Green Nuns of The Revolution! I sweated seratonin out of my eyeballs when i first heard rock bitch mafia Technossomy Never heard such great synth work and then nothing The Infinity Project No ambient follow up to Mystical Experiences Secede Well I know there were two albums but the insanely good Tryshasla has been 4 years without a follow up (mini albums don't count)

Crop Circles - Tetrahedron :clapping:

Yeah, this is a definite grower but one thing I have learned with ultimae over the last few years (knowing they often grow) is not to force them. This I will leave for a while and come back to it in a more reflective mood.

Much love going out to Jikkenteki. The Long Walk Home & Flights of Infinity still rate among my favourite albums. It is sad of course to see such a talented musician (with taste so in line with my own) stop making music but you have to go the way life takes you. This is not a scene where music can be your whole life and it might sound like a cliche but sometimes life catches up with you. You no longer have the passion that initially drove you or things happen that dampen your spirit for it. All I can say Rennis is good luck in your life away from the Psy scene. You will be missed. Wishing you all the best

This was a tough one. If we were talking on trance here then I would have gone for Slinky Wizard straight away but TIP gave us the beautiful Mystical Experiences (I noticed has been re-released on Avatar BTW) which is one of my favourite albums EVER !!!! :wub:

Papa Legba - Dead Air

I have just started it so I can't comment on the whole but it is so far so good. It has Murakami's detailed descriptions of the mundane that just seems to make everything sparkle and 2 chapters in, something really odd is happening

Eyes See Sounds Eyes see in the dark, everything we keep hidden. Confessions kept deep in the closet, beside the skeletons; behind closed eyelids. All is clear; no bright glare, distracts us from it. Under the skin we feel more, in our deepest inner thoughts, we project the furthest. Sit a while and wonder, for thought is the greatest teacher. It can be better to commune alone, than to join a voracious choir.

I loved it when I was 15 but I don't think there is much to love about it anymore to be honest.

This doesn't seem as active as the movie forum. I am trying to read more and watch less TV/Movies

Most books I come across are good enough to read once but I would never think about reading them again. Usually they are written quite well but nothing special but have a gripping story. But once you know the story it would be pointless to ready again. Some books though break the mould, either the story is so good that while I am reading it a second or so time you still hope it will turn out different (usually these have sad endings or a character I hate who lives but I want to die ) or the writing is so sublime that I can just get lost in the words. So what books can you just read over and over again? For me it is Haruki Murakami - Norwegian Wood I love his in depth descriptions of such little things, like the creases in people's clothing or their hairslides. The story is hauntingly beautiful as well and no matter how many times I read it I still wonder if the ending will be different this time (it never is though ) C.S. Lewis - Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra Another wonderfully written books & I always enjoy reading the descriptions of what people used to think Mars/Venus were like before we discovered the boring truth. H.G. Wells - The Time Machine and The Invisible Man Nice passages, wonderful discriptions and the irony is never lost. Isaac Asimov - The Foundation Series Such imagination, talented writing and it is easy to get totally wrapped up in the stories and find you have read all 7 too many times. J.R.R. Tolkien - The Silmarillion I have always loved reading the history of Middle Earth over and over to gain a better understanding of The Lord Of The Rings trilogy which are other books I can read numerous times. Embarassingly I can also read many Warhammer 40,000 books over and over as I love the grim dark imagery and the utter hopelessness that the stories entertain. They might not be very well written and are just action movies in space but something about them hits the right spot with me

Haruki Murakami - After Dark I really like the writing of Murakami. The English translations though are better as English is a much more beautiful language than Japanese

I think those are Epic Poetry quite difficult to read if you are not in a fanciful mood

I finished reading Goethe's Faust Part 1 which was a mix of very well written parts and long winded gas baggery! Some scenes were beautifully written whereas other just dragged. Oh & the ending was shite!

It's a shame things have gone this way for you Rennis. I wish all the best for the future. I am having the same problem

*points and laughs* haa ha! I have in the past bought a CD I liked the sound of in the shop only to get home and notice that I already own it Seriously though, this sort of thing sucks but I doubt it is a new thing. There has been unscrupulous people in the psy-scene for a long time. It is the best disguise as so many people think that all psy people must be kind, honest, caring PLUR people. Unfortunately not true.

After Dark The date is about to change no one sees 363 east failed to see before west will miss it later the air is musty smells of booze and spices shrill voices chatter away always a girl is crying friends comforting a kiss goodnight hand in hand go home or carry on here choices to make how long can we wake? what does tomorrow bring? the date has already changed

The Green Room Green grass, green walls brown skies, brown borders sit a while and take it in surrounded by hope, melancholy try to see what is beyond hide what lies beneath pain comes to all men all men dream what can it be if not I angels won't worship as we lie in fields of green green grass, green walls melt under scrutiny there is nothing there but what we hide inside crawling up like a spider brown skies, brown borders swallow inside what we never were what we never are

untitled chance chances missed on warm summer evening calls gone unanswered in the night sitting waiting on nothing still we are all alone chances never come again try and try as we might we can never change what has already passed at the end of times we are alone to change our fates we must wait inteminably wait for what may never come but hope eternal drives us on to try and not be so alone

deep mid A thin sliver of light a contrast against the darkness as I sat there I felt the cold hand of death that morning sat by the window as I looked on winter's frost a light snow began to fall on the plains and the treeless hills on monuments and grave stones on the living and the dead I sat as my essence dripped away and I departed the linear plane two feelings, one warm the other cold I thought it would be the other way

Some crap....

I kind of like classical stuff from Shakespear to Homer and Dante but I do feel that they are often so long in the tooth and full of a lot of hot gas. There are always long passages saying very little, a character describing his or her feeling or the situation in minute detail using a hundred words where they could have use 20 with the same effect. Although I like reading ancient literature I must admit that modern literature is much better. It has better character development, knows how to entice a reader and generally just blows the oldies out of the water. No I know that at least one of you disagrees (I can actually feel the future laying into me so) give it your best shot

Johan Wolfgang von Goethe - Faust it's longwinded but there are some beautiful passages & images in it

Although Eno is the daddy of ambient I don't really like much of his work. I'd go for Ambient 4

I wish I could replace my last month of crap with your month of receiving such lush music Today I received sphingida presents origin and Kliment - The Perpectual Ritual both are surprisingly good
