"Indidginus, a collobration of Michael Martin and Colin Bennun is definetly not the most famous group out there. I for one have never ever heard of them before, but lets not let that bother us. " What the... how much time have you been on this forum traveller? Indidginus was the dude behind the Quacken and the toaster things on this very forum!!! Shame on you!!! Just do a search on the off-topic forum and look for "Mike Indidginus". Other than that, nice review ;-) SMI²LE

well, we can still criticize, can't we? I mean, by your reasoning, if you go in a restaurant and pay for a gourmet meal and it tastes awfull, you can't complain unless you know how to cook? Or if you buy a Swiss watch that doesn't keep time acurately, you can't send it back to the store unless you make your own watches that are more accurate? Or when Bush bombs Iraq, you can't complain unless you're capable of winning a presidential campaign for US president? Well gee, I guess noone would complain about anything anymore... SMI²LE

yeah but what about the artists who made goatrance what is was and release stuff today that is pure crap? I'm talking about Tsuyoshi Suzuki, Total Eclipse, Astral Projection, Bilbo Bagginz (Cosmosis),...? SMI²LE

well, for your information Gore, that's what people in Belgium thought too about a belgian psy forum untill about 150 cops turned out at a psy party and checked everyone for drugs... you never know who's reading this stuff. SMI²LE

that sounds soooo cheezy... SMI²LE

yes but some of us english-forum users like to be chique ;-) SMI²LE ok, this is getting nowhere...

ah yes but let's not forget that if English is the most universal language, French remains the chiquest international language ;-) that said, bare in mind that the most spoken language in the world isn't english as most would presume, but Mandarin Chinese!!! PS "TOI DOI=SPACE TRIBE" WTF??? Those 2 don't sound even remotely alike... SMI²LE

CPU - Beach in Japan ROFL!!! mixing Alphaville with psytrance hehehe SMI²LE

OK, I went a little overboard with that staement, but I hold my beliefs that at least 80% of good artists are massively into drugs... but I do agree with Automath's statement on "spirituality", drugs are somehow a way of "tuning into" that "other world", others (VERY few) do it naturally, and still others suffer from temporal lobe epilepsy but I guess that this topic has already been overdone so I'll just stop here SMI²LE

ah come on EP, it's been such a long time since we haven't had any "non-english" posts... SMI²LE

1)What kind of drugs do u take? - extacy, LSD, rarely marijuana and even more rarely alcohol and cofee 2)How often do u take drugs? - I have a self-imposed limit of once every 2 months max 3)At what age did u bering taking drugs? - depends... I started smoking and being drunk at 13- 14... 17 for marijuana, 22 for acid and exctacy, 23 for cocaine... 4)How much money do u sepnd on drugs per month? - well that would be something like 10- 20 euors every 2 months 5)What do u think about ur life at the moment? - it would be good if I found a job... other than that it's pretty cool 6)What is ur dream? - directing a pension fund from the Cayman Islands ;-) 7)Do u have family(wifehusbandkids) - yep, I'm married!! 8)How old are u? - 23 9)Which kind of drugs u would never take once again? - cocaine 10)Do u think drugs are not forever in ur life? - hahaha you must be joking :-) Once I retire, I plan on taking massive amounts of psychedellics!!!! SMI²LE

Lmao @ Gore. EA: if you know so much about Dali, you should also know that he (and most surrealists for that matter) was notorious for making fun of the people interviewing him. I recall a poem he wrote in which he was telling a potential buyer that his long mustache acted as an antenna that captured waves sent by another world and that after that he painted what he "recieved". A good artist always needs a good story behind his work to sell it... ;-) SMI²LE

Guns don't kill people. People kill people. oh wait, this was supposed to be a topic on drugs ;-) SMI²LE

non mais je vis dans la partie francophone de Belgique ;-) "chacun son style meme dans le meme artiste " ouias, chuis d'accord avec toi SMI²LE

ben moi je dis que la meilleure reste toujours Replicant ;-) SMI²LE

so then with less than a month to go I think it's safe to say that we won't get anymore groundrbeaking releases this year... so then, what are your top 03 picks? (bare in mind that you have to give a good idea of the realeses over the WHOLE year, not just last month's top 10, even though I know everyone has a tendency of giving priority to new releases) me (depending on the mood I'm in): 1. Dino Psaras - Perpetual Night Party 2. Scatterbrain - Infernal Angels 3. Younger Brother - The Receptive 4. Electrypnose - Pleureuse 5. Nissimyami - Peyote (yeah yeah I know it's cheezy...) 6. MWNN - Axis Flip 7. Dynamic - DJs on Pills 8. Talamasca - Scorpio 9. Broken Toy - Devil's Playground 10. Squaremeat - Yksinäinen Ratsastaja SMI²LE

"one song is very strongt" That must be Replicant :-) SMI²LE

E-watt records only sells it on it's site (probably to rake in higher profits cause that way the don't have to "share" with distributors). "is his 2nd album good and is it in the same style as the firts one?" it's in that same stile all right, but something's missing, mostly the freaky melodies... you still get the powerfull bassline but that's just not enough IMO SMI²LE

EA but maybe they get the initial idea when high and then "polish it" when sober? To answer your question, no I haven't created much when high OR sober (I see myself as more of a financier than an artist BUT when high I have already had these really really creative ideas that I wouldn't have had in a million years if sober. Now, if I had mastered some form of art (music creation, writing, drawing...) the first thing I would've done the next day was to represent whatever came to my mind, alas, I don't have any of the skills (well, maybe writing, I'm still thinking about that one). Anyway, for a more concrete example, if you see "LSD- A history of getting high" documentary (you can watch it in realplayer stream here: http://www.crrh.org/hemptv/docs_lsd.html) , you'll see at one moment Ken Kesey himself saying that he had written a LOT of the stuff in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest when high on acid, and as you know, it became one of the best books by a contemporary american writer so... SMI²LE

something which has such a long review has to be good, I'll buy 10!! ;-) SMI²LE

no, actually that's called bargaining: "I REALLY REALLY love this but *maybe* I'll let it go for the right amount of money." and then the other one says "Here, is 1 million dollars enough?" and then she replies "Ummm... no, I think I'll keep it...." and then the other says "Wait, wait, how about 2 million??" "Ah well, I suppose you could have it for 2 and a half..." ;-) SMI²LE

I found that his latest album Sustentator got old really really fast... guess it's really hard to make a good follow-up album when you've set the bar so high... SMI²LE

"Holy crap, no wonder they call this music 'psychedelic' - it makes me hallucinate!" ah yes, I had that feeling too. However, when I did drugs I thought "Now I REALLY understand why they call this music 'psychedellic'". EA: that's a bunch of nonsense... you know which artists create without using drugs? Those who aren't famous and are forgotten by time... but like I said, don't take my word for it, read and you shall see... start with: The Road of Excess : A History of Writers on Drugs by Marcus Boon then try Under the Influence : The Literature of Addiction by Rebecca Shannonhouse and then come and tell me that artists are perfectly able to create without drugs... SMI²LE

"last weekend i went to see the doors live @ brussels, that were the best two hours of my whole life !!!" well blimey, I thought that Jim Morrison was dead for 30 years now... SMI²LE

don't take my word for it, AutoMath, just go to your local library and borrow some books on the biography of famous artists and tell me what you think... Gore: "Have u ever heared such a statmnet that ART is usless thing. Absolutely useless - it is just a waisiting of time. It is not my words. It is just like this. Every artist agrees with this statment." Well, I doubt YOU find it's useless cause then you wouldn't be listening to psy in the first place and complaining that the scene is going down the drain. If you found it's useless, you would be complaining instead about all the wasted workforce that's getting high at parties instead of having a 9-5 job and playing their role for society. "Even i stopped taking drugs, i haven't lost my creativity at all." aren't we feeling a little pretentious today? unless you're the dude behind Parasense I doubt I ever heard about your work... when high or not... "The one thing is that all famous people had something inside, and drugs were just an addtion to this something(talent)." yes, but maybe drugs are the stuff that brings out that special something and without it it will be forever burried inside? Maybe Herman Hesse would've been just another average Joe, working in a bakery all his life and dying in a forgotten corner if he never tried drugs? How many talented people are there in the world right now who are too busy working in a 9 - 5 job to support their families instead of getting high and getting in touch with their creativity? SMI²LE
