some months are good months, earning 3000+ Es... nothing to take care of more than myself and three cats makes for ample record-nippin'!

2464 pieces according to discogs. 1000 CDs 1500 Vinyls, like that. This is quite a meager collection though... but I'm still having trouble comprehending people with more than 4000 pieces as I'm having trouble sorting through my own records as it is. Have 2 crates of records that has yet to be listened to, have records I bought more than a year ago and still haven't come around to listening to it.

it's always very very different from month to month but I usually stay, at least, at about 150 euros. But I would not be surprised if I've gone above 500 euros some months. It all depends also on what music is getting released, shopping at decks is very hazardous for my bank account for example. A lot of new interesting releases every week. It's been long time since shopping second hand, these days I simply do trades with second hand stores. Last trade was roughly 80 crap records for a bunch of hopefully better records , found the Pleiadians - Alcyone single sided promo in there too (with a 3 euro price tag!?).

hmmm, that's pretty decent mastering. The track is rather sparse though... and very dated.

yeah sorry! posted without thinking. I'll give your link a listen shortly, I'm going through an album right now. Actually, the tracks I've heard from The Nuns and Boris have all been nicely mastered, of course I don't have all their productions so I might have missed something.

Subcouds - Greenflow Hux Flux - Bring Your Own Bios I wonder if it is only the vinyls though... probably they sound a bit cleaner on the CDs. But isn't that one of the main ingredients of old goa, a bit of shoddy mastering? oh crap... I'm in the Other Electronica forum...

I haven't read music theory and my stupidity is obviously beyond my comprehension. Even your response here escapes me. Might I then try a different tact. First of all let me just apologize for having hi-jacked the thread, I hope helium did find and is still exploring the intricacies of the dubstep genre. I'd rather suggest getting to know a bit of UK Garage as well (Locked On was a popular label, and artist El-B was kind of a lone genius back then). Second, when it comes down to figuring out whats intelligent or not is probably impossible. Why am I saying that classical music is intelligent? If I might give an example. I've tried my very best to listen to The Well-Tempered Clavier but having enormous problems getting through even one of the pieces. Why am I having this much trouble? I quite frankly do not having the slightest clue, I do not understand the music, my stupidity blocks the path that other more intelligent people can tread! It's frustrating when I get by music that I simply do not understand. Autechres Exai just went over my head, tried it and am having the same problem there. The music is suppose to be good but I am not enjoying it, I don't know why. I can only explain this by the fact that it might simply be beyond my comprehension. Third, if I take a counter-example like that of Justin Bieber or Avicii I can _understand_ why I am not enjoying their music. It's a product, they're _acting_ following a script by their producers/managers/label-bosses. Thusly the end product is generally devoid of soul and content. Simplicity before creativity.

IDM is a rather unfortunate term, but you are ultimately right that it is not a big deal at all. I come of as pretty snide in a couple of comments above, ultimately I have to apologize for that. The only genre that I can think of as genuinely intelligent, better still to say forward thinking exploratory and creative in a sense, is classical music. Where time signatures are not always fixed and generally where you have an ensemble of elements coming together and that keeps shifting. Modern music to me is very boxed in, there is not much adventure mode here as a track of techno without it's 8 bars of 4 by 4 for intro another 16 bars loop another 8 bars as a bridge or break 16 bars again would get smashed immediately by critics and DJs because you would not be accustomed to either listen to it or use it in sets. Unfortunately when we claim a musical piece as intelligent, we set it above other productions in a condescending matter. I'd rather say that I like my music funky, groovy, spiritual, dreamy. I mentioned stuff I liked as underground a few times but it just came of as vague and elitist sounding to the point that I simply chose to stop proclaiming the music I listen to as underground. If someone askes me what I listen to these days, I tell them that I pretty much listen to all kinds of music.

whatever "starts" is... that is.

what you are saying right now rotwang is quite literally the most humbling thing ever... for something to start does it not need time? time just becomes relevant when something starts? could you suggest me some literature in this subject?

hello radi!

why would it not be meaningful to talk about the time (whatever!?) before big bang? our universe as it is now just started at random from absolutely nothing!

it's annoying that people still in modern times has the capacity to oppress opinion and free expression. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uganda_Anti-Homosexuality_Act,_2014 <--- what the fuck... just an example actually that's not annoying, it is preposterous. sorry for being off topic!

I'm starting to feel depressingly stupid right now... hah! the ice-cream gif above sums me up nicely.

I'm probably just misunderstanding the concept of time. And on top of that asking the wrong the questions.

1) Time progresses(?) 2) How can it be both? So time is also just a by-product of the big bang... does pre-time exist? 3) I can't grasp forever/infinite... it took an infinite time for me to be born!?

one very important thing mentioned above. we were very unaware about the real life, everything was just a game. I'm 30 this year and really, I still love every second of my life. But the innocence and game playing life of my minor years were a bliss. But should we really start worrying just because we grow old and become indepedent? Keep on playing dudes and dudettes.

@Tatsu "ah! you are still on. my sincerest apologies for not replying in an ordered matter in the topic, thused made a reply a month and a half after your last post in the topic." I'm right now reading the sequel World Without An End.

I dunno... this was too heavy for mee drinkin' mind. Though I do have a drunken point to innit. Something I always wondered about reality is the fact that time doesn't make any sense whatsoever. In order to make time run forward (or whatever it does) it has to be continous. Nevertheless our universe has not been continous, it started at some point. Though the problem here is that I can't figure out how the fuck we came to be at all if we could go infinitely back in time. It would thusly take an infinite amount time for the universe to come into existence. Which is impossible because we are here... no? So... what started the reality?
