For the past 5 years we've had a small and intimate, mostly oldschool themed party each summer in a suitably remote island (2012-2013) / beach (2014->) location here in Helsinki, usually around the middle/end of August when the nights are getting a bit darker again. Since 2015 it's been a 2 night event, and my set here is from the first night this year. I played a mostly improvised 02-04 night set, decided to skip all the cosmic swirling fluff, and went instead for a 2 hour all-out twisted mindfuck journey. It screams, screeches and growls and gets obnoxiously loud and in your face with a sledgehammer at times. This is as close to my personal definition of "night time psychedelic dance music" as it currently gets. Of course the goa trance backbone is still there, I'll never let go of that. Feedback after the gig was nothing but positive, <3 to everyone involved. Here's to another 5 years Tracklist: Space Tribe - The Future's Right Now Tarsis & DJ Kaya - A Higher Form Of Life Hux Flux - Idiot Hux Flux - Alkaloid Cosmosis - Pigs In Space Infected Mushroom - Return Of The Shadows Infected Mushroom - Psycho Xenomorph - Antimatter Tim Schuldt - Pretty Poison Slide - The Search Lunar Asylum - Bubble Bamboo Forest - Xplorer Xenomorph - Shaari Avadon Pigs In Space - Solar Darshan - Tranceformation ECT - Helpless (2012 Remaster)

Well that didn't stop DAT from releasing the I.F.O. remaster, or the same case with Zion604 and Multimoods. AFAIK they're both remastered from the original CD release. Correct me if I'm wrong by all means

Hey, thanks for the heads up This is one of those albums I've been meaning to get since forever, but never got around to it (and the only copy on Discogs is almost $50). So I got it, even if I really couldn't afford it right now. Oh well, that's life

Oh, so this works like facebook Thanks for the tip.

And just one little thing that's been bugging me for long now (yes, this goes into the annoying nitpick category...) Your spelling of DJ is rather inconsistent in the forum descriptions

Thanks, this is much better, square avatars and all. Line breaks are a bit odd, they seem to create what looks like a new paragraph (which leads to a bit too much wasted space), like this: Line 1 Line 2 But if I copypaste something from Notepad++ for example: Line 1 Line 2 Also, the dialog box from clicking "Mark site read" has white text on white background (and the cancel button is almost impossible to see), and of course it'd be nice if clicking OK would take me back to the main page

I can't post a reply to that thread. Anyone else have this?

Firefox 52.3.0 ESR with a bunch of add-ons (Adblock Plus and NoScript perhaps most notably in this case).

And there seems to be some white text on white background in the default theme. I was kinda wondering where the "mark all forums read" option is

Same here.

I wish he'd have kept that as the only sample in the track (and perhaps used only half of the repeats) because it actually works and goes "with the beat". The rest of the samples sound like they're just randomly dumped in there with no thought. That being said, this is definitely an upgrade from Akasha Connection (which eventually wasn't particularly good if you ask me). This is the kind of drive I expected from the first album after hearing Syslit Joint (that came out before Akasha). Now that drive is here on this album, and it's fortunately taken a turn towards the darker (although with all this "dark"psy around the expression has a bit lost its edge) which is always a plus in my book of goa trance Currently I'm leaning towards Cell Connections as being the highlight of the album, but I need to take some more listens. Unfortunately this arrived too late to be properly dancefloor tested this summer since the outside party season is basically over and I'm on a well earned break from gigging for now.

What do you mean "no longer on Ektoplazm", here it is: http://www.ektoplazm.com/free-music/kadasarva-steamagination But yeah, this is for the lack of a better expression an incredible album. Nasty, relentless, full of cybernetic mayhem, and contains absolutely no sunshine or your typical cosmic goa fluff. At least one track from this album tends to find its way into every darker goa set I play these days Absolutely 250% recommended. One of the best albums of this decade. And so on.

Re-release on Ektoplazm

Nope, that's actually The Lone Deranger But yeah, I've always been wondering where the basslines are on this album. I mean, I know they're there (of course) but they're like woven into the material so well that they just disappear, but still they're there doing their job Of course this doesn't apply to all the tracks (Jiggle and Gamma Goblins mainly, and Deranger to some extent have quite distinct basslines). Edit: and Snarling too, so that's the 2nd half of the album. And also, there's something going on basically all the time, constantly shifting and slipping in and out, especially all those little background layers that you might notice only after a few dozen listens

20 years later, still the best goa/psy album ever made.

1000 plays this weekend, thanks and hugs for listening

There are still some clicks on Interstealer Dawn which, looking at the images on Bandcamp seems to be named Interstellar Dawn on the CD, maybe this was originally the intended title? Maybe I'm jumping the gun here. Let's see (hear) when the CD arrives.

I took a quick skim through the tracks and basically only liked what I heard on the Shpongle and Dickster remixes. The rest were on a scale from meh to fail. No need to waste money on this one. I still stand by my opinion that Far Too Loud's remix of The 1st kicks the living crap out of anything on this CD. But then again, basically nobody here likes psybreaks so whatever :DD

Bought it. Listening to the Bandcamp download now. Clearer sound than the original (that's a given). The only complaint I have right now is that while on the original the tracks flowed into each other, here most tracks end with a crude fadeout (which leads to some rather questionable starts on a few tracks). While not a huge failure, I still hope that this is not the case on the CD.

Well this was a pleasant surprise. I'm definitely liking what I'm hearing

Bought it, listened to Emtpy Branes. The intro sounds suspiciously like ...And The Day Turned To Night and while it's nothing particularly groundbreaking, it's still way better than anything on Museum Of Consciousness. Hopefully the whole album is a return to a more organic sound (Empty Branes certainly is).

I sincerely hope you're joking.

Well, my expectations are just about as low as they go after the disaster that was their last album. Still, for completeness sake, I'll get it anyway.

Unfortunately I'm not coming this year, can't afford it

You mean "this" as in "what we have today"? Because that set itself contains music from the past 15 years. And thanks, of course
