  1. I'm interested in synchro too and the shiva cd. You can check my trade list too
  2. It's this good, of course No. No. That's it. No more copies left. Btw I didn't buy if of discogs. Seller is danish like myself and a mutual danish friend made the connection. Sheer coincidence. But, yes, it is the discogs copy I bought, of course.
  3. Thanks . I'm a bit ... perhaps exhilerated is too strong, but ... no hell, I am exhilerated. Once in a lifetime purchase I reckon.
  4. Total Eclipse - Update Files Various - Argo Saafi Brothers - Liquid Beach Bamboo Forest - Bamboo Forest Various - Goodfellas Gong - You Remixed Deedrah - Body & Soul Various - Invasion From Hyperspace Crop Circles - Lunar Civilization No, I did not buy the CC cd of discogs. Cut a deal directly with the (danish) seller. It wasn't cheap but lower than any discogs sales price I saw.
  5. Yep, Yannis is the man. He even sent me the package before I paypal'ed him, because he didn't want to delay sending but didn't know the freight to DK. THAT'S MY KINDA SELLER Very reasonable deal and cds/booklets in okay shape (and nothing else promised!). I'll gladly deal with Yannis again! Thanks man!
  6. I could probably match the price ideas for Dragon Tales and Doof Turn On. In case you become interested ...
  7. Nice with a heavily debated release Here's my two cents. The most vivid image in my mind of the psychedelic trance festivals I’ve attended is approaching mainstage on a sunny afternoon with a pocket full of money, no commitments whatsoever, and a mainstage ahead of me that seems to jump with every beat. Parts of Silence In Action could very well be the OST to that movie. When opening track Mind Of God takes off at 1:39 any objections that this is of the shelf psytrance can’t reach me – I’ll be too busy dancing my ass off. Track 5 Super Position belongs to the same category, with EU’s self titled track 7, Solar Storm, and Future Excursions trying the same only less accomplished. Thus, the above reference to my experiences from psychedelic trance festivals. This music has a *huge* crowd and is easily able to keep a party going. Having said that I have several issues with Boris Blenn’s take on psytrance this time around. One major objection is his choice of samples that are simply too cheesy for my ears. Even the amazing opener is haunted by an annoying sample and only makes a homerun because of its’ relentless energy. Tune Up is not this lucky which is a shame since I enjoy large parts of it. But I just can’t see past the sample and so constantly I'm waiting for the next sample section to combat. One sample even ends ”Listen to the white noise in your ears ... it fades away” and then the voice fades away with a delay effect!! Could I ask for something a little more challenging!? Or some UV-pants, at least. Moreover, many of the tracks doesn’t identify themselves strongly enough which makes a full listen of SIA tiresome after a number of listens. Well, track 6 Science and track 8 The Bomb certainly identifies themselves, but the identifying factor being guitar leads I’d rather have had them fade in grey. If you like guitars, on the other hand, these could be your favourite tracks. The guitar sections aside they work pretty well. Summarizing, I’m sure a lot of newcomers will appreciate SIA for its’ energy and danceability. And fans of full-on in general should appreciate at least a couple of tracks here. Overall, though, I’ve heard full on executed more challenging and interesting. In this direction try Altöm, Phi, Slum, Quadra, Hydrophonic, Alien Project, early Astrix ...
  8. I have to second that. Guitars have no place in psytrance if these ears should decide. And when the sample is as cheesy as the one in The Bomb ... Nuff said.
  9. Electric Univer - Silence in Actions added.
  10. Electric Univer - Silence in Actions added.
  11. Oopie's avatar ... but that aside, no, nothing else. Thanks for the trade
  12. Right. I misunderstood your post I think there is a certain recognizable vibe to the album. I guess that comes down to Lucas.
  13. Did a trade with Oopie and everything went smooth. My delivery beat his by two days Thanks! I'm ready next time
  14. Koxbox - Dragon Tales on vinyl. A friend just bought it for me. How nice is that
  15. Me too. But over all a great compilation. Got nice feedback here to. And on discogs
  16. Boing ... (X-Dream Panic In Paradise added).
  17. Damnit, Abasio You didn't warn me enough against The Bomb. AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGHHHHHHH ! ! I cannot find a single thing in such guitar sounds I like. Nothing! And I wonder hard what I can possibly have in common with the many people that like this style. I guess there must be something but it sure aint the music
  18. Haha I'm surviving track 6 Science right now. Those guitars ... WTF?! I NEVER understood guitars in trance. If The Bomb is any worse than this I could end shooting myself. The rest has been pretty okay generic full on until now though. Not groundbreaking, but gotta hand it there's been a lot of energy. AAAAAAAAAAAAARH FUCK ... The Science also needs to end with a guitar riff ... Okay, now Electric Universe selftitled track ...
  19. Welcome to Psychedelia mayheem from Danish act Koxbox in their prime! There is no other way around it. If you are into psychedelic trance this album is an absolute must (together with Koxbox' previous album Forever After) setting a milestone of psychedelia for years to come. I really should go through these tracks one by one as they all deserve a comment; D.M.Turner for its psychedelic twists, Electronic Brainwash for its melodies, Doktor Mesmer for its cool, Life is ... for its killer beat etc. Words will not justify, however. You just have to hear it to realize that Koxbox never got better than this. Beware that Dragon Tales does not sound like your average nineties psychedelia, though. Both sound and qualitywise Koxbox was in league of their own. Their sound on this album is more of a laidback type of psychedelia and more for drifting away than head-on dancing. So kick of your shoes, open your ears & mind and let the prime of ninety psychedelia take you in. Mothership bordering now ... ;o)
