A few years ago we stepped in a youth hostel recommended by our tourist guide, in Wellington, New Zealand. There was a thin guy in dreadlocks at the reception and some 145-bpm fullonish Oforia track playing really loud! With a smile I asked the guy whether he was Belgian or Dutch...he was Dutch.

Try the music from the group K90 maybe ?

Exactly. 18+ years into Psytrance, and counting.

Equator was supposed to be the Sonic Safari album, yet another side-project of the 4 italians (check the lineup of SA2000). The Fluorophilipa album not being releasd, that seemed to be some kind of fallback to release it under the Etnica name.

Totally my thought. It's like LSD without taking LSD! But there's very good so-called NeoGoa albums too.

Maurizio used to be skilled and is still to some extent I hear, but without Carlo and Andrea, the Etnica/Pleiadians projects will never be the same again. For example, Carlo took a BIG part into the making of IFO. Since 1999 - for the past 15 years mind you- you cannot expect a Goa album from Etnica/Pleiadians. Forget it. Game over. There's still relief in the fact Aurizio accepts to do oldschool performances once in a while, that's all you'll be able to get in 2014.

Do you have "Analog Reflections 1", then???

Excellent!

Because it was not advertised and it's WEB only.

No. Happend a couple of times in festivals, but overall it's better without.

ahaha me too!

I love!

...and a huge typo. http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/irregular-verbs/cut.html I really can't stand that.

I'm part of the MR team. Probably a number of guys from the team kept an extra copy "just in case" but most gave them away or sold the copies they got. I did, and I have one left: mine. There's also the copies sent to the artists. So overall I think 100 CDs were kept away and >500 copies ended up on the market. For such a release, 600 copies was a good idea at the time. With CD sales plummeting and the fact we wanted to give some money to the charity instead of losing some, we couldn't take many risks. But then the release sold out in a few days, which surprised us all. It's always easier to assess a situation afterwards than beforehand. MR2 got pressed a thousand copies and MR3 will probably too, meaning we learned from our mistakes. Some guys in the team want to repress MR1, it's still under discussion. I'm not sure the booklet will be as thick, or the case be the same, or whether there will be a special note somewhere or not. So it may be possible to tell which batch is a given copy. That's what we do at Suntrip for instance, we always change the artwork a very little bit, and update copyright dates too, before repressing. Wait and see...

Well said Earwall and Acid Brain! Well, back in 2002, when FullOn surfaced, I was coming from the Goa times, where, indeed there were no rules and crazy buildups and melodies. I thought FullOn was way too empty.You know, that typical structure: boom boom 3minutes, uplifting break 1 minute, boom boom 3 minutes. No surpises, no dreams, only pure energy. It was sometimes pleasant for a short while at the end of a party of in a festival afternoon, but I went to some parties where it was 12 hours in a row in a crowded place! And it lasted until 2011 or so. Almost 10 years of FullOn, and it was only getting worse: ultrastereotyped stucture, the fattest kick+bass possible, and even some lyrics. Only a few artists managed, in my opinion, to tell a story in their tracks: Xerox & Illumination, Optokopler, The Misted Muppet, Silicon Sound, Sulima, and to some extent Chemical Drive and CPU... all the rest was the same receipe over and over again. Imo the worst was Eskimo, the Everest of what Acid Brain describes! Now I can understand that someone with a different music background may like it.

Very likely.
