Cocaine = cola = coke = fuel = koks? Almost, but you need another botanical term to get a legendary psy act.

Omegahertz! I'm pushing my artistic skills to the max and beyond...

California Sunshine, surely? Let's try this one.

Indeed. Free for the fastest to post a new one.

Lost Buddha.

Battle of the Future Buddhas Because it's easy, no hogging. Replies with a new pic only.

Mad Contrabender - Open Your Mind? (Edit: heh, you edited the discogs entry 13 minutes ago? I thought I had gone a bit crazy when the listing suddenly changed when I refreshed the tab after posting this.)

Everything in this world wears. No matter what you do, some tiny changes in temperature, chemicals in the air etc. will corrupt the plastic and metal. However, especially factory-made CDs are quite stable. We're talking about multiple decades, possibly even centuries in good storage conditions. As far as I know, collections from the 80s are still fine. Pressed CDs don't wear easily. CDRs are another story, though. Their longevity depends greatly on the burner, media and storage. Several of my homemade discs from early 90s are already lost. I've also received brand new (as in unused) CDR releases, which have major clicks straight out of the case. A poor blank in harsh storage conditions can do that. Some drives burn better copies than others. I'm not sure if I've received a faulty factory-pressed CD, but it happens to people every now and then. The very first thing I do with every received CD is to rip a lossless copy. It reveals any errors, helping to claim an instant refund/replacement. It's also a perfect backup for the multitude of reasons why a disc can be lost or damaged. I heartily recommend the same to everyone. Lossless files are also nice for daily playback. No quality issues, no paranoia about that missing bit which might possibly matter.

I don't have that 12", but an unnamed source lists the tracks as: a1. Tristan And A Green Nun - Babylon n' Ting (07:38) b1. The Embassy - Diplomatic Immunity (08:19) The DG6 track is very Trevor-y and ~7:32 long. The tightly cropped Youtube video is 8:03 and nothing like GNOTR. I'd guess it's the b side. Anyone with the record who can confirm this?

AFAIK, it's a one man project from Tuusula, Finland. He's posting on Finnish club forums as "bedroom dj". There's also a DnB side project under alias "Beddis".

Delightful to see retardation countered with brilliance.

Those five thousand bouncing flash/gif banners all over the front page give me seizures. Not very chilly. I'm not a fan of cramming everything and the kitchen sink on the front page. Portals died already in the 90s. See google.com for an interface people really want. No comments about the content. I didn't get that far.

Interestingly, I changed to a new CD ripping software and it included that intro to the first track automatically. Now it's in my flac copy and I'll hear it every time unless I specifically skip it.

That's awesome, actually. At least it's not: 1) a mushroom on fractal background 2) stock photo softporn 3) some twit posing in sunglasses (A bit surprising that Ra is a nekkid, magenta bunny. BTW, that's a badass style to wear headphones.)

Done dirt cheap.

If a random download form asks for my name and e-mail, it will be Mickey Mouse @ mailinator.com . If it looks really dodgy, I fake the IP and all other connection details. Real information has repeatedly leaked to spammers and fraudsters even from high profile companies. What are the odds that I'd take the risk with a mystery site I surf through in ten seconds? Someone who's going to abuse the music will surely fake that all. It will only annoy the honest listeners for no gain. Just like all other "protection" schemes out there.

Ah, you assumed it'd be 2009? A common misunderstanding.

So, on the "internet tough guy" side we have one guy on welfare and a Canadian tosser living in his parents' basement? And on the Twisted side we have people who repeatedly produce fine music and memorable live shows, regardless of being ripped off by deceitful promoters and Russian freeloaders? I guess I'll keep supporting the Twisted side.

In this game (1992) orichalcum had enormous, mystical powers... Now I want to play it.

It gets even better in the collaborations. IM + Domestic = Domestic Mushroom ...ok IM + Space Cat = Cat on Mushroom ...ok IM + Jörg Kessler = Jörg on Mushroom ...err, what? IM + Psysex = Sex on Mushroom ...what? Green Nuns is probably my all time favourite, though.

The Human League - These Are The Days (Man With No Name Instrumental) [EastWest 1994] This remix isn't as well known in the trance circles as the mid-90s Platipus/Perfecto releases. The unmistakable MWNN sound is definitely there, though. Interestingly, it has been asked on this forum before. No matter what he remixed, everything ended up having that trademark sound.

I spotted a copy on amazon.co.uk for £15-20 a while ago. At that moment I was too busy and thought "it'll be there tomorrow". Of course, it wasn't, and now the only offers are £100. I'd recommend buying a download from Juno and/or waiting for a rerelease. Avatar has released Celtic Cross and Kumba Mela Experiment this year. I'd bet that Dub Trees is on top of their to-do list. Right now you may find a lucky bargain, but more likely just horribly inflated prices.

I made a soundtrack mix once (74 min, 89 MB). If I can get arsed to type its track listing, that'll sum up many of my favourites. It has quite a lot of the usual swords & sandals epic stuff - Zimmer, Poledouris, Horner, Morricone etc. A half-serious collector might spot a good part of it even without a list.

Reminds me of Hans Zimmer's 'Journey to the Line' from The Thin Red Line soundtrack. May be a coincidence, though. Also, now I understand that people calling the last weekend's party (with Talamasca) a 100% cheesefest wasn't any exaggeration...
