Jikkenteki, definitely.

Good news!

With that logic you could very well argue that songs don't beat each other off either. That won't get us anywhere. We have to be a little stupid to get forward. So I'd say no, there's no classical music with that beefy squelchy bass and rhythm and those soaring arpeggiated melodies.

I don't have Ableton but I could write the killer melody (everyone wants to do that) in MIDI. You know the fast 16ths Pleiadians style one.

Trentemøller - Kink. In the year 2006.

Thanks mate.

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xe1n_karahana-ganey-huga Does anyone know the song that starts banging at 5:37 in Karahana? I think the song starts earlier but this is when the main groove starts.

Procs and Para Halu.

I must have that track!!! Spade you say?

The bassline is pretty deep too. But whatever, I see what you mean.

Haven't you noticed that almost all psytrance has that? Are you DISAPPOINTED because a psytrance album has a heavy 4/4 kick drum in every track?

I am a freak. I am unique. THAT'S CHEESY OK?

Like 3. Psytrance like 0,25.

I prefer speakers since very little music is made for headphones. When you hear sounds coming from the very far right or left, you don't hear it only with one ear. You'll hear a slightly muddy and late version of the sound with the other ear. When listening with headphones, sounds intended to play right on speakers come out very dull. This is because with, your only way of determining direction of sounds (in a speaker-optimised mix) is by volume in the respective earcups. That's how it is but my way of explaining it probably sucks.

What is "psychedelic"?

abasio: your reviews are well written, but I can't make out if this is psytrance, ambient, chillout, IDM, glamrock or classical music. You might try to add some more musical terms in your descriptions.

Mindbender: It's impossible to help someone who refuses to download illegaly. It would be so much easier if you could just download all of those albums, listen to them, and then decide which ones are worth buying. We don't know your taste as well as you do.

Thirtytooth?

It was a joke, and SWIM means "someone who isn't me". Get some chillmood, d00d.

And this is were SWIM would say "are you on crack or smth, d00d?"

Ever hear of the "loudness war"?

Boomboxes use (at least used) to have "loudness" buttons. It's not needed anymore since all popular music is already heavily limited. A whisper is a whisper. It's made to be silent. If you want a loud record, that should be fixed during mixing to avoid "pumping" and weird artifacts. But there's no reason for wanting a loud record in this scene. It's just a stupid obsession carried over from uneducated idiots. Music is a whole lot about the dynamics between silent and loud, and this is a major way of creating tension.

So you want music to sound loud, even when it's not meant to? A whisper loud as a scream? A peaceful string intro as loud as a storming metal climax? Thing is; you can easily make your music loud using a limiter, but there's no way to undo limiting already done. You'll buy a CD and it's squashed. No fun.

You don't really need a "good soundsystem" to hear that the climax is as loud as the one or two layered intro. You can use something like Audacity to prove your point. Mike A: If you read my post thoroughly, you'll find that I hold the opinion that dance music in general is made to be loud, and not to have a full dynamic range like opera music. However, Suntrip mastering goes beyond the sensible. One thing left to add: If you want higher volume, there's usually a volume knob, button or slider. You don't need the music to be constantly loud. I have to add though, that there are far worse examples in this regard. Mindsphere album, for example. Horribly squashed. And one more: I'm judging Suntrip mastering from the CD "Twist Dreams" which is the one I've listened to. I used this thread just because it was active. I'm sorry if this mastering fault has been corrected since that release.

Don't talk to me like a to a baby. Suntrip conforms to the modern "standards" of uber-loud maximised music. Sure, dance music was made to sound loud compared to something like opera. But not devoid of dynamics. If you say something like "switch soundsystem" you're seriously dumb. If Suntrip music sounds squashed to the max, and old school goa doesn't... You can't say my speakers are less eager to play Suntrip releases well. Speakers are just a stale dumbnut technical device. They play the soundwaves. They don't compress it. There is someone compressing Suntrip releases though. BTW: The usual common agreement is that better soundsystems do a better job at "exposing" faults in music production. Mastering included. PLUR out.
