I like Tom Heasley! Does he count?

I just had my cheat day! Now waiting for the actual goods! But once I cheat, I feeling like cheating again and again and again until I am a big fat happy bastard with no money

To be honest I think it is like you said in the first post Lemmi, the music we first listened to when we first discovered what real music we liked just cannot be beat because we can never recreate that time. You're a teenager, all you've heard is pop and some stuff that your dad listens to but you don't give the time of day to because it must be "so uncool" then comes along some real music, nothing like you have heard before. It feels like magic in your ears and it seeps into your brain! Nothing will ever beat this. This is why our parents said what we loved was nothing compared to their music and it has happened to us! We have turned into old farts harping on about how much better the old days were. Kids getting into music these days have the same feeling about recent music as we did in the early 90's, come 2019 they'll be wondering why the music around then is not as good as the music being produced now. We will tell them they are both crap and it was the 90's that ruled! My sister will tell you the 80's my dad the 60's and I'm sure the old WW1 veterans still think the 1910's were the best time for music. I think highlighting this point is the track Optimum Creakage which I first heard at a party in 1995/6 and absolutely loved, but I never followed it up with repeat listens at home and I never heard it again until I bought dragonfly classics in 2000 sumat. Now all the other tunes like Hallucinogen's LSD, Genetic - Trancemission, Total Eclipse - Aliens etc I had on CD at home, listened to time & time again with my mates smoking weed & just having fun. When I heard these on Dragonfly Classics all the same feeling of Euphoria (just watered down) came back as happens when we listen to classics but I was disappointed by Optimum Creakage. I didn't understand at the time but now I think it is just that although it is a great Old School classic it just wasn't in my head as one so it never quite feels right. Like discovering old goatrance that you have not heard before, when you have 100s of classics already the new (old) discoveries are never as good! What we need is a mind eraser to wipe out ever having heard music so we could go through it all again

On Substance and phonokol. I have the Substance one, got it for $1 from amazon a couple of years ago. $20 in that link is not bad if it's a trustworthy seller!

I was sticking to uptempo! If there is time (long list) I might put in a downtempo/ambient list later edit: or maybe like others I didn't really read the first post and thought the thread was about just essential albums, not ones that need to be re-released I posted my list of things I hope would be re-released in another thread, I was being selfish though!

The quality is indeed shitty but I like the music, the chilled out D&B style always sits well with me

BOOM! It hits you just how great it is. For me this usually happens with, well just about every album. I buy it, I listen to it, I am generally unimpressed then I put it on the shelf. Months later I might try it again and suddenly it is great! How does it happen? Why didn't I hear the greatness before? Usually I think it is a question of mood, focus or the joint experience! I never liked Ishq - Orchid until I was sick with a fever, my then GF was out buying medicine for me & I was lying delerious in a darkened room with Orchid playing! I have never been so happy to be sick and now everytime I listen to the album I understand it in a way I never did before. Secede - Tryshasla was another album I bought tried and instantly thought was boring and uninspired, no matter how much I tried (I had heard good things). Then one day when in a more melancholic mood (bad things had happened) I gave it another sympathy spin and BOOM! It was the bomb. I absolutely loved it Rena Jones - Driftwood was just an average album for me until I took it down to Enoshima Island, sat out on the balcony of one of the bars, watched the sunset over Mount Fuji while reflecting off of the pacific ocean! It fit so well & its beauty just shone. I hated minimal for a while, I bought Planet BEN - Silver and thought what the fuck is this shit! Then when my brain was boxed in from some fun substances I could really explore the level of detail in it and it really opened the door for me to enjoy Minimal & Prog! In 2003 I bought VA - Wider Horizons, didn't like the remixes until just a few weeks ago when I got it out & played it back to back about 6 times. It was just amazing! Summer really makes that comp hit home nicely So what music have you initially disliked then grown to love? Do you remember a turning point or is it a special mood thing? I can add almost every ambient/prog/minimal album to the list. Some albums are still sitting on my shelf either ready to be understood or to remain relegated into the also rans!

Post number 33333! Pretty cool

I have an extra copy of the Khetzal album if you fancy it? BTW your inbox is overflowing

Love it or hate it? I just put in a saiko sounds order for Eat Static - Revisitation Sattel Battle - Barefoot Funk Bluetech - The Divine Invasion Brother Culture - Isis Celtic Cross - Hicksville - Remastered & Remixed Hallucinogen In Dub - Live Pete Namlook & Tetsu Inoue - Time2 Zen Lemonade - Babylondon Not expecting much from the Brother Culture album but it was only like 400 yen so I might be pleasantly surprised and either way it completes my LSD collection Edit: Except for the subsonar album it seems

Ah! Some very nice Summery stuff here. I have been listening to a lot of LSD releases now that the temperature has climbed above 30C and the rain has gone away

I have the re-release of that I'd like to see Woob - Woob 1194 UX - Ultimate Experience Ubar Tmar - Fusion Shakta - Silicon Trip S.F.X. - Rainbirds Yasume - Where We're From The Birds Sing A Pretty Song Etnica - The Juggeling Alchemists Under The Black Light Darshan - Awakening Aes Dana - Aftermath Atmos & Echö-Lab - Overlap re-released for no other reason than so I could own the physical media

I have a soft spot for Jairamji! I found that album so peaceful and warm. Sometimes I think albums hit you only at certain times but then never go away. The Jairamji album will always remind me of lying in a field of freshly cut grass in early summer, watching the clouds in the deep blue sky! After this kind of experience albums can bring back the emotions (although usually to a lesser degree) felt at the time. Shpongle was heard of my face so that always feels nostalgic. Even Leraine? Your taste is SO SHITE!!!! This album took me a long time to relate to, I know you have no ear for mood music but when I first really understood this album I was in a really melancholic mood! It's not pop in anyway so just listening to it 4 times wont allow it to reveal itself to you. It really is a mood thing (first time) then you can enjoy it at anytime.

I tend to agree, there are some essential releases that have come out in the last few years! I just don't agree with what you have choosen I think Jikkenteki - The Long Walk Home Jikkenteki - Flights Of Infinity Scorb - Scorb Luomuhappo - Pog-o-Matic Pogómen 3000000 V/A - Schizm Artifakt - Artifakt II BUS - Morebusinesslinkyouthere Jaïa - Fiction Principles of Flight - Nighttime Lullabies Gus Till - Best Of the Rhino Years (1 & 2) Sattel Battle - Sounds Cool Solar Fields - EarthShine Sienis - From A Nutter Perspective Crop Circles - Tetrahedron Principles Of Flight - Chaos Opera are essential releases from the last 5 years, love each and everyone of them, haven't tired of them and think more people should listen if they can!

I have absolutely fucked up hearing as I used to be the guy right by the speakers at any club or festival If you can purchase a good pair of headphones for yourself then you can really enjoy your music without cranking up the volume so much. I found with shitty headphones the louder the better but with a decent pair you can enjoy the fine details with the volume on a decent non-ear bleeding level! try this thread

You can tell a dumb pop boy fuck when he thinks anyone with different taste to himself is retarded! Just because you don't have the attention span to write anything longer than a few lines doesn't mean people who do are dumb (it means you are )

Is this clever spam or dumb promotion? There is a music promotion sub forum you know

Was just listening to Mai Mai! New Jaia album? Great

Ishq- Fluid Earth

Ooooohhh! Take the KURO! It's well worth it

I must listen to the REV album I have. I remember quite liking it then never listening to it again

His soul is dead! Maybe when he dies everyone will praise his professional abilities?
