Nitrox, Macao Café, Chrome, and already another album planned ? so now they're gonna release an album every 3 months ) hmm personnally i dont like the begining of Chrome but the second part becomes really psychoïd...let's say it is extreme minimal psychedelism.

V/A - Fast Forward Artist: Various Title: Fast Forward Label: Neurobiotic Date: 2002 Track listing: 01. 07'38" Etnica : The 5 Tones 02. 08'40" Triplex : Superpipelined 03. 08'11" Stuntman : Bionoid Theme 04. 08'29" D-Tector : Ppg 05. 07'49" Molecular : Feel The Heat 06. 08'31" Exanimo : Fear And Loathing 07. 07'44" Altom : Equation 08. 07'25" Stralia : Satellite 09. 10'41" Vibra : Civilizations Review: This is the 3rd compil from the Italian label Neurobiotic. The first track, by Etnica uses the same instruments as in Andromeda (big bassline, rave sounds) but it's far slower. It makes no compromise but it's various, like in Hologram. I think it's a good relaxing piece of music and sampling. Simply pleasant. The Triplex track is really minimal and monotonous at the begining. Then the sounds are almost cracking, it's creepy all along. For minimal specialists. The Stuntman track is really fast and uses lots of hihats. This is a hardtechno track. It should work on a motivated dancefloor. The D-Tector track is rolling and uses some wobbling sounds that run across your brain. the tracks evolves nicely but when you think there's going to be a break, it restarts like before. It's ok but get boring after a few listenings. The Molecular track kicks hard and uses a huge bassline. It's really energetic and evolves into a phase where there is some music. There are two distinct parts in this song. Great. The Examino track attacks your brain quickly with all the constituents of minimal music. The rhythmic was worked on in a good way here. But at 3:40 there is a technodancehousy melody, immediately followed by some music that was changed into soemthing more psychedelic. Personnally i don't like the tracks that use this kind of instruments but it saves it from being too monotonous; moreover this could be ok on some happy dancefloors. The Altom track is the reason why i wrote this review. This is purely awesome : well done, fast, of the nightfullon kind that drives dancefloors crazy. At the begining it sounds like Absolum, but at 2:00 it becomes agressive (aaââh), so you jump inthe air...and at 3:30, the combination of the bassline and the new dark sounds all around make it fantastic. (This break is built like Spirallianz' OneWayLtd, for example). Before some ghosts catch you, the tracks becomes less creepy, keeps its bassline and restarts like in the begining, still agressive. The dark melody comes again later in the background while you're dancin' like a freak !!! The Stralia track *does* sound like an Absolum track. Fast, loaded rhythmic, an avalanche of nordleaded samples, more or less clear and acid...and without a surprise it climbs into a madness of all this at the end... Finally, the Vibra track was also inspired by 3DV labs (what a coincidence). hmmm my opinion is exactly the same as in the previous track! Overall a good compilation that will make you feared by your neighbors, and that will please people that like nightly stomping music in general. Too bad the last 2 tracks don't sound that fresh. I think it is less good than 9 Pills (2nd NEurobiotics compil) but it's worth having, at least for the Altom bomb! 7/10. mars.

i had this track yesterday. no doubt, it's great, again !

one word : MAIA

currently i'm getting very late on the version 2 of the site (same layout, improved functionnalities, and much more, you can't imagine). today the code is ~500KB and it is still some kind of early unworking alpha version...but it is fast ! it should have been completed in october, then december, then january, and now....later because my new job doesnt let me enough time. then we'll implement (maybe) a different layout.

probably for me

i didnt restart the radio station since i reinstalled the server which hosts these forums and the radio. i'll do it, but its at least 2 hours of work, and considering the way 'm working these days, i dont have this time. i should have done this last week end. i'll try to do it this week. please wait. mars.

Those t-shirts do exist. someone told me they exist. i think he had seen them at the Voov...anyway the problem remains : where can they be found ?

I think he's 65

Marcus played as a PA in france too in december. So Marcus is the one who supports the group alone. Jan has not showed up since a long time...i think he's not really involved in COP anymore...maybe in Organic Noise...hmm too bad. Anyway Marcus has lots of projects still running and he's a great musician. not only into psy music. hmm by the way i'm still looking for those MidiMiliz t-shirts....where are they sold ? mars.

i have stability problems with this server. i did a bit of admin remotely yesterday and suddenly the net connection stopped. and the day before i had tried to install dhcp on the server but it didnt work and screwed up the ip addresses of the server without really working...same effect.

I think there should be an announcement for the start date of the contest as soon as Children is sure about that the storage needed for you to download the tracks is available. will be soon.

but....but... you all forgot the real masters of guitar tracks : - Tim Schuldt / Four Carry Nuts - Xenomorph

Farenheit 2 !!

well the batabases were ok, i just checked them, not many issues...the problem was probably mysql that forced the server to disconnect from the internet....too bad for a 24-7 net-server ! my server was re-installed on january 2nd-3rd. now use FreeBSD 4.4 + Mysql 3.23.47 + php 4.1.1 + lots of plugins with php. and we are also testing a new forum and some parts of the new site here....since the new forum has to be modified to be integrated in the new site, which will take some time, we chose to resurrect the old forums and stop using the slow rescue forum.

maybe not for long. the hd is making strange noises and the server also makes soft errors. dont know what's happening. the sql tables were trashed too. anyway i phoned children to tell him that if the forums are down tonight, then he'll have to write on the news that the forums will only be back on january 2nd due to my holidays in scandinavia. sorry mars.

i'm going to denmark on wednesday 26. we are going in the north. then we may try to visit some parts of denmark (copenhagen) sweden (malmo and stockolm). so, 1) is there a tunnel or bridge from copenhagen to malmo ? otr should we take a boat ? what is the best ? (we travel by car) 2) is there a good party on the 31st in DK or SE (better SE) ? 3) is there someone to accomodate us on the 29 / 30 / 31 ? if not, are there cheap hostels around stockolm (url / email please) thanks all

ça c'est trop naze. c'est pas des racailles, ya que la dope qui les interesse. avec un plateau house ça draine pas trop des gens qui sont dans l'esprit non plus.... ou alors c'est des tranceux trop trop cons. faut se rendre à l'évidence. ~ to summarize, i'm sorry this happened. i wonder how it can happen while many people were around that point (i guess, i wasnt there but i know the place) JP, you could print some big advertisement about this and put it at the entrance of some upcoming parties. there are not enough french people around here. in parties in paris, you always have the same people, so someone must have seen something and will tell you i guess. anyway this is going to be hard.

i've dropped another project i was working on lately to concentrate on the psynews site v2. i think this site should be released as soon as possible, so i'm 100% on it again.

hehehe there is a cool story about those tapes. i was visitng a friend in LosAngeles in july 2000 and one day we drove to San Franciso but we had nothing to listen to in the car. so before we returned we went to freq8 shop and bought those tapes. then we listened to them in the car, returning to LA. After thatn my friend decided to release these tapes as mp3s. needless to say that i have those mp3s too. contact me StoNey

personnally i've heard some of the latest tracks Lestat has released on some compils (little by little, z trancepose, magnetic fields) and i think it kicks hard. i'm still waiting for musica divinorium i've ordered because its impossible to find it in france (they're selecting sonsense at techno import since a few months).....so i can't wait !!! rhaa

saw them in bordeaux too. i think this new live act is bad. and i'm not the only one. i had friends there who werent enthusiastic, and one week after that, stepahn played ion a party in paris. he played only those new tracks, and people were bored.
