Goa Bill

I guess Atmos' Headcleaner was very influential in forming the progressive scando sound.

Of course we have a rubber duck mascot. His name is Cinos

http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/vic/vic1cd678.html What's on the program: 1. A Goa legend once again hitting the cheese bottom. Check 2. Many many cheesy guitar riffs. Check 3. Eskimo remix. Check 4. Cheesy cover. Check 5. A full on remix to a Goa classic. Check :puke:

That would be Astrix

+1

Speaking about psychedelic peeing. From left to right Astrix (I wonder what he's hiding), Riktam, ABA Structure, Skazi and Duvdev

It's not online

Skazi made a joke track as well as a reply to Ticon's one. It's funny as well although not as funny as this one.

Don't quit your day job just yet

Just like your sense of humour

Very soon

This is actually better than some psy chill i've been hearing lately. Still dreadful though

Many questions here... I'll try to answer a few. I am a bit tired myself from reading and writing track by track reviews so i prefer to address to albums as a whole rather a collection of tracks. That is what an artist album for me. This album here is just a bunch of tracks they have written in the last few years. They don't have really a connection and they just come and go. Like a radio rather than a live/dj set, which is very important to me in Electronic albums. Don't agree with you regarding mainstream against psy trance production. To me most of mainstream productions sound much clearer and well produced but boring when comparing to the Goa and Psy trance albums that i've grown to like. Plot is the message of the album and the story. Can't find any of it here. As opposed to Classical Mushroom and BPEmpire that had it. Sensitivity is when you don't attack the listener from the first second with hammers in the head but develop the tune. They were doing it to some extent before and now it's a climax after a climax. The best example for sensitivity in their previous works are Symphonatic, Bust a Move and Roll a Giant. Nothing of these is felt through this album IMHO

Infected Mushroom for me are the Psy Trance equivalent of the Hollywood duo from the 80's and the 90's Don Simpson & Jerry Bruckheimer. They both seem to suffer some sort of an artistic megalomania, each in their field. For Bruckheimer & Simpson it showed up in their trademarked "let's blow as many cars/planes/space shuttles as possible, depict the craziest stunts and let's see if the crowd would love it regardless absolute lack of a plot or coherency" agenda. The dynamic Israeli duo's agenda is "let's put 300 hundred effects on Duvdev's vocal, pitch up everything and put some ridiculous hair metal riff behind and let's pray that the stupid American crowd will like it and vote for them on MTV TRL". Simpson's and Bruckheimer's dogma came into perfection in their 98 Armageddon movie. Although Simpson didn't participate in the making cause he died from drug addiction but his hot headed partner finished what must be their best work ever. A movie with absolutely no logic, sensitivity or plot but with lots of explosions and cult appearances by Peter Stormare and Steve Buscemi. It was their best and worst movie. Such work is IM's recent album. It has absolutely no plot, no story and zero sensitivity. What it has is Hollywood quality production that can make BT squeeze an embarrassed smile. It seems that the race on how much abuse Duvdev's vocal chords can take has finally reached the top mark. But where Armageddon succeeded this one fails. It doesn't deliver entertainment. It's not good in being bad. It's just an extremely well conceived product who's target market is yet to be found. It's a candy with a strange taste. The last time I've had the same feeling about an album was with BT's "Emotional Technology" album. The only difference between the 2 is that Duvdev is not on the cover with an Armani suit. And that's good. Final mark: 10/10 for the production and for the crazy ideas. 0/10 for everything else. If you got any brains in your head you'll go for something with more sensibility and plot cause not everything that shines is gold.

Yep, those are amazing tunes. Still can't listen to it from beginning to the end without getting a headache.

It's great. Reminds me The Gathering a lot with the roughness and the insane stream of ideas.

One of my favorite albums at the moment. Didn't connect to it at all when it was first released.

Now you'll need to buy a talent and connections and you're set.

The coating is just to fragile. Especially on those silver coated CDs like Shpongle 2, Shpongle 3 and the new Prometheus Happened to 2 Shpongle CDs i got (the 2nd and the 3rd) and i am not taking any chances with the Prometheus one. As it arrived I've ripped it and put it on my iPod.

Nope, cause bastards print on cheap ass discs.

Separated at birth?

Depends. My TDK CDR's will outlive some of my Twisted Records releases.
