the goa constrictor

This is why the big name DJs are so bland. They always play the middle of the road stuff because it is none threatening. People don't get offended but they don't go on a journey either. An aside: about fifteen years ago, one of my mates made a shirt that read, "I'm the DJ" on the front, and "not a jukebox" on the back. Was a great gift =)

this thread has taken a wonderful turn towards awesome

Honestly, this is how I feel about most of my favorite music. It's not that it is utter crap when I'm not in the mood, but the best music is made with specific moods and energies in mind. If you try and queue up the wrong album at the wrong time, it is just tragic. At the right time though, it shines. This is why DJing can be a true art form. It takes this understanding and puts it front and center. And this is also why some people find me a polarizing figure. Sometimes my choices for the "right energy" are not inline with everyone else. Sometimes they align greatly but other times I am a bit left of center. Great music is never 100% correct all of the time. That would be middle of the road stuff. Which is why Astral Projection and Infected Mushroom are so well received; absolutely middle of the road quality... ;-) (yes, I am totally trolling for the lulz with that comment)

lololololololololove you guys

+1 seriously. I kind of got lost in that blob of stuff ...and then there were nazis... ?! lololololol

what?

The rumors of Ektoplazms demise seem greatly exaggerated. That said, bandcamp is great and the best option for all independent music. Toss is up there as a Pay What You Want and then post some links wherever you wish. Either that or send 2 or 3 of your best tracks to various labels that you think might be the best fit, see if they'll pick you up

My contribution to this topic: Shiwa 2000 - Lonely Man that said, reply to OG poster: No way is BPC - Cyclothymic the saddest trance song! I've always pictured that as just a powerful storm of energy. It's vibrant and alive. It crashes through the chaos of a tsunami and of the hurricanes. I agree that it is powerful and dynamic, but much like Process and Tristan's - Dealing with Demons, I don't find that energy to be sad. It's going through something, it might be troubling, but it isn't melancholic or sad.

O*Men have a great 12" on Nephilim and a somewhat unreleased full album as well

I really love goa. Like, a lot, a lot. But that statement is just really silly

I have two Nu Grebo pop albums on Bandcamp under my Fried Kale moniker The Somnambulating Schematic of the Obstreperous https://friedkale.bandcamp.com/album/the-somnambulating-schematic-of-the-obstreperous and Paint by Numbers https://friedkale.bandcamp.com/album/paint-by-numbers

^^^ That's my jam! lololololol

I'd possibly consider Unlive to be a one-hit wonder They have one absolutely stellar track on Funland Boogie Files (and I guess two other comps, but I've not heard those) and then disappeared. I heard that they had a full album ready to go but nothing happened with it. Wish they did more. and Eupsychia who had one smashing 12" on Shiva Space Technology and then vanished. That 12" still stands out as something special all of these years later

Hammerface Ultraviolet

I might. I massively love Darshan and I think I have these somewhere. Sadly, I had a couple of sequential hard drive failures and I lost some stuff. I'll scope and see what I can dig up...

Speaking Robots vs Answer - UFO Attack

Psychaos - Dense Dawn

How about some Juju Space Jazz!

I love cassettes. I have a box full of them in my studio. I archived nearly all of my radio shows to cassette when I was doing that. What I really love about the cassette mix is that you put it in and it sometimes starts in the middle. There is no fast forwarding, no skipping. Just slams you into an energy and off you go! They're fairly durable and fit into your pocket, unlike a CD which is much larger and cumbersome. Cassettes are great! I miss them =)

Gonna go catch Civil War later this afternoon! Looking forward to it =)

The Infinity Project - Hyperspaced (Doof Remix)

The Real Life is sooooo good. Paps has a great techy sound So much groove to it As for Shaolin Wooden Men, Ollie has been posting random stuff to soundcloud here and there. He might release something again at some point =)

PAPS =( =( =( =( =( =( =(

Yay for a happy update!! Can't wait to hear it Drezz!
