  6. x 2 I've gotten SOOO much music the last year I should have considered it a job to listen through all of it thoroughly. But always listen once before shelved. Also to make sure no scratches and shit ... But it's not until I write something down about them I consider them really under my skin. Well, in some cases, at least.
  7. What do you mean Just a question of good ears
  8. Ever the same taste in women, huh !? Well, it's IDM and very mellow. Being into Posford you might like BoC. You could get it for the cover in any case
  9. Yeah, MHtRTC is nice. Haven't made my mind up fully though. But today I also got Geodaddi the limited edition that shaped like a book. Beatiful
  10. The final encore …? Seven versions of AMPIA redone by the most esteemed people in the business one might wonder whether Koxbox was seeking inspiration. From ambient sound scapes to psychedelic warfare we certainly get around this track! And so there is no doubt – my pick is Massimo Vivona’s remix. God freakin’ damnit!! Koxbox are legendary for creating tracks with multiple sections and MV is no stranger to this talent. And when on top they end on the mother of high notes after a 7:19 minutes long build up I can only bow & scrape. How DO these guys come up with it? Yet, if all the tracks are remixes one may wonder how many layers AMPIA contains. Alright, so three tracks sounds close to the original, but give me the Pepsi challenge and I wouldn’t be able to call the remaining tracks remixes. Miro serves us a laid back trippy voyage, Saafi Brothers a chilled out sleeper, Logic Bomb held back Koxbox aggressiveness, and Pixeldodgers a dark tech journey on psychedelic influences. And I’m all ears. If you like Koxbox don’t hesitate chasing down a copy. And if you’re not convinced already let me just add that the cd is worth having for the hideous cover alone! This must have been engineered when nothing fails to please the eye. I mean, who could this possibly appeal to?!
  11. Supposedly he has. Or at at least SOMEONE has one more copy of Ra's To Sirius for sale. Grrrrrrrrrrret album I might add

    V/A - Tantrance 8

    Chapter 8 is perhaps the one to mark the end of the goa inspired Tantrance compilations. Most of the way it certainly ventures in musical territories far away from the sound that started it all. Therefore the main thing to realise here is that T8 has a far more simplistic sound that earlier Tantrance releases. The year is 1999, Goa is on the decline, and progressive taking over. So to with Tantrance. The tracks are much darker than uplifting goa and here & there approaching house territory. This creates a less strong psychedelic vibe than earlier releases, and even if mood is always the key I certainly have to work harder with this release to enter psychedelia. A couple of tracks should be mentioned. Atmos, as always, delivers an interesting track. Drums Don't Stop is dreamy, relaxed, and insisting. Likewise, Man Of The Last 3rd & DJ Lando delivers a solid deep house track with Blow Station. There’s not much going on, but if you do get onboard the wagon there’s more than enough to entertain you. Children Of Paradis gives us Alien Nation (Part 2), another deep tech-trance track that demands dedication to be appreciated, but let yourself be run over and it will work. And then comes the finale of cd 2 ... which for some reason stears this compilation in a completely new direction – back to old skool! Starting with Astral Projection over Cass & Slide to Cydonia the last 3 tracks apparently wants to remind us what Tantrance used to be all about. Or still is. Or ...? Strange, but in any case 3 strong tracks and my favorite tracks of both cds. Melodic, energetic, trippy, they work equally well tripping in a comfortable chair or out on the dancing floors. To summarize, I’ve heard several Tantrance compilations more opt to meet my taste in music. Still, with ears set for progressive T8 delivers several decent tracks. My main gripe here is the amount of imminent hits which I think is too low for a compilation. In this direction it doesnt' help that a few tracks are ruined by guitars. Lastly, I need to mention the hideous opener Tribal Warrior which I find more suitable for a Riverdance compilation. I mean, I understand some people like tribal drums, but ffs there's a limit to everything !!
  16. And my cousin so it's full circle Still ranks with me as the best 2006 compilation.
  17. Oh, and here it is ... Look how I placed a newspaper so you can check the date
  18. Yeah, that CC was a nice addition. Well, I hope you'll get a chance to trade yourself to hux flux or transdimensional. I'm looking for those myself ... Today I got Etnica - alien protein and koxbox - re-oscillation I know, at least, DP will approve of that purchase I know I do
  19. Damnit Artur, your collection is expanding by the hour And you're selling/trading that asia cd. I want it. Damnit ...
