of his synth concept: edit: the "E-Mu Emulator II" synth playing in that video is obviously really just doing that low-down "component" (no other word for it) on the bassline (most audible at the end)

Yes, I know him, good artist indeed. I'm kinda satisfied that I already follow him on Soundcloud ... here's his:

Man, that is an awesome idea. I'd be up for it, I'd buy him some views. I think now we only need him to agree and provide a track. Just imagine if we really get him to become a meme ... I mean, at least in the whole psytrance world. He deserves it by now, fair and square, after all these years.

Impressive! By the way, the RTP RECORDS offer still stands. You can send me some tracks on soundcloud for private listen anytime ... profile is: https://soundcloud.com/user-350524915

"this video is not available anymore because the account associated with it has been cancelled" You must mean that one: but other than that, yes, I second your expression ... hmmm...

I am back with this thread - and there is a reason: there's a new album out from Anthony Rother, released in January 2021 ... it's called "Weltmacht Digital" ... and interestingy, it's the spritual successor of "Netzwerk der Zukunft", the one that I posted last. https://anthonyrother.bandcamp.com/album/weltmacht-digital The albums "Hacker", "Netzwerk der Zukunft" and "Weltmacht Digital" form a trilogy ... or so I believe he said himself. I read it somewhere. I just thought I'll post this ... since the last one was liked by a few people. It's a brilliant work, very much in the vein of this "technology-critical" vibe that I like so much. I had the pleasure to drive to this full piece on the highway and it was just phenomenal, this work of art is just made for it ... let me just say, I felt that every single sound has its place - and the fact that the album repeats with different mixes is an awesome twist - I didn't even register that at first, I just thought "imma listen again", not realizing it were different mixes and thus (naturally) I found many different passages in the tracks ... got a huge smile as I realized that it were the mixes - Anthony did get me big time there I don't need to mention that I have stayed a huge fan of Anthony Rother and I hope I'll stay for a long time in this place because he'll hopefully be making more of this brilliant stuff By the way, there were also two more major albums by Anthony Rother (his upbeat side) in the last years, both very good - unfortunately I was too late to get a physical copy of "3L3C7RO COMMANDO" ... the other one "Cyberspace Reality" is just available digitally... I actually thought I'd hate digital albums. But that trip on the highway wouldn't have been possible without the album being digital (with this one really everything has its place). I will definitely buy the other one too

Well, I just like to experiment with thoughts like these, it's kind of fun. I don't necessarily believe that an AI is reading this thread ... would be a fun plot for a thrilling short story though. And no I don't know that concept. I might read up on it now that you mentioned it though. That's insane news! I'll be thrilled how this turns out. All the best and good luck for that On a serious note, maybe you got some unreleased material at KER that you'd upload for this experiment? Maybe not under your KER account though. OMG that was awesome - it just begs for a cheesy fullon remix ... but we can't, we'll get a strike, I'm sure of that... ... except if somebody wants to ask for permissions ... but unfortunately it's likely that for this you will not deal with those cuties but with tight-buttoned law people I'd still go with the plan to wait what anybody will come up with. If nothing else goes I can maybe try a Skeletone track. But that won't be psytrance.

Heh, that was fast Yeah the algorithm is cleverer than you think, it's got AI at its disposal and who knows what trickery is used to analyze the files ... as said earlier: Google knows this forum, the AI might even read this very thread and got ahead of your plan ... borderline scary isn't it? Although I'm not that serious about this I am sure an experiment can be done. Will also try to spread my antennas for this a bit...

Good one! The new track is actually quite nice I admit that I began to give Raja Ram a sort of "free ticket for cheese" (I'm not gonna be a superfan of him, but I find it amazing that he's still around) ... that isn't even necessary...

...well that clearly didn't come to fruition, did it? I'm even waiting for his "Lords Of 16th" TRACK since THREE YEARS In case you wanna know what I mean by that --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DUZ3l1aUvo&t=4020s (yes the timestamp really is 4020 ... now go watch )

@psytonesyou're doing quite well for a relatively young label - and it's impressive what's going on with Material Music ... all the best

You really got me thinking on that ... and sure I basically wouldn't say "no" to quality ... but I think part of the probem is, that I already got kinda anchored to the "modern sounding = polished sounding = dull" train of thought. It also depends what precisely you pick out with the quality aspect (quality arrangement or mastering and mixing the sounds together or the quality of sound material that's played - such as crackle-free synth notes) ... but when I'm looking in to the old progressive front then there's lots of stuff I'd find questionable at least, sound quality wise - there's crackles and muffles in the selected sounds here and there - in Atmos' Qualität im Quadrat I even find a hiss that rhythmically swings along - but these elements don't come across as "bad" or "negative" in that music, they embed themselves into the character of the track ... and that makes me wonder, is it actual lack of quality or intention...? There's also the aspect that a full quality mix stresses my ears more because there are more sounds to process - at least I have that impression! Anyhow, I would fully accept if you call me a weirdo on that Nice idea @Imba - that comparison with the house. I like architecture ... and I think that the houses that I like are kind of different to the others. Like "Coop Himmelblau" building a bit different houses compared to others... Go for it, post the link, I'm sure something can be sorted out I'd be so curious how it turns out...

EXHUMED! Because this very _dead_ thread was the first hit on Google on this subject... ...yep I really searched for that right now. Anybody's got a Spiral Trax T-Shirt? I want one...

Ah, I was just irritated because of the short vids, didn't know the Batman track - it's hilarious Spiral Trax ... indeed, it says "Joined the @Geomagnetic Music Network in 2015" ... I totally overslept that. Too bad you disagreed on the contract ... but nice to hear there was some contact By the way, O M G is the geomagnetic.tv website a trip down memory lane ... links to Saikosounds, Wirikuta, Psybuy ... and more ... that's some 21 years ago stuff too, isn't it?

forgot to mention this ... yep, that was a beautiful example ... and I didn't even know Spiral Trax signed them

Wow! Some awesome ones there! And some artists didn't even change that much - MWNN for example ("Candyfloss Corona", what a title ) ... and BotFB and Shpongle both evolved rather organically. Of course new production technology and also new sounds coming from more modern equipment, but it's amazing to hear that. Total Eclipse ... I didn't really get that "Batman Special" thing, but it's funny ... thanks for the congrats @psytones Electric Universe has developed into "formula" territory imo, but to be fair, he did that already some time ago. Just curious - are there any more that changed _drastically_? Well, he (Shiva Chandra) is not so active anymore, but yes he does a lot with Brox - and I don't know if Brox is the main influencer for this new style - I actually don't believe it, because this new side was shining through more and more in his own stuff ... but Brox is a "catalyst" for sure that accelerates the trend And I have another one - S-RANGE: 1999: 2020: it's only a remix though and no completely new tune - but nevertheless I think it has enough characteristic to picture the change

Psynews is 21 years old meanwhile (since the 11th of January to be precise) and I only now think of this game (it really didn't occur to me at the 20th ... but anyway, 21 years is harder than 20 anyways ) ... but I hope it's a good one! Same Artist, please! Otherwise I'd easily find 2 tracks that are 21 years apart... So ... can you come up with any tracks from the same artist that are 21 years apart? Re-releases don't count imo. And I'd appreciate if you also don't list stuff that just was in the basement for 20 years before it got released ... I'd like to picture an "organic image" how the sound changed My take is Shiva Chandra: 1996: 2017: heh, so much for that "organic image"

First of all, thanks @Imba for mentioning that Cosmic Dimension album because it's great and I'd have missed it. Second, couldn't agree more. I, however, would even enhance this: I believe, that the somewhat slight amateurish touch is what sometimes actively adds to the goodness of the stuff - or even is the reason why it is so good. The unpolished notes in tracks often give me an impression to even more let go and give in to the flow. I cannot react the same way when I hear the top quality stuff - my ears are inevitably over-analyzing every aspect of that, while when it's unpolished anyway, they don't bother in the first place. That was the reason why I liked Pusherstreet so much and pretty much all what Panzar Produktionz released in their period, like, ten years ago ... because it was just plain "let go" kind of music, unpolished, "come as you are" kind of stuff ... just like lots of that old progressive - and even beyond that ... and that is, to me, an attitude that defines the Goa scene ... so I guess in the end it inevitably comes to the point where we kinda get less recognized for the way we are = unpolished as the music...

Had the same problem - till I found "cash4web" ... it's a prepaid Mastercard. Quite convenient = if it gets hacked, the only sum at risk is the amount loaded on the card. This can be bought at any "Kiosk" over here ... I'm quite sure you in Germany have something like that too? The views that you buy won't be the problem - because other members might buy views for the thing too and it's not guaranteed that the company they choose for the delivery is as serious as yours or even near you I, however, understood that I won't do anything until your own campaign is over. Intervening with multiple campaigns will be suspicious for sure. They shall be stacked one after another.

I say yes, if you don't want to take the risk - it's "more or less" against the rules and it _can_ get you banned or flagged ... even if I will only buy guaranteed human views for you ... however, the algorithm also recognizes new accounts who try this out, so you have to outsmart it. A dormant account that is long active, but has not much activity and the "lands the hit by some miraculous formula" is actually the best bait (the best bait - and the best bet ). Just be sure you've got a backup plan in case of the (not very likely, but possible) event that it gets banned.

Now that is odd... ...I could have sworn that I already replied to this topic again Maybe the Covid mafia has deleted my post because it contained the cure for humanity? Nah I'm not gonna pretend to be that good ... but hear me out on it: Thanks @Padmapani for the mentioning of NOVAVAX, I didn't know what that was and I read up on it ... it's not a traditional vaccine, but it has no mRNA. They build a microparticle only consisting of Coronavirus spikes. Clever! That, however, again has the "danger" that the body doesn't see the whole virus... But I think I have the solution. (I kind of want to do this now, "for fun" (if safe for my health) - to not get an mRNA or vector vaccine.) The best bet could be to initially immunize with NOVAVAX against the spikes - and THEN as an "afterstrike", weeks later, inject ordinary deactivated Covid-19 viruses, repeatedly at best (every few weeks or months) and also with mutations (why not) ... the spikes will attract immune cells because these cells have been pre-trained by the initial NOVAVAX immunization and the "aftershots" of plain inactivated Coronaviruses will keep the immune cells occupied so that immunity stays up and they also can be used as an "update to the latest mutated version" = like with the flu vac every year... ... wouldn't that be it? Ofc you can do that scheme with the BioNtech one as an initial immunization too ... but I wanna do it without mRNA or vector

I celebrate that. So far, this conversation is the only one I know that goes on for the longest time without any serious escalation ... and although it doesn't sound like it, that's intended as a compliment I have found my own "idea" concerning the vaccine and what I wanna do ... I'll just try as much as I can to get a traditional vaccine without mRNA. My "fear" of the mRNA vaccine is entirely gut-based and I have no proof - but I am of two opinions: first = the fear, that if my own cells start to produce a particle of a "known enemy" they might go havoc and second = the fact that you just are forced to make antibodies against a tiny spike protein and not the whole virus ... it's like "making a car known by the fact that it has halogen lights" ... what if one with xenon beams comes along, that one won't be classified as a car then? I'd be greatly interested in getting an expert explanation as a chance to know this more and maybe even prove me otherwise ... but so far I had no success, even directly wrote to Dr. Winfried Pickl at the MedUni Vienna (who is researching cellular immune responses of Covid "with his team"), but got no reply I have looked up a bit more on companies that produce a traditional vaccine, without mRNA or vector, just plain old inactivated Coronaviruses ... and there's "Sinovac" - which is a chinese company = quite unlikely that they get approved here in the EU - and "Valneva" - who are in the EU, but they are currently only doing studies in the UK and there is no chance to get into this program as an Austrian resident. I kinda hope that they sh*t around for so long with all the current vaccination issues (I trust in stupidity of government, that's the only thing that hasn't let me down yet), that one of these traditional vaccines gets approved by the time I am "urged" to get a dose ... by then, I'll also have the, like, 10-20€ to pay for it myself (if it was really that cheap, I actually don't believe it ).

"gag reflex" I'd say ... and yes, I do get that - but it's still way better than taking the sample from the nose ... so it's good to hear I'll still be fairly accurate with it - won't do it after eating or drinking anyway, best time is right in the morning before I brush teeth
