"Is this part of the site down or is it just me? " It's part of the site down :-( They say that one day there will be a 2nd version of the site where all reviewing will be automatically updated... but hopes of seeing the 2nd version completed are pretty dim at the moment... SMI²LE

yep the Prometheus album has been "pre-released" at the end of 03 (check out the review on www.trance.net) but for some reason it's still not in shops... I don't understand, do they want to wait till everybody has it in MP3 format?? What's the use then?? SMI²LE

mmy gf likes deep penetrating cocks too SMI²LE

well it seems to me that there are as much non-commercial artists as commercial ones... Don't see what's the difference between this line-up and one at, say, Samothraki or Voov?? I'd like to be there SMI²LE

so like what amount of vocals would make it a vocal track?? Basically EVERY psy track has at least a sample in there somewhere... and psytrance with too many vocals isn't really psytrance now is it? (ie. , IM - I wish, Medecine Drum - Funk Chakra...) SMI²LE

http://planet.nana.co.il/redrum/IM.html not in the same category as Divine Moments of Truth but fun nonetheless SMI²LE

"He's from France indeed, but he lives in Spain." LOL the question was why he had a BELGIAN IP adress!! BTW Neuromotor: maybe try mailing all the other artists that are signed by the label and see if they got their money? Maybe try a syndicated act where you all refuse to have your stuff released by Arcadia? Hope you enjoy your stay in Belgium SMI²LE

Different people have different tastes and that's that... Why are AP making stuff that sound like a slightly more complex form of Nu-NRG when they were making deep complex goa 10 years ago? Why are talented artists like Etnica, Dado and Absolum (former Transwave) and Graham Woods simply copying today's simplistic and uninteresting style of psytrance instead of making the masterpieces they did 10 years ago? I don't think anyone has an answer to those questions... SMI²LE

well this actually happens with every music genre: first you have a handfull of very skilled artists making a certain type of music out of passion. Then more and more people like it, more and more people talk about it and more and more people start producing it. So music of lesser and lesser quality is churned off at ever increasing speeds... It happened to techno, it happened to "normal" trance, it happened to jungle, it happened to hardcore... so it was logical that one day it was gonna happen to psytrance as well. It's odd cause in a way the scene is thriving and more alive than ever cause more and more people are involved, on the other hand it becomes harder to find quality stuff... SMI²LE

First of all, I never found psysex to be THAT good... second of all I found that Come in Peace doesn't differeciate itself significantly from the army of israeli clones to be bought into consideration... sorry if i sound a bit too harsh... SMI²LE

"both Transwave albums" actually Transwave has 3 albums "yah that Skazi album was awfull..." not that bad if you listen to it LOUD, it took me a while to get used to their style but now i find it's pretty good!! SMI²LE

not that it's bad and I'm happy that some new artists still make oldschool (contrary to oldschool artists that find it more interesting to copy today's style...) BUT the album doesn't come close to established oldschool references like Dancing Galaxy, Alien Protein, Cosmology, Nasha, etc. and even newer stuff like Ra and Dimension 5 seem way better in comparison IMO So what do you think? SMI²LE

"why do you say that? " well, maybe because 90% of today's new releases are full-on instead of 90% minimal like it was the case between 2000 and 03? Of course nothing completely dies (just look at oldschool and Ethereal) but it slowly fades away... SMI²LE

good if you like groovy housy minimal (actually I think they were one of the last representatives of this dying genre). I didn't like it at first but with all the copy-paste "full-on" we're getting these days, it's a welcome change SMI²LE

well actually X-Dream's style evolved a lot through the ages. They started with oldschool but with an unique production, somehow it was "calm" sounding compared to your usual oldschool with a hundred screaming 303s. Then their sound moved from oldschool with a twist to a very original style in Radio. Some (like me...) call it the album that started the whole minimal trend, others consider it to be dark descrete melodic, anyway like it or not, Radio is a milestone in the history of goatrance. Then they moved up a notch with Irritant which is basically noisy psytekk and isn't that original in its sound compared with their other albums IMO... So all in all, personally I never really liked their sound (whatever the period), unless I'm in a particular mood and then I find it's pure genious. But then I play the album (track) again the next day and I think "nah, it isn't that good". SMI²LE

"tracks with a sexual beat" what the hell is that supposed to mean??? SMI²LE

just to help our little aussie friend here : 40 AUD = 30.45 USD = 24.27 EUR 30 AUD = 22.84 USD = 18.21 EUR 20 AUD = 15.22 USD = 12.14 EUR 15 AUD = 11.42 USD = 9.10 EUR 10 AUD = 7.61 USD = 6.07 EUR in case you want to convert to more currencies, feel free to use http://finance.yahoo.com/m3?u SMI²LE

i prefer when it's PROGRESSIVE WRITING SMI²LE

there is no music that sounds like The muses rapt, that's why we're all desperately waiting for a new album from him SMI²LE

"I've mailed him several times without responce." yeah that's what makes him a HIPPIE SMI²LE

well the dude obviously doesn't take himself seriously The comment I like best is on progressive: "Alright this progressive nonsense has to stop. You do not make yourself intelligent or creative by using that word. Instead you make yourself out to be haughty and pretentious. That makes you no better than the french. This goes for progressive rock, progressive house, progressive trance, progressive progress and even progressive itself. Kill the word already. It means nothing." LOL!! SMI²LE

Thanks for this re-link. I've visited this site about 2 years ago but I see that in the meantime it has been seriously upgraded. And some of the comments make you roll on the floor laughing!!! SMI²LE

well I guess not much people know this track SMI²LE

"Much simpler than stock options." to you maybe SMI²LE

I think IM also did a remix of Hallu's Gamma Goblins... SMI²LE
