hey guys i got some news : ( this post is related to this older one ) i got the flyer of the Etnica vs Pleiadians party in London on sept 27th, and it's written on it that they will present the tracks for their new Pleiadians album : "Explores" , on Etnicanet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So there WILL be a 3rd Pleiadians album. Btw you will remark that etnicanet.net is offline since a few days....let's hope for fresh news on it when it's back again

Lemmiwinks : I swear Etnica - Starship 202 was once called Pleiadians - Starship 101 Rmx when it was scheduled for some Etnicanet EP...but as i saw the guys live 4 times in 2 years, i also admit they always played it in both performances. Besides, Crop Circles is a totally different story from what was said before : this project that was burried in 98 with the crash of Auracle recors.

just like Goadigger )

I saw Etnica live one month ago : they have indeed come back *a little* to something more melodic....they have brought back some of their fantastic breaks for example, but the rest is mainly very complex noise. So don't wait for brand new ultra full melodic tracks. Else they'll play in London on sept 27th as Etnica vs Pleiadians, which is their - i think- "can't do otherwise" concept. Let me explain my point of view : They have been performing under this double-name several times lately. It also seems they still try to attribute their tracks to either group depending on the madness they acheive... ...But... - with Etnica returning to something decent - with Pleiadians becoming more noisy (like starship 202 for example, which was annonced as a Pleiadians track for some unreleased Etnicanet EP, 18 months ago), - with the use of the same instruments for both groups - with the lack of time, *it seems* the limit between both groups has become uncertain for their very authors, you see. Yet, it's my opinion. I also was successively deceived by annouces, and finally the no-go's for the next Pleiadians Album...hum...CDM...hum...EP. Now i doubt we'll have something like that. On the other hand, i heard from a reliable source that an Etnica album is on its way...well is it complete or still one of those wonderful concepts of the brain our beloved highly whimsical artists have in mind ? Well...from what i heard they have enough new music for one album. Why not an Etnica vs Pleiadians album ? I'd prefer that than nothing. Future shall unveil all that

indeed the url http://goatrance.free.fr/reviews/reviews.htm does not longer exist, but reviews still exist Reviews are now physically located in http://www.psynews.org/reviews/reviews.htm sorry for the inconvenience.

I also think it is a killer. Very furious, but a killer

hello please refresh http://www.psynews.org and read the popup. bom ! fabien mars.

just finished devirusing the psynews server....grrrr hell...it couldnt reboot although i didnt have hte fix installed because i had taken some precautions, but it affected performances a lot.

Hello everyone. Just to say i'm going on zambujera....hummm...holidays, till august 10th. If my server fails before, noone will be here to restart it before that day...so please accept my apologies in advance. Else, here are a few infos from us. We are going thru a revealed crisis (like the rest of the french scene, bwaah) : - Psynews1 is likely not to be updated (as it's been for 1 year). Consider Psynews is now a forum ! - why ? => Children is not available anymore on Psynews, i guess. He says he is a bit, or will be again, but i dont believe it...he didnt even go to the Astral Projection pzarty in paris 2 weeks ago, so... About Insane that updates the EPs, i'll let him do it, so that our database is not completely idle. - I renewed psynews.org & .net domains for the next year - why ? => As i have been set on another project in my company (not a ugly one this time), and as hoped in my previous post about this matter, i have some time again to work on psynews2...It's progressing little by little actually, but it's definitely a w.i.p again. I'm thoroughly testing some delicate parts, and i updated many things (the db here is now mysql 4 for example)...i really hope i will manage to do it in a decent delay this time. No time...no time...no time...rhaaa maybe we are too old for this More seriously, i have idas for the future of Psynews, i mean, the future of the site is clear to me, not its crew...but i need to meet Children (who lives 2 km from me)...He is the real boss of this site, although i'm the owner of the server and domains....but we have no real associative structure...well...I'll update you. - I'm thinking about setting up another party but my money still goes to my appartement, still in progess too. The wish is there, i just need a bit of luck and partners, and schmurtz-plop-shazam-stuff, you see Overall that's not so good news, but that's not so bad, eh. I won't forget your all-time support. fabien mars.

probably one of your numerous *female* fans

THERE'S NO CONTEST.. SORRY FOR ALL PRODUCERS WHO UPLOAD STUFF..

Hello So i'll be very explicit and direct, as always If some sections of psynews are dead, that's actually not our fault. the servers at free.fr hosting the site are more than saturated. If the forums still work (alternatively sometimes), that's because they're still on lmy home ADSL line, but the quality of the line is bad, so each time the server gets disconnected, it takes a while to reconnect....and as this machine is also the name server for psynews, a disconnection also deprives you with www.psynews.org (though, the alias goatrance.free.fr is still available). If some of you encounter failures while posting messages on the forum, that's a known bug i've been hunting for a long time but i never got the time to find it...actually a forum upgrade might solve this. the problem is to find the time, as i'll explain later. Well some of you might say - You : Why not move the whole psynews site to the same server as the forums ? - Me : That's a good idea, an excellent idea, but neither of Children or me has the time (but we WILL do that eventually), which leads me to the second part of this post. OK, some of you know i now have someone in my life, so she diverted me a lot from my keyboards, and i also moved to a new home in which there was a lot of work to do, which took me almost all the time i had remaining for psynews activities. on top of that i'm working on some ultra shitty project for my work, with a lot of pressure. The last 6 months have been very hard. So i'm somewhat connected to psynews, but not like before. i'm like a non active member, as i also stopped all kinds of development for psynews 2 in the same period ; same for the parties, i got disgusted of the lousy parties here in france (and also the ever-the-same-lousy-atomic-pulse-crap) just at the same time, which didn't improve the situation, so i switched from one party a week to one every two months...i'll concentrate on some festivals. - You : So why not simply leave psynews, or worse, the scene ? - Me : Because i swore i would drive psynews 2 to its release. - You : But you just said psynews2 is idle, so please leave your place to the younger ones - Me : You have a point, but i also swore to myself i would resume the development as soon as possible after the move, the works, the crappy project, etc....and that time will come by the end of the month, so let's see if i can handle it. Now the Children case : no answers, no updates, nothing...a ghost ? No, simply Children is facing exactly the same things as i did, with a 2-months shift. And he also changed his work (now he works for the interactive/web dept at the french television). On top of that, he has no internet connection so far in his home, so he is more than idle. - You : same for Children as for Mars, 26 years old, time to leave the internet and have a decent life. Time to let the psynews to other people. - Me : You still have a point, and i share that point of view. I do think Children and me should leave psynews totally...wait wait wait...i don't contradict myself. Above i said i was still there for psynews2, not psynews1. The only problem is to find people interested in doing that. Look : the psynews1 site is totally static, no backoffice, lots of things to take care of all the time. So far, we recruited some moderators for the forums, and none of them could handle that task seriously long enough to convince us. So, as for the psynews themselves....... - You : you can talk, YOU cannot handle it ANYmore, others can obviously do better than nothing. -Me : I know. We already have a guy to take care of the EPs, it's now up to Children to say yes for all the other parts of the site. Else, personnally, i'd rather see the site to close *except for the forums of course, and for a while only* ; or maybe keep only a small small news page only....don't know. And now the delicate part : the contest nr2 & nr3 - The contest nr2 results are known, and our fellow label, inpsyde media, even scheduled the release of the second compilation. However, either for economic reasons (you know, the economy of the scne is going wrong, just read the article related to this on isratrance), or for personal reasons, i think the label owners, Valerio and Guissepe are no longer interested in working with us, and i don't think this compil will be released now. I also don't think another label will be willing to replace them...[understand what you want]. I thought about setting up a label expecially for this, with a limited number of releases, seriously distributed, and i also planned to ask for my friends at Procyon records to explain me everything on that subject, but with my move and the works, i have no money for that. Maybe we should try to set a business such as the Schlabbaduerst ReKkords one : send burnt copies to the ones who ask for it and pay a little fee....why not. - The contest nr3 has started and stopped quietly, like the rest. Sorry not to have informed you. Actually people have uploaded a lot on the upload server, my server, and we thank all competitors. We had a deal with some friend of ours who had some spare storage and bandwidth to give, for you to download, listen and appreciate the tracks...but the owners of the server and the bandwidth there didn't think the same and shortly after the begining of the third contest, we became out of download server. We tried to hire some space somewhere,but it has a co$t, so we asked for the help of inpsyde-media, with no result ! Else, particular people couldn't provide us with a regular and bandwidth compliant server. So...............ok my idea is not to let you apart, take that space for 1 or 2 months on our personnal funds, let you appreciate, fill 1 or 2 cds with the winning tracks and use the same distribution method for the 3rd contest as the one we'll choose for the 2nd contest. Conclusion As you can see i'm a bit blasé, moody, dark, whatever, in my explanations, but the roots of the problem aren't. I'm just ashamed and furious *about myself* not to be able to deliver you with what we delivered with so much pleasure, in 2000 and 2001. Psynews V2, i swear, will be born, and will regenerate all those wonderful feelings I swear we won't let this site to die like that !!! My last words go to Children. Please come on this thread, and let's take decisions altogether. Meanwhile, all useful and constructive comments ans solutions are appreciated. Thanks. fabien 'mars' marsaud / psynews / paris / france / earth / universe...

UPDATE : It seems my phone line in my former appartement still works as those forums are still up, so let's update you : Maybe, i say *maybe* the forums will be online again on the 19th evening (CET).

Well it's always like that, you prepare everything, e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g, and it all fucks up at the end (( So here's the story : i'm curently moving to a new appartement, so my server, so the psynews forums. I had arranged everything with the telecoms so that the ADSL service would start in the new appartement (march 14) before the end in the old one (march 18). However, - I doubt the 40 year old phone line in my new appartement, (checked miraculously as good by a technician) would cary the ADSL signals correctly, - ...but i couldn't test because the phone line was cut during some works - ...and a technician *may come someday soon* to fix it - ...and on top of that the telecoms opened the wrong service - ...and i still don't know if my former modem will be compatible with the DSLam routers in the district i'm moving to (i was supposed to check). Hum...so in he best case (service correctly opened, me tweaking the phone line without hte help of a technician), those forums will be totally unavailable on a partof the 18th and the 19th of march. If a technician takes some time to come, it will be 3,4,5 days.... If my modem is not compatible with the DSLams there...more than 1 week. I'm sorry. Besides, my server is also the DNS server for Psynews itself. So we're gonna ask the name provider take the name "psynews.org" in charge during that shutdown. Thanks for your attention, apologies, and BOM !!! Mars+Children

you already know them but please welcome as the new moderators : Insane : General all the time + OffTopic if needed Rx7Style : General all the time + MusicMaking Psycle : OffTopic all the time + General if needed psychosis : OffTopic Ktrance : Traveltalk, Losttracks, Contest Although they are now moderators please still consider them as the normal users they were, and respect them and their decisions. Also note their first commandment is to ban ftp/porn/drug ads their second commandment is to curb useless fights their third commandment is to remain smily & cool behind their keyboards. Ubik, Tequila, Children and I are also permanent moderators here, but we wont interfere too much beacause we have a lot of work. If you want more info, please contact me at mars@planet-d.net Thanks for your attention.

i've just written you Mr. Cosmosis.

one last word : if anyone here has the email of meth0xy, please give it to me, i want to tell him a few words.

Hi guys, I've just written a big letter of apologies to Cosmosis, who had posted here to ask us to remove some direct download mp3 of his latest album Contact ! This is amongst the things i totally hate to do. We are doing all we can to promote atrists and we end up in trouble with some of them because of 2 kinds of people : the mp3 traders who have no respect for the work of the artists they listen to, and the moderators of those forums. Shame, shame, shame on us all. ...Grrrrrr i've seen there has been no moderation here for a while... ** So first, i'm looking for serious motivated and available moderators. please email me (mars@planet-d.net) if you wanna apply. ** Second here are a few rules i wrote here a few times in 2002, but that the stubborn and the new ones here need to remember : - those are english forums, definitely. even if some mexican/danish/french party changes its location 1 hour before it starts, please speak here in english ! - sex related threads are tolerated on the offtopic only as long as they are related to >18 people. understood ? porn ads will be moderated as well. - drug related threads should be treated reasonably too... - no piracy talking, anywhere. if you speak about cracked software or ripped mp3s, that's piracy. if you speak about some hub on dc++, that's not. you see ? - no cd selling, no trading, no advertisement on the general forum. i'm afraid we have got some problems with that. plz go on the offtopic one for that for now on. - i already see some of you complain and say i'm a dictator or something. i promise, we won't take over your freedom. however, imagine an artist sues us because he thinks our forums link too many of his track....we were lucky this time with Cosmosis. Moreover, in france, where those forums' server is hosted, a webmaster can be charged for what's written on his message boards and his site can be forced to close. currently french authorities do whatever they can to crush any techno community. in other words, i wouldn't like to have psynews closed after 3 years. maybe that's unlikely to happen, but you never know. if it had to happen, *you people* would be the first to complain and Children would kick my ass too. please understand, give peace a chance, and see you. mars.

be happy guys, i just got an interview with Neuromotor/ESXS....you'll have the info you want

Right, but he moved in the UK a few months ago. Chris Hoy is his name.

Hello girls & guys For several reasons we are upgrading (a lot) the forums server today (dec 5th), so there will probably be a 3-4 hours deadline.... Sorry for the inconvenience. Bom ! the Psynews team
