I like the way you write english. Looks like my signature

You don't have to write lies and free sarcasms. Thanks.

Mister gumballs, you are saying lots of things here. In these things I don't recognize at all the way we are running Suntrip, working with our artists, or interacting with Psynews... I won't even answer your bullshit, i'm pityfull about you and your anger. I also believe you know a lot and write a lot about us for a 25-posts member. Do we know each other ? I believe so, and you're just too much of a coward to write under your own name. Get lost.

Hi, I have set up for you a teaser of the reissue where you can check the new mastering ! Dimension5 1996-2007 Back to Back !!!

Great work Moni ! To Drosphilia: fact is people on Psynews are more oldschoolers than fulloners, that's part of the answer. About that, I'd like to thank all Psynewsers for voting for our artists and our label. This is a great reward, this gives us much energy to continue !!! We have a few thingies in store for you guys before the end of the year, you'll see

I.M.O if you wanna fight, you don't stay on the General forum, neither on the OffTopic. why not using PMs... But IMO, refrain from doing that here.

Great you do such things too (better one in Cyrillic for you guys though) About the forum, the exact same forum is now running over a Linux OS instead of Windows.

Where ? When ? I'm loosing my mind If I forgot it, really...

You read it well, I'm about to launch a part of Psynews3 : the parties planner. At the moment, pages are all white & black and I need a designer for some NICE CSSes. There are 3 pages : the party editor, the party search and the party viewer. No big deal...except the pages are JSPX and I need someone who's more or less familiar with that. Who's up to that ? Thanks to answer on mars [at] psynews [dot] org

Here's mine in alphabetical order, albums in the first 2 ones, then compilations, then ambient, vinyls, and misc in the last one :

About KoB i might add that Jannis looked for another style for quite a long time. The first tracks were clearly acid, and Weight of Oblivions is for me another experiment. There is a newer version now, an Ambient one, and everyone who heard it says it rocks. The other newer KoB tracks are very weird, weird and twisted. Think about early Absolum, Green Nuns, KoxBox from 97 and you get it. There is also one track to be released on another label's compilation that is close to earlier The Delta (!!!) Pretty eclectic as you can see. Tracks are deeper now, based on atmospheres and sonic research. Well so don't rely on WoO from Twist Dreams to judge. Then I thought Jannis still had some research work to put in this project. Now i'm sure KoB will be a hit. Maybe we should add more samples on the filteria page...

If you ask to us personnally, and provide evidence you bougth the tracks online, then yes

Hi there, Maybe some of you know Suntrip will be soon distributed onlines (iTunes, Virgin, Beatport, etc...) and all our past and future releases will be available there. Those who heard Filteria live also know he plays almost only unreleased tracks in parties. So he thought about releasing a part of them on an unofficial album on this media only. This will not be a Suntrip album, this will not be pressed, this is only for you guys willing to experience things beyond SkyInput and Heliopolis. Here's the tracklist of "Remixes & Unreleaseds" 1. Operation Mind Expansion 2. Latch 3. Poem 4. Speech Module (Filteria Remix) 5. R2V (Ze Remix) 6. Unfiltred (Sun Remix) 7. Reflected (Blinded Remix) 8. Total Planetary Being (Filteria Remix) A few details : - Operation Mind Expansion is a crossed remix between Operation Pulse and Mind Expansion - Latch is a great track from 2004 that almost made it to SkyInput, but Galactic Rays was chosen instead at the last moment. - Poem is totally unreleased. It was made in june 2005. - Speech Module Rmx is a remix of the track originally made with Red Gravity for Heliopolis. - R2V ZeRemix is one of the live mixes of Rotate to Vibrate, the most crazy and acid one !!! - Unfiltred is the live version of the track from Heliopolis, with some surprising changes ! - Reflected Blided Remix is the live version of the track from Heliopolis, more adventurous and more trippy - Total Planetary Being Rmx is a veeeery trippy track from september 2005, the original was made with Red Gravity, both were unreleased. This Remixes & Unreleased compilation, which will arrive online within a few weeks, is also meant to make you wait till the 3rd official Filteria album, which will be an official Suntrip one ! It's evolving slowly because Jannis is working a lot on his side-project KoB for a compilation and an album. Also because h's trying to find new directions and renew his Filteria sound. Tracks like Back to Earth, very Transwave-ish, and Eyeless Observatory, a unique wall of acid structures, are bound to be on that cd and believe me, you'll be surprised !

Also, we're settling a partnership with many online stores at the moment, so you can expect to see our tunes on iTunes, VirginMedia, Fnac, Beatport, etc soon.

Ah yeah that drama. It's over I guess now ? Hmm this concept is very interesting Who could get us a nice location somewhere easy to reach in Europe ?

Q: What do you think about free mp3 sites like emule? The quality isnt like the cd quality and you dont get the cover, sometimes it's nice to advertise old music but against it its' stealing people's art. if you keep it to yourself it's ok but if you start to pass it around it's too much,.

Artist: ManMadeMan, Sonya Bailey Date: 02-02-07 By: InFecTeD_gOa Q: Could you tell us a little about yourself? (name, studies, age, hobbies…) Hi there, we are Sonya and Paul, parents producers and partners. Our hobbies are many, but music and UFO's are what really float our boat;) Q: How and when did you start to make goa? For which reasons did you originally choose to produce psychedelic trance music instead of another genre? We sort of fell into the trance scene, it was a party back in the 90's, a wedding of a friend of ours, and that was it, we couldn't find any other music that got us like trance did. there are other things that pushed us forward into making trance, a close encounter experience we had was the main reason, and still is for our continuation into trance. Q: Why ManMadeMan? Again, as above the name came about after the experience mentioned, it just seemed to fit everything we were trying to comprehend. Q: How did you met together? We met through Pauls band, rock I might add I was going to manage them, but trance just lured us away from that project, been together 13 years since then Q: Do you project to release a new album? When would it be released? Ahh, that is the question, we have a few surprise coming this year, thats all we can say for now Q: Which of your own tracks do you like the best? We love Welcome to the world and Karahana, but there are elements in all our tracks that we like, as well as don't like Q: Is there any artist you would like to work with? Eat Static has to be the one Q: Future projects? Keep going, try to survive, gig more, and the surprise mentioned before Q: What kind of equipment do you use to make your tracks?

Hard question, Eat Static, and album, well again although not goa it has to be Implant. Q: When & where was your best party? And your worst one?

We had so much funny, but very messy The Glade last year was a highlight as well, it really was an amazing festival, and big thanks to Ans (Nano) and Nick for that one. Worst one was for a guy in Israel, the club turned out to be a happy house club, we managed to clear the floor all apart from 2 people and we didn't get paid Q: What the best & worst thing that has happened to you as ManMadeMan? The worse thing has to be when we realized that our studio monitors and digital desk we had at one point were crap!!!! Best thing, when we brought our new desk and monitors Yipppeee. Q: Which other music styles do you like? All sorts, house, electro, electronica, classical, anything good Q: What do you do in everyday life except making music? look after our two young children, god that's hard And make music, thats it! Q: What do you think about free mp3 sites like emule? Great, as long as NOBODY'S making any money out of it! Q: What would you like to tell to yours fans?

Artist: Kenneth A. from Color Box Date: 12-2004 By: Basilisk Q: What was it that began your association with Goa trance that led to your debut release in 1997? A: Well.. I started making music around '86 when I still lived at home with my parents and my younger brother René. I was always into electronic music. This began with a guy on my cousins’ street who was a musician and had an old electronic organ. I just couldn't believe that a single piece of equipment could make all this sound :-) I started listening to Depeche Mode in '87 or '88 and found a source of influence here that opened a new world of music to me. Later on I discovered Goa 'by accident' and fell in love with it right away. The Train To Chroma City album wasn't exactly my debut release. But I’ll get back to this later on. Q: Your album Train to Chroma City was one of a few Goa albums to have been based around a conceptual premise. Could you tell us more about this idea? A: This was just a crazy idea we got. We hadn’t seen it done before and found the idea somewhat original. It wasn't intended to be like this from the beginning at all but here's what happened. We started working on some tracks when we both lived at home with our parents for a short while. We made four or five tracks as far as I remember in the attic and kind of forgot about the whole thing. We then moved out of our parents’ house again and sold some of the equipment to buy some new equipment. When we had finished building our new setup it was way different than the old one. So we were in no way able to create that exact same sound. Then I got the idea of dividing the album into sections (cities in the end) that would all have a different sound of feel to them. The first two tracks on the album are actually two of the four or five tracks that were made 'at home' at our parents and are, in my opinion, the two tracks that sound most different from the other ones. The rest of the album was made on more or less the same equipment. Q: How was it to be working with your brother on Colorbox material - did you compose equally or divide up the creative process somehow? A: Yes and no. I've always been into mastering and creating sounds for our equipment so this was kind of my 'job'. My brother was a master of drum programming and bass programming while I worked on some of the riffs and other stuff. But we both contributed to all the stages of arranging, mastering and producing so it's not as black and white as a regular rock band where one guy plays the drums and another the guitar and so on. Q: How did you become to be associated with Hypnotic and their small stable of Goa artists? What was it like to work with a big label which only had a small division for Goa trance? A: This is a LOOOOOOOONG story but I'll give it to you anyway. In the summer of '93 I got a deal with a small underground label by the name of LOUD Records in Odense, Denmark. An artist known as Max M told me to send my tracks to them and I did. A few weeks later I got a call from them and shortly after signed a deal with them. I released two tracks for a number of compilations. The tracks were called 'Sample Your Mind' and 'Gyro'. Those tracks were released under the name 'Baas Complex'. This was in the very beginning of electronic music in Denmark. The tracks are not exactly Goa but more like electronic-techno-depeche-goa-goofing-around-like music :-) Note: 'Sample Your Mind' was actually released on a 12" vinyl maxi too in three different remixes. Only 25 were made and I still got mine. Maybe it'll be worth something at some point in time. Who knows :-) Well .. LOUD Records was owned and run by Jan Kjølhede who merged with Cleopatra and created the Hypnotic label. My brother started creating music too and became a member of Bypass Unit at some point in time. I don’t recall exactly when. We kept in contact with the Hypnotic label where Jan Kjølhede always told us that he would release an entire album if we ever were to make one together. So we did. Funny enough the Colorbox tracks were the first tracks my brother and I ever made together. Q: Hypnotic was home to several Goa artists including Psygone and Bypass Unit. Are there any stories to tell about your friendship with the members of those groups? Do you know where they are now? A: If you've read the paragraph above you will know that my brother was a member of Bypass Unit too. They are not making music and more. I don't think my brother is making any music at the moment either. I occasionally run into Michael Rasmussen on my way home from work. He has a regular job these days (so do I by the way). He's not making any music at all to my knowledge. Jesper Sieburg (the third member of Bypass Unit) is leading a regular life too. I haven't seen him in quite some time but I guess, and hope, that he's all right. I haven't seen Michael (another Michael) from Psygone in a long time. Last time I heard from him he was making dance music and remixes. He released a dance version of Mr. Postman by the way :-) At one point we were all kind of friends and met up at concerts and venues but since then a lot of stuff has happened. I don't hang out with any of the old guys anymore. Q: It has been seven years since your debut album was released. Much of the scene has gone on to entirely different places. It must seem quite different to you now... what was it that prompted you to make a return? A: I swore to NEVER touch a keyboard again when I 'quit' two or three years ago but I just can't help myself. I am not sure if I would call it a 'comeback' or a 'return'. I'll just play around and see what happens. See if the old spark is still there. The equipment I use these days are WAAAAY different from what we used back in the days but all my old CD-ROMs with the old sounds are still with me. I even have most of the Cubase arrangements on CD-ROMs. So I could recreate most of the Train To Chroma City album should I want too. But I really don't. If I am to make a new album (or try to at least) it will be a mix of old and new stuff I guess. I really love the themes and hook lines of the old school Goa style and love some of the elements of never psycadelic. But right now I have no idea what will happen. Q: Do you have any nice memories of playing live at parties to relate? You are also booked to play an upcoming party in Denmark... what's it like to be getting back into this after years away from it? A: I have a lot of good memories playing live. I've always loved playing live even though live might me an overstatement. Usually we used a CD and played some sounds off a synthesizer to it. But it is hard to name one event that's better than another. They've all been fun. Even the ones where we didn't get paid or got cheated in other ways are now good memories. But it is nice to get back in business though it may only be for a short while. I can’t wait to play live again. Q:You've mentioned that you're at least thinking of composing some new material in the future... many old school artists who remained in the scene all these years grew with the changing sounds, often to the dismay of old fans. Given that you skipped the major trends of the past few years, do you think you would seek to satisfy the lingering demand for quality old school sounds? A: I skipped the major trends for sure!! Believe me. I haven't listened to any techno in the last two or three years AT ALL. So right now I have NO idea what's going on. I believe that I will be able to bring back the magic (that's what I like to call it) of the whole Goa period. Some may like it and others may hate it. I don't really make music to please other people. I make it because I can't help making it. If someone likes it, that's fine by me. If they don't, that's fine by me too. But as I've already stated earlier I have no idea what will happen in the near future but I will for sure keep you guys posted.
