This is really weird - but this is really gooooood

Crispy Bacon :posford:

Firstly, "The Magus" is a very impressive blend of styles - psy-trance meets techno (which includes all the latest minimal and electro influences - which i like a lot these days ). Secondly, Artifakt manages to mix-up those pretty different sounds in one very tasty soup. I mean i've heard so many attempts from so many talented artists to combine those styles and elements and all they failed - i want to say there were some great moments for example latest Benza's album but still Artifakt's "The Magus" became a champion for me. ... and Abasio wrote very well that you should listen to your own opinion on this - just the best way to appreciate the music. :clapping:

My favourite is "The Wold" - magnificent track :drama:

This is very DEEP and nice np: Artifakt - Crystal

Can anybody post a foto of the cover under UV?

The cover is really shitty, but... the musical content is freakingly amazing :posford: np: Jaia - Exosphere (2007 Remix)

AME - Balandine Brilliant track - acidy tech-house :drama:

Hm, didn't expect it to be so good. Liked it very much though :posford:

i'm on fire :posford:

I got it - Traci Lords - Control (Juno Reactor Instrumental) (this is one of those tracks that brings ultimate nostalgia) been listed in my playlist as JR - Control

isn't it Juno Reactor's "Control"? np: Prosect - Tribalogic (Amygdala Remix)

Fumiya Tanaka - DJ Mix 1/2 [Mix.Sound.Space] This is a very intersting concept. He took 12 pieces (the best moments of his livesets during 2001-2002 from various venues, mostly from Japan) each about 10-15 minutes long. A very good combination of minimal and hard techno.

I would choose "Chaos Laboratory" because of its fierce sounds. Track #6 "I'll Be Back" is truly a unique composition - very psychedelic :posford:

Tracklisting: 1. Paranoid Life (7:38) 2. Sensitive Strings (7:32) 3. Atari Days (9:40) 4. Angels Of Light (8:30) 5. Cosmos (9:21) 6. Trip To The Infinite (8:16) 7. Cold Computer (9:16) 8. High Templar (8:37) 9. Trancing In The Center Of Earth (7:35) Zybex is Roberto Tello, born in the South of Chile. In 1999 he began to experiment with virtual synths, but only as a hobby. In 2003 he met his friends; Hector (Ovnimoon) and Luciano (Psypsiq Jicuri) who had began to compose at the same time, but in differents cities. In this way he was able to share ideas and learn so that in the future he could define his own style of psytrance music. Zybex has worked with labels like Magma Records (Italy), Synergetic Records (Austria), Moonsun Records (Greece), Goa (Geomagnetic) Records (USA), Kagdila Records (USA) and Freeze Magazine (Greece). (taken from http://www.myspace.com/zybex) 1) Paranoid Life Soft melody and slow rhythm launches the album. The synth line comes in and brings darker tones. The middle part is very beautiful combining percussion, voices and atmospheric melody. Actually this track is really deep and emotional but not cheesy in any way. 2) Sensitive Strings This one sounds much like typical full-on in the beginning. But later it expands into much more interesting form. Nice driving rhythm and sensitive melody are very well balanced and makes this track very pleasant to my ears. Backing guitar a little bit softens the whole drive. Nice one too. 3) Atari Days Very different from the prevoius tracks. If the first two were melancholic this seems even agressive in some way. But then the flute in the middle part is much brighter and changes the mood of the whole track nicely. The last two minutes are filled with deep and positive energy. The last 30 seconds reminds you of the atari a little bit, bit, bit... :-) 4) Angels of Light Again rhythm is kinda rushed but the synthline is astonishing. Melodic part becomes more tense with every minute. All in all it sounds really psychedelic by the end. Not a bad track but could be better. 5) Cosmos Electric bassline takes off to the cosmos. Dark and cold samples layering one on each other gives the feeling of venture in galactic corners. Zybex invites to a dangerous trip here. I like this track a lot. The finish of the journey is trippy indeed, just listen to the synth. 6) Trip To The infinite After the countdown beat lifts off. Expertly used sounds create some amazing feeling. This track is really special. The middle part opens the heart of the creator and the listener. But that's not all, you'll hear some amazing psychedelic samples later sending your brain to far out space. I could easily lose myself hearing this one on the dancefloor. As for me the best track on the whole album. 7) Cold Computer Computer madness. It's not as cold as the title says. I'd say it's more electric and repetitive. The darkest track on the album. Here Zybex denies soul and passion of human instead fills space with alien army of programmed droids. Chaotic structures by the end destroy everything on its way. 8) High templar Another hard stomper. But here i don't like the samples. They seem uninventive and uninspiring. This one is proclaimed the worst track on the album by me. I skip this one everytime i listen to "Surreal Energy". But that's just me. 9) Trancing In The Centre Of Earth What can i say, this one is not lighter then the previous one. But much better in terms of creativity. Still i'd like to have the last track to be more expressive so the final feeling of the album was as deep as in the beginning. But that's not a problem at all.;-) "Surreal Energy" took all my attention when i first heard it. After a couple of more listens i found tracks that i liked more than others and found only one track that i really disliked so my rate would be 8/10. Favourites are "Paranoid Life", "Cosmos" and "Trip to the Infinite" (which is the winner). The art of the cover is also great and it perfectly fits the mood of the album.

New Psycraft material is really crappy np: T. P. Heckmann - Dimensions-Disco (classic techno tune)

Gaudium - Nordic Nature

haven't heard such great tribal house in years :posford:

Sven Vath - Shock Ralley (Danilo Vigorito Remix) blasting track :posford:
