It's like comics and the collecting of anything. Keeps values high, and encourages more people to buy it quick. If the consumer buys the product quickly, it pumps money back into the label for its next release. If it wasn't limited, the consumer would have less reason to buy quickly and therefore the income that the label is requiring for future product goes unearned. And it is fun collecting records and knowing where you scored that awesome rare 12" or album. What store. What town. Time of day. It's cool.

Indeed! Sean's sets tend to be about 50/50 of his material and others. But those tracks that he selects all have a very proper sound and his mixing style is unique. I'm very stoked that he is slowly getting his groove back on and taking the occasional DJ gig. =)

Process has just been announced as part of this lineup for Psymply Psychedelic this summer. http://apolloslute.com for more info! =)

Robomate - Skill Sampler is fucking AWESOME.

I have the most complete collection of Messiah singles and albums of anyone I know. Messiah rules

[wasn't sure what section to put this in, so i chose here, feel free to move it if you need to] Hi hi! I am wondering how many of you live in the UK and are music collectors who would be hitting up something like Record Store Day next week. I live in the USA and cannot participate but I would _really_ love to score a certain 7" from this and if anyone is hitting this up, I'd love to tip you handsomely if you can score me a record. More info is at: http://www.recordstoreday.com/uk Also, if you are just a vinyl junky in general, ROCK! I still collect. Always will. My goa collection from decades past is one thing, then I have my PWEI collection and Blur, Neds Atomic Dustbin, and other britpop collections. Ween, Skinny Puppy and old industrial, plus a hefty bit of hiphop too. Skweee, trance, techno. A complete collection of the old techno group Messiah, and a lot of Orbital, Utah Saints and some Underworld. MmmMmMmMmMmmmm vinyl. But yeah, if you are in the UK and would be willing to grab me a 7" at Record Store Day, please let me know! I can Paypal you money or hide it in the tray of a CD case or snag you a record from over here and mail it over in exchange. However you wish to roll. Cheers!

Good morning! Head on over to http://goaconstrictor.com/radio at 10am (PDT) for the newest broadcast of FABULOUS! Radio. It's Monday, I just finished my homework, and it's time for some musical interludes. See you soon! xoxox -A'damn

My Top 10 List of labels from anytime are (in no particular order): Flying Rhino Demon Tea Matsuri Blue Room Psy-Harmonics Exogenic 6-D Soundz Freakdance Suntrip Elektrik Orgasm

The lack of Flying Rhino in your list is appalling!

I have to massively disagree. This album has aged greatly and still sounds nice on my ears. I can listen to those melodies for another 15 years and still be satisfied.

Process has 2 albums out, One Drop or Two? and Superior Technology. Sean Williams is a great psychedelic musician who definitely took sounds to a new level. His early work with Pete 'Slide' Martin as Satori were all very instrumental in my early days of Goa back in 1995/96/97. His work with Tristan around that era are also highly encouraged. All of Sean's solo work is top of the line, proper UK style psytrance with great attention to analog synths. A while back he stopped focusing on psytrance and was working on some great chill out jazz stuff with a group called The Mystery School Ensemble. Great great work with that project and some wonderful music. Since then he has been working on a project called Monosynth Orchestra. It is a freeform experimental sound collage type act that is really awesome. If you like noise and drone music, you'd like them. Sean gets out from time to time to drop an occasional DJ set for people, but he can be a bit of a recluse in his academic pursuits of sound. But, I totally agree, if you don't have any of his work, you are truly missing out. You'll notice that the Beast 12" that Sean did with Simon Posford was really the last psytrance that Simon made. I, personally, believe that it is because that single is kind of the peak of that era of psytrance and Simon knows that he'll never top it. So Simon focuses on other projects.

. . . @ http://goaconstrictor.com/radio That's right kids. It's time for another fabulous installment of FABULOUS! Radio. It's Friday and bloody hell, that is some excellent news. Whether you're going to Tigercore or Catsup tonight, Gumar and his Magical Midi Band, Various, or the Heartless Heather's pre-Valentine's Day Bash tomorrow; all choices are good choices and decompression pre-party time has arrived. So while you finish up your weekly activities, eat some dinner, and have a few cheap drinks at your house while getting snazzy for the evening, allow me to entertain you with the smooth sounds of Radio KGOA. Playing only the smoothest cuts from the archives . . . and maybe some of the new Squarefeet stuff. And those Okta and Puoskari albums. And some Vishnudata. And maybe a bit of Product.01. And some Rip Van Hippy. And a few other odds and ends that I know you want to hear. FABULOUS!

This movie was amazingly boring and pointless. G.I. Joe >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Artist: Traject Album: Birting Record Label: Creative Space Records Artist MySpace Page: myspace.com/traject Review: I hate losing CDs. It’s a massive problem in my life. I am constantly misplacing little annoying pieces of plastic and searching for them. I sometimes lose disks for months and occasionally years. I hate it. While I have some problems with records, it isn’t anywhere near the problem that I have with CDs. This is why I try to always burn at least one backup to my disks and try to keep my originals shelved and never touched. But this also creates more waste on our planet and I hate doing that. Last year I got a new album from an artist named Traject and it floored me. I loved it. Then I lost it before I could back it up. The days became weeks. The weeks became months. Next thing I know, it is 2010 and I am moving homes with the fear that I will never see my disk again. I still haven’t unpacked a single box of CDs. They are all in multiple boxes around my apartment with only my records and the disks in my CD wallets to keep me company. But I did open one box. I was looking for a track for a gig and I knew it was probably in this one box of random disks. I opened the box and started searching through the disks. Not it. Not it. Not it. Not . . . wait a second. I FOUND MY TRAJECT CD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And then everything changed. My new home gifted me with what I needed at that moment, Traject. From that moment on, I felt connected to my new surroundings. The place is different than my last home, but the spirits in these walls reached out and gave me an offering of peace. Creative Space Records is a very unique and wonderful label based out of Greece. The people behind Creative Space Records used to operate a label called Devic Craft ‘Cordings and released a very small but totally amazing assortment of psychedelic trance music. The double CD from Spyweirdos called “Fairy Tales” is still one of the more magical albums that I have. Sadly, after only a handful of releases, Devic Craft decided to stop releasing music. Fortunately, they only chose to shift musical focuses a bit and changed their name to match their mission statement. A place for artists to have the creative space necessary to do something new. Creative Space have a very unique catalog behind them and these days they push the boundaries of what is music, drone, experimental, trance, glitch and noise. Traject is one of these artists. I am not a massive fan of a lot of glitchy noise music. There is so much drone and glitch music that reminds me of a 6-year-old falling asleep while holding down a note on a keyboard, but then there are the artists who can expertly craft a world of tones and beats that dance along rhythm that can entrance your mind in a way that a basic four-on-the-floor could never do. Traject’s album “Birting” is an album that blends discordant beats with a symphony of hypnotic tones. It is glitchy in an Open-Field-Sunrise-With-Boards-Of-Canada sort of way. The album sounds like a haunted house, creeping and echoing all around you as you try to navigate your way to door. Acoustic instruments echoing from distant rooms of the house being played by -or possessed by- ghosts. Not mean ghosts. Confused and scared ghosts. The ghosts don’t know what is going on or where they are at, so they start blending sounds to create a state of trance in an effort to conjure up the spirits who might have the answers that they are searching for. Having this album back in my life is like finding the missing page that was previous torn out of my book of hymns. While the discordant tones and industrial soundscapes that get woven into the fabric of these enchantments might be too much for some to handle, I know it will be perfect for many. Once you hear it and begin digesting it, you may discover that this album has been missing from your own ghost-filled world as well. I truly look forward to hearing what Traject does next. I have a feeling that I’ll be listening to his ghosts for years to come. xoxox -A’damn

It's a movie, it doesn't need to mean anything.

You all really need to stop bringing "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" into this. While Apatow worked on the first draft of this in 2000, he then left and the project was stalled. When it came back into action years later and underwent rewrites, Apatow had noting to do with it. He didn't direct. Didn't produce. Didn't write what you saw. It is not an Apatow movie. It is a shitty Adam Sandler movie.

Don't lump You Don't Mess With The Zohan in with Apatow. That wasn't his piece of shit. As for Funny People, it would have been a lot better without Adam Sandler. An older comic like Steve Martin would have been a good choice.

I haven't listened to the mix, but I'll comment on the file question. I used to do my mixes split but now I have stopped doing so. I do this to give tracks one extra layer of protection before they can be cutout and traded. Where there is a will, there is a way, but I do my best to at least limit the ease of piracy. Also, the idea of a DJ mix is to promote yourself and the music of the artists. If people want to skip ahead in a mix and hear a specific track, they should just go buy that track and album. Then they can listen to it whenever they choose.

Hello! It has been a year since I have made a fully psychedelic mixed CD, so I thought it was time to correct this oversight. And correct it I did! TWO FULL DISKS 157 MINUTES OF PSYCHEDELIC AUDIO STORM Mix includes: Texas Faggott, Lightaman Jr, Terrafractyl, Primecyde, Okta, Sattel Battle, Psilodump, Benza, Ticon, Puoskari, and many more! Download links, full tracklist and art are available for download at: http://goaconstrictor.com/djmixes Enjoy! xoxox -A'damn

Hello, It is December now and that means that the holidays are officially upon us. This here is a mix made specifically for the holidays. I used to hate Christmas music growing up, then one day a few years back I fell in love with certain styles, sounds and albums. This mix was made long before my massive collection really took hold and I am looking forward to making a new one at some point. It is very family friendly and perfect for putting on during a holiday cocktail party or while sharing a special moment by the fire with a loved one. I only upload this mix once a year, so grab it now before it’s gone until Xmas 2010! Download the audio from here. (79min/VariableMP3/Tracklist/134MB/©2007) xoxox -A'damn
