Me neither. Although my reaction was more like "what the fuck is this garbage I'm hearing?". I still get the nasty chills when I think back at what happened to goa trance around the turn of the millennium. And no, that comp hasn't been in my collection since over 10 years back. P.S. The Tripiatrik track on that comp is even worse.

Well maybe one day... But honestly, Wintermute is one of the best uptempo tracks I've heard in recent YEARS and Modus Operandi is quite a damn good album (don't care for the dubstep though...).

Because I don't want the mp3's. End of discussion

Arrived today. Listening as we speak.

Interesting, seeing as you're in the US and I'm in Finland. Or did it ship from the UK? Royal Mail seems to suck these days...

So how many people have received their CD by now? Almost 2 weeks since it was shipped...

Vaguely related speech sample at the beginning

Stumbled upon this the other day: Checkershadow Illusion. Blew my mind. You never know when your senses are being fooled

Kinda like Jesus? :DDDD So we can very well move the celebrations to coincide with a suitable event, for example summer solstice (winter solstice celebrations were replaced by christmas, you know...) Then in the year 2597 we can all celebrate y604. What happens then, nobody knows Oh well, happy birthday and congrats on getting out of your teenage years \o/

Err I haven't heard this track in 25 years...thanks for reminding me That glorious 1980's saxophone

The 3 first tracks from AP's Dancing Galaxy. September 1997.

<-- Looks at "location".

I had better things to do than watch TV as a kid

So much I'd still like to see live, no idea if all of these are even playing gigs: Amygdala Androcell Argaman (grrr, missed him at S.U.N.) Artha Artifact303 Astralasia Björk (yeah, not goa/psy but still...) Crossing Mind E-Mantra Etnica / Pleiadians (will be taken care of this fall in Helsinki if all goes well Etnoscope Globular Goasia Jean Michel Jarre Jikkenteki (if he ever returns to music) Kalpataru Tree (if he ever manages to come to Europe) Kino Oko Kristian Thinning (Elysium and Sheyba / Kaaya / Kailash (let's see how long he'll keep this live project alive Krusseldorf Kurbeats / Yggdrasil (my girlfriend LOVES Kurbeats, side notice Lauge & Baba Gnohm Makyo Matt Hillier (Elve / Ishq / Ishvara etc etc etc) Merr0w MFG M-Run Musik Magier PortaMento Process Ra Seb Taylor (Shakta / Hibernation / Kaya Project) Slackbaba Toires Trinodia Vataff Project Voice Of Cod Xerxes Zirrex Wow, that was quite a list and I'm sure I've missed lots of artists...

Wow. Making a "song" about yourself. This is almost worse than hip hop.

The veggie pirates stall made some STELLAR falafel, shiva place had good spanish omelet for breakfast, the cafe run by some locals near the kaleidoscope had marvellous breakfast and snacks. The only crap food I got was from the thai food stall, and the huge hungarian food tent didn't really amaze me. You mean the one with the cute girls?

Exactly. Wasn't this psy culture all about PLUR and not we > the rest

Yes, Superior Technology is a fucking fantastic album (even if I've said it before here a few times). Mindfuck to the max and unlike anything else in my collection. Perhaps I wouldn't go as far as saying it's the most psychedelic stuff I've ever heard, that's a tough one to know actually.

I collect music: http://www.discogs.com/collection?user=Paul_Eye and anime: http://pauleye.filmaf.com/owned although I'm slowly trying to sell off most of my DVDs because of a lack of interest.

Yeah, why oh why. That album is perhaps the most unique sounding music in my collection.

Well, musically I think the best sets were the Ticon - Emok - Vibrasphere combo (which I had to enjoy from the shelter in our camp since the combination of the heat and, um, a certain substance drained me of all my energy, Eat Static that was kinda OK but mostly a bit boring, Anestetic which to my surprise was rather nice melodic dark-ish stuff, Filteria which I unfortunately had to enjoy from my tent as I had passed out and woke up just as his set started, Art Of Trance had a nice retro-futuristic vibe and Union Jack was more of the futuristic vibe with a few classics thrown in the mix, Raja Ram of course rocked the dancefloor even if his The Infinity Project set derailed into what actually was a rather good DJ set (yes, The Delta's remix of Johann's Stranded still manages to make the dancefloor go absolutely bananas , MWNN seemed to sound rather good but I heard it from the market area as I had to go get some food, X-Dream was practically what I expected, Logic Bomb was perhaps the most blasting set of the festival, even if I missed the first 15-20 minutes of it. And on a side note: Cosmosis' retro DJ set was kinda bland and the music wasn't really well chosen for the sunrise slot. And oh, he played ONE Cosmosis track... Then, the chillout. It was, to be perfectly honest, crap. A sand floor with some hay bales and not enough shade from the sun. I didn't feel like wanting to chill there at all. Too bad as I'd have liked to see some artists there too. There also seemed to be some changes in the schedule and I didn't see any info anywhere who was playing and when (Entheogenic for example didn't seem to play at all, not that it bothered me anyway). Some changes in the schedules on the mainstage too seemed to go unannounced. The food was mostly good, the bars were a bit silly with their fucking around with "sorry we don't have any change", and them giving forints back even if you paid with euros. Also, if you bought a bottle of sparkling wine, they couldn't give you the bottle but poured it into 2 plastic pints instead. The bottle was a "security risk" they said... The locals had a grocery store set up in the market area with heavenly peaches and lots of other fruits and vegetables Shower queues were OK and there were enough drinking water containers to fill your water bottles. A few times some containers ran out of water, but there was never a long way to the next one which had some water. So all in all it was a rather good festival. The midday heat was unfortunately a bit too much for me to handle for the most part.

1. Nah, just fullon (remixes of old tracks and some newer stuff) 2. Dunno as they didn't play when they were supposed to, so I missed them :/

Cosmosis-Trancendance Is this the digipak?

I think I caught a glimpse of you passing by but wasn't able to say hi as I was just eating my pizza But yeah, all in all my festival trip had its ups and downs, and THE DAMN HEAT, whoa

I've missed only Angel of Darkness and the newest one. Summer time, no time for computer games. Maybe when winter comes along
