  1. astrix is a guilty pleasure I don't follow deeply or anything but I do think he is in on the joke he can out-cheese man with no name and has a special place in my bubblegum pop heart
  2. Might be cheaper to do a limited edition USB drive of 50 than pressing 300 glass master CDs I know some people who do this each summer for selling at a hacker convention There are lots of places that do it Here's one: https://www.customusb.com/spin-flash-drive/ I can ask my mates who they ordered from if you're interested I'd totally buy one!
  3. Juno Reactor - Luciana (at least it's 60 minutes long)
  4. No, not me A friend and his musical partner made me a theme song while they were bored in the studio Seemed a shame to never put it on anything
  5. Excellent choices! The entire Blue Planet album could really qualify here
  6. From looking at the track listings, these mixes might be up your alley: http://goaconstrictor.com/music/real-snow/ http://goaconstrictor.com/music/harvest/ http://goaconstrictor.com/music/psyperbolic/ http://goaconstrictor.com/music/mayhem/
  7. Rip Van Hippy Odd Harmonic Scozbor Outolintu Haltya (My Little Ponies... you speaking of Vishnudata? It was a rainbow of unicorns, but similar in look)
  8. All joking aside, Dr. Williams definitely loves modular synths and sound design
  9. ...and the Process & Tristan, Promethues Process, Process and Tsuyoshi, and Process and James Munro tracks? ;-) lolololol
  10. You mean, other than Beast (w/ Simon Posford) which was easily Simon's high water mark for psychedelic trance as well...
  11. because almost all new music is shit Tekniset is fairly unique sounding and from the 2000s James Reipas
  12. I can't even make it through the first track. I think I got part way into tracks 2 and 3 a couple of times and keep switching to something else Just not interesting to me Psychopod "Headlines" is still their mind-bending pinnacle for me and it was far more banging and heavy than anything with a generic 16th note bass line
  13. Everything by Texas Faggott/Mandalavandalz
  14. Okay, I contributed. I didn't really need/want the signed disk but I support your music so I donated the extra. Hopefully this does well and it gets released =) Looking forward to hearing it
  15. I dunno, 100 Euros sounds like a fair price Sucks about getting ripped off though. The fucking Greek. No wonder all of their gods went extinct.
  16. I can only imagine what those conversations were like. Dr. Process is not an easy one to pin down and I'm so very excited to hear what you two did. I miss him... and his amazing shirt collection... Send him my hugs next time you chat!
  17. Liking what I'm hearing and am anxious to hear the final product. I'll post my contribution soon =)
  18. Artist: Younger Brother Album: Vaccine Electronic Label: Twisted Link Buy Review: Getting to hear this album has to have been one of the longest, most pointless, journeys I’ve had to endure, but I’m so thankful that they finally pulled their heads out of asses and made this available to the public. For those unaware, Younger Brother started out as a project between the esteemed Simon Posford (Hallucinogen, Shpongle) and Benji Vaughn (Prometheus, Prometheus Process, The Zap!). Their first album was a somewhat straightforward take on the various sounds of psychedelic trance. The second album is where the magic truly formed though. On their 2007 album The Last Days of Gravity, Benji and Simon enlisted the help of Leftfield vocalist Ruu Campbell. The album used the vocals sparingly, mixed and folded into the luscious psychedelic swirl that was the Younger Brother soundscape. It was a breathtaking album and was going to lead towards one of two ways: they were either going to amp up the vocals and become more of a real band (more Coldplay than Radiohead or Underworld) or they were gonna keep making an interesting blend of modern psychedelic Underworld meets Radiohead chill out pop dance music. Well, in 2011, they did the perfectly predictable and completely sad, and released Vaccine. Vaccine was not what I wanted. Underneath all of the standard pop songs was a real unique album; I just couldn’t hear it. This bullshit was annoying mostly because I knew, deep down, they probably mixed it entirely differently, in a way that would capture what it should have been, and that I would likely never hear it. Then, they admitted it. After suffering through the blandness of Vaccine in its original released form, Younger Brother hinted that there was an Electronic Mix of the album. They would play tracks of it at DJ sets, but it was never released. Eventually, they released a shite phone app that would stream it. But, really? Fuck you. Honestly. Fuck you. That is garbage. I want the album. Ideally, I would like it on vinyl. But a CD is good too. Hell, a proper download would be the least desirable but still acceptable format. Why wouldn’t they release it? Well, I have a variety of thoughts on this and what I believe is that they were committed to breaking into the mainstream with pop music and wanted to push Vaccine to its fullest. Well, that album didn’t take off as high as I think they were expecting. It was just not special. There was little to set it apart from the rest of the bland and forgettable shit being released. Releasing the Electronic mix of the album would make this resonate even more strongly. So they made it the most impossible album to get. It was Beach Boys Smile of a new era. Only this wasn’t shelved due to the psychological malfunctions of its composer. Well, it WAS due to this, but it wasn’t due to needing to be institutionalized, it was due to believing that selling a crap ton of commercially safe music might be better for them. That failed and then, four years after Vaccine, and eight years after what was first explored in Last Days of Gravity, the true followup, Vaccine Electronic has been released unto the world. And it is AMAZING. It is so good. Lush, weaving soundscapes. Warm melodies, soft vocals being carefully manipulated by true masters of their craft. It’s just enough to tell you the story and take you on the journey without getting you lost in exposition. Show it, don’t say it. Paint the story with a variety of elements. Vaccine Electronic is the Younger Brother album I’ve been waiting for since 2007 and I hope that they release a followup to it soon. And not the vocal version of it either. Please continue following on the path of Last Days of Gravity and Vaccine Electronic and release more experimental, psychedelic, mixed tempo, pop music for a new era. Thank you for finally giving us what we wanted. Thank you for listening to the fans. Please don’t take so long next time xoxox -Genghis Goa Constrictor
  19. Not sure if this is the right place for this. I have been wanting a copy of this for a while. I have most of these tracks on Fetish Box but not Antenna Freak or Afro Black (Remix) (although Afro Black Remix might actually be Aphro Black). Anyway, if anyone has a copy of this or these tracks, please let me know!!
  20. This kind of got lost in the swirl of things If you don't want to slog through the full 604 mix but want to hear the final segment of the 04 seasons, here is the Fall music for your pleasure =)
  21. and the Puoskari album on 6 Dimension Soundz "Open the Forest" has the hilarious pressing problem of about 04 tracks (give or take a few) that were pressed unmastered. It is believed that Sharaku simply grabbed the wrong files out of the dropbox and pressed the disk with the unmastered versions instead of the mastered versions. It's quite the bummer, as the album is excellent, but whatever. Shit happens....
