I have 3 examples without even searching. Logic Bomb copied a demoscene music from the demo "Extension" by "Pygmy Projects", written originally by "Jester" in their track "Extension". Rinkadink copied the music of the Speedball 2 videogame in its track "Marauder" And the very best is...XNoise with "Anjuna Beach" which rips badly "As a Child I Could Walk on the Ceiling" by "The delta" Well, one last example: take 2 tracks from Alien Project. The guy does maanage to copy himself too !!!!

Too bad the content is lost. IT would have been useful to many.

IFO was my favourite for a long long time. I used to listen to it once a week without skipping any track. Now it sounds older somewhat but it's still one of my favourites. I still remember back in july 97 when I went to my local shop and put the diamond on the LP. After 10 seconds of Maia it was a breakthrough ! It was released when Goa was really expanding to its best, it's to be seen in its context. Artists were all competing to blow our minds. But I can understand if someone that wasn't (or even was) in the scene by summer 97 could not be touched by it. It's rather extreme after all: no sample, very raw and fast, super synthetic, going in all directions at the same time, taking you from the rear sometimes... However to me, past the shape, the psychedelic content is one of the best ever delivered, together with Hallucinogen's Twisted and a couple of others. On top of that, I hate talking about drugs, but I admit that if you hear it under psychedelics, you will rediscover it a million times under a million suns and your life will change forever.

Pleiadians - Electra

I agree this one is marvellous. It took me a long time to understand Cause and Effect, but I like it very much. However, EP & compil tracks released before are all killers.

The first time I saw Infected Mushroom in Paris back in 1999, I had one of the best parties in my life, they blew the dancefloor awayand caused so much damage and heat that the bouncers had to open the safety doors to let some steam out ! That summer, their tracks were played everywhere, I mean....everywhere...Marvellous times. Then I saw them 4 times in 2000-2001, twice in Paris, twice in London and it was good, yes burt each time a little less good than the previous time. DJs were keen on playing their tracks still...but not since as far as i know. Then I saw them in the FullMoon festival in 2006. That was a disaster. I hadn't bought any Infected release after BPEmpire, and it reminded me why. What a shame...the same as you felt, Mr. thorn726. What a shame Erez wastes his youth making such shitty music with lousy co-workers. I mean...if what IM does can be considered as electro-pop, it must be cool. Which means it's the good type of music for the wrong crowd...or the contrary, who knows ? And I can also perfectly understand it's more lucrative and easy to make this kind of music for a broader audience, than top-notch uplifting psytrance. However, if the guy would make (real) Psytrance again, it would make me the happiest guy. Else, my advice is to use his skills into something really bigger, like movie soundtacks for example, or even different kinds of music, with real singers and a real band, I mean. Erez, please, if you read me, make us dance, or make another crowd dance, but stop this masquerade...thanks.

Filteria is playing at Aurora in Greece this year, this is 100% oldschool. And Hallucinogen, Pleiadians, and a bunch off others as well, and they usually play rather melodic

Well, I've seen them twice....and if you loved their old days, then you don't wanna see that.

As a reminder, we do accept orders for our own cds héhéhé http://www.suntriprecords.com/pages/releases.php 10 euro each (more for Opus though) + shipping costs. We accept paypal and bank transfer payments.

I checked, it's not. Oh shit, I have it in my collection, I just can't remember in which CD !!!

"Total Sickness - The Flight of the Green Hornet" sounds really like some sneaky circus stuff !

This is not Intelligate, this is much more recent. I have the track at home but can't put a name on it. I'll search...might take some time

We've had several tracks identification requests here in the past weeks. Let me remind that there is a specific forum for this: http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?showforum=4 Can't you just ask your friend ? Other than that, was is a fullon track ? dark ? goa ? etc ? any specific instruments (guitar, etc) ? approx bpm count ? Any other track you recognized on the same cd ? In other words, we need details.

Might be a good idea. I can foresee a scenario where producers can promote themselves and labels can dig them. Perfect. Would you extend that to other styles of music than only technomusic ? If so, then the service might reach more "trendy" styles, and I'd find it shameful to help labels making even more money, just for free. Maybe a subscription based on, the company size or something...it makes me think about what Monster does with CVs. Else, Any idea of further functionalities ? Would there be some search engine ? affiliating ? RSS threading ? etc ? Would there be any quotas or limit mechanism (to prevent one from downloading day and night ?) How could you prevent misuse/abuse ? Would there be any financing of it (ads) ? What would make it more attactive than MySpace (where the author can also have its own presentation page, and established artists can be there too) ? From my point of view this is not so hard to acheive some "sendspace" functional area, although it's not obviouos either because of the throughput/scalability you need. You also need a database, to setup a lot of diskspace/redundancy/distributed computing functionalities, a web interfacee, an admin interface with moderation and stuff (just like with forums). Technically, for setting up a scalable stack like this for free, you have to check JEE technologies (and not do the same mistakes as Twitter). The UI can be either only HTML/Ajax (like Google applications), which make it easier to index content but are less fancy, or Flash based (Adobe Flex), much more fancy, but much less indexable.

Taken care of...

Read, he doesn't want rips, he wants extracts in order to know whether to buy the compil or not.

Hello Interviews are online now: www.suntriprecords.com

I found this lineup quite poor. Imo this is the kind of lineup that looks interesting at first sight, you tell yourself "oh I love this one, Ii'll go". ...Months pass... When arriving at the festival place, you receive a paper with the full lineup, and there, you wonder "why did I travel that much to see 4 artists over 100 ?"

Sorry if it souns rude to the artist if he reads it. I repect the movement, I've been supporting it for 12 years. I even relistened to "Digital Stimulant" a few days ago, because I like it very much, but ok we're just discussing about marketing here. I'm sure I will have problems with this one....anyway let's go. ...wow... The lest we can say is that H2O knows how to praise! I know this is just marketing, I do this kind of stuff also when I write sales sheets, but HERE, there's no way a Microsoft marketing executive could sell this cd better. Would I be a newcomer in the scene, I'd believe Quadra is THE Mozart of Techno music, all styles put together ! I thought this was Astrix... Now, I listened to the album. Let's face it: This is just plain full-on. Sterotyped to the extreme, 145-bpm-all-along, with all the known basslines, effects, breaks, vocoded lyrics and eurodance bass tone changes we've been delivered for 7 years now ! Innovating ? Come on, be serious. Brillant ? The shapes on the cover are, indeed. Capitvating ? Just boring. Mature ? After 2 full-on Quadra albums and the Save the Robot one, delivering a non-mature full-on album would be a shame. Focused ? Yeah, sure, on 145 bpm. I know this is bad advertisement for this album, but you'll notice I haven't revewed it. FullOn lovers will probably appreciate. My point was about how H2O is trying to sell something that is more copy/paste than music, with just a pocketful of appealing words. Oh, but there is worse. This thread was meant to be written with that one in the first place, until I just felt pity for the artist and made it a more general critic. Hang on: I wil pass over the avalanche of superlatives. There mus be a school for writing this, there's no other way. "Unique artistic creativity" ? I'd rather say "Unique abyss of lack of creativity" !! What we have here (on the soundsystem, past the sales sheet), is a first cd full of flat fullon remixes of existing tracks. In my opinion it's boring to d.e.a.t.h. And they say it "emphasizes Tamir Ozana's and Yair Bar-On's multi-talent, who takes great tracks to the next level and moulds them to their ultimate potential of Excellency" ? What would have it been with non-great tracks... Look look look, there is also half another cd of 4 times the same track remixed by different artists! It was probably too hard for more artists to remix a fullon track into another fullon track, so the remaining of the 2nd cd had to be filled wih a lousy 4-minute video of guess-what-track. You gotta have skipped listening to the release to be able to write such a sales speech. No, come on, this masquerade has to stop. FullOn is now just like Hollywood movies. The most advertisements on busses and panels, the biggest the budget and names, the worst at the movie theatre.

Please man, this kind of open letter is all right, but a decent review in the 2008 forum would be appreciable.

Please someone, submit a review in the 2008 forum !!

Indeed. I had the opportunity to browse through some Dsitrance backstock a couple of years ago and the boxes were separate. but that's right they aimed first at being release din a box. Anyway what's written here is right, at the time the compilation was originally released, the cover was the buddha one, then for the boxset release, the covers of the first 3 Distrance to Goa were "unified" into these circles...

I listened to it. It deserves a proper review imo. This album is some very "classic" progressive but the groove is here and the sounds are warm & enjoyable. It can be listened to as a whole, there are no fillers imo, and the result is damn professional And I bought it

Lots of tracks gave me wonderful trips, without drugs I mean. but... Pleiadians - Taygeta play...[05:09]...T.R.I.P I will never forget what it once did to me. Never. Never...
