Lemmiwinks

OK, so I was just randomly strolling through some old trance tunes on youtube and I stumble on this... like how the F... could I miss out on it??? The original Dream Universe is one of my trop normal trance tunes of all times, and remixed by one of my face trance artists of all time yihaaa! Well, just wanted to insert a link in case anyone else missed it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr-gffKnTso

well that's why you guys should read the 1990-1994 reviews section, there are many forgotten gems in there

of course I guess you already know that that track is a total rip-off from this, originally released in 1988 under the series of... Pure Trance EPs... http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNvgXJdZJZY

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFoaKeETWsI guess who this is?

woah man it feels like I'm on acid

well that's exactly it... when you read the title you'd expect something like Siddharta but it's VEEERY different

umm well to be honest the first thing that came to my mind when I saw that vid was "blimey, 20 years later it hasn't changed much"... I mean, of course the music is different, which is what you'd expect, but the overall concept, the blacklights, the decos, having darker stuff during the night and more melodic stuff in the morning is just the same as today. PS the track kicking in around 12:00 is Orbital - Omen, one of my absolute fave old trance records of all time YIHAAA!!

brand new free Excision mix, grab it while you can The X-Sessions Mix Vol.1

in case you haven't seen this already... I love the way they talk all scientific about it (although they got it pretty right IMO). And I'm sure it will bring some tears in the eyes of oldschoolers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMRMrefd_So

ok that's my new official WTF video of the year oh yeah, speaking of official videos, this one is my official laugh-till-you-crap-your-pants video of 2010: http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGKe_ekx_K8

dude it's a rap between a dictator who's been dead for over 60 years and an imaginary carachter... how could this be serious??? lol

OK, so after many years of postponing I've finally got around reading it and... I'm quite amazed. IMO this "novel" is nothing else than a trip report. All the "action" really seems like a group of people wandering on some psychedellic substance, otherwise it doesn't really make sense. Like for example it's called "Journey to the East" but they never actually head East, more like South-West (you'd expect India or China maybe but in reality they never get further than Spain). And they seem to follow real but also imaginary people like Don Quixote and the author mentions "journying through space but also time"... Plus, there are some passages that are REALLY intriguing like when he starts reading an old text, then realizes it's in greek carachters, and, even though he can read greek he then realizes that the more he focuses on the text the more unreadable it becomes until the carachters seem to become circles and flowers flying off tha page... if that's not tripping I don't know what is? lol I'm pretty amazed to see in amazon reviews and such that like 99% of the people completely missed the "right" interpretation... unless I'm missing it... So has anyone else read it? What are your thoughts?

LOL this is what happens when you make your cat sit on a subwoofer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmRTGRbrATs

oh yeah how could I forget that one

this is my new pick: pretty much annoyed the hell out of me when it first got out in the instrumental version, now it's coming back again with Beyonce on top: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxD_7S7bl8k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUhBVnSbaXY

well this is my personal pick: "can I help you... TO DIE? muahahaha!!!" http://www.youtube.com/user/UKFDubstep?blend=1&ob=5#p/u/28/-ou_7LfrZu8 which is yours?

nice pick... although those voice samples kindof ruin the vibe IMO Know any more such "spacy" tracks?

hmmm I think this is dubstep actually...

lol the second was was a remix as well, of The Prodigy And yes I totally agree with "Search long enough, you will find a gem in any turd pile.", should put that in my sign somewhere

FUCK YEAH!!! This one totally fucked up my brains! It's like the Psykovsky of dubstep http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlkDtrPjwLE

ok ok I know this is one of the lamest most commercial styles out there, still recently I've stumbled upon some tracks that were pretty darn good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTBtOIzVSGg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39kD8vtnciA what do you think? anything else out there worth paying attention to?

well as always it's a question of what exactly do you consider to be THE first: trance that has dark trance elements in it that eventually became a sub-genre of its own, or the actual first dark trance track. If you want the artists that defined dark trance as you hear it today, then it is Parasense. But they basically took the sound that was considered hip around their time to another level, and the sound that was considered hip around the turn of the century was X-Dream and various side-projects like The Delta, Midi Miliz, C.O.P. etc. And of course, they in turn took massive influence from the techno scene. Now on the OTHER hand, since trance parties always revolved around the concept of dark tracks during the night and more melodic stuff once the sun rises, there has been dark trance since the beginning of the scene, although it was a very different dark to what we consider dark trance today. Most of that took its influences from 80s industrial. Like this for example from 1996: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6PKdws8wa8 and even further behind (1992): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLl8qGNdLtM hope this answers your question

ok I admit I've seen it a few years ago so it's all a bit fuzzy in my mind now and since I was dissappointed by it I don't really feel like watching it again. Anyway I remember that they presented some far-out ideas that needed tremendous techical challenges like something that could be easily achievable in a few years, like for example replacing airplanes with high speed trains that travelled through vacuum tubes... Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the ideas aren't good, nor that they couldn't work in a few hundred years, just that there's a HUGE gap between ideals and real-life reality. I remember reading some books written in the 60s claiming that immortality was a goal achievable within a generation or 2. Well guess what, it never happened. And simply pointing out conspiracies for not letting it work is a bit too easy IMO... LOL I'm especially pointing out Marx, Socialism and Communism because it is those very same ideas that have been served again and again through generations under different names and that neo-hippie-alter-mondialists seem to cherish so much. And the way I see it, countries like Sweden didn't adapt communism to make it work, it's more like adapting capitalism, I don't think a single person in Scandinavia would say that their country is communist rather than capitalist. Ideals adapt, I agree (capitalism in 2011 is VERY different from capitalism in 1929, even in ultra-conservatory countries like the US), but from there to saying that capitalism as a whole is dying, sorry but no, I reckon it still has a few hundred years left... IMO real change will only come when mankind will master nanothechnology to the point of being able to create anything they wanted by simply pressing a button and I don't see that happening any time soon. NOT TRUE!!!! I am sorry but claiming that every economic crisis is due to a buch of greedy bankers who make a profit from speculating is as naive and ridiculous as claiming that hurricanes happen because God farts. I know that alter-mondialists and various anti-capitalist groups keep this argument dear to their hearts but it is FALSE!!! Please, get some economics 101 books, follow the financial media, do whatever to try to get a grasp on how the financial markets work and you will see just how false this argument is. But of course I guess you'll tell me that economics books were especially made to make you believe that it has something to do with the natural order or things, that is kindof akin to saying that God made fossils to make atheists believe in the theory of evolution. There is a point where you just cannot go further if you refuse to listen to logical arguments and just decide to keep your eyes shut. In the meantime I've done some background checks on the arguments presented and realized just how poorly-researched they were, thus losing a LOT of credit. Of course, I guess that this movie has at least the merit of making you see things through a different perspective but at the end of the day, if you are gullible enough to believe everything on face value without bothering to do some background checks then it does more harm than good to see it IMO. "I haven't read anything that really debunks the moral issue in Zeitgeist, nor the facts." then you are death and blind my brother (something else comes to mind but I'm trying to stay polite ). Again, there is a point where if you just won't open your mind to logic then you are lost and no amount of conversation will ever change that... hmm no, when the Roman empire died (Byzantine WAS part of the great Roman Empire...) then we were left with the "dark ages" when there was a general regression in human science, welfare, art etc... for ages. Leaman ,AIG felt,,,,,,,,,,,,,AIG,LEAMAN arise (this is NOT physical)with the money of americans,eu people nothing evolutianary happened hehe this kindof argument shows me just how little you know about the economic reality out there and, by consequent, how easily you adhere to non-logical arguments. Of course it is much easier to believe crap when you don't know better then to believe crap when you have a little background knowledge about the subject, that is human nature and is normal. What is not normal is to willingly refuse to gather some background information to check whether the arguments presented are actually true... (not going to explain what happened to AIG and "Leaman", I'll just let you read a bit on it )

YES!!! Finally a filthy dubstep track the way the used to do em: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z81xhqrtTVM
