When I was 35 folks, as you can see I was a real character. I will still stand by everything I said almost a decade ago and almost 2 decades ago (fuck me I am feeling old) This is and always will be an amazing buy. 3 different mixes: Chilled, Mid-tempo, Stompin'; and they are all absolutely amazing. It doesn't look as cheap as it once was on Discogs but I still bet you can get it for much less than it's worth.

What music are you listening to right now?

Atmos - Always in Control -Well here comes another one for a psychic blowjob 😂 -
Definitely. Artists are damned if they change and damned if they stay the same. Trolls will always want to complain. I've seen plenty of artists go in a direction that I didn't like but good for them, if that is what they want to make, more power to them. It always made me laugh listening to people complain that an artist had "sold out" like they wouldn't make more poppy music if someone drove a dump truck full off money up to their house

Welcome to parenthood @RTP😲 Sounds like a rough start but moving in the right direction is good. When I say "unbridled joy" what I really mean is a love I never thought I had in me. There are difficulties and frustrations. My wife and daughter do not get on at all, which makes it really difficult as my wife doesn't work and is home with her all day, every day. My daughter was diagnosed with OCD this year and it is affecting her food. She needs to weigh everything before eating it to convince herself that she's not eating too much (the huge weight loss doesn't convince her of this) and it's a real struggle to get her to eat enough. My wife's branch of angry parenting just doesn't help. I think if I was the stay at home dad and she worked, then this never would have happened.

That's a bit out of my price range 😕

This sounds like a great idea. Rotten timing for me as it's too early in the AM for me to ever tune in. I clicked the link and it just said that nothing is playing. Looks like anyone can add videos to the stream. Is that right? Nice concept, except I never watch music video or listen to music from my PC

It's amazing how well some albums age, ths still sounds as fresh as it did almost 20 years ago

We need updates for 2025 What are you guys using to listen to your Psy? I finally converted to digital. Haven't actually bought a CD in years, although I do still have my collection of 1000s to annoy my wife with. That's right, they cannot be trashed or sold and will stay here FOREVER. I am currently using the Sony NW-ZX707 DAP with FLAC files through the balanced input with: Final Audio A6000 IEMs for when I am out Sennheiser HD 560s Open Back Headphones for when at home alone Both have great attention to detail and both are super comfortable for long listening sessions. The A6000s sound so good but are super light, that I barely notice that I am wearing them. For an IEM they have great soundstage, and the bass still reverberates. The Sennheiser HD 560s are lush. They are my first open backed headphones so I don't have a whole lot to compare them to, but the soundstage is huge, they are super comfortable and I am hearing more in my music than I ever had before. I really love these and the A6000s. I don't listen much to music on speakers anymore. My wife is a big stick-in-the-mud and doesn't want anything over a pathetic volume, so unlike her father, I won't spend $500,000 on a pair of speakers, all I have are some Bose Soundlink Flex. They are really good for basic listening if you don't need party sound, and boy am I not allowed party sound 😔

What if the world actually did end in 2012 and now we're living in some purgatory hellscape or something? Does anyone remember being happy after December 21st 2012? Happier than you were before? I think not. The world has gone to hell and the doomsday cultists were right, we just didn't notice 😂 Actually my daughter was born in 2015 and has brought unbridled joy to my life. Got a dog last year and he is awesome! If this is the apocalypse then I am all for it 👍

19 and a half years on and I am still really digging this release 😊 Dakini records are still quite active on bandcamp but their music is a bit expensive for me. I did buy their Suno Mix Tapes, amazing how good AI music can sound 😲

When you really get in to a track, do you ever play it so much that you hate it? I love psy, ambient and most electronica because it doesn't get stuck in your head too much. Pop drives me up the wall because if I ever do like a song, it won't leave me alone until I despise it. Currently listening to Singularity 2:001 Kuro - K.T.T. Oh my god, Planet BEN & James - Repeater is coming soon -

Decided to see what the gif from my signature actually was (amazing modern internet tools ay?) Some random J-pop artist 😂 2:48 and You've got my sig -
While these were good earphones and sounded great, I haven't used them in years. My current endgame are the Final Audio A6000s, not only do they sound amazing but they are so light that I can wear them all day. Currently on a 6 hour listening session as I left work early and worked from a coffee shop so I could not interact with people, and I have zero fatigue wearing these. They sound as good or better than IEMs that cost 2 or 3 times as much. I highly recommend.

How. No one has bought anything today in.... 9 years 😳 🤯 Not today, but one week ago I got this Redmi Pad Pro 6 - a nice midrange table with a keyboard case. I prefer this to a lot of the 2 in 1 designs as the keyboard case sits on your lap properly. It's big enough to make watching movies on it good, and the keyboard is spacious enough to actually type on. Yay! 🙌

Oh yeah. Gotta love me some Prana. I used to subscribe to Matsuri records on Bandcamp and 80% of their stuff was Prana. I didn't complain (until they went months and months without releasing anything on a monthly subscription: not cool) Nice choice! -
Not a lot of love for this stellar compilation. A really good snapshot of Flying Rhino's style at the time. Smooth, dark but light, trippy Goa I have a folder just for Flying Rhino records and I bought everything they released and they still get played in heavy rotation. This, the first Singularity, First, THird, Fourth and Fifth Flight, Black and White Rhino, the Re:evolutions are all highlights. Wish they had a rebirth like some of the other older labels.

Man, people hated this when it first came out. It was just so minimal and the melody only people wouldn't stand it. I like a good melody, and this is not providing that, but I also like rhythm, and I adore psychedelic details peaking out of every nook and cranny, and that's what this album provides. Really really good, if you can stomach minimal. The only thing I won't like is the really loud sample right at the end. Sometimes I will doze to this album and that ending is like a big old slap to the face.

There are 3 singularity compilations This one is the most old school 2:001 was more like Flying Rhino's smoother, evolved style (Post re:evolution) and third one felt a bit poppier but has grown on me over the years. Still love this one the best though 💕

Absolutely no love for this album? I may not listen to it as much as I used to, but that's only because Gus Till has so much else to listen to and I am lying, I still listen to this quite a lot, but then I listen to music a lot, not all day every day, but close to it as I travel a lot and skyve off work too much.

Or support him directly on Bandcamp

Almost no love on this forum for Scorb? You can get it cheap on Discogs Still an amazing release 20 years later
-
Loving this album. I never really gave it much love when it was first released, but I have always kept it on my player but not chosen it in ages. It randomly came on today after finishing another album and I instantly thought "Why have I not been listening to this every day?" Very psychedelic, tonnes of acid synths, everything I like in my psy

Definitely a maybe. I am trying to steer away from my cell phone. Over the years, smartphones have become the jack of all trades, but as the saying goes, a master of none. When I listened to music on my phone, I streamed low quality garbage, so I got a stand alone player and listen to my collection again. When I played games on my phone, I played crappy cell phone games, so I got a retro handheld and now play Mario, Sonic, Mortal Kombat, Rainbow Islands and all other 8 bit & 16 bit games from my youth. When I read on my phone I read like a book every six months, so I got an e-reader and now read 20+ books a year. I clung on to my phone for longer for internet browsing but recently got a bigger tablet with a keyboard (don't really need a laptop for the light usage I have) and it has transformed how I use the internet. Much less doomscrolling and much more engagement, I even email my parents more often How long will this renaissance last? Not sure, this forum is still pretty dead 💀 Hopefully we can get some decent chat going, yeah? In the meantime, I'll look through the old reviews for inspiration of what to listen to for the first time in years 😁
