well, I don't see what's wrong with the classification by years that's already been here. It seemed to work pretty well SMI²LE

"This type of music is exactly the right thing to this type of movies, something I've believed in for a very long time wondering why no one has done it before." yeah I agree, it's right for MOVIES, but not home listening... well, it could be if you took away the orchestra from the climax moments SMI²LE

and while we're at it... I found Fluke and Paul Oakenfold's tracks MUCH better than Juno. And that intro from Rob Zombie is a killer too, if only there weren't any vocals on it... SMI²LE

"goatrance" was a trendy term coined by mostly british lables selling out the music that was played in Goa in the early 90s. So of course music that was played before 93- 94 wasn't officially called "goatrance" because noone thought of the term yet!! But that doesn't mean in any way that it's less "Goa trance" (as in the trance played in Goa) than later stuff. IMO yes, What Time is Love was a pretty influential track that inspired much of what was later called "goatrance". So it wasn't realead by Blue Room or Dragonfly, so what? Another "not goa but Goa" track is A Split Second - Flesh done in... 1987!!! This one's labelled "industrial" because it was released on an industrial label (although I haven't heard a single industrial track that sounded even remotley like it, even by A Split Second themselves!!) but listen to the first notes and you'll instantly see where groups like Astral Projection got their inspiration from... SMI²LE

well actually I didn't like Juno Reactor's stuff on Matrix... goa mixed with orchestra music for those "climax" moments isn't my thing SMI²LE

I thought men wore dresses at goa parties? SMI²LE

errr, Cycles of Life is actually a pretty old Traswave track (from the time Transwave still existed....). I suppose Deedrah will pull up the same gimmick he did with Land of Freedom: take a good track and ruin it and put it on the album just so that people into Transwave before would buy it hoping to get some oldschool again... Anyway, I'm still waiting for the Transwave IV album... hope it won't be an album with remixes from old tracks... SMI²LE

yeah man Xenomorph is aive and kicking, his second album is MUCH better than his first IMO SMI²LE

what, you mean he's right when he says that it sounds good or when he says that you have to send him an e-mail? SMI²LE

well, I liked Zorba at first but I found that it got old really fast. SMI²LE

Beat Hackers are hackers who like hacking beats instead of computers SMI²LE my oh my am I feeling smart today :-)

"How about just using the old "turning the volume down" trick when you're DJ'ing?" yeah, and eventually during the break start rapping or something :-) SMI²LE

damn, some checking out of a previous review of Schlab 5 tells me that the classical music you hear at the end of Bergatrooper is "In the hall of the mountain king" by Edvard Grieg (guess my classical music culture is very low, eh...) and yeah I mentioned that Moodyne track a week ago, I didn't notice you read it cause I thought you barely came here after a long absence... where were you BTW? SMI²LE

"You know... I had a thing for her... from the start" sounds like a quote from just about any romantic movie... SMI²LE (sorry, I'm getting bored at home so I can't resist the urge of posting when I have nothing to say...)

oh and another one that will make em fall of their chairs: Ka-Sol - Bergatrooper on the Schlabbaduerst Vol. 5 compilation: around 5:25 it breaks down and you have a sample of... Tchaikovsky - The Nutcracker!!!! (I think so if my classical music culture is good enough...) SMI²LE

hey there dam10n!! long time no see!!! (oh and this is moondancer in case you were gone too long to witness my latest name change...) well, this isn't exactly what you asked for but a nice effect is the Windows error sound that comes right in the middle of the climax (around 4:00) in Moodsyne - Niwin, on the Hippies With Attitude compilation. It really freaks people out!! and another freaky one: Quasar - Give Peace a Trance on the How Weired Street Fare compilation... it starts out like a normal psy track except that around 4:00 you hear John Lennon singing "All we are sayiiiing is give peace a chaaaance". It really surprises people to hear it popping up like that :-) SMI²LE

of course that when you look at this site's review page you have: 633 Albums 766 Compilations 485 EPs 121 Chill-out releases (Albums + Comps) making a total of exactly 2005 releases... and keep in mind that there are a LOT of old (pre-1997) releases that never were added and that since this site was in "hibernation mode" during most of 2003, only a fraction of 03 releases are here... So I guess that we're all little kiddies with our 200+ collection... SMI²LE

ah so all those tracks I thought were unreleased Shpongle were in fact Younger Brother... daim, I totally blew my 5 minutes of glory :-( SMI²LE

"Why spend much money on tracks that are not good just to have a huge collection?" because tastes change... what you loved a few months ago, you'll probably find played out now and what you didn't like a while ago you'll love now. I just love it when I dig out an old CD I never really was into to find out it wasn't bad at all!! (such illustrious names come to mind like MFG, Juno Reactor, Element, etc.) SMI²LE

me: around 240 albums and comps (don't really like EPs cause they're too short...) Guess that makes me the big kahuna ;-) SMI²LE

well it depends on when he plays... his sets should fit in well around 10 AM or so... of course if they programmed him at like 2 AM, then I understand that the vibe didn't go well. SMI²LE

so did you like it? SMI²LE

it does? damn, I really should re-listen to old Shpongle then... I knew that there were a lot of In Dub tracks, but I had the feeling that there were more unreleased Shpongle on it... but I guess you're a bigger fan than me SMI²LE

oh and as a hint on how it generally sounds... there are more voices (especially the distorted singing voice from 7th revelation and the Younger Brother album... sorry Towelie...) and, of course, more dub oriented... but other than that it sounds like Shpongle al right :-) SMI²LE
