Did someone say "hoover?"

Usually I would think "female girlfriend" is redundant, but maybe not with this crowd!

That's the best thing in this thread... aha...

Ever heard of "rip & burn?" It's all part of the proper care of your treasured CDs. A few quick reasons why all DJs should use burned CDrs: 1) if you lose your case somehow it's just hassle to replace the goods, not devastating 2) original CDs need to be stored inside a jewel case (with all the teeth) in an upright position to prevent the accumulation of dust and other material 3) "binder wear" i.e. the stress and strain incurred by flipping through and bending pages in a case will eventually cause some CDs to snap into pieces 4) the environmental conditions found at many gigs go way beyond what the media was manufactured to withstand! Essentially, it is up to you whether you want to enjoy the music you love for mere years, or entire decades play it safe, I say.

I can help with a direct download too Mirror: http://www.free604.com/files/cybernetika/C...ion%20-%202007/

Iboga: releasing lots these days, but their quality control and sense of adventure have slipped. DS: slow-burning but extremely high-quality releases... it's like everything they do is a 10 or close enough that it doesn't matter.

This morning I woke up and heard what has got to be the worst "psytrance" cover ever made: Shanti's take on Alice Cooper's Poison, with Michele Adamson singing the vocals! Horrifying!

Nice one... as a fellow science fiction fan I can really appreciate the intent I have posted the album to my site: http://www.ektoplazm.com/audio/cybernetika...work-expansion/

Sure, opinions are just opinions... but some people are better informed than others, more insightful, and better able to communicate their vision. It's a good set of guidelines anyhow

Hmm, I can't find it in the "DJ promotion" area... well, there's always my site http://www.ektoplazm.com/audio/heliocentric/

My version of the same 1. Hydrophonic vs Commercial Hippies-Memory Banks 2. Hydrophonic - Memory Banks (Live) 3. The Commercial Hippies- One Cuckoo (live) 4. Sim1 & The Commercial Hippies-To Cool 4 Fuel 5. Aphid Moon - Pan 6. Silver Surfers-Freestyle 7. Protoculture-Peek A Boo 8. Protoculture-Contract 9. Ghost-Architextures

No no, if anyone clicked on the link in the post above to visit Wirikuta they would have been "in session"... just to be helpful I added 10 copies of Full On Turbo Blast to whoever is ordering with that ID

I only found out about it last week after doing some research into FSOL history... praise slsk! Another oldie I came across: Jaydee - Plastic Dreams. I sort of wonder why no prog-psy guy has given that one a rinse. Slightly different subject, but it was amusing to stumble across a Domestic rmx of "Power of American Native"... I know some of you remember that one. Now add a full-on Israeli bass line. In all honesty, it is not as bad as it sounds...

Haha... you goofballs passed on the session ID in the link you were exchanging. Drop back to their homepage and start your order fresh: http://www.wirikuta.at

Blame the atoms

I have the new Kiwa single in near similar shape, but the split only runs down one side it's baby pac man disco cat! RARE BROKEN DISC! COLLECTORS ITEM!

Thank you for the very (!) detailed comments... yes, you totally get what I was trying to do here Peace.

OMGWTF... first time I have heard stuff from this guy.

No, you can add a cover while submitting a release in the first place. I could complain about Discogs a bit myself, but it's still the #1 source of info for release details... just waiting on their eventual API release.

Agreed... the liner notes are lacklustre, but the release is good, and still worth owning.

Sounds good... I'm glad you guys are using Beatport for original/exclusive tunes released on digital EPs; I'll keep an ear out...

Tower Records still exists?! This really is something from another era!

Sound quality is certainly a big part of the problem, but I also find the skills of composition and arrangement lacking in many releases. I tend to hear a lot of these tracks that just knock out aggressive beats in near-random sequences with crazy noises all over top (Cosmo and Highko have taken this to an absurd extreme). How many producers bother to set a mood, build a story, or inject their creations with any kind of artful purpose? A lot of it is just attitude and posture... bad-ass project names and evil song titles, scary samples, extreme BPMs, a competitive harder-than-thou ideology. Darkpsy is like the punk rock of psytrance! Again, I feel as if I should state I really enjoy the dark side. I could go on and on about the merits of Ghreg on Earth for example. Now there's an intelligent artist with a sense of purpose! All these kids releasing killer filler on compilations simply can't compare. Lastly, saying that most darkpsy releases are better than most full-on releases really isn't saying much at all

Thanks... that's the idea... and I'm glad you like it! Peace.
