There's a pattern developing. The seventh poster will be thoroughly authoritarianistic.

Hey there, Cap'n! Thank you, thank you!

Mars no longer operates the site. Insejn does. Yo' mama feels like home.

My favorite all-time cartoon (more like an animated series) was The Mysterious Cities of Gold. I would have shanked anyone who got in my way to get home and watch it after school, and I only had minutes to spare after the bus shat us out. The one cartoon I never really grew tired of was Looney Toons. I could still watch it and be entertained. My favorite old cartoon as an adult is Ren & Stimpy, which is total genius, IMO. The sound effects alone are a triumph.

I like your taste, GagaISM! Those landscapes Ernst did are absolutely amazing. As a fanboy I got to see a bunch of them in Texas some years ago.

In Soviet Russia, what drives you.

I always assumed they were from Germany.

Not my favorite Koxbox album, but it had some very catchy tunes. More immediately accessible than the previous albums, with a quasi-pop sensibility.

I much prefer this sound to the minimal one, if nothing else than it was more powerful and more interesting on an artistic level. Techno did this sort of thing before trance and was a likely inspiration. Honestly, I think this is what minimal wanted to be all along, during its short sojourn, but didn't know how. Or else it wanted to be both aggressive and progressive at the same time and couldn't do both. Both labels are exceptional. Another good earlier one is d.drum.

It's interesting to me to see someone getting back to this particular phase of psytrance. Back then "minimal" was practically a taboo here, a bad word, and there were practically daily flamewars about it, because a minority liked it. It was as if, to some, it was the thief that stole the power and dynamism from what was then called "full-on," which was the golden age stuff like Pleiadians and Astral Projection. I got into it briefly, and have kept some of the CDs. I can add a few things to your list. Necton, XV-Kilist, Tarsis, Synchro, Son Kite, Bitmonx, Prime Time Plastix, and half of the tracks by S.U.N. Project.

Juno Reactor's got some decent warrior type tracks. Like Hule Lam, maybe? http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCV674qf7hw

You're all missing the point. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0NdCetXG9s

Because they feel like it.

That's the "girls get horny on their periods" cover. The "you don't have to, and I won't hold it against you (unless I will), but I really want it" cover.

I agree with you on that one, Ormion. Amazingly psychedelic. It's like updated Koxbox or Hux Flux. Makes me wonder sometimes what's going through these producers' heads to be able to come up with galactic stuff like that. So much work! And if it comes naturally, only weirder! My only complaint would be that it might be about 10 BPM too fast to be groovy. Otherwise, a total trip.

The book is good but quite light in comparison. Same goes for Solaris and Lem's book, and I fuckin' LOVE Lem. Tarkovsky just had a way of bringing massive depth to anything he put his finger on.

Ka-Sol. Fairytale is a masterpiece.

Glad to hear you're still active. You and Ka-Sol are among the few artists who keep my ears in the Psytrance genre, and I've enjoyed the Schlab releases immensely over the years, and continue to do so. Also, Masters of Outhouse was a great album. Congratulations. I don't do Facebook, but I genuinely look forward to future music from you guys.

Every once in a while a great sci-fi movie comes out, and when they're good, they're worth the wait.

WHAT??? No accounting for taste, I guess.

It scrobbles to Last.fm. Go to Audiogalaxy website, click settings, it's one of the first few options. Update: Subsonic is more advanced, but a larger pain in the ass. Really depends how much control you really need. It's like Linux (super-smart) compared to Mac (intuitive). I don't know of a PC version (customizable). What I really liked about Audiogalaxy today was that it buffered my music enough to get me through about 10-15 minutes of subway tunnel going to work (Subsonic does this too). And the Last.fm scrobbling works better than Subsonic.

I got the app today. Very cool, especially combined with all the other ways to listen to music with Android. One I use a lot is TuneIn, which has a billion different streaming radio stations (music of pretty much every genre, local and international news, sports, etc.) and podcasts. And then there's Last.fm, of course. I can also highly recommend PowerAMP as a regular player app. Love its GUI and equalizer, and scrobbling. Edit: Ouroboros, have you tried Subsonic as an alternative yet? I've been experimenting with it tonight. It's more advanced, for better and/or worse. Will report back if I experience any significant differences to Ag.
