I know this was pretty much hated by everyone but I always loved this album more than Trippy Future Garden even

Good luck job hunting and house hunting. I managed to leave my commuter pass at work, in one of the furthest branches from my house. How I managed to get into the station without it is a mystery, now I'll have a 4 hour round trip tomorrow to go and get it. On the plus side I found out how easy it is to get out of the station without a ticket.

Amazing how little I know about some things. The sound quality of the cowon Z2 and J3 is very good for me, on the Z2 I've been using gone mad music player which while I love the interface, drops the sound a bit. Yes. Both the cowon ones I own do as does my sansa clip zip which for it's price is an awesome little player.

Moved to the promotional area. This is promotion, not a review.

It is probably because I am focusing more to see if I can hear more with Flac, then of course I do. For some reason the cowon J3 does perfect gapless only with flac which is bizarre. Yes they are, I like them a lot and after a few hundred hours of use they got even better, the sound feels so natural, I love it

Banco de Gaia - Last train to Lhasa

It did, But I read your description first and it could have influenced my own feelings.

'tis why I won't change and I will stay with a slightly lower speed. 75mbps will have to suffice

Will this be a free release?

Living in Japan and living in an apartment with paper walls buying expensive speakers is pointless. So I have tried to focus on headphones and a more portable set up. After years and years of trial and error I am very happy with what I have now: I have JVC HA-FX800 wood cone earphones With a Cowon music player and recently I have had all my music in flac. For ages I have said that I couldn't tell the difference between high rate mp3s and lossless formats but it wasn't until I got the JVC HA-FX800 until I really started hearing a difference. If there is really a difference or if I am just hearing more because I expect to hear more? Either way I feel I am getting more out of music than I did before, so it's all good

I went there 17 years ago. A festival back then would have been so fantastic.

I could get faster internet but once I go above 7GB a month the speed will drop to dial up speed. WTF? I'd rather have it a bit slower than be limited.

Actually, yes it is but I buy most of my music on the internet and it's cheaper to buy them one by one abroad and pay for postage and packaging to Japan than it is to buy them here. Japanese still love physical media though which is why CD pricing remains high and the music industry remains, relatively, strong. On Topic, I've listened to these tracks on youtube and they are all fantastic, good enough to own. I am a big fan of downbeat goa and this is a fantastic collection of such tracks.

It's difficult to say as I read your thoughts on it before I listened and while I agreed with them I am not sure if I was influenced by your writing. You are not going to get label owners to give you free music to review straight away, you'll have to prove yourself first, I recommend writing more reviews here in the review section and....don't restrict yourself to old releases either, reviews of newer releases will get you more recognised as will reviewing a mix of styles and albums you love, like, are not fussed about and hate. Even then it's hard to get free music but it would still be an excellent exercise to help practice your English skills.

Oh my god! That was.....horrible

Fantastic idea, Radi describes the feelings the music gives very nicely and I think he's shown before that he can write English quite well when concentrating. On Topic I heard Aeternum - Sunstorm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HML5Xu3C-G8 I like it a lot, dark squelchy trance

For the track with most "anthem" vibe that still symbolises everything that is good about goa is

This is one of those comps I've been hoping to come across in a shop but never managed it. The tracks I own, Mystery of The Yeti Part 4, Noises from the darkness (dub) and Mystical experiences are all trippy goodness and I'd really like to get the rest of them. Unfortunately prices on discogs are too high, except the one in poor condition

Tetrahedron conjures up hyperspace for me, hurtling through another dimension.

What about the sort of stuff on one of Cass' labels? (Cass as in Cass and Slide?) I have this comp http://www.discogs.com/Cass-Fire01PrologueCassCDx2/release/28870 and it's what I think of when I think progressive trance and not progressive pie. shame there weren't more compilations like this on the fire lable

Ishqamatics - Spacebound

Saw the trailer but it looked a bit shit. The missus wants to see it though so I suppose I'll have to have an opinion at some point.

I actually take weekdays off for similar reasons. This area is so amazingly packed on weekends I just don't want to go out in it. I don't have kids or a wife with weekends off so the only reason is events and they're not every week in my new old man calendar so that's what holidays are for.

A lot of spacey soundng music was given spacey titles because it's really spacey. It would be cool but I think unlikely if a really spacey album was called down to earth, moss roots, deep ocean trenches.
