Well, this was an unexpectedly nice surprise NEOG042 to be correct, 041 is the JIS EP

Finally completed my Ambient Dub collection, had only Volume 4 so far. Classic stuff

Been cleaning up some stuff in the Discogs database, fun

Ordered! (finally)

And BTW, will you stock the new Goa Madness comp when it's released? If so, I'll probably wait and get Denshi-Danshi, Night Hex and the GM comp in the same package.

I knew what artist that is before even clicking the link

The list as currently (it fluctuates semi-constantly): Kurbeats - Folktronica Vataff Project - Kalitz Banco de Gaia - Last Train To Lhasa (especially the new 4CD 20th anniversary edition) Androcell - Entheomythic Shpongle - Nothing Lasts... But Nothing Is Lost (rolls the best bits of the first and second albums into something very delicious) Bonus: V/A - Conundrum Concoction Lifeforms (both the album and EP) are some of the finest pieces of electronic music I own

Some good ol' Sienis

Trailmix :DDDD

Well with the plethora of substances available, that's not a particularly incorrect usage of "nothing else"

Yes. One copy for sale for $5000 on Discogs.

Well, as much as anything concerning the last episodes of Evangelion makes any sense, EOE makes at least a bit more sense than the original last 2 episodes. I can't remember if Anno was "pushed" to do EOE or if it was more along his original vision, but the fact is that the last about 10 episodes of the series suffered from less and less budget and the whole production team was really struggling to finish the series. So basically, I'd recommend you watch EOE and then draw your own conclusions And also, so far I've seen only 2 of the new Rebuild movies (the fourth should be out, ehm, "soon"...). The first one was great. The second, not so much.

Some recommendations since my last post: Suns Of Arqa - All Is Not Lost, But Where Is It?. Basically SoA + Youth doing what they know best. Ocean Star Empire - The Purest Form. Morning-ish goa-ish fullon-ish something. Yes it's a re-release (originally from 2014) but worth a mention. Banco de Gaia - Last Train To Lhasa 20th Anniversary Edition. Do I even need to tell you how great this is? VA - Aurora Sidera. One of the better Suntrip VAs. Proxeeus - At The Mountains Of Madness. Oldschool newschool goa goodness. Sysyphe - The Cities Of Silver Trees. Murky downtempo that also ventures into deep trance, very good. Psychowave - Dancefloor Metadata. Well this was a nice surprise. More goa-ish fullon-ish something. Lowering Ipnose - The Root Of Fear. More murky downtempo. This is fantastic. GoaTree - Akasha Connection. Goa with a more fullon-ish touch. Eat Static - Dead Planet. Whatever anyone says, a great album that goes just about everywhere. Double CD. Master Margherita - Afro Dots. Dub techno and stuff like that. Double CD. Reflection - Mechanical Puzzle. Breaks-y downtempo goodness. Omni Vu Deity - Vuunayatu and Nuiemu Rift. Matt Hillier doing his thing again as he best knows it. Ott - Fairchildren. Well, it's a new Ott album, what did you expect?

20 years ago today the first episode of Evangelion aired, and today I'll start a little project where I'll (try to?) watch an episode a week until the end of the series. With 26 episodes that means that I'll watch the last episode at the end of next march I haven't watched the series in well over a decade, let's see if this becomes some kind of a nostalgia trip. And I haven't really decided yet how to handle the director's cut versions of episodes 21-24; either I'll watch them right after the originals (meaning 2 episodes per day for those) or then I'll watch the entire original series first and then backtrack to episode 21 for the DC versions, and finishing it all off with End Of Evangelion (which actually makes a bit more sense as it replaces the last 2 episodes of the TV airing and IIRC continues the story from the DC versions). Also to decide is should I watch the DC versions in one sitting or continue with one episode per week, extending the project to next april, and finishing with EOE on...may 1st Anyway, it's a classic. And also, towards the end more and more really fucked up shit

I've been thinking of this every now and then but haven't come to a sensible conclusion yet (probably never will), but reincarnation or some kind of a reboot/reload where the entire universe loops back on itself (not in the exactly same way twice though). That seems to be the most sensible explanation for déjà vu; it's not a feeling that a particular situation seems to have happened before, it has happened before, and I'm not capable of explaining why you remember that particular situation but there has to be some significance we're unaware of (unfortunately). PS. I almost didn't want to post this as it seems so shallow and incomplete. These aren't exactly small things we're dealing with here. Maybe it'll fuel something though.

And there are some sounds that remind me of the runes / bone charms from Dishonored. Nice touch, as I've been playing it recently

Vataff Project makes music unlike anyone else. Fantastic.

And this has been quite much on repeat here lately. Marvelously murky and haunting downtempo. With only 3 tracks it leaves me wanting more Lowering Ipnose - The Root Of Fear (Youtube playlist) Ektoplazm download

I still don't see the need to explicitly highilght you label's artists in an anouncement like this, seems quite arrogant to me. And hah, you causing the end of the world for me with this? You don't even know how many of those I've experienced and where I've been, this doesn't even deserve a possible thought to mention. Yeah, derailing again, someone get back on topic.

So you're posting about a festival that you're not even organizing just to highlight all the cronomi artists playing there. Yep. Anyway, grabbed a flyer for this at ZNA, lineup looks yum but Switzerland at the end of October might be a bit cold. And not that I'd have any money to go anyway.

Hey, stop misquoting me

Well, that's me IRL. Can't say I'm much different on a forum. Sometimes my thought processes jam and something unintended comes out, IRL and online, and then I get various amounts of shit for it, but that's quite uncommon. Often I find myself writing a semi-intelligent reply to something, then I re-read it and realize that it's just a bunch of nonsense and decide not to reply.

Yeah, it's like giving money to an artist to download a release instead of giving an artist money to download a release. I don't undersatnd this "I don't buy digital" mentality. You buy a CD, you get some ones and zeroes that represent the music, the same with downloads. And of course, I prefer getting a CD instead of a download, but if a CD isn't available, that's not a reason for me to skip a purchase. But this is getting off topic now.

Finished Styx: Master Of Shadows a few days ago. The combat mechanics were so crap that it kinda forced you to take a stealth approach to everything, not that I'm complaining, I like all that sneaking instead of just taking the easy way out (rushing in and killing everyone). The only huge annoyance was the horribly broken automatic ledge grabbing that had me cursing on more than one occasion ("no, not that ledge you fucking stupid goblin!"). Also a minor annoyance was that you couldn't traverse around corners when hanging from a ledge (couldn't have been that hard to implement, I mean Tomb Raider had that in the 2nd or 3rd game IIRC and that was over 15 years ago). And also, unlocked the Shadow insignia for all missions, meaning that I wasn't detected even once during the entire game. Now I'm playing through the Dishonored DLCs, finally after finishing the main game almost a year ago. More sneaking
