    I haven't heard the set yet, but the tracklist is a winner. I loved Oforia, it's a pity he derailed:lol:
  2. Errr...you know, I thought Elysium was behind this Eleusyn project. Really. :lol:
  3. Why don't you upload them to Youtube, Soundclouds or 4shared? So we can listen to them.
  4. Got them! I received a comment in another forum saying it's impossible that some of such good tracks are more than 5 years old. Fine stuff never gets old, Spirallianz from 1999 drives people crazy to this day, Platform released only one album and it's one of the best ever in electronic music . I just wished there were more tech-trance good releases. Miss it a lot. 1. Hujaboy - Counting Spirals (Hom-mega Productions, 2002) 2. Ectima - Bounce (Tesserac Studios, 2010) 3. Platform - Wood (Star Jelly Records, 2004) 4. Platform - Conveyer (Star Jelly Records, 2004) 5. Spirallianz - Fast Forward (Spirit Zone Recordings, 1999) 6. Sentna - Xard Qcuxe from Tech Nald album (internet release, 2010) 7. Eargear - Pegelreiter (Bochumer Ton Manufaktur, 2000) 8. Platform - Back Front (Moonflower Productions, 2005) 9. Boo Reka - Psychodelichesky (Boshke Beats Records, 2002)
  5. I am working on that. I don't have the cover of a CD that was the base of this mix, I am trying to get iTunes to name them. But I remember some artists name by heart: Platform, Spirallianz, Boo Reka, Ectima, some Z.M.A.R.T. tracks. When I get them I will post here
  6. * Title: Procyon's Tech-Trance Industrial Landscapes Mix * Style: Techno-Trance * Size: 132.25 MB Hi, here's a compilation of some 2000's classics and a some fresh tech-trance stuff. Hope you enjoy it!
  7. There's also Ariel in X-Dream, though I honestly dislike her work a lot. Instead of taking X-Dream to a higher level, her vocal/lyrics/performance just made their last album to be renegated by Marcus and Jan's fans (me, included. I don't have the album, don't like it, can't dance to it) and she looks like an untalented transvestite on stage. Reminds also of Melicia, another female whose work is pure crap.
  8. I agree, the camera was way too close to the speakers, it sounds a little bit distorted. Anyway I recognized it the first 5 seconds. But what I really meant is that most times people listen to a track on earphones, and then the impact of listening to a full-power bassline in a sound system is surprising. I guess it has to do with the so-called "hid frequencies" which I guess are the ones we don't hear but our body feels, or so I heard.
  9. You mean, a la Ten album, the crapiest AP work so far? With remixes by the "talents" like Melicia , Bizarre Contact , Delirious ?? Please spare us from that again!!
  10. Well, that's the difference of listening to a track on an iPod and then listening to it in a powerful sound system in a club. Bass, melodies, drums seem to be completely different, faster, fatter.
  11. Awesome crowd!! But it's MWNN, who can't dance to this guy? The track is "Dirty Trick", was released in 2007. Here's she, whole:

  13. These two albums are superb pieces of tech-trance: Platform-Hypnoplant (album) http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/sjr/sjr1cd001.html Charm-Pathfinder (album) http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/psr/psr1cd001.html
  14. Some more: Nerve-Channel 269 (2002 remix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95Ud_JGqF2o Hujaboy-Counting Spirals (yes, Hujaboy did some decent music before he started doing full-on crap, believe it or not )
  15. I will follow your lead on the first post: The Delta, X-Dream and Dark Soho. I think we share the same taste: I like tech-trance, but the fat one. I admire Zenon and Boshke Beat, but IMO they release more minimal techno than tech-trance. Soundmute is great, I love Opsy. But I don't see the 'classic' tech-trance style anymore. Here are my favorites, all from 1996-2002. Eargear-Pegelreiter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1lsl1p-rls Nerve-Channel 59 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu6r0sLV6w0
  16. Not an easy question. So many good compilations, back then. Destination Goa, Goahead. I will pick one, #4, but all them are "best". http://www.saikosounds.com/english/display_release.asp?id=530
  17. I am sorry for your sister. I think that every track can cause an emotional apex like the one you felt. It depends on one's background, the sound system, the people around you, even the weather. I say this because I have read about people crying copiously listening to Skazi in commercial gigs we despise so much. Personally, I had once to stop dancing to Chi-ad's "The Flame Of Ethernal Life", because it caused me so much joy, happiness, I was crying and people around me where either standing, hypnotized, like I was, or they were dancing as if they had just discovered they had legs.
  18. Sentna – Monotonic Function Of Theta 01 - Monotonic Function Of Theta (137 BPM) 02 - What's Wrong With The Planet (138 BPM) 03 - Full Off (Moving Your Head) (136 BPM) 04 - Escaping Velocity (137 BPM) 05 - Big Electron (145 BPM) 06 - The Never Body (138 BPM) 07 - Spinning Molecules (140 BPM) I rarely feel motivated to review an album. Review positively, I mean. But, also rarely, I come accross an album that really catches my ear. So there I was taking a look at Ektoplazm.com, when I heard SENTNA. Here's how Ektoplazm describes this artist: Monotonic Function Of Theta is the third solo album by Sentna (Apostolis K.), a Greek producer specializing in a heavy-handed variety of psychedelic techtrance. Released by Ektoplazm, this mini-album bristles with raw industrial power, dirty atmospheres, razor-sharp leads, and a full-on drive. Mastered by Southwild (Jay Kerner) with cover art by Sentna. Being a fan of tech-trance, I sometimes feel "deceived" by works branded as "tech-trance", but in truth are either progressive psy or minimal techno. What I understand, and love, as tech-trance is the league of artists with names like The Delta, Eargear, Platform. And that's exactly where SENTNA place is: his tracks are heavy, fat, a perfect mix of trance and techno: 1. Monotonic Function Of Theta: the opening track starts with an industrial feeling to it, which pushes it to the techno realm. 2. What's Wrong With The Planet: a multi-layered heavy track with a hypnotic drum, very trancey and with the right dose of melody. 3. Full-Off (Moving Your Head): a more "minimalist" track in comparison to the track above, it again sounds industrial techno. The fat bassline is gorgeous. 4. Escaping Velocity: a spinning tornado, #4 is the a perfect example of what a tech-trance track should be. Every layer is in the right place, drum and bassline are fat, hypnotic. Perfect. Drink a shot of diesel before listening to this track! 5. Big Electron: the fastest track of the album (145 bpm) is a little bit dreamy, nightmarish. Not exactly the danceable, a la psytrance. The atmospheric FX are heavier in this track. 6. The Never Body: the most techno track of this album, it's crude, raw till 4:00. After that a hypnotic effect makes it a stomper. 7. Spinning Molecules: the album closes with another multi-layered track, techy with aggressive - but gorgeous - FX. My rating: I will give it a 9 out of 10. Nine because it's really danceable, well written and SENTNA made a wonderful work, not sounding minimal or progressive. I don't give it a 10 because I think it lacked a real fat tech-trance track, despite that "Escaping Velocity" is one of the best tracks I have heard in ages. 9/10 http://www.ektoplazm.com/2011/sentna-monotonic-function-of-theta Mod edit: added missing information. Please read the rules/guidelines before posting a review.
  19. errr..., don't you guys think it's really a bad idea? Well, I will be one who will tell you "I told you!" :lol:
  20. It is really bad, I listened to, what?, 10 seconds of every track. In this case, you can judge the inside by its cover - ugly. A pity that Phantams has reached this low.
  21. Hmm, I don't like the word "gay" - I think it is way too "sex", less feelings. But, yes, I dated Paul - the 18 years old drug dealer. I was 16 at the time.
  22. I loved Depeche Mode. They're part of a time I miss a lot. My favorite one is Never Let me Down Again. I remember I was dating a handsome drug dealer who was always depressed, I felt desperate, trying to help him, feeling depressed too. So 1980s. Thank God I can laugh to these memories now.
