Ale, stick to fullon-bashing. Then I at least find you funny....

uh oh, I wanted to save my money for a good Absinthe ... doesn't look like it's going to work Well, on the other hand the release's going to be in spring ... still some months to go ... it might be achievable... the best ambient album of 2007 is in the making

I just read the interview for the first time feel a bit stupid, because it's already quite old and I never registered that it exists ... but it's a very good interview nonetheless! Much information there!

full on? Let's hope this always will be a joke

hey, actually this is very nice stuff ... most of it has a very warm sound, that's what I like the most... and the money goes to refugee children ... a very good move! good idea...

My votes on the poll thing were YES for trance, because there's new Matenda coming out, there's new S-Range coming out (so god wants it ), two albums I'm really looking forward to ... and a safe NO for Chill, because there surely isn't going to be anything as brilliant Carbon Based Lifeforms - World Of Sleepers in 2007, not even the new Aes Dana (okay, this one maybe ... but still I believe no!)

hey, thanks for the info, visine I'll remember to ask at Saikosounds next time I order there!

They'll come here in March this year... And I will go, no matter what crap they play! Because I MUST ... I have never seen them before - should have seen them last year but they were too wasted to catch the flight to Austria, so the party got cancelled Now I must see them ... to me they're like the godfathers of psytrance ... I mean hey, they made stuff like People Can Fly and Mahadeva and stuff, so I must see them and if it's only to see live how much they suck nowadays, I must! And if they play new stuff like Open Society it won't be even that bad I think

he's right though, I also find the name absolutely horrible but the music is very good, so I don't mind the name btw, does "Jikkenteki" mean something in japanese?

well, yeah, but for me it's a different one...

@ this thread

... but on the cover they say the last one's just 10:40 long, so you should have known... by the way, I find it funny that the tracklist begins with track 12 ... like if it was the continuation of the journey on the first album

Well, this argument was rather more valid in the past, when vinyls were played with gramophones with horribly scratching needles ... I mean, yes, there's still a needle on my vinyl player, but it's not scratching, you know, it's softer and slides gently and doesn't wear off the vinyls - or at least so little it's hardly noticeable - especially when the etchings are deep, such as in the EPs of nowadays. I have listened to some stuff of mine quite often already and there's no difference in the sound ... maybe after a hundred listens you'll notice it or so... And the warm sound being better is a personal thing ... for me a warmer sound sounds BETTER than the clinically clean and "cold" one on CDs...

Noma stopped making music as far as I've heard ... friends of him try to convince him to start again though, so let's hope they have success

My votes for the top 5 of 2006: 1.: CARBON BASED LIFEFORMS - WORLD OF SLEEPERS 2.: TEGMA - AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 MINUTES 3.: VIBRASPHERE - ARCHIPELAGO 4.: JIKKENTEKI - THE LONG WALK HOME 5.: SONIC CUBE - FILTER

got it ... and I've already listened through It's a top notch ambient album ... I absolutely love Carbon Based Lifeforms and with this new release they didn't disappoint me - although IMO this one's not as brilliant as their Hydroponic Garden. But still, this is my favourite ambient album for 2006 ... Ultimae didn't release any other albums (apart from two compilations) this year anyway... did you already discover the hidden track?

of course... even the Visa student card is only free for the first 2 years and then you pay (and it's not that you can cancel after one month ... if I took that one I won't get rid of the Visa bastards anymore ... argh)...

Stalker, try Chilling Matenda - Mediterran ... this is not commercial chillout, but it sounds pretty in that vein! No shanti ethno hippie stuff. You could like that, check it out

S-Range I hope so ... although I won't believe it. Besides that the changes of the scene that are taking place here first hit our small country usually much later, so I'm afraid I'll have to wait at least till end of 2008 for this Yes, I do think a bit in the same way ... prog-psy and house will mix even more. I even see myself going to some house parties in the future because psy parties are getting too fullon for me and I have been to a house-like party this year and the sound wasn't even as bad as I expected mainly because of those bit similar elements it already has to prog psy... And yeah, high expectations on future Tribal Vision releases here too That indeed is something I too look out for! Oh yes, Ultimae too will have some good releases in 2007 I think ... but that's not surprising as I can't think of any Ultimae release that was not good MATENDA!!! Yes, yes, yes! Definitely! I want a new one from him! Quoted from his website: "The next album is planned to be released before the summer of 2007." YEEEHAW!

still 3 hours to go here... but since I won't be here then: Happy new year

I have discovered my love towards vinyls this year ... and I'm glad about it. I now prefer vinyls over CDs pretty big time. There is sound difference. Source files are digital, yes, but don't forget that their sampling rate can be higher than the sampling rate of a CD! Besides it is not just the sound quality itself ... it is proven that vinyls have tiny distortions in the sound which make it sound cozier, so to say, not so clinically clean like the sound from a CD. And that's what I like! And it's just cool to actually see the "sounds" on the vinyl itself ... when you look very closely you can see the etchings And yes, I am REALLY, *REALLY* careful with my vinyls! It is actually a reason for me to like them because you have to treat them nicely! And I'm very nice to them Well, I can definitely hear it, the sound is warmer and the frequencies sound more organic - it's not just fantasizing, really ... and I'm not an audiophile, at least I wouldn't say that...

S-RANGE - TECHNICAL SUPPORT (BACK UP MIX)

Well, I WOULD like to gently slide into new year with some ambient/chill. I guess I'd pick Makyo - Suzhou River just five minutes after midnight, light a Shisha and have a glass of champagne while lying on the couch... But it won't be like that ... at midnight I won't be at home, I will be outside shooting rockets and meeting people and stuff and there won't be any music. But then, after new year celebration I'll go straight to a psy party and will celebrate the arrival of the new year accordingly, harhar

dude, I didn't even think of anything racist here ... not until you mentioned it, I swear ... damn ... I mean, how could anybody crossreference, it's just animals... I guess I'm too much of a good person...

but ... don't you need a credit card for Paypal? No fee credit card ... well, maybe that's an alternative. I'll have to look out for it though, I don't know of any ... even the student's credit card offers want monthly fees here...
