Some old Infected Mushroom tracks. Funny to hear their unreleased oldies. You kind of see where the experimentation leads to the Gathering album like in Dream Theater Old Mix, MTV etc.

There is no 'Time & Trap EP' ?

Totally agree, and it's such a cool and clever remix of Infected Mushroom's Over Mode Love the drill part, ahha :posford:

I love this album- Don't want to go in depth about it now but did you guys know, The Wizard Demo contains sounds/sample from Marilyn Manson -

Oh oh - I know!! Grapes Of Wrath & Meteloids - Tits On Fire Question: Name one album where Alex Grey has done the artwork except the Sandman - Whichcraft artwork And remember, stay on topic so no Tool suggestions.

Very sweet information Kaal :) I asked and got an answer to it's meaning when I travelled India but quickly forgot it So this is cool! Anyway, when I sing it to my self it always sounds like 'Shiva Shawarma'

a-haha, cool info on the Subaru My middle name is Dove .. Or pigeon, as in Norwegian, 'Due' is the name for them both. So hello, my name is *Name* Due *Surname*

^Does it stink(?), get it, feet .'

^One of the few psytrance albums with Alex Grey art Classic stuff

So why do Pleiadians use the Subaru logo? Because of the stars I presum, and maybe some sentimental values to the car ?

Whats the matter bwhale, did you wake up with three dicks in your mouth this morning?

^so beautiful in art np.

Therefore you are not -

YES PLEASE!! * Hi frix, I really like your work, good choice of colours. But I would suggest you make the center diffrently, let it fade more. The CPC album is very beautiful, and as one can see it has an eye on it hidden in the background, and also it has many different variations in waves, not only like frix above made So here is my question to the ones owning the original album, how is it made, is it with that rough texture thing where you can change angel and a different pattern emerges, or what?

Ok, then I think you should listen to Psykovsky - Compos Mentis

Free the mushies so people will make more strange mosakk!! Yamabikay is Japanese, these days he (one former member) makes pretty decent techno house stuff. I used to think that Japanese artists would be freaky people making more experimental music allà Suomi/Oozie (hence my love towards Yamabikaya). But I was dissepointed as I didn't find many sounds that was like my fantasy about Japanese music. Later when I started to enjoy darker elements like the sounds from Russia, I discovered this album, and it's really good. So, I got nothing to add to this thread, just wanted to mention this.

Oh MAN, thats one of the most awesome album artworks I've seen, and from this day on I have to agree with Oopie on 'want to listen'.

Yes, I would recomend Infected Mushroom - Nothing Comes Easy, Small Moves and Intelligate. :posford:

Ooh man, yesterday I recieved a beautiful looking gift from Lost Theory Records! It really made me smile, because it felt like the real thing. Beautiful colours and the music inside sounds wicked!! I haven't really heard it yet but the cover art alone made me feel very positive. Tell me this is not beautiful, eh ps. Last track by Furious is stomping at 178 BPM lol *album includes names like Alien Mental, Zik, Scope, Makadam to mention some.. ..

So I was just curious for the fun of it. Why isn't my nick sprayed in Orange like Traveller, Lemmiwinks, Insejn etc. What does one have to do to get this ultimate pie honor? Have 20 000 posts? *insert something something*

^Thats fairly fair indeed nothing to fear. So, I'm very curious about bwhale liking my drone suggestion or not.

Can't drop an example, but when there is different versions of an album, the track lenghts might varie, so ..

I got to mention that this album was released in March, and the Chaos Opera album was released in May. But still ... .. I would also like to mention that although I've compared this and PoF's Chaos Opera album a lot in my review, it should be mentioned that the overall sound image is extremely similar (track 4 to 9). What separates them is the fact that the Chaos Opera album has more classical elements in it, different and maybe more emotional leads, a story feel and more of a full-packed and busy sound image. While this Skulls & Bones album has a more open space to its tracks with a steadier techno vibe going on in its Full-On realm. Also according to my knowledge, Skulls & Bones is a collection of single tracks that were supposed to be scattered on compilations here and there but went into one album to form Skulls & Bones instead.

So here we go, another album promising full power without a shower that’s supposed to be sleek and pretty damn naughty. The artwork done by Meskalart is Skulls & Bones in front of some kind of mechanical device of propulsion, sort of animalistic in rawness that I guess suits the music inside. Wilfried, the musical artist behind Phonic Request was born in France in the year 1977. As a teenager his love of Rock’n’Roll rapidly led him to play the guitar. He trained day and night and his hard work began to pay off as his skills grew. He then ventured out to play in an Acid-Jazz band which played with the other side of sound but music. In his own research of novelty, he put aside the guitar and started to tweak sounds on computers and came to the conclusion that he wanted to produce Electronic music instead of plinging the guitar. He has now been composing trance oriented tracks since the year 2004, so now in 2009 an experienced composer by the name Wilfried Decaesteker is more than ready to show us the extent of his talents in sonic alchemy by delivering his second album Skulls & Bones, which is released on the Portuguese based label Hypergate Records. Phonic Request, as his project has been named, constantly chases the hard pumping effects and wild side of the psychedelic dance floor. Phonic Request – Skulls & Bones (Hypergate Records) 2009 (HGRCD005) 1. Phonic Request - Organic Function (6:33) 2. Phonic Request - Broken Machine (7:17) 3. Phonic Request - Strange Ghost (6:46) 4. Phonic Request - Crach Bug (Remix) (7:10) 5. Phonic Request Feat. Principles Of Flight - Skulls & Bones (9:50) 6. Phonic Request - Stress (7:28) 7. Phonic Request Feat. Jaws Underground - Inside You (6:48) 8. Phonic Request - Mentally Disturbed (6:50) 9. Phonic Request Feat. Electrocult - What Do You Want (8:06) After playing his album a few times I have a feeling of stress and conferment. The first three tracks all have this ultra fast chainsaw effect thing that runs through the tracks producing these scratching annoyances. They all got a super sweet production on their good measure side and the sound effects sounds as crystal clear as one would expect out of a full powered Full-On dance floor album anno 2009. The best tracks in my opinion are the ones that seem to have more of a story to them, the ones that offer interesting ideas and evolution in sound. And this is where my conspiracy theories get their wonk on - the album title is Skulls & Bones after all, so why not conspire to conspire a little. So what I know is that Phonic Request cooperated with Principle of Flight on their debut album Night Time Lullabies, I know they’re probably very good friends that hang out in the studio smoking grass and tweaking noises together. Hell, I’m even sure they listen to each other’s raw materials for inputs and ideas! And of course, I know perfectly well that Principle of Flight joined forces with Phonic Request on this very album. Actually, they joined forces on two tracks, the fourth and fifth as Crash Bug (Remix) and the title track are tracks credited to them both. So here goes, either Wilfried aka Phonic Request is Principle of Flight, or he’s copying them, or maybe vice versa for all I know. I mean, every single track starting at number 4 and ending at number 9 bear strong resemblances to Principle of Flight’s latest album Chaos Opera, which makes it sound like a rip-off, with the exception of the seventh track that only has some miner indications of plagiarism. And this is sort of curious since the only indication of originality in Skulls & Bones then stand from their usage of fucked-up Chemical Crew E-Tard chainsaw scratches in the very first three tracks, which turns out, is not so original after all. So what’s good about the album then? Well the production is top notch, that’s for sure. And the mastering that’s been done by Johannes Regnier aka Silicon Sound is crystal clear down to the crome surface of a skeletal core. The effects used have some impressive turns and tweaks to bend your sanity, but it sort of feels like they have no purpose except to mess up your mind and sound stressfully cool on a packed dance floor. Ok, so maybe I got this all wrong, but nonetheless it’s my distinct impression about the album and I did hear the Chaos Opera album first and it’s better, much better. Speaking of Chaos Opera, the fifth track (together with Principle of Flight) sounds likes a piece that was supposed to be included on the Chaos Opera album but unfortunately didn’t make the cut. So Phonic Request decided to put it on his own album instead, and since it was the best input on the album he also decided to make the following tracks sound like its’ crunching landscape. All in all, this is an album with a fuck-you vibe that drives a full throttle, which in my personal opinion stresses more then it pleases a sinister grind.
