    He is/runs Artifact I didn't know they were still putting stuff out. The Mystery School Ensemble is a project of Drezz (Nervasystem) and Sean did some stuff on some of the tracks too. Great stuff. Definitely not psytrance.

    Hello, While I enjoy DJing and sharing Goa Trance music, I've never been one to write Goa Trance I write music that I call Nu Grebo (a modern take on Pop Will Eat Itself, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, mixed with some Ween, Mogwai, and NIN) My new album is out now. Feel free to give it a listen. And feel free to remix it too Fried Kale The Somnambulating Schematic of the Obstreperous Listen for free: https://soundcloud.com/friedkale Purchase and support: http://friedkale.bandcamp.com/

    Yeah, he's into sound collages and direct recordings with interesting hardware and microphones. Loves playing with modular gear Is literally a Dr. of audio now, which is very fitting for the man. He was definitely one of the roots and reasons I feel in love with this music. His early work as Satori with Pete Martin was one of my first 12" loves. His live set was one of the best live shows I have ever witnessed too

    It's really a tie between Macrometasomakosmos and Ubarpedia

    If the quality is anything like the Nervasystem shirt, the art is as clear as smeared toothpaste and it's cut for a stubby barrel.... Good comp though.

    Congratulations on the campaign! Please keep us posted on the printing and shit! So very bummed that the Nervasystem 12" didn't get funded =( I was real stoked on that... :/

    Seb and Natasha are such great human beings. They are both so genuinely caring and nice and both seemed real humble and down to earth to me. Seb's music as Shakta, Digitalis, Hibernation, Kaya Project, 8-Ball, and Foxglove are all so awesome. Too bad that last Shakta album never got released. I wonder if he'll ever release the music from it, or if he still writes new psytrance music.

    Yeah, my guess is that Claudio n Simon had a falling out (likely over money/royalties) and Claudio didn't want to work on the project with him.

    but, then again, people seem to disagree with me about a lot of things. so who knows...

    I'm pretty sure that I've explained the problem with the new Union Jack in other threads, but I'm gonna explain this again. It's fairly obvious once laid out: Platipus Records is owned by Simon Berry Art of Trance is Simon Berry Simon Berry also collaborated with many different artists from the label too. Terra Ferma is Claudio Giussani Union Jack is a collaboration between Claudio Giussani and Simon Berry P.O.B. is a solo project by Paul Brogden Clanger is a collaboration between Paul Brogden and Simon Berry So this is where it gets frustrating to me as a follower of this label for just about 20 years, the name Union Jack has weight and merit. They earned all of the respect and love that people have for them. Union Jack is Claudio and Simon. The new "union jack" is actually Clanger. If Simon actually wanted you to be objective about the music and judge it on its own strength and merit, he would trust that giving it a new name, or simply making it a new Clanger album, would have garnered the same results. Simon is obviously trying to sell a few extra albums by using the Union Jack name. I like POB and Clanger a lot. I really enjoyed those releases and even considered trying to book POB for a party around 2000/2001 out here. So I have no problem with Paul and Simon kicking ass and writing killer music together. I just find it curious that they decided to give it the name of (arguably) the label's biggest name. Art of Trance was good n all, but Union Jack was easily the defining artist back in the day. Robert Miles bailed and shit like "Calling your Name" found some success, but Union Jack is legend. They are Union Jack. Simon knew what he was doing by releasing the new release under that name. It definitely got more attention than it would have if it was named something else. I just find it kind of lame and cheap.

    Thanks for making digital downloads available! =) threadjack I started off with vinyl and, to me, CDs were never more than a necessary means-to-an-end stopgap between vinyl and the current digital world of Traktor, Ableton, and Serato. CDs were never collector items or old school. I'm real excited for the new Nervasystem 12" and I really hope it gets funded. /threadjack Thanks again for putting out great music and engaging in dialog with your listeners =)

    Quietman was always the under appreciated crown jewel of Platipus Records.

    In early 2000 while surfing for Internet porn, I came across a series of videos featuring the same two people in their room with Hallucinogen playing in the background. I forget the track but I remember it was off of Twisted. I posted it to the 604 list back then. If anyone was on that and has the shit archived, you might be able to find the link... because, you know, all links stay active forever.

    Personally, I hate physical CDs and end up ripping them to FLAC immediately anyway. One thing that I learned over the past two months was that when I bought the Nervasystem CD and it didn't arrive for nearly two months, I sat around pissed and annoyed because I dropped cash on something and had nothing to show for it. Flash forward to the Deviant Electronics album. I also bought the physical CD to support the artist but it came with an immediate download of the FLAC for instant gratification. I still haven't received my disk in the mail yet but haven't needed to bitch and moan about it because I have the music and that's what I care about. I honestly don't have the time or patience to fuck with the postal service these days and I'm far more slow and hesitant to drop cash on failed media options. I love vinyl and will still buy that from a collectors standing, but since I am gonna rip everything digitally anyway, you may as well do it for me and sell me the best option. Also, if you sell digitally, you can sell the nice 24-bit audiophile stuff and give us audio snobs something worthy of our cash. A 16-bit CD rip is kind of ghetto in this day and age...

    I understand your frustration and have experienced it in the past myself. but sometimes those subtle differences really materialize in the context of a set and sometimes you kind of want both of them. this is one of those silly "a song is never finished" things that can become problematic if an artist doesn't make executive choices. There is that Planet Syncro 12" Vampire State Building. Red and Purple are the versions. Both songs are structurally very similar, but then they made two different tracks out of it. And depending on mood and timing, one version is definitely the better choice than the other. It's not necessarily a cheap way to fill a CD per se, they might simply recognize that there are differences in the tracks and that it was hard to choose, so if you don't have to pick one and can put both out, may as well give us both tracks =)

    lololol Years ago I decided that I was no longer playing Psychedelic Trance and was instead playing Dissociative Trance. Even made a few mixes... lololol =)

    look at the breakdown at 445. the wave forms are different. i can't remember the tracks off the top of my head, but it is clear that they are different. sure, they might be closer to the same, but they are two different tracks. there are many 12"s with an A and B side that are virtually identical. it's cool. sometimes you want to play one version and other times you want the other.
