Nice you got it working again, Mars! But dont turn it into another isratrance with heavy moderation and rules, i want fights, mayhem and entertainent!!! And i want the superspammers back, who will entertain me now when work gets boring. just make rules for the general forum, the off-topic should be free!!

i thought you are at work...

probably because that Jaia CD, after the first "wow" listening sessions, gets old very quick, thats my feeling at least.

i like housey, that wouldnt be the problem, my problem is the cookie-cutter part.

so in other words its cookie-cutter house/trance, thats what i feared

I liked some of his 12" stuff released earlier, so im interested in it. It came out like a month ago, but I havent seen anyone talk about it or write a review about it? Opinions?

I heard that the Character of George is actually supposed to be Larry David, or at least he was modelled after him. And if you watch CYE that kinda shows, Larry David is just a married stinking filthy rich version of George in that show. At my office there was this guy who got fired last month, and we always said hes "our George". He was short and bald, horny as fuck, but never managed to get laid, he always got himself in very awkard situations, he was extremely complicated, and in the end he got fired!! Just like George...

Seinfeld is by far my fav. Sitcom, nothing comes close, maybe CYE. But only n english, Seinfelds humor just doesnt work in translation.

Its funny how the perception of music is so different, you think of insurrection and hooligans, I think of Kenny G and thanks for the nice words about my review, I was very intoxicated as I wrote that and decided to get creative...

Im Azrael the Anal Avenger, Grand-Assmaster of the GaySatanicHippies, fighting alongside Satans Fluffer, Grand Cockmaster of the GaySatanicHippies, and we are are here to follow Satans Order to find, rape and kill all Virgins. ALL OF THEM!!!!

poor clemens, hell freak out.. just send him your review in pm to calm his nerves

good call!!

How come this hasnt been reviewd properly, did I miss a post? Anyways, I made this extra-special review with a photo representing the thoughts each track gives me! Yay, a photoreview, you dont have to read!!! 1. Prologue 2. Kids of the 80's 3. U make me wanna drink more 4. In the dirt 5. Poem for granny 6. In stereo 7. Rip it up 8. Chicken shaker 9. The analogue H 10. Six years after I have been a fan of the Scando sound since its very beginning, and therefore I have been following Ticon ever since they first started with the aptly named "Ass-Tronaut" track. What makes them stand out from the rest of their scandinavian colleagues, however, is the element FUN. It starts with the track names, if i were to make a top ten of my fav. track names, at least 5 of them would be ticon ("we are the mammoth hunters", "ü make me wanna drink more" "the clown smells like gasoline" etc...). Then it continues with the production and overall feel of their music, its "in your face", exciting, huge basslines and melodies, instead of the typical restraint and subtlety that we usually know and love from our northern friends. So, just like Jesus, let me use an analogy. Son Kite is a fine red Bordeaux Wine, lots of subtle nuances, it gets quite heavy sometimes, the aftertaste is complex and almost more important than the real taste. Atmos is "Crystal", the $500 champaign all the rappers keep babbling about, its sparkly, light, care-free, subtle and sophisticated. Ticon, on the other hand, is BEER!!! And this album is more Beer than the previous two. That means, for example, that unlike most other proggy artists, Ticon has picked up the pace instead of slowing it down. Therefore they have landed right in the gap between the normal proggy stuiff, which has been getting slower, and the full-on shit, which has been getting faster and more obnoxious every time i look. Anyways, IMHO, the result is pure Psytrance, not progressive, not electro, not club, but good old psychedelic trance the way it should be done if the Full-On Virus hadnt killed this style of music and given it a bad name. This album just overwhelms the listener with its sheer power at some points, the sounds jump out of the speakers in amazing plasticity, influences and ideas from other scenes wait around every corner, its like one big psychedelic circus and the Ticon Guys are standing in the middle of the manege directing the whole show. There are ten different performances in this circus: 1. Prologue: Tweedle deedle deedle, tweedle deedle, deedle tweedle...(just another one of them prologues....) 2. Kids of the 80's: This track sounds very normal without being normal at all. That means there are lot weird influences mixed together, 80's synths that sound straight out of a videogame, that weird twisted vocal from beat bizarre and the mammoth hunter remix, a very groovy and danceable beat plus typical prog. psy sweeping sounds. maybe its the name of the track, but it makes me think of Daniel-San on Acid. 3. U make me wanna drink more: Remember when He-Man kept talking about "...by the power of Grey Skull" when you were a kid? He must have been thinking about something like this, because this track is HUUUGEEEEE!!! It starts the moment the bassline kicks in, every mammoth hunter would be be goddamn proud of it, and accelerates even more when the electro starts during the break. Skeletor, why dont you try to fuck with this bad boy!!!! 4. In the Dirt: The oldest-sounding track on here, but still great. Its got that typical galopping beat that was in fashion around 2000-2001, mixed in with some nice euphoric pads, very straight forwad and nothing fancy, but it works and will get everyone dancing. 5. Poem for Granny: It starts grooving and tribal, and then in the break a shifting electro bassline kicks in, weird twisting sounds move all over, a cool female sample flies around here and there, tweedling sounds, what a beauty!! Even though its not my fav track on here, it shows everything that is great about Ticon, the diversity, the skill, the danceability, its like Ticon is trying to show off their skills. As Cartman would say: RESPECT MY AUTHORITAHHHHHH!!!! 6. In Stereo: Ticons take on Electro-house, so its trancy psychedelic electro house. The dominant element is a pulsating synth not unlike Der Dritte Raum "Hale Bopp", but everything is covered in lush pads and atmospheres. It would mix perfectly with Antix "Le Lascard". 7. Rip it Up: So far my favorite track, even thogh it sounds very simple. But its just the simplistic scenic beauty of the string arrangement and soundsscape that really gets to me, its so innocent and naive. The effect this track has on me is kinda like that song "Silhouette" by Kenny G., and that is not an insult coming rom me, I love that track (and Kenny G. in general ). 8. Chicken Shaker: So, I guess there was no way to avoid it, Ticons try at making full-on. The basslines makes me vomit, but the rest of the track is actually very funny, especially the lyrics. the rest of the arrangement is also quite clever, but with that bassline i refuse to listen to it. 9. The Analogue H: FINALLY!!!! Someones remixing Union Jack!!!! YAY!!! Ive been waiting for this moment for a very long time. And its a very good reworking, it could be a little slower, but thats why i have a pitch on my turntable. The Union Jack melody is incorporated beautifully , the bassline is typical groovy Ticon material, just a real feel-good track for the sunrise! Now Im just waiting fo someone to finally remix "Red Herring" ( Son Kite??? I know you read here sometimes...) 10. Six years after: It has been noted this track sounds somewhat like Shilohs Focus remix. And that is certainly true. The tweedling sounds and the "travelling bassline" are the main reason for that, methinks. But this track is brilliant enough to shine on its own, first of all because of that chanting male vocal, and also because of the intense electro-middle part. One of those goosebump tracks, even moreso than Shilohs Son Kite mix. Brilliant ending to a brilliant album!! Soooo, that was it, this album rawks, you should really get it, or you will miss on a whole lot of fun. The only thing i dont like here is the use of samples, sometimes it gets a little annoying, but then this is also one of reasons why Ticon is Beer and not wine. The most convenient way to get it is the Digital Structures mp3 store which can be found on the DS website, it works really well and then its only 6.99. Have fun!!

no, Aje=GHS, look at the signature

Atmos hasnt released anything in 18 months, and he still owns the poll!!!

you people have no idea, the best song EVAAAAAA is Barry Manilow - Mandy, i myself have been known to give my own rendition every once in a while, just ask Fluffy, or the people who were on the train from Wöbbelin to Berlin last winter.

that was me on isratrance, analogue H is using the melody from cactus. BTW, the Union Jack album "There will be no Armageddon" is still one of the best albums of all time, its the record that got me into trance music in the first place, i recommend everyone to check it out!! now im still waiting for the remix of Red Herring, if i could choose an artist to do it Id choose Freq, his style would fit perfectly.

geee, i wonder, does it start with ant?

Im still an Atmos whore, even though i easily could have voted for 4 or 5 others here......if there can only be one , i have to enable the cable so the drums dont stop.

OK, since bad trip popped this thread up, ill make a new current top 10, i love making them, i could make one every day, its so much fun! 1. Whignomy Brothers& Robag Wruhme - Bodyrock (Freude am Tanzen Recs) This track is the ultimate Fusion of arrogance and melancholy, so I identify with it, it fits me well. whenever i listen to this track ifeel far superior than everyone around me, so in that sense its like "äudio-cocaine". 2. Delon & Dalcan - Friend (Boxer Recs.) Elektrooooo with Robot Voices executed to perfection. and the robot says "I want to be your friend.....I want to cum in your brain.." Nobel-Prize material..... 3. Argy - Love Dose (Poker Flat) Slow pumping narcotic beat, weird anlogue squelching, tribal hypnotic drumming and one sleazy spanish ho' whispering "Necessito otra Dosis.......de tu amor" .... 4. Ticon - Rip it Up (Digital Structures) and the rest of the album, good stuff, review shall follow soon. 5. Phony Orphants- I want to feel (Iboga) my fav. track of the album, vocals well done, and awesome haunting pads. 6. Hemman & Kaden - Sense (Freude am Tanzen Recs) Scaryyyyyyyy and weird and hypnotic, never heard a track quite like it. 7. Bermuda Triangle - Mooger Fooger (???) The opening track from one of Digweeds earlier MixCDs, a very pretty, bleepy, "the aliens are landing" type atmosphere. One of those tracks i keep on listening to, never gets old. 8. Inaqui Marin Feat. Yellow - Pictures (Regular) Sleazy Grooving Elektro Beat, weird spoken word sample that turns into blondie type female punk singing, and eurotrance like melodies make for a party-smasher!!!! everyone will go crazy!!!!! 9. Unity 4 - Body Dub (Tiefschwarz Mix) very cool trancy elektro house, typical tiefschwarz, what really gets me going here are the bleeping sounds, once you hear this bleeping, it'll be stuck in your head for days. 10. DJ Amiad feat Universal Voice - Careless Whisper The official Gay Satanic Hippies Theme Song, a gay remix of a gay song with an even gayer singer than the original singer, who was already incredibly gay. When you thought maximum gayness was reached, along came this song to teach you Boy George is a stonage macho.

word!! the remix is too "simplistic", a general problem i find in many beckes vtracks lately. too much booty, too little brain

i listened to the samples, and this album sounds focking cool!! its kinda like the tromesa/bigwigs sound mixed with platipus from "the classical era" as far as i can tell from the short samples, so AWESOME, im looking forward!!!

I agree with Basilisk, they compliment each other well, Ticon is more fun and psychedelic, PO is more edgy and dirtier, i voted undecided, but I think Im tending more towards Ticon, but I dont know yet

....yeah, yeah my dad has a bang&olufsen system, and i did a self experiment with cd, 320 and 192, i couldnt tell the difference between 320 and cd, with 192 i did hear a difference, but it didnt really bother me. anyways, about the eastern european thing, you forget moni that the labels have the same cost structure, no matter if they sell a record in the EU or in romania. its probably even more expensive for to sell in the eastern block, because of import taxes, higher mailing costs etc.... anyways, my point is most labels in this sceneare losing money as it is with the higher price, just imagine how it would be if they cut it. I know this sucks for people in poor countries, and it is unfair, but thats just economics. What you could do probably is press extra editions locally just for the romanian market, but as you say the scene is very small so this wouldnt make sense at all. edit: fluffy just explained it a lot better above anyways, I think mp3 stores are the way to go in the future, i decided for myself im not gonna buy CDs anymore, mp3s are just way more convenient and cheaper. and if something is not available in mp3 stores, theres always DC++.´

i personally dont like CDs, i was always a vynil person, now that vynils are gone its all digital to me. If an mp3 is 320 kpbs, I cant tell the difference, and anyone that says he can must be a true audiophile or full of shit. and all stores sell at 320 kpbs. and mp3s dont get scrtached, i have them on my computer conveniently to spin with my final scratch thingy, and i can make easy playlists without having to constantly switch cds. but, its personal taste, as always.
