the goa constrictor

I had no idea they had written so much music

A. Ubar Tmar is worth it. B. You can buy it and then resell the disk after you download the audio C. Are you one of the people who complains about the DAT Records Mind Rewind comps? Anyway, I'm just teasing a bit. Life is full of opportunity costs. It's the foundation of how an economy works. We don't get to have everything we want, I chose to buy Ubar Tmar instead of other releases because I really like Ubar Tmar. You are free to do something different

Do what I did; buy the disk and receive download code =) Love the album!!!!

Oh mang... Bible of Dreams is a perfect album. Same with Beyond the Infinite. I will say that both albums had parts which weren't immediately my favorites but grew on me with time and I love more and more as the years have passed; but those are perfect albums.

This album rules so hard! It gave me much energy for my day at work =)

I always considered him to be riding the line for the get go; which isn't a negative. There is a place for that type of acidic, high energy, powerful psychedelic trance. Lots of melodies and dripping with cheese. He always had some tracks which didn't work for me, but I appreciated that his music worked for so many different people and he had far more hits than misses. Looking forward to hearing what his new album sounds like. I'm expecting it to be more of a modern trance sound, but I'm sure there will be a couple of gems on the album and any new MWNN gem is worth getting. When he hits big, he hits huge. Much respect and he's still on my Hit the Lottery Dream Line-Up festival I'd put together....

Do we get a download code or do I have to wait until I find someone with a CD drive and rip the CD I ordered?

Hey mate, I appreciate you saying something and addressing this. I typically stay out of topics that don't interest me and have a history of only writing positive reviews of music because I never saw the need of trying to dissuade someone from enjoying something that they enjoy. It not being my cup of tea doesn't mean others can't enjoy it. So I really do appreciate your criticism of the conversation. That said, I was simply curious as to what genre was being created. From a purely categorical perspective, I was curious. GMS, and Infected Mushroom are acts I'm not entirely fond of but completely appreciate that they have defined sounds and I recognize that. I just never viewed Talamasca as being like that. Maybe I'm wrong, and that's entirely possible, but that's what I was commenting on and was trying to unpack. Not that someone shouldn't like the music. Just trying to understand the context of it. Maybe Talamasca _IS_ the 3D Vision sound and maybe he created that, but that hasn't been my perspective thus far. I was asking because I was wondering if I'm wrong about things...

Oh, I just always thought Talamasca was mostly derivative full-on. Early stuff sounded like the rest of the 3D Vision catalog, which all was essentially French full-on. Some good shit in there, a lot of mediocrity. Definitely had its place within a set but could never stomach a full set of only that sound (I guess I essentially feel that way about all music though)... Talamasca took on a more Astrix and Skazi vibe as his music went on. More cheese, less depth from the earlier stuff. His music isn't terrible, I just don't think it's that unique or special; definitely not creating his own subgenre level of worthiness.

what subgenre would that be?

One of my biggest problems with the goa trance scene has been its susceptibility for buying into conspiracies and pseudoscience. I know vaccines are scary, but they've been vetted and are far more safe than getting the plague. New theories suggest the increased rates of autism are, not because of the rise of vaccines but, due to the processed foods, sugars, and grains. Not processed as in GMO tomatoes, but the refined sugars and flours. Our guts control so much of our mind and body that when we take in a bunch of rubbish, and pass that down to our young, it fucks with them. Change the diet, change the mind.

Yup. Societal immunization is why we're able to eradicate diseases. Not everyone is able to get immunizations due to age or sickness, and they are protected because everyone else is.

Space Tribe? ESP? Deedrah? Mad Maxx? eXuus? Mandalavandalz?

lolololol

Juno Reactor are playing at DEFCON in Vegas this summer in the USA. I vend at that every summer, so I'll be going. I doubt it'll be as awesome as the Bible of Dreams tour, but I'm not gonna give up all hope just yet

If you like Bigwigs, be sure to check out Kino Oko. If you want more industrial-esque psy, check out: Psychaos, Cydonia, and the labels Aurinko Records and Atomic Records.

Time and decades of digging through music...

Damn. He was massively influential on the scene. From the full-on bassline to the fabled GMS Song Generator, they produced hit after hit. I wasn't a big GMS fan, but I definitely love a few of their remixes and collaborations and their Riktam and Bansi project tended to be more of my liking. They definitely know how to make something banging and could bring the power. Played one of their collaborations this past weekend. RIP Bansi

pre-ordered!!!

this guy again?

…CLUB LIFE… [::::download::::] (1hr31min/320MP3/223MB/©2018) Genre: Club Music DJ FABULOUS! has been in hiding for quite a bit. Other than a couple of additions to the ongoing Good Morning series, there hasn’t been any club beats of bouncy boogie bangers in nearly a decade. I guess it kinda makes sense, as I was never really into the clubs and always preferred the damp forests, but from time to time, much fun can be had in those claustrophobic concrete holes of echo n bass. Some music just resonates a bit better when you’re shoved into a small chamber with hundreds of others, all trying to avoid the sticky spots on the floor (and also hoping to not add to those sticky spots as you’re continually bumped into by others). Actually, fuck, I hate all of that. Maybe I’ll keep hanging out in my own “club” where there’s no door charge, no queue for refreshments, no one smashing into you, and the place is filled with blue skies, green trees, bumble bees, and living things… Yeah… this is my Club Life! [TRACKLIST] xoxox -Fab

yeah, like, the 90s DAT tape era is likely filled with so many errors, it's kinda surprising things get released as accurately as they do. to be honest though, I'd much rather have things like the alternate mixes of Doof's "Let's Turn On" pressed on vinyl than than the live Pleiadians/Etnica albums, but that's a petty bit of non-issue and doesn't take away from the overall excellent and diverse work DAT is doing. my ongoing wish list is rather simple: 1. release the 45 minute Hallucinogen remix of Slinky Wizard and 2. pink Doof shirts lololololol

The first Ticon, Son Kite, and XV Kilist albums are not good. Once they dropped the dark minimalism and got more sparkly, the music improved greatly...

If you're archiving, archive in Flac. You'll save space and can ensure that you can encode it to mp3 or burn as wav without losing data or residual artifacts. If you save as mp3, decompressing and recompressing will eventually lead to signal noise and icky stuff. If you save as wav, you won't have the tags and metadata. And you'll be wasting space. I really think long-term data backup should just be in flac. I rarely need to encode to mp3 these days, it's not really a bother when i to need to...

FLAC is better for tags
