You never know

Hello everyone ! Twist Dreams will be released on January 26th in your usual shop. So we have received our stock of it, and it's sweet !!! No misprint this time, braincandy music...aaah We'll be taking orders for it from january 22nd, get prepared, dear Goafans ! Check http://www.suntriprecords.com/pages/releases/SUNCD06/ for some extracts !

I'll buy it, no doubt

I like this album a lot, although I think the begining is nicer than the end. Some tracks are really twisted and/or banging. On headphones or personal stereo it may sound too boom-boom-esque but on a big sound system it kicks major ass ! 7/10

How can you say Filterias music does not identify itself ? After 1 minute you can hear its a Filteria, whetever you like it or not. Compare it to typical boring FullOn : overused overrepeating breaks & tweaks. THIS definitely does not identify itself. If you knew how much effort Jannis puts in the tracks and how many hours he sits with the music recording the same track over and over till he gets the perfect melody, mixing, arrangement, if you knew that, you wouldn't be calling it soulless. Ok, you don't like it, fine, but to say soulless is not true... Who other artist can say he live-remixes evey track 20 times for the audience, for every live act ?? He lives for the audience !! Etnica wannabe ? Oh my, if you'd heard him play since mid-2005, you'd know he's going his own directions totally freely. If you'd seen the answer of the crowd lately, you'd say this guy truly is a soul-connector. Let me propose you something: listen to the music.

After 2 years, i agree it still kicks major ass. He just got an interview here : http://www.fullonline.net/archives/2006/12/filteria.html

Ok seraph, it was a test to see the space taken, but you're right imo. We'll have to do something about these 15 forums anyway, but i have plans. About the rest, YES there are obviously bugs, but apart from the on,es running the betas already, we were amongst the first to install Invision Board 2.2.0 in the world...the new captcha and admin section will prevent spam and provide better management, but we'll have to face with the unavoidable '"launch bugs".

The logo hasn't changed. I had to rebuild the whole skin set as it was destroyed with the upgrade. As for the black hole...errrr....can anyone tell me how it looked like before ? No, I can't remember

Hi Thanks for your patience during the 10-hour downtime today due to a massive forum upgrade. We jumped from v2.0.3 to v2.1.7 of IPB. For your information, we have now a LEGIT version of Invision Power Board, lifetime license, with all upgrades Please thank the mods who contributed to this purchase. The forums will be upgraded to the v2.2.0 when the version is available (tomorrow maybe) but this will be short this time (or so i hope). Meanwhile, if you notice any glitches, please report them here.

Some people have reported visual problems, i have them too, so i'd like to know how many of you are affected before i can try to fix it. Thx.

I can't tell the composition date, obviously 97 as Pleiadians weren't playing it live in 96. There is a live version that's different from the released one, but no many people have it, or even heard it.

This is actually a play on words : Sweet Dreams >> Twist Dreams....get it ? I found it during Transwave's live act in Paris a few weeks ago. I thought the play was obvious. Seems not. SO is it really too Engrish ? Could a real anglosaxon tell us about it ?

I share Cinos' point. Nowadays' Goa producers are really good, can renew, and share !

Thanks all of you for this ! I'm in Madrid now....adressing my "keynote" (huhu) tomorrow morning for some boring "project kick off", then scavenging begins (tatataaaaan)

Actually the travel section was created for hitch hikers and travellers of all sorts to find rides and friends

Hi I'm going to Madrid for my work next week and i'd like to see what psy shops or second hand shops i could visit Also directions for cool places are appreciated too Gracias thx

OD, this was a joke, right ?

The Psynews server has no backup power genrator, and the machine is quite old. Like Nemo described, little power variations can alter some components, and if the HD is writing at the moment it occurs, then the data may be corrupted. And what does the psynews server do 99% of the time ? Write on the HD all your posts !!!

[sideeffect aked me to post this one here] KAIROO RECORDS Lani : The Reincarnation of Jhonny Looloo (CD) 1. The Reincarnation - A New Frontier 2. Silverbox 3. Ultraworld 4. Lost In Venice 5. The Seventh Sister 6. Lana's dream 7. Different Colour (Lani rmx) 8. The Waspdance 9. Destination sorry for the bit long review but it just came, couldn't help it, but I made an appointment with my doctor tomorrow so let's hope they have medecine against long reviews (to be honest I shorted him LOL, this the short version, shit, well if you don't like long reviews, just only read the general, most important info is written there...) GENERAL: This is it, the second release of our Belgian artist lani, their debut album was for me a blast, not because it was Belgian (I don’t like Belgian goa people so, kidding ), I just like happy melodies and that is like the main mark of lani… I always say releasing a debut album is one thing but creating a second one and still keep your fans or create new ones is also a big challenge, Well my imo is lani succeeded that with their second album, I think the debut fans will still find the same satisfaction they got with the debut album and new fans who maybe experienced lani as a bit to cheesy or overloaded will maybe change their opinions hearing this one, Well reviewing a second album is always nice cause you can compare how the artists are evolved, in which direction, what has changed ? those descriptions are often more objective minded… So what changed or did not ? Lani is still pure morning fullon, lots of artist are categorized as morning fullon but this is actually pure morning… lani provides you happy melodies, motivating baselines, this is 100% psychedelic trance when the sun is shining high at an open air festival… Comparing to their first album lani uses less layers this time, consequence is that the atmosphere is more subtle and advancement is more at front… at their first album you had sometimes full climaxes and waves at 2 minutes but now lani likes to keep it more under the surface, the advancement is more a bit surfing on the morning sounds, who speak more and level ups the psychedelic percentage… The typical spirals are a bit gone and more synths are used in this one… Off course lani is famous for their powerful guitar riffs and yes again in this album you will be satisfied, in the first album the guitar riffs reminded me more of skazi, talamasca, now they remind me of sun project, but not the new sun project, the old skool sun project we all went crazy on like ‘dances of the witches’, out of my brain, 380 volt haaaaaa , what remarkable changed is the power of the bass lines and the speed, the factor bass line has become more important but I must say they managed to create a good drive together with those morning sounds… And what is still present and I’m very glad, lani kept there detail for intro’s and outro’s, a basic element of goatrance that like suddenly disappeared and it’s super great to experience it again. Artist who like just directly use the baseline after the 10th second and end there climaxes in 2seconds give me the feeling it’s more routine trance and less thought trough, this is totally not the case here, each track has been thought through and smoothly and very friendly you enter each track, small, tiny and humble psychedelic sounds who introduce and subtle keep you floating after a climax has entered your speakers so you can still dream on a for a little bit… Well that main mark of old skool (which I like a lot) is one of the marks who made it possible that you had the feeling the trance songs were like telling a story and well this is a big imo but I like totally kick on that concept, that is what I like, if an artist reaches that certain level I believe they actually totally have control and idea what psychedelic trance is , goa, fullon name it what you want is about, ok that’s a very subjective expression influenced on the fact I kick on the telling trance concept so… but writing objective reviews is almost impossible and boring  so general lani keeps you busy all the time, using the baseline, then again just pure the atmosphere and off course the synths, guitar riffs and waves… Now some more detailed marks on each tracks, I won’t review every track in detail cause my general is like so detailed I would be repeating myself and reading this review would go direction boring… at each track I will just write a few lines what makes that track different from the others and the rest you just combine with the general… If you are unable do that just follow a goa lessons in India, goa gil is giving them for free and yés it’s allowed to touch him (before I get 100 pm’s) 1.lani – a new frontier well as first track the intro is amazing, pure subtle, not direct satisfaction and not revealing all their secrets but still giving an idea which direction this album is going to take off… 2.lani – silverbox this one provides us one hell of a motivating baseline, the drive is balanced and very good presented, the first guitar riffs are being used, again not as climax but subtle advancement style and then BAM full guitar climax , combination of two kind of sort of guitar riffs proves they actually are able to play guitar very good and not just some simple riffs like many morning fullon artist use but actual solo combinations… 3.lani – ultraworld to be lani the bass line enters very quickly, announced subtle off course, don’t forget the general !!! , for the rest this track is pure like I described in general, it’s lani style but hasn’t got any differences, just the general lani stuff, what is good for me imo, contrast has to be made in an album, if all tracks are super good the end conclusion is that it’s just good cause there’s nothing to compare with, this track is more a time to breath a bit 4.lani – lost in Venice hold on your buts cause to me this is like THE lani track ever, it’s already been released on EP so some will already know it… the drive is extremely motivating and has a funky touch comparing to their other drives… the women voice samples singing in the advancement makes you smile big time, well it make me smile, if it doesn’t make you smile, go see a shrink (kidding), the Latino guitars are perfectly subtle used together with guitar riffs, this is pure joy and a pleasure to predict, the full wave reminds me of old skool times and the crystal clearness of the sounds caresses my ears… this is very uplifting, extremely uplifting, how do you call that on isratrance, oh yeah I remember ‘ a dance floor killer’, lani keeps on playing with the sounds over and over and giving you the feeling they perfectly know what they are doing, what is nice, everything fits at the right place and each sound comes and goes when it has to be, the drive isn’t that straight anymore but goes up and down with the melodies and sounds what is typical for artist like audiotec, lamat ananda shake etc 5.lani – the seventh star this is a bit of a surprise, direct baseline but then again after 2 seconds a morning tune arrives and the atmosphere goes from 0% to 100%, pure proof goa hasn’t always to be complicated to be good, the main synths used in this track is less attractive comparing to the rest of the cd, but that pure goatrance sound following is absolutely welcome , they use that typical 1200 mics whiiiiiiiiii to announce there climaxes which is nice but not the entire cd, but they don’t so pretty good, the reformed voice speaking is well done, not the typical hallucinogen/infected women singing stuff we heard a thousand times before…. 6.lani – lana’s dream the intro is a guitar solo which reminds me of mystica (what is like a very good artist to referent too, mystica rules ), the bass lines is again more straight and full power… again guitar riffs but we have heard them before already but the solo is different what makes it nice…. I think this track has the hardest guitar climax until now, short but pure power…. 7.lani – different colour (lani rmx) the intro reminds me of infected mushroom, don’t have to describe that I think we all have an idea what that means, if you don’t, go sit in the corner for 30 minutes and write down ‘I will listen to classical mushroom ever day for a whole month !!!!, this baseline is tuff to be lani, a bit macho, not to fast but deep… the atmosphere is still morning but has some slight creepy morning touch cause they use violins, and violins always have that effect on me (so subjective 100 percent), I don’t know but this track is so different, hard to describe, it’s like created to reach a certain emotion, totally not focused on being fast or super melodic, but it sure does tell a story… 8.lani – the wascp dance this baseline is the most typical fullon baseline we all have heard a thousand times and has been copycat, but for one track I don’t mind, it’s THE typical morning fullon baseline used by many artist, the pattern is very simple and repeating, also the psy sounds are so it all does fit together, they know how to reform their sounds by putting another baseline… this track doesn’t speaks to me, the solo at the end is good but it’s a bit too late, I had to wait to long, but what the heck with all the fullon coming out these days as a home listener you get spoiled imo… 9.lani – destination no ambient track as last track, good, if I want to listen to ambient I’ll put an ambient cd in my player never got that concept… this track is a bit floating out, ending the release… but still motivating… I have the feeling this is the end but heeeeeel no at 4th minute a super smooth wave enters my world coming bigger, bigger, bigger, BIGGER and reminds me it’s middle of the night and my stereo is way to loud for this hour, what the heck is the last track, the end wave is a bit an end surprise and is very good, simple but unexpected what makes it so good… as usual lani doesn’t stop suddenly but smoothly surfs out the track enjoying the last sound… end conclusion: I have to admit the first time I heard it as a big fan of their debut album I was like noooo, they changed direction and after all this years I’m still that stupid to think an artist will release the same concept, off course not, like super boring for the artist creating the same patterns and loops over and over again, so I had to deal with the fact, high expectations on a certain level of satisfaction but not getting it, so I went back to zero and gave the album after a week a second change with no expectations anymore, and it’s good, I prefer subtle trance and this more subtle comparing to their debut album, the fact that they used sun project minded guitar riffs is nice if you were a big fan of them when they released their first tracks… End note: the same note I always say, if you don’t like the lani sound this cd won’t satisfy you, but that counts for like any goa cd ever released so, if you don’t like some cheesy morning sounds, this is not your style, but I like cheesy, my first artist were mfg, astral projection, one man game/mystica and etc and that’s cheesy, it’s nice if goa makes you smile and that I guarantee lani offers you 100%... So if you wanna smile this is the one, if you don’t want to smile, hahaha then you’ve got a problem (kidding) enough written, not rating, don’t do that anymore, this review is highly subjective cause I like the concept a lot, it could be more objective but pfffff why do that if words pup into my head and just float down my finger, keep up the good work lani, you have the technieque, just keep creative like you are being now and have a good time all the time

I heard the preview of a new track, and...OMG ! If Filteria was "the Force", then KoB is probably "the dark side of the Force" !
