  1. I expect to receive an extra copy of Scizo in some 10 days. So in case you don't get in send me a message. I prefer trade ...
  2. Here's my two cents ... Technologic is best described as some sort of minimal, full-on forest psy-trance hybrid incorporating occasional goa elements. Confused? Well, if you're into monotonous dark night trance Technologic should all make sense - in line with dozens of reviews I've seen praising it. I tend to get bored, though, even annoyed over an album's stretch. Not that everything lands outside my taste. Opening track Star Shoot Trippers manages to remain both on the attack, monotonous and interesting. Also Replicant's energy saves this track. Those tracks aside, however, my patience is put to the limit on Technologic. That said, at the same time, I can appreciate why some can have an infatuation with tracks like Enfants Sacres, Up Days, and D'Liss. They're dark, pounding, highly psychedelic, and played loud at night time must come across as devastating for the *openminded* listener. Yet, they leave me unimpressed. Well, a track like Ze Cosmos Trips doesn't leave me unimpressed - it annoys the hell out of me! Alas, biased like any review is this one gets a thumbs down. But if dark, monotonous trance kept on the minimal side rings a bell with you, check out Technologic if you fall over a copy. Hell, that could even be mine ...
  3. On my order list ... Understand there is a sample from Easy Rider on it, too Listening to Orion - Metamorpheus ...
  4. That's the one with Brad Pitt and the guy from X-Files, right? I thought I recognized his voice.
  5. I'm sure GMS and the Matsuri you just got makes up for it But yeah, I hear you. I also traded a couple of albums away in the beginning I wouldn't trade today. How is the GMS Family anyway? I really, really like Chaos Laboratory, I must say. Damn good.
  6. I hear you. I like chicken, but not e v e r y day ... I guess that makes me a cheater on ifo ... Damn, can't believe I just wrote that This is getting out of hand ...
  7. lol, that's enough to give you sleepless night, eh ? Well, I hope you're covered on the IFO front
  8. good choice Well, I've gone old skool again. MFG - The Prophecy
  9. Yeah, very nice indeed. Hope to get some more time to look at the boom pictures. But looks great!
  10. Haha, yes, I was being sarcastic But damnit, there's another really REALLY REALLY rare cd ending very very very very soon ... ... shit !! What's happening to me and my attitude Oh no ..... !!! 6 6 6 coming on ............
  11. Congratulations ... you're gonna be SOOO moved to the album review thread
  12. I liked this album from the outset and it continues to be one of my favorite chill-out albums. It's said to resemble Shpongle and even if I can appreciate the comparison, I think there is one major difference. Shpongle's never quitting flutes don't loom around here! But first and foremost what I love about DOTS is the amount of ideas Entheogenic and their remixers have cramped into the tracks. You can tell it's hours and hours in front of the speakers and the result are blissful ambient soundscapes. Add to this exemplary vox use. And that comes from a person who's usually not too keen on vox in chill-out.
  13. Slum's Make Rainbow In Your Sleep picks up the stick where Phi left it. There's not one dull moment here. You wanna dance? Okay, I'll pack the dancefloor with full-on basses and melodies. You wanna trip? Okay, I'll add enough speed and psychedelia craziness to give your mind something to trip on. If classic psychedelic trance music works because it's too odd to be plainly comprehended, Slum works because there's so much going on it's physically impossible to comprehend it fully. There's simply not enough time. Whatever the reason, I'm thoroughly entertained with Slum. In my feet as well as my mind. Recommended for psy-trance lovers looking for lasting full-on. This is a safe purchase in my book. If not better.
  14. Entheogenic - Dialogue of the Speakers. I LUV this album.
  15. Is it bigger than Radi? Seriously, I'm intrigued too. Look forward to chapter two ...
  16. And I also made one more trade with Chris. Got my cd fast and nicely packed as always. Perfect Hope you also received my cd, Chris? Btw, if you would also leave feedback on my thread it would be great
  17. Ultimae V/A - Fahrenheit Project Part Four Courtesy of Infected_Goa Another perfect trade.
  18. If Lucifer should one day decide to put his life up on the big screen he won't have to look far for a soundtrack. Fuckin' hell, SISB is the meanest piece of plastic I've ever acquired. In a close battle with Scizoeffective, of course. Yeah, Delta's own Scizoeffective and X-Dream's Irritant are the only albums I know of I can compare SISB with. In parts, SISB does remind me a lot of Scizoeffective, but SISB seems more accomplished. Where Scizoeffective has three or four tracks with a, well, less devastating vibe, SISB is relentless. There are NO light points here. Dark tech-trance bombarded in your face from start to finish. That's the strength and weakness of SISB. The strength since the consistency is second to none (X-Dream excluded). The weak link in case you are fond of variety. You won't find any here. To enjoy this you just gotta blank your mind, let yourself be taken in with the flow, and let the beat and mood be everything. If you can do that, on the other hand, SISB is guaranteed to torpedo you into parts of Psychedelia most people will never tread, let alone know exists. Though, I presume non-prescription medicine may come in handy ...
  19. Can't touch this! Is mine. MINE
  20. smug: looking or feeling too pleased about sth you have done or achieve: a smug expression/smile/face. What are you looking so smug about? according to Oxford Dict. Right on !
