Yes. That's good to hear, thanks. Odd, listening through both my headphones and monitors (albeit with no room treatment) the k/b both sound OK. Here's a version with the kick and bass 50% louder than before, I'd be interested to know how you (and anyone else who can face listening twice) think it compares.

Great track, love it. The first half reminds me of this sadly underrated album.
-
^ What's the cause?
-
It's a good question and I don't know the answer. I don't know who coined the term or why but I would guess it's because some of the early artists making the noisier psy/goa that would influence darkpsy did use horror themes in their work (e.g. Xenomorph).

Hello Abasio. Congratulations on the daughter.
-
This. IMO it's an annoyingly persistent misconception that darkpsy is supposed to sound evil or scary - to me, and I assume to most other people who like it, it sounds psychedelic, abstract, alien, sci-fi, but not in the slightest bit scary.
-
We did do that in a previous year but I don't think we get enough votes to warrant splitting the categories any further these days.

How is this not dark psy?

So it's come to our attention that the forum is no longer sending out validation emails. Until this is fixed I will be manually sending out emails to new members. However, the forum automatically deletes accounts that don't respond to the validation email after a few days, and since the validation emails weren't being sent for a couple of weeks before we noticed, some new accounts have already been deleted. If you've tried to create an account recently and haven't received an email from me (don't forget to check your spam folder), that probably means yours is one of them. So please try re-registering and hopefully it'll be sorted soon.

Nice track.

^ This. The way I numbered them is completely standard.

How old were you when you started listening to goa/psytrance?
Rotwang replied to XoArK's topic in General Psytrance
Around 22 I guess. -
Christian Bale < Michael Keaton < Kevin Conroy

Jeez people, use spoiler tags.

Are we self-promoting now? OK, I'm in. This came out sounding fairly unusual: https://soundcloud.com/incompetron/digital-detritus (I didn't say it sounded good.)
