WTF? That has to be the weirdest spam ever edit: spam's gone As for the Heavy Metal Goa, I quite like it. Not really my style but pretty cool none the less

It is not Rowan Atkinson that you want to kill but all the stupid fucks that venerated his worst ever character Mr. Bean. Black Adder is and always will be one of the best comedies ever.

I think so. Daylight is so much creepier mainly because it's where you usually feel safe so when there is something wrong about the daylight it feels much scarier

This is nice I like the words too, music of the spheres, very spacey

Florian Sériot mixed lumin's album ketri Gilbert Thévenet had a track on an Avatar Spirit compilation a couple years ago. I think a lot of the artists simply started making music that we don't listen to that much so don't delve into who it is. This has always been a genre with a million aliases so it can be hard to follow what people are doing.

Artist: Crop Circles Title: Tetrahedron Label: DAT Records Released: 19th December 2008 Tracklist 1 Lunar Civilization [Pleiadians Remix] (10:47) 2 Antonomasia [Lotus Omega Remix] (9:36) 3 Daffy Duck [On The Comet] (10:01) 4 Cerealogy (10:22) 5 Pentagon (9:03) 6 Classic Process [Hale-Bopp] (9:14) 7 Full Mental Jackpot [Etnica Remix II] (9:28) 8 No More Singles (10:21) DAT Records the label opened up by Draeke during late last year (2008) with the intention of releasing oldschool Goa Trance music previously available only on DAT. DAT Records’ first release is Crop Circles – Tetrahedron and what a first release for a record label. The sort of release that is such high quality that it has you aching for more to come out. The joint project of Etnica/Pleiadians and Italians Lotus Omega had some E.P.s released way back in 1996 & 1997 on Auracle Recordings the label went bankrupt before the album could see the light of day. More than a decade later that album has been found, dusted off and given a fancy new shine having been remastered by Tim Schuldt. The result is everything you could possibly hope for, fantastic oldschool sounds with up to date masterful mastering. This is a very psychedelic, spacey journey with lots of harsh abrasive and acidic sounds that never sound unpleasant. There are melodies & synths galore and in many of the tracks the number of different sounds used and the changes in the melodies is fantastic. In Antonomasia (Lotus Omega Mix) there must be over 10 different melodies throughout the track. Some of the tracks are not as melodic as others but all have that spacey extra-terrestrial feel to it that always made me get goosebumps when I first got into Goa all those years ago. Of course after listening to so much this could never have the same impact but it does give me so many nostalgic feelings. None so more than Full Mental Jackpot (Etnica Remix II) which I think is a great remix of one of my favourite tracks that I used to dance & dance too while going absolutely crazy. As with many oldschool albums this is incredibly layered and what I hear on my 10th listen was quite different from what I heard on my 1st and probably on the 100th listen it will still surprise me. Listen to Classic Process (Hale-Bopp) allow the melodies to wash over you and focus on the dimension of sound that lies behind, it’s vast and incredibly beautiful. This is a twisted brain scrambling album that will have you gibbering in joy in no time. When listening to Pentagon with no distractions I can actually feel reality shift sideways so that everything seems just slightly wrong, a very trippy feeling. There are a few different versions of this going round on with a yellow fluorescent jewel case, one with a light green one and another with a dark green case. All come with a gold CD which combined with the slick artwork on the cover gives this release a very high quality look that goes very well with such high quality music. Thank you DAT Records and I hope to see a lot more releases from you in the future. Track By Track 1. Lunar Civilisation (Pleiadians Remix) This is pretty much everything you’d expect from a track by Etnica & Lotus Omega remixed under the Pleiadians name. It’s energetic, trippy and has lots and lots of great synths. These synths have a really sharp acidic edge that seems to cut downwards through the melodies which also have a sharp acid like quality to them. They move & shift about through the whole track with the melody twisting from sharp acid to wet and squelchy old school hyperspace rushing passed on every side kind of style. This is a great track to really get you excited and anticipating the rest of the album. Although over 10 minutes in length I think it would be impossible to get bored while listening to this, the progression, the subtle key changes & twists & turns make for an interesting ride from beginning to end. 2. Antonomasia (Lotus Omega Mix) A weird sound like an alien yawning & straight into a beat, another yawn and the bassline kicks in. The melody joins shortly after and the alien sound twists into a synth line lying in the background. The track slowly picks up more elements, sharper synths, sci-fi melodies and weird trippy sounds along the way into one intense aural sensation. The number of melodies that play along the way is quite impressive, different styles of melody from clever synth lines to twisted high pitched mayhem. This is nearly 10 minutes long and with the melodies changing so much throughout that they must clock up at least double digits. Great stuff. 3. Daffy Duck (On The Comet) This has a strange start with a weird sample that may or may not come from a popular cartoon. It is twisted enough to be indiscernible but very, very trippy, have it come on when you are coming down off a hard night sat in you most comfortable arm chair & it will have you sweating acid from your eyeballs. Very much helping this, the synth line that follows which always seems to be rising but forever stays at the same level like M.C. Escher’s Castle Stairs. The melody half way through becomes quite high pitch & piercing so that it feels really penetrative. I really enjoy with this kind of music melodies and synths that can stab you in the head and mince your brains. The wet sounds at the end just manage to rub the minced brains around for added effect. Great! 4. Cerealogy After a start where everything seems to shuffle around each other the beat comes in with one of those beautiful Goa beats that just refuses to mix with anything else. The beat that is steady for 8 beats then skips a little then is steady for 12 skips a little again has and tiny little roll then keeps steady just long enough for you to attempt blending it with something else on for it to skip & roll just at the worst possible moment. Although it may be a DJ’s nightmare (or challenge depending on your attitude) it is always very nice to listen to on an album. Combine these cool beats with clever key changes with the bass and nice synth lines you get a cool spacey acid track with brain scrambling ability. 5. Pentagon The start of the track feels a little darker than the previous tracks, with some sounds like the wind blowing around in the background and little horror clicks under the synth line. The wind warps a lot in the first few minutes until it sounds less earth bound and more like how I imagine solar wind to sound like in other dimensions where sound is much more of a priority. The beats of course come in and a very active synth line that really breathes life into the track. The melodies fly about in a very other worldly manner & while the other tracks always gave me a deep hyperspace feeling on this one I feel like I am on a planet of sorcerers with their twisted magic filling the air at unfathomable speeds. This is a great track, very colourful, energetic and head twisting, especially in the final run where everything feels like it has been shifted sideways & reality is not all as you expected it to be. 6. Classic Process (Hale-Bopp) This one starts with a much lighter, high pitched sounds flittering about like a glow bug running around on the floor in front of me. A strange whoosh seems to bring more and more before the whole of the ground is covered in dancing light. This dancing inevitably leads to a danceable rhythm & when the beat comes in the bassline jumps up & down like a proper party track. This track definitely has the most dance floor energy of all the tracks on the album but it also has enough psychedelica for the average home listener. I particularly like this track on headphones when I am out and about at night as it seems darker when you have the background sounds pushed so close. The melodies are nice but look passed the melodies and there is a whole other dimension of sound to enjoy. 7. Full Mental Jackpot (Etnica Remix II) Ahhhhh, Full Mental Jackpot a track with such great memories attached to it. Even though it’s remixed I can’t help but get the feeling of dancing on a Thai beach under the stars for hours & hours surrounded by so many people having the same kind of religious experience from the music. That was the first time I heard this, when some unknown DJ played in the middle of a beach party with such mental music as to make everyone go crazy. The synths, the melodies the little runs of psychedelic madness that fall down like acid rain onto the partiers as they get more & more worked up and more & more of their stress is released and their good vibes are released into the atmosphere helping other people work themselves into a crescendo of joyous energy. The melody in the final quarter is just magnificent and feels like an orgasmic release. A great remix of a near perfect track. 8. No More Singles Ten minutes of twisted alien psychedelic madness to round us off with and what a great 10 minutes it is. The sounds jump about in a sporadic yet strangely ordered way. The beats are again beautifully unmixable (for me) and the melodies fly about as if not tethered to anything. I don’t quite like this track as much as the rest of the album but that doesn’t mean it is not a fantastic track, because it is, it’s just that the rest of the album is so mind blowingly amazing!! Still it’s a nice way to round off a fantastic album, this track has those falling synth lines that so often heralded the end of old school albums but uses them in tandem with rising melodies and wet acid noises. The overall effect is that the album is winding down but still encouraging the listener to give it another whirl.
