  1. Well it got half the views it needed in 6 months. Maybe we can do it by the end of the year.
  2. So was this released yet? Nothing on Saiko
  3. POTS - Candy From The Strange Side A beach party! Hundreds of girls in bikinis dancing under the setting sun maybe somewhere in North Thailand
  4. It's a damn close poll! Slinky were great though, for me it was a tough choice
  5. I can understand not liking Ishq but this statement... ...just shows what an immature listener you really are! There are so many albums that are definitely mood pieces, you know you have to be in the right mood to enjoy them! A lot of ambient is too subtle with slight key changes and more emphasis on creating an atmosphere than a catchy hook so pop listeners like yourself will never get into it. Some people view their music as art, for me art is usually something that is adored by a very few people and either not understood or just disliked by most. For me art is the opposite of pop which is something a lot of people will just like. Art though often needs time to fully understand so when talking about music that requires a bit of focus. Just try it, try taking a CD you found was boring (not one you hated) relax, let yourself be distraction free in a darkened room, sit in a comfortable chair (or as you probably still live at home with your mum lie down on your wee single bed) and lets your mind drift through the music. This is how I came to love Ishq as before I felt pretty much the same as you but I was sick and I needed something to relax me so I put it on, there were no distractions and I have never been so happy to have been sick, I learned a valuable lesson. But then again you might be a terminal pop listener but most 15 year olds are similar to you so maybe there is hope!
  6. No but it sounds good from your description. The cover however looks awful
  7. Well the movie sub-forum is a lot more popular it seems but I struggle to think of many movies I have seen that are better than the book. I love descriptions that I can interpret in my own head, creat my own faces, places and expressions. Seeing someone else's image of the descriptions usually leaves me cold. Don't get me wrong, I love movies, they are much easier to digest and take much less time but I don't get so involved. When I read I often think deeply about the story & as it takes me much longer to read I think about it for longer (hence more deeply I guess) so I feel more involved. the only movie I can think that I preferred to the book was American Psycho just because I don't want such detailed descriptions of Phil Collins obviously I am not counting the kind of books that were written with a movie in mind. I saw at the bookshop the other day "Terminator Salvation" which I can guess is not a rivetting read. So what do you guys think? Is anyone here?
  8. I keep buying new books then re-reading my old ones before I get to them
  9. H.G. Wells - The Invisible Man woohoo! 100th post in this forum! This place is kicking
  10. I'd second Principles of Flight - Chaos Opera easily the best of the year so far in my book! Listened to it 30 times in a row and then gave it a break and it was still great! Good sign
  11. Are you a smart new bot or a totally fucked up coked up human? Your posts seem to have something to do with the topic title but nothing to do with the topic? Kick Bong - Cup of Tea you must be a bot right?
  12. At the moment I am reading 20世紀の少年 (20th century boys)
  13. Great! It does seem a wee bit quicker
  14. Hell yeah! Even if you hate SWM then you will still probably love this ace, mental, craxy track
  15. A nice review but it really would be nice if you started a thread with the album cover and album stats; album cover name etc!
  16. I always thought of it as Psytrance with broke the mold and experimented with more crazy sounds. Probably it evolved in to the Suomi style. Always thought of Matsuri Productions & Psy Harmonics to be quite experimental
  17. I had a look the other day but the few things I am actually missing, they are also missing
  18. Nunc Stans - The Palm At The End Of The Mind Just bought the book named after the poem that this track was written about. A book of collected poems by Wallace Stevens. A very nice bleak atmosphere to both
  19. Some books just beg to be re-read though I am reading Haruki Murakami - After Dark at the moment and I really feel like I will read it again. The atmosphere when reading it is brilliant
  20. How is the new slum? Are the tracks a feast of Engrish?
