Think I haven't looked around Discogs? Well those 2 "new and sealed" CDs are very probably the unlicensed/pirated/whatever jewelcase reissue/reprint. And I PMed that one guy selling the mint copy but he's not answering.

Anybody willing to sell this to me? I'm only interested in the DIGIPAK version.

Awesome

So here's some oldschool/newschool goa for you. Played at a tiny club in Helsinki, and I had to play without a subwoofer because it died after the first set of the party (the last track would REALLY have needed the sub...) Tracklist: Mandala - Utopia Kaaya - Ormazd Merr0w - Atlantis Cosmosis - Sanyacid Goasia - Love & Peace Dimension 5 - Intastella Liquid Flow - Unknown Life MFG - New Kind Of World

Ah thanks that was it.

The only thing I remember is that it ends with the (approximate) words "there is no more time, there is infinite time..." repeated. Male voice. I think it's the last track of some album (but I'm not sure) but I can't for the life of me remember which one. Help me out here?

Good news!

Oh hey thanks for reminding me of the Kadasarva album

Sounds like a good idea. I'm down to I think 15 tracks now and have most of my best listening energy during the weekends.

Well I kind of expected psycore to be of the mindfuck sort...I personally can't stand it, at all. Keep it below 150BPM please

...what music/album do you turn to? My weapon of choice: Process - Superior Technology (Youtube Playlist) http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFiDAZR0cmjBe77P3FwYfRzEGkVv2Qljs I mean, I'm a melodic goa trance guy by heart, but this...this is just completely something else. Murky hi-tech brainfuck, pure and simple.

Well we'd all like to think it's all about the music, but no. Of course the energy from the guy behind the decks/gear transfers into the audience. Some of the recent guys I've seen who's really into it are Cosmosis, Prometheus, Aavepyörä and Eat Static. Others whom I randomly remember are Asura and OOOD. And of course Raja Ram just has to be mentioned Also, our (Finland's) own lovely DJing couple Miazu & Polly are quite the burst of energy on stage. Of course, some (especially) DJs need more concentration to play a good set, but still you can see if the energy is there or not. I myself am trying to balance between deep concentration and almost dancing like a lunatic on stage at least when playing goa. The chillout is a bit different but nevertheless I don't keep myself hunched behind my laptop all the time. Gotta see how the audience reacts.

I've been on absolute coffee strike for almost 2 years now, after almost 20 years of daily consumption. Not that there's anything fundamentally wrong with (good) coffee, it just started to make me feel totally like shit so I thought why bother. The first month was the worst, withdrawals and all that shit (nice DJing gigs in that state of being but it soon settled. I don't think I can go back anymore, even drinking tea seems to be out of the question nowadays...

No we didn't. Some of us just need time to wade through the tracks and not make a rushed decision

Sweeet

I'm trying to think of something to say...

I'll see them live on the 26th. Can't wait to hear some new tracks

Amygdala - Modus Operandi. Starts with some meh dubstep but picks up from track 3. Musik Magier - Moved. Progressive-ish but not your usual cup of tea. Aavepyörä - Katso kukkaa. This just is something else. Nothing quite like AVP out there. PortaMento - The Portal. Not your usual goa trance. VA - Spectral Circuitry. Ektoplazm's lates VA. Some nice stuff in there IIRC. Lilith - Love Is All. If you can find it anywhere. Juno Reactor - Inside The Reactor. Juno Reactor remixed. Good stuff. Kino Oko - Descending Out Into The Distance. Rather unclassifiable.

Donated already a while ago. Let's hope for a damn good album

The track still exists, it just seems to have disappeared from the contest group...?

Whee!

Terence McKenna, Tim Leary, Alan Watts are hevily used, usually in quite unsurprising ways. Blatantly drug themed samples usually just annoy me, as well as stuff from The Matrix and Fear And Loathing (with the exception of 1300 Mics - Mescaline). Yes I know, this is a subculture closely related to drugs, but still, no need to rub it in my face. Be creative, surprising. Make me think, make me smile. Find samples that have not been used a million times before.

I say yes. No need to rush things.

That sums it up pretty well, eh?
