Genialt! .. A question though to your uber hypodermical correct and educational weeded out chart for shroomers on acid. Didn't Psychedelic Trance come before trance? I'm not sure but I do know that Goatrance was ,,invented" or ,,discovered" before Euro-Trance (Isreali Full-On is the same same as Euro-trance, only more fancy). - Hm, this would be nice to know actually, what sort of trance induced 4/4 beat oriented music came first and what spawned what genre within trance. GoaTrance DreamTrance EuroTrance IsraTrance Aka. Full-On Trance (Not including the UK based FullOn which uses the term 'FullOn' in another way then what the Isreali Full-on connects to) Anyone care to shed some lights on this Trancequation?

Uhm .. A Blueprint For Survival - by - Blue Planet Corporation?

IF thats not correct, i'll have a go and guess; Star Sounds Orchestra e. Wait, is this the name the album title or artist name or both or what's the fuzz around this game? Dancing Galaxy is the album name by Astral Projection, right!

Beat of the Year? Post of the decade! Love this album btw!

Psysex – Healing (HOM-Mega Productions) 2008 (HMCD57) The legendary Isreali psychedelic trance act Psysex, minus one essential person. How does it sound, feel and most of all, does the magic still work? 01 Psysex - Intro 0:29 02 Psysex - Goa Human Experience 8:11 03 Psysex & Marcello V.O.R - Birth Of A Pitched Wave 9:07 04 Psysex & PTX - Hologram 9:00 05 Psysex & U-Recken - The Message 9:46 06 Psysex - Frectus 7:39 07 Psysex - Megasex 12:17 08 Psysex & Marcello V.O.R - Inertia 8:03 09 Psysex - Magnetic Heart Beat 0:36 10 Psysex - Back To Nature 8:45 11 Psysex - Tribute 5:15 (T1 – Intro) Wanna heal yourself. Is that it, is that why you came? This is the energy for you; it’s not an accident you’re here. Understand the nonlinearly of healing. That is metaphysical that it is not time dependent. Healing will be easier. Celebrate your healing. 10/10 Over the years with Psysex’ music we have always been a custom to their incredible trance driven power and their lust and love for humor and gags with touches of breakbeats in the background and fat bass lines. There was something about their mental foundation and glimpse of astral voyages which took most on a beautiful trip through the imaginaries of psychedelic System Exclusive. As time has passed and one important and beloved member has left the Psysex project to chase his own full-on progressive sound and smooth vision with the Ace Ventura moniker, DJ Goblin was left alone to give us perhaps the last album with the brand name, ‘Psysex’. Most people after Yoni left the group considered Psysex a closed chapter in the Isreali Psytrance book. But this was not to be the case as in 2008 DJ Goblin Aka Udi Sternberg decided to give it another go to create more of the delightful Psysex sounds we adore... with a twist. On this album you will find the rule breaking sounds of tracks that play with electro, progressive, house and breaks with underlying hints of GoaTrance always present. So in other words, with the help of a couple of friends like U-Recken, PTX and Marcello, Udi has made a diverse sounding album that will please old fans of the Psysex sound as well as newcomers who are looking for something special in their electronic dance music alla Psytrance genre. The album continues nicely from the healing intro into the Goa Human Experience (T2) which is playing on the psyche of who one is and where one belongs and where one comes from. It’s the everlasting question of Who-Am-Is and -where. This is a sort of break-beat oriented track with a strong electro approach, or the other way around! It’s got some delightful sprinkled synth-work that lifts the whole mood while a heavier beat based stomp interrupts so that your feet doesn’t levitate too far up in the air. The samples are sexy, curious and life questioning. 7/10 As the music continues and floats over to a different and steadier beat with again heavy electro influences, one starts to wonder if that cosmic Psysex trance drive will ever arrive. Birth of a Pitch Wave (T3) is in all its glory an interesting house based piece of a tune which has collaboration with a certain Marcello V.O.R. whom I know nothing about. But from the sounds of this track I guess he is into groovy Electro House, and I think this track with Psysex works its magic. It’s humping, sort of sexy at times and got some drum-works which develops into becoming an electro full-on number with pitching gliding in waves (though admittedly, the pitched waves becomes more irritating then enjoyable at times). 5/10 Next we have a more groove bass driven track with the help of a guy who calls himself PTX. PTX is a part of the whole Israeli full-on movement with acts like Black & White, Rocky, Onyx and Xerox & Illumination (at least according to his last album ‘Color Your Ears’ where these full-on acts are collaborating). Hologram (T4) starts out humping not going plastic full-on power at all. Instead it takes it’s time to build the groove and to let the senses catch the drift of where this hologram might fly – Colours are amazing, that’s for sure. Does this track induce vivid colours? With the help of some interesting samples the track seems steady yet a tad boring as there is little or no evolution though it does progressively build itself to embrace the rest of the album which with hope will become more trance induced and psysexerianated. 6/10 And so it seems, with the rolling end of Hologram comes a more powerful vibe with a strong sample of a man concerned about bringing you ‘this important message’. It is with the help of U-Reckon this message is delivered and the smell is a change of beats, bass and groove. Away flies the electro house grooves and in comes the steadier trance driven beats with full-on kick. The Message (T5) indicates a change in the albums flow. The bass and groove still lurks of house driven electro with some psychotic sounds running by its side. A lift is raised; a climax is built to a more or less familiar Psysex take-off. This is a track that morphs the electro house-break-beated foundation the previous tracks has provided with a more steady 4/4 bass line, which is more than welcome and a hope for an even stronger evolution in trance-drive after this track is to be cherished- A melody enters with a gratified smile, a beautiful piece with some lingering emotions carried by break-beats alla DJ Goblin. 7/10 With the Frectus (T6) comes a sound that should be recognized by most Psysex fans, it’s about Come in Peace, and from electro house vibes we are now being pulled inside a mentally grooved bass line which humps in a most sexy fashion with tingling sounds running by its path. A melody joins and it’s in the spirit of the previous track melody and sure enough, now we are beginning to feel the blast from the Psysex past with some more intense trance vibe seduction for the master blasters. Ah this is the kinetic flow I love, these grooves together with that synthetic blow is the best. Even the crowd in the background is so happy they scream and cheer for the Psysex trademark trance-flow. And the bass line ... Oh my erection it’s hard and phat! 9/10 It’s about time the album made a turn and became all Megasexy, because now after half an album filled with house electro pie; it’s a delight to get some real stompers of trance’n dance on the plate. Megasex (T7) is the longest track on the Healing album with its 12 minutes and 17 seconds. It follows hard in the previous tracks realm though the bass line is less jumpy and this time Udi has included a most appreciated synth. I donno what synth it is if it’s a 303, 604 or a 707. I have no clue, only thing I know is that it’s a classic and I love its screaming effect and strong drive. This track has a great drive and some voice samples that manage to confuse/settle things in that nice way. It’s about inner healing, and most of all, it’s about MEGAsexy megasex! 8.5/10 … After a massive blast from the trance past we are back with collaboration with this Marcello guy and this time the hump is still strong with vibrating bass lines for the ladies and killer leads for the gents. I guess this guy isn’t so electro house focused as I initially thought, or at least Udi with the track Inertia (T8) is leading the guy into more trance filled venues of strong precisions and foxy developments. It’s about going somewhere until you come to a hick’s field that keeps us going. A good track though it seems to fall into a sort of full-on ditch that I’m not overly keen on though it provides those lovely Psysex leading strings that makes the track fly in a psysexy way, which I always love and pursue. Nice healing sample with a tough follow-up dunk-a-dunk. 7/10 ( .. ) and woof your thrown into a Magnetic Heart Beat (T9 - Pause) which is a nice paused piece with, well, magnetic heart beats. 10/10 -And Back to Nature (T10) we’re thrown. After a few strong and fast phased driven tracks the beat settles in to become more relaxed and back to the electro vibe with some funny sounds and yet again, a very sexy and hard driven wobbling bass line that just shakes the house so nicely the neighbor comes in for a swing. This track is swaying from being electro driven full-on to be house pumping electromagnetic fields of radioactive power juice. Also Udi uses samples from the Mescaline driven cowboy movie; ‘Blueberry’. And it’s done in a masterful way, a pleasure to listen and experience. 8/10 As a closer we get a track named Tribute (T11). I’m not sure if his voice thing is screwing up the word Boom boom or if it’s something totally different. But this track is about the groove anyway, not so much the boom. Here we get a more funk’d-up piece with some soul indulged voice samples from a woman in awe. The beat is varied not following either trance or house drives. Biggie beats for MC’s and Yo’s alike. It’s a sort of cool track with a strange ending up in da hood. 5/10 Recommendation: So Ok, what can I say, the magic is still there, vaguely. A couple of the tracks has the energetic Psysex drive I have always loved since I first heard a track from the duo (Also thinking about their earlier project named ‘Children of the Doc’ which is hyper cosmic trance driven with pie). For fans of Psysex and DJ Goblin they should do them self a favor and get this release. It might not be as trance driven as one might have hoped for but it has its shining moments and I have to give my respect for the overall flow of the albums journey. The evolution from electro house like psychedelic trance tunes to full-on driven galactic tunes out of this sexy universe is nice and makes a lot of sense though at times I’d wish for more interstellar journeys. Also worth the mentioning in the connected healing journey throughout the album is the varies samples of a dude and a dudette speaking about life important matters. A big Up for the bass lines, some of the work put in is just immense, beautiful and roof shattering. The album art is nice enough with a faded heart surrounding large spray-can letters reading Healing with a classic Psysex logo on the lower bottom. My copy isn’t a jewelcase or a digipak. It seems to be a more cost reduced solution of cardboard which in my opinion is A-Ok because they compensated this with including not only a nice sticker, but also a DJ-slip which is highly appreciated in my book of standards. 7.5/10 (Because I gave both the intro and the pause track a 10 out of ten points) Favorite Tracks: 1 (intro), 6(!!), 7 (!), 9 (pause), 10 Where to buy and other links: DiscoSex: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Psysex PsysexHome: http://www.psysex.org HOM-Disco: http://www.discogs.com/label/HOM-Mega+Productions HOM-e: http://www.hommega.com/newsletterPromo.php Psyshop: http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/hom/hom1cd157.html Saikosounds: http://www.saikosounds.com/english/display_release.asp?id=7292 Beatport: https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/home/detail/1/beatport#app=ab19&a486-index=3 Play: http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/13703902/Healing/Product.html?searchstring=psysex&searchtype=allproducts&searchsource=0&urlrefer=search Goastore: http://www.goastore.ch/product_info.php?products_id=2323&osCsid=2abede2c631db44766531eef0d7182d4 More sexy reviews: http://www.myspace.com/psytonesmusic

'am listening to the Psysex - Healing album now and I like it a lot though like mentioned on the first page, it is lacking in that WoaW Psysex energy which I think we all used to love. It's defo not bad but I believe Ace ventura should get back on the Psychedelic System Exclusive train .. ^look, it even got a heart <3

Hoodwink – Sound Mirrors (Wild Things Records) 2010 (WILDCD012) Wild Things Records is a label known for their ability to release, well, wild things, wild sounds in a crisp and clean psychedelic vibe with loads of fun, seriousness and acid like ventures of that UK full-on sound. When I received this album I was unfamiliar with the earlier work of Hoodwink and didn’t quit know what to expect, except that it was a release on Wild Things Records which I knew had a past of releasing tight psychedelic full-on releases for the acid frantic ones. His debut album ‘Audio Illusion’ released in 2008 got a lot of cheers for its staggering psytropical content. This is his second album, and for a person like me who has never heard his debut, I am buckling up to experience the Hoodwink journey! 1 To See The Light (Intro) 1:20 2 Acoustic Anomaly 7:18 3 New Ways 2 B Evil 7:48 4 Blah Blah Blah 6:36 5 Shimmer 7:02 6 Aura 6:41 7 Cypher 6:38 8 Syncopath 7:22 9 Arythmia 7:12 10 Chemical Emotions 6:42 The intro track starts chilled like water based life forms morphing into a puddle of life and expectations. The hushed wind and gliding fluids come together to form the beat that drives the power of ‘Acoustic Anomaly’ which is the second track. From the sun one can gaze the lust and power of staggering beats, echoing effects roaming in deep space and squirting interstellar bubbles waiting to implode inside ones brain. It’s a nice and firm track leaving you inside ambient atmospheres with enough grooves to make your toes and head bounce in delight. As the third track rolls in with space like sound effects and rolling pads, you fast realize that the bass line from the previous track has had little to no changes. The tempo continues, the crisp and pleasant effects keep on pumping out and in of the speakers. Music like this deserves massive sound system to truly grasp the minor variation devoted inside all sounds, bass and moves. As the third track enters with its massive sound effects, bubbling sounds and space traveling gimmicks, I am only faced with the fact that all the bass lines seem to be identical. Granted I haven’t managed to listen to this album on a huge mottafokka stereo system yet, but from where I’m sitting and listening now it seems as if the roll of bass and kick is 98% identical on all tracks, at least so far. Ok, so in the sweet end of psychedelic trance music it isn’t really that important how the bass and kick goes because usually and always it’s about all else which is being told and projected in a track that actually matters. It’s the sounds behind the roll, the maneuver of that one bleep that makes a journey created fantastic, or shitastic. ( .. ) Sitting here, listening to this album on a mediocre sound system I can’t help to think if this music, if these sounds which has been so tightly produced by mister Hoodwink would make so much more sense and awe if I where tripping on some crystals - Because right now I’m almost feeling bored, but only almost because these sounds does have some alluring effects. Blah blah blah – I will repeat all that has been written above. I’m sorry but I know it’s nice to have an album which follows a path that has a theme a sound a recognizable pattern, but this is a tad too similar for me. I Love with a capital L the production, the effects and the knobbing skills. They sound delicious and firm. But man, the tracks are boarding very close to the edge of boredom. So far except for the intro track which is beat-less, all tracks have sounded like one long track. I know (Correction; I hope) I’m missing something very important here presented by the Hoodwinked. There’s got to be more to these tracks then what I am able to perceive at this moment. Shimmer me this, shimmer me that, who is the shimmering beat of them all? Ah, I can see it, the dude giving a friendly and sinister wink from inside the comfort of his hood. ‘Yo man, watt opp in Da hood - the fabric of life? *grind* Finally at the sixth track we seem to have a change in both content and kick/bass. This track seems heavier than the previous ones though it follows in the same venue it seems like it has gained a few pounds which makes it much more interesting (incredible what a slight change can do ..) Aura seems to be more focused on the mystique of mirror travel; the secret is to understand time. Travelling onwards we encounter the seventh track where one can dive inside and decipher the Hoodwink codes. It starts strong with some hefty water waves rushing inside your brain only to be followed by a bass line which runs faster, plays cooler and rumbles deeper then its predecessors. The metallic bending is a classic and the groove is well familiar if you’re into full-on acid chasers. Nice flow and comfortable run. As always, Hoodwinks production is near flawless, only thing missing is some deeper imagination and maybe a couple of clever melodies would be awesome. Other than that, this shit is stainless like aluminum on glorified glass walls. The number eight track tries to synchronize the path of where Sound Mirrors are leading us, the listener. The bass line has a slight faster run, the effects seems to be more hyperactive in its venture to create strange, smiling and cool vibes. Nice effort. And dude, those production skills are immense. Really fat stuff presented here, too bad it sort of gets boring unless you’re diving inside a bucket of lucid skies. After a bunch of too similar tracks with amazing production, fun filled effects and atmospheric ambience, its time (I hope) for any abnormality in the rhythm of the ‘Sound Mirrors’ heartbeat. The beat does seem to have gained a certain punch and drive to it, and the haunting vibes with metallic shimmering reflections is stronger than before. Another great track as all of the tracks are great, too bad none of them seems to be amazing, though I got to admit that the groove and flow of these ‘Sound Mirrors’ tracks are all fantastic and admirable. Finally we have reached the last track on this very much generic and standardized psychedelic full-on album by Hoodwink. I mean, no matter how cool and crisp all of these tracks has been and felt, I can’t but help to sit with a feeling of disappointment. Where’s the smart melodies at, am I so deaf here I’m sitting that I can’t catch them, because I know they are in there somewhere between bass lines and effects.. Why has the producer made 9 tracks with identical bass lines, is it so that it will be easier to make a MegaMix where one can jump from one track to another without anyone noticing? Because from my point of listening right now, I think all of these tracks sound like one gigantic track. Ok so maybe a couple of them got something extra to offer, be it some extra pressure on the bass line (like this final track) or some effects that sounds extra nifty and cool. Because granted a million times, this producer got skills and these sounds are most definitely suited best on a huge stereo system with acid frantic people dancing their naked feet off on dusty plains with patches of grass. Recommendation: Make no mistake, this is a very nice album even though it all sounds like one loooong track with different traveling aspects in effects and echo. For me the reason to come back to this album is the heaps of effects that are put into each track. It’s the realms of effects which makes this album great and eventually, interesting! - Also worth the mentioning is the album art. As all art from the Wild Things Records, there is something uber cool about them., Great art, always! I guess my last words to this release would be that it’s all done with a great execution on the effects and it’s a pleasure to be swaying inside the sounds of Hoodwink and his Sound Mirrors. I know I must be missing something here, I just don’t know what yet. Well as many great albums go, they tend to show their hidden magic after a while or after a special experience. I hope this is the case with Hoodwinks second release, Sound Mirrors.

Frost-RAVEN – Thee Olde Ones (Goa Records) 2010 (GOAREC013) Frost-RAVEN Aka. Dustin Lee Musser is a friendly and talented person located on the west coast of the United States of America. To be more precise, he’s from the beautiful and fun filled city of San Francisco. In 2008 he managed to release his second Frost-RAVEN album titled ‘Star Muse’. The album had its infected flavors with loads of progressive drive sprinkled with psychedelic stars and frosty atmospheres. The album art then was filled with light, ice and a sense of innocent hope of what the sound might induce to a listening ear, though the track titles would indicate otherwise. In my own opinion ‘Star Muse’ did its mark showcasing a person with a lot of talent for sound and drive. The landscape of which was introduced viewed more than generic full-on music for the partygoer, but tried to give more of an adventure then just you’re average and forgettable dance music with weird sounds and touches of coolness. ‘Star Muse’ released on ‘Digital Drugs Coalition’ (Which like ‘Goa Records’ is a branch of ‘Geomagnetic.TV’) went fairly unnoticed around the corners as little or no noise about its sounds where to be found from mouths and fingers of fans in the psychedelic trance world. This was in 2008. Now a couple of years later Frost-RAVEN has shed his light manifested dream vision and gone darker inside the world of fantasy, trolls, magic and infected mushrooms. 1 Thee Olde Ones 2 Warlock 3 Ectima - Feed Your Ego (Rmx - Frost-RAVEN) 4 Molly 5 Trolls 6 Merlin The Wise 7 Morgana The Wicked 8 Deka (7th Mix) 9 Seraki Mire The introduction track which is also the main title track starts eerie with some wind, monk like choruses and a steady yet rampaged progressive beat with nice echoing sources of enchanting sounds making you become ready for a trip into ‘Thee Olde Ones’. The steady beat is followed by tribal drums to make it all become more lively and fun. After the introduction of steady beats the groove gets a bump and the bass gets the strength it needs to really rock the room, making the wall vibrate in a delightful manner while playful drums follow its lead with blended effects coming and going to keep a keen ear interested and curious about how it all will progress. – As the first pause comes you’re indulged in echoing effects heavy bass like sweeps and a mood which settles in while the sample comes in to mystify the whole scenario. Again the bass line gets another bump in power and firm energy. Its rock steady as the groove trembles the mind making the foot stomp until finally the melody sways in to lift it up to another level of friskiness. As the 10 minutes long track ends the sample sort of repeats and the track ends its glory leaving you mystified about what and where the album might lead you. Sample: No they can't help you, I mean it. If...you're talking about a sarcophagus that doesn't match any thing in our records. There's nothing that's not in our records..Except what came before. The old ones." The second track named Warlock enters with a thin percussion sound which builds itself until an eerie and more or less disturbing synth comes in to make weirder electro humps and bumps of blipping and jumping sounds as the progressive groove vibes in to a field of harmonic air and stronger leads of progressive stomp. The melodic flow is staggering and snorts of evil powder making the sweaty palms clinch into a fist of grinding power. A slapstick track of little inspiration though with some effects and remixing play, it may and will show greater power than presented on the album. The third track which also follows in the progressive manner with nice float and flexible drive proves how good Frost-RAVEN is at bringing the psychedelic vibe into his progressive drive. This is originally a track produced by Ectima which is a psychedelic progressive producer with full-on influences. I’m not familiar with the original but as always I do like the approach Frost-RAVEN puts on his art. I like the motion and drive, the effects and the storytelling and especially the power he at times unleashes on his bass lines, which I promise, has an amazing drive at times. This track almost slag itself with a sample saying; ‘Listen to my words, this is an experiment. Double gated, high and dry. Progressive? Yeah,right!’ Welcome … I’m working a new word’ Not totally sure what the voice say all the way through the sample or what he means. The drive is more a crossover between electro and progressive. Again the sample is trying to communicate some words which I’m not fully capable of understanding. I mean the words them self and their deeper meaning if you will, I guess I might encounter a day when they will fit and make sense in some kind of bizarre scenario. It’s a nice track with a pleasant flow yet I got to say it’s also one of the more boring ones. Anyway, as long as you don’t go overboard and become an ego monster, it’s both nice and important to feed your ego, to acknowledge that you are doing a good job; and Dustin, you are doing some great work on your musical art, I can confirm that. With Molly things are picking up, the tempo is being raised and the flow is floating firmer and more exiting then before. Gone are the dull progressive drives and in come the faster phased beats and lingering effects which follow the stream of Molly-glow. The track contains your echoing sounds; beat manifested drives which may change direction to make it more fun and a story of power and lust that is fundamental for Frost-RAVEN’S musical style. I’m not sure if this track (Molly) is dedicated to a girl in Dustin’s life or if it’s about a fish he or someone has in an aquarium, but that doesn’t really matter as this is a flying track which has an up-tempo drive with hints of infected twists and mushroom like glow. For me one of the absolute highlighters of the album must be the bastard track named ‘Trolls’. Its fast, it’s furious and it’s wicked. It has a fast phased tempo of 150 BPM and the drive tells us that this is something to be aware of. When the climax settles in you can’t help but to wave some arms around and play along with the affectedness of the story being told by a person diving deep inside the world of fairytales and mushrooms. What makes this track a personal favorite is the sample taken from a 7 hour long Hallmark movie named ‘The 10th Kingdom’. For fans of Infected Mushroom and their track ‘Roll Us a Giant’ will quickly recognize the troll’s voices where they have captured the princess. ‘She’s a captive of the merciless trolls now. Merciless! Without mercy, he he - This could be a long torture session. Rush a torture ruin a torture’. One can have a lot of fun affecting this sample. As the track continues though I feel it lacks something to keep the momentum up. Instead it has more of the slamming doors effect and melodic clinging. The tempo seems a tad too fast for its own good, it’s like the track is struggling with giving us a slamming ending to an otherwise slamming track. Next is maybe one of the absolute strongest and twisted tracks on the album as we continue in the infected land of fairytales, magic and might. This track has a theme based around Merlin and his apprentice. The bass line is orgasmic, the strings floating around are lush and beautiful, the effects are to make their scenario interesting and the build to the main sample of Merlin is magic. It contains a lot of truth as there are many who seem to only have mastered the art of rattling snakeskin and other scare tactics. This is yet another strong track that in the right circumstances and with some knobbing effect making will make inner magic glow. The weirdness which floats around and especially the weirdness of effects that come after each spoken sample is nothing but pure awe. It’s powerful, magical, evil and with glimpse of snarling smiles with blinking eyes. Frost-RAVEN, you are worthy and you seem more than ready. Morgana the Wicked comes in with more samples of an angry and powerful woman telling someone off. A Morgana is someone who is mysterious with stunning good looks who may be a dark angel who is highly creative within music and art. This is yet another very seductive, beautiful and strong track. The drive and magic which comes after the second sample blows me away as it floats in angelic ways with some evil strength for the mesmerized ones. Powerful tune with some wild and trippy bubbling sounds in the background, and the samples is strange enough - sometimes in another language and some lines in plain English. All in all it’s a very delightful track with all its shimmers and scrumptious wraps and echoing choruses. After three strong and adventures tracks from the more darkened land of fairytales and magic, we again enter a tune focusing more on the travel and swaying effect. Gone are the fairytale samples and in comes the storytelling in semi-melodic scenarios and powerful electro breaks. I have no idea of what ‘Deka’ actually means or refers to, but I think it has something to do with the metrical system (?) This is the 7th Mix, or so the info reads. However on the physical album cover it only reads ‘Deka’. It’s a beautiful electro journey filled with layered melodies from a Goadelic era with some harder electro interruptions which staggers the track so it doesn’t fly in loose air. At 03:17 the sounds used actually reminds me of the Infected tune ‘Intelligate’. But hey, in my ears a lot of the synthwork, approaches and fairytale like adventures presented on this album remind me of infected vibes. As a closer to an adventures and darkened trolled album we get a down-tempo track in the range of 150BPM. The sample used is about some space crusaders who have found a fertile land which they will, well, call ‘This Land’. It’s a humored sample with some alien trolls who interrupts the man who has found the land and wants him to call it his grave. I think the sample is from a TV series based on Serenity or something, not sure. The track itself is Ok with some interesting sounds and rolls. Recommendation: Now this is a strange album me thinks. On one side it got all of these powers and fantasy, it has loads of phat bass lines and infected synths which really bend the mushroom view. Objectively I think this is a powerful album with some strength not always apparent. Some of the tracks played at the right circumstances with maybe a touch of FX and manipulation will showcase strong Goa flows and hyper cool twists and turns. For me the best tracks are the ones with the samples (Except Molly which is hyper Omg infect me cool) though the samples used aren’t always suited to be played in any DJ-set or at certain times. Then again, sometimes they fit perfect. It’s a very dark and gloomy album, maybe not in that proper dark and gloomy fashion, but absolutely in the fantasyland of an almost negative and sorrowed place with furious and raging beats running on a path of inner love and light. The cover design is dark, dirty and hard to understand. What is it, is it a rusty metallic plum welded on an iron wall? The track names all have these darkened themes around them while the sounds presented are at times beautiful, strong, fun and really cool! I adore most of the drive and as mentioned, the bass line when it puts on its power is mesmerizing boarding to stunning. Thee Olde Ones .. What will Frost-RAVEN’s next album sound like? I am eager to listen, because this guy has immense skills to admire and follow. PS. Frost-RAVEN also released a free to download experimental downbeat album named 'Deep in Blue'.

There is a dream inside a dream, I´m wide awake the more I sleep - Marilyn Manson Man, I am eager to watch this movie soon. I have shut my ears and eyes to all commercials about it, and didn´t read much of this thread. I did however read glims of comments like Not Dreamlike, dissepointed. Now that makes me feel sad, I was hoping for some uber dreamy stuff .. still eager to watch it though !!!!

first time i saw it I was half asleep, stoned out on hashish and didn´t like it much, thoought it was boring plus I watched some of it with eyes closed .. Second time I saw it I snorted a not to long but long enough liner of Ketamin (jeje, what you gonna do, judge me?) and was blown away. It´s pretty much a very intelligent movie that drags the viewer into the world of the nutter (Leonardo). So funny to see him with his too large detective jacket seeing him loose it not knowing where he stands and the scene with the lady in the cave, some of those moments, wooaw, really intense mind stuff when viewed with brain. I´d give it a 8.5/10, which is good, right? Ok maybe 9, but thats because of the Ket ... sad to see him slipping away, actually, it´s very sad to see anyone or even yourself slip away. Good movie in all angles (directed, actors, script .. )

psytones replied to pr0fane's topic in General Psytrance
hrm .. Alien Jesus .. E´nuff said I think. Haven´t checked the music so I guess I should keep my mouth shut even though it is my opinion. Want good music (imo) with same directed name? Check out Alienated Buddha Peace and Love
