Basilisk

Yeah um... it's frothing-at-the-mouth mad and doesn't make much of a point so much as it expresses a vapid viewpoint about the Evil Empire. There are actually people out there who would be happy if the government were going around implanting chips in people's hands so they could stand up and loudly proclaim through a rat's nest of dreadlocks "SEE? SEE? I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG!" So anyway, I'm all for combining videos with psytrance of course, but this is kind of dumb and sloppy. It's probably been said here already but that's the most full-on killllargh video mish-mash I've seen, so in a sense it suits the music... but on the other hand, is flawed in analagous ways.

Yes, exactly, that's it! Once again: TORAKKA my review

Putting this on a .torrent seems to have been really effective - there are 11 seeds online right now, and transfers are churning at over 250k/s. Close to 30GB has been transferred in three days and you know how much this costs? $0!!! Nick, perhaps you aren't setup right... this is definatly moving now! Keep rockin'...

Why not? It would help to sort the dreck. I write reviews of unreleased tunes for myself to refer back to. They're usually in the form of a two word "don't bother" but some go on

Are you sure it wasn't psyshop's russian subsidiary?

Crop Circles promo goes for that much? And to think I just unloaded one for 15 bucks... jeez guys, it's a fucking PROMO... they suck. I wish I didn't have -any- in my collection

Are we remixing remixes now? Perhaps you'd like to unsuckify X-Noise's remix to The Delta...

That sounds wrong... mine has a very nice colour cover.

It's interesting this came up, as I am reading some early-90s tomes with a general focus on San Fran and "house music" and the thing that keeps coming up is 120 bpm = heartbeat in the womb... turn the room into a womb, and all this. It's also amusing that the tone of the excepts on the speed of house music keeps defending how "fast" it is i.e. "it may seem fast but..." and here I am thinking of 150bpm killllargh. Here I thought that 145 was double the healthy heartbeat, so one beat is <in> and the other beat is <out> with the heart... still, to this day, I remember the entrancing effects of Acupuncture's Reality Conflict on V/A Psybration with the breathing atmospheres and just how much of a trance you can get into when you're surrounded by that, out at an event, dancing your ass off. There is a fractal feedback loop involving the physical exertion of dancing, an endorphin rush, and pushing your heart rate up to the speed of the music. I don't think you can really say it's not 'trance' just because it isn't slow and repetative. Higher more active music can be entrancing too, depending on the specific quality of the material at hand.

Sounds fun

Another thread like this without a mention of Torakka?

It's so hard to choose - I dig them all... TIP is where it was at! The development is unparalleled.

Dude, you're doing it again - back to your old ways. I second Magnetrixx - Phase Shift! Great album...

BitTorrent time! http://www.ektoplazm.com/tracker/torrents/...06)_MP3.torrent Let me know it works okay and be sure to seed to increase transfer rates for all!

Cuz I've had zero responses to this topic (beyond this) anywhere I posted it I know the magazines are out there...

Not everyone's on the internet, and not everyone participates in forums/mailing lists... so scene-wide generalizations aren't really all that accurate (thankfully).

Any more?

Yeah, there are some real rarities on the list that I'm surprised no one has grabbed yet If I don't hear too much more from people I'm going to eBay the lot of them next week or sometime soon.

It's been ordered... these guys are always good for out-of-the-ordinary dancefloor stormin' madness.

I guess he likes the taste of his own feet :|

Well, they do have some good singles lying around here and there... personally I'm still a big fan of Mental Poison. I suppose I'm mainly speaking of albums however, since there's like six of them

The question is - do you think the guys from Logic Bomb have done anything as great as Headware? I listened to it again after such a long time away and really... here's an album full of completely distinct tracks, each with a particular character. The sound is sooo richly psychedelic at times, it's really something else. I flipped through Unlimited and some of the new ones from Z-Man and Tranan and didn't feel anything like it. What do you think?

Weird... well, at least I noticed before I went and burned this to play out... the CD I'll be using for gigs is the right volume

All the volume levels are around 50% on my CD... same goes with the mp3s I downloaded prior to purchase. Funny I didn't notice then, but when I checked - sure enough! It's not a big problem - just wondering if anyone else has it or what...

What's with the volume levels?
