You know, honestly and truely I'd prefer if Posford wouldn't be in that DJ toplist at all. Not because I don't like him but because I like him! Seriously ... it's mostly commercial trance, eurodance and technoheads voting - what do they have to do with psytrance? Nothing! And thus psy DJs should be left out of that list and we should make our own where the DJs really get the place they deserve.

exactly It's all about the flow ... the flow must continue. A change from full on to progressive to dark to breakbeat isn't very harmonic IMO, I wouldn't like that.

I also made a successful trade with Matt ... package arrived yesterday. I second that the condition of the vinyls is very good! Guess if I had bought them new (and expensive) in a shop they would look almost the same. And that makes me extra happy I totally recommend this guy!

oh hehe, I wasn't so impressed by the first one ... it's not typical CBL for me, you know ... it's too melancholically and calm (I can understand why you like it though, your music is somewhat in that vein, mood-wise)... I like the third one in the preview a lot more, because it has this characteristical acid synth line that I associate with CBL, nobody else has it in that way ... and the fourth one and especially the fifth one are great ones too - also because they are more in that typical CBL style and yet still something fresh! And also the second last one sounds marvellous too! But the clips are aso short, you know ... can't really concentrate or get into anything here ... I'd need the full thing to really be able to deliver an useful opinion.

I don't know the album to be honest ... but I have seen Aphid Moon live and was not that impressed...

What is Scann-Tec? Or Sundial? Are those sublabels I always thought Aes Dana himself is the head of Ultimae Records...

See, that's what I wanted to hear from Psyshop! And you see, they admit it was done by intention, no mistake. But as they are excusng themselves all is well again. And Psyshop has its reputation back for me

Metamorphoses ... "C'Est La Vie" and "Hey Gargarin" are my absolute favourite Jarre songs. And the rest on that album is really good aswell, only in the second half it weakens... and Chronologie

that's noise music noise music has some weird track titles and stuff ... it's extreme music afterall like Brighter Death Now - You Got Sperm On Your Jacket (I Know 'Cause It's Mine)

Harhar ... I gotta do it again: Last concert: KORPIKLAANI! Yesterday. Finnish Humppa Folk Metal! It was so damn awesome ... the support acts were a bit tough to endure since there is no support act that plays this style in an even remotely similar way, so everybody was standing around bored - until it was time for KORPIKLLANI! LOL, people were moshing already even before the music started to play It was so great. Undescribable. Insane. You can compare the grade of insanity with psy, but not the type. It's a different one. A folkish finnish humppa madness! Moshing, jumping, screaming, drinking, sweating. I was sweating like a madman. It was incredible. I was so dead. But it was so great. I probably got double the amount of endorphines I normally get while just dancing around. Insane. So great. Drank two litres of water later that evening, so died out was I. Killargh! Of course my mate and me later waited for the band almost an hour to get our posters signed ... but we got it in the end Today everything hurts - arms, legs, my spine ... I got kicks and elbow checks into every part of the body. And my head feels really heavy and hurts like a bitch. But it was great fun, I'd never wanted to miss that! Best non-psy gig 2006, definitely. Nothing can top Korpiklaani

Harhar "So you cut us the ability to charge for our music? That's not a problem. We give it away for free then! It's pirated anyway." I like that way of thinking. Really

a classic indeed although I liked some of his later stuff better ... but anyway

Hey, that's very nice news aswell

Yeah, I do know ... every Carbon Based Lifeforms track I know (and that is nearly everyone) is great work But the teaser is only presenting such a short excerpt of each track which makes getting into it hard and the experience lacks ... some of them sound indeed quite good, yeah, but overall this thing didn't really kick me off the chair as I expected, you know. Anyway, I'll wait for the full one

ach, you mean this one ... I thought you meant a real big one yeah, you're right though, that one isn't impressive. but I know CBL ... they are my favourite ambient group, they won't be shit, I know it ... I put my trust in them

audio piece?!?!? where, where???

Good News!!! thought I'd share that: http://www.ultimae.com/en/releases/208/index.html

Absolutely right. But I understand the other guy ... DJ stands for "DiscJockey", meaning a person that mixes tracks from discs (yeah, vinyl is also a disc in this case - a bigger one, but nevertheless). Strictly seen you shouldn't include laptops or other stuff - it must be discs (and no harddisks!). In the future I think this word should adapt to the modern world ... like MJ ("MultimediaJockey") or whatever... BTW, "Jockey" sounds damn gay

I know every DJ set will be unique (and it better be like that, because the uniqueness is good!), but you can't deny you have a style, a general vague prediction what kind of music style the audience can expect when you make a set. For example I doubt that DJ Slater from Tribal Vision will suddenly come up with killargh Skazi fullon blast when he normally spins totally different stuff And you might be right, the main problem probably lies more in this "same formula" thing of the music, which basic elements are easy to copy for wannabes...

Argh ... Ritual Om, you bastard! Yes I've heard of a Twisted party but didn't check out the lineup (why should I bother when I can't go to London anyway) ... now thanks to you I did and now I envy all that go there and hate myself for not living there. That's probably the last chance to see the legends and I can't Thanks for making me want to jump out of the window today, Ritual (just kidding, mate ... but I now really pity not being able to be there...)

no... no, seriously... I hate that track You know what I think is a good fullon track? Space Buddha - Acid Prophecy. Kicks. seriously
