  1. Why not review it in the reviews? Do it, these subforums are here for that.
  2. REALLY, please make an effort to elaborate on your topics. Any human being (not only you) should be able to understand what you mean and why you mean that.
  3. One week simorq... One week Redington... Help the poor guy for God's sake! Pandemonium: this is probably a press issue. Nothign to do with psyshop's work. The cd was shrink wrapped when you go it, right ? So, contact Psyshop first, and if they don't answer, contact Ultimae, maybe one of them can be kind.
  4. PLEASE post things that can be understood by the average human being. At first I thought you're talkig about Dimension5, but you're mentioning albums from 2000, so that must be something else. And what is that meeting you're talking about ? Presented like this, you're delivering garbage. You're posting dozens of posts a week here, so just decrease the number and you can spend more time on individual posts. Elaborate now please.
  5. Here it is, welcome to AFGIN with the album "ASTRAL EXPERIENCE" !! Link to the extracts: http://www.suntriprecords.com/release/cat/SUNCD15/ 2 Years after the release of his, now famous, promo “Old is Gold”, Elad Afgin is finally here with his high acclaimed debut album. Influenced by the sunrises on the numerous parties where Elad played, this album is a tribute to the real Goa-trance masters from the mid-90’s. Back to the Future!
  6. It's not that simple. There are cases of artists very good at music that have an horrible taste (as it is commonly acknowledged) when it comes to visual artwork. But, from my experience, not so many artists know exactly what they want for their cover and they need help. Thus the label should be blamed for a bad cover (most of the time).
  7. Said differently, it can be taken as an exclusion criteria: for example, if a cover shows zombies and bats all over the way, I know it's going to be dark music, and I skip.
  8. Closing thread, after deleting all the bullshit. Pay attention bwale. FYI I'm not married stricto-sensu. 2 minutes of culture now: In France, we have this contract called "PACS" which enables 2 persons (no matter what is their sex, and as long as they're from different families) to be tied to each other just like in marriage. Initially, this was meant to be something like the "gay marriage", because although it's not illegal to be gay in France, gays can't marry yet. This was a "workaround" for it, while not upsetting some people (electors should I say) with prejudice, or who are more into religion. Eventually, etherosexual PACSed people can marry afterwards if they want to, which won't change much to their lives unless they choose to modify the "terms of the contract". Anyway, many etherosexual couples also did it for one reason or another (no ceremony, cheaper, no big party with the annoying family etc). That's my case.
  9. As for us, you have several means: http://www.suntriprecords.com/promo/ ftp.suntriprecords.com with "upload" as login and papssword our postal address in Lier, Belgium (check inlays of our cds) sendspace, megaupload, etc...
  10. I am simply not sure they manage to finish the album on the one hand, and find a label to release it on the other hand.
  11. I think they may have a problem of "integration" in nowaday's psytrance world, and maybe a problem of "creative process" which take more time. Those who know me will undertsand what I mean.
  12. Merging with topic 55582; and psytones, you get one week for spending time writing nonsense on the general. Everyone else go there: http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=1261
  13. Maybe elaborate a bit mister psytones ? It's no Twitter here. First the right link is here: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Andromeda+(4) There was http://www.andromeda-music.net before, but it seems it's gone. He's been playing as Chromosome and as Andromeda a lot and released one Chromosome album a few months ago. I thought an Andromeda one would follow, but it didn't. I heard the guy had troubles during Universo Parallelo 9 and maybe that didn't help. Check this too: http://www.dreamvisionmedia.net/artists.html
  14. I'm doing exactly the same and I buy all I like. I have 700+ cds, so this receipe works.
  15. I have an iPod Touch, first version. Before, I had an iRiver H10. I must say the H10 had a better sound quality, and didn't need that crappy iTunes library. The Touch is fine though when you put the "Electronic" sound setting. As for the headphones, I used to have some Koss, but frankly the sound quality decreased a lot over the years. So I just switched to Philips SHE9700. They are intra-auricular, so they isolate you well from colleagues and beggars in the metro. They don't have this huge bass you have usually with this kind of headphones that makes psytrance so compressed it hurts your ears. Check them here: http://www.lesnumeriques.com/article-531.html
  16. My message began with: which means I read...obviously.
  17. All, After reading this announcement, http://forums.invisionpower.com/topic/2829...entry1794928%22 I applied the patch. I hope there will be less spamming shit on the forums. mars.
  18. I like such tracklists The Dreams in Motion track by Afgin is absolutely magnificient. It will also be on the Afgin's album we're releasing in one month. http://tinyurl.com/ccc5wt And Radical Distortion have improved their skills enormously in the past months.
  19. Daily Ads Revenue $27.73 ...That must be a joke We earn around $1.50 / day out of ads !!
  20. Yes, http://www.suntriprecords.com/release/cat/SUNCD10/ But they are not exposing themselves extensively, that's all. Personnally I hope they produce more music this year...
  21. Let's put the label management aside for a couple of minutes. As you may guess, I've been listening this album for a long time already so I know the effects of time on this album. Well, I'm positively surprised to see that I enjoy listening to all the tracks after hundreds of listens,and that I dig some of the tracks better than in the begining !! As a listener, I just couldn't agree more with Jon's review. This is exactly what I think about this album. Filtertraces (2007) is a pure jewel. There were many versions of this one...Jannis kept refining it, and by november 2007, he gave me this remix and I was blown away. I've know this track for 1.5 year and still it gives me goosebumps everytime. The 5.38 break&enter is a real slap in the face, and the ending is just one of the best psytrance moments ever. If you listen to it when tired or after a nice evening with friends, you will feel like crying. Try it on a mountain or on the beach, and die! I think it's one of the best Goa tracks (yes, ever). The Big Blue (mid-2008) is one of these tracks that drive you far away, that you like, and yet you rediscover when played live. It has so much energy, so much surprises. It's pleiadianesque, but has these twirling masterful melodies, these breaks and melodies that go after each other. Man, listen to it open air, and experience the hurricane! Wormhole went through a lot of work, I know, and I didn't like much the first versions. When I heard this album version, I thought it was a good rollercoaster...I was wrong, this one grows on you with all its influences, it takes you aback even after 15 listens. That's a smart trap and it's not good, it's great!! Eyeless Observatory (early 2007) is the acidic monster that reminds yoou that Filteria is just a great musician. If you think about it, this track is a whole buildup, and still, you're never bored with it. It has so many details and the instruments are so wicked that you just wanna hear it again and again !! I suspect this one has a strong live-remix potential. In the Heaven's Eye (end 2008)....ah well...how to describe this odyssey of sounds and emotions? Just plug your headphones, click play, clsoe your eyes, you already see the sky. That's an anthem of a track and once again evidence Filteria has probably no limits in his sound exploration. Infinite Regression has great moments, but also has older Filteria influences, somehow, so it's particular. Some will love it, some won't. Earthrise (early 2009). Actually this one replaced another track at the last moment for the best of everyone in my opinion. This is just a killer tune. Like a Hallucinogen vs Hux Flux back to back in the begining, then it grows crazier and crazier! Everytime you think it can't do more, another break comes and you wanna roll on the floor. I'm sure that if Hallucinogen, Pleiadians, and Miranda had made music alltogether it would sound like this. Oh and the bass, THAT bass. It makes me shiver. The part at 5.30 is one of the craziest goa moments ever. Imo Filtertraces is just a little better than this one, but Earthrise will remain in momories [Jannis, I know you read me, please live-mix it]. Float Away & Disappear (? 2008) is one of these tracks with lots of fx and chopped voices (a bit like the Shpongle tune in the Crystal skulls) . Very professional, and it gives fulfilment in this album, as it kinda closes a loop. When it starts kicking, it sounds a bit like Entheogenic, but with this typical mystical Filteria touch...melodies go on top of each other and that makes a real looping-in-the-air feeling. Little story: this track replaced Back to Earth on the album late last year as it turned out ot be better...but Jannis finally rerecorded B2E for Sundrops which made it a lovely track in the end too Recently I relistened to Sky Input. Really great work, but so far away from "Daze". Heliopolis had already started a new approach, but Daze of Our Lives is truly professional work. It's not "dance, trance, and heal your knees tomorrow"; it's emotional material, you can feel the number of hours refining every second of it, to trigger your feelings further. And on top of it the production is SO good! You know, there are albums and tracks you never forget. Twisted, Trust In Trance, Phototropic, Violent Relaxation, Multimoods, IFO, Moment of Truth............and Daze of Our Lives.
