Cool, I never knew it was so small, I was always told in my studies Japanese buddhism was a spinoff of Vajrayana... So I thought it must have at least 100 million (for sure as it is popular in Western countries too). But of course, the centre of my studies were not the spinoffs in Buddhism I learned something here. Thanks As for ascetism, what I meant was: Jesus wasn't a real ascet either (just like Buddhas as you said) but the monks need to be able to trust in God, pray all day,do a vowel to silence & celibaty, fasting etc... Which is ascetism as well... not EVERY buddhist has to do it, but the monks in both religions do.

That their latest output is lame, I agree too... but they did copycat you said? Classical Mushroom is... Well, unique. I never heard anything like it, so I have no idea who they copied in your opinion... Their richness of instruments in that album (and no, not just samples like most do!) combined with his incredible feeling for harmonies. Wauw! Unique, if they copied, I'm willing to hear the originals

Sample 3 of our upcoming cd: VA - Aurora Sidera available! More darkish, acidic goa-trance in the good old Battle Buddhas style, from our newcomer from Belgium: Dragon Twins​! Enjoy! https://soundcloud.com/anoebis/03-sample-dragon-twins-the-third-wave/s-tQtuH

Aaah, interesing discussions on psynews, love it, I hope it is not too off topic... Anyway, there are some valid points here. The comparission between Christianity and Buddhism is impossible to make anyway because you have over 50 different churches in Christianity and over 10 different kinds of Buddhism. But of course, the bigges forms of Christianity (Katholicism and Protestantism) can be compared to the biggest forms of Buddhism (Tibetan & theravada) The reason why I tend to say Buddhism & Christianity is pretty much in common (and even more close to eachother as for instance Christianity & the other Abrahamitic religions) is because of the following things: The starters of both religions was a person that was against violence, possession and was promoting a pure form of life where ascetism and helping others are central (to get a reward in the afterlife (eg, heaven or a good reïncarnation). Also, their goal was never to start a new religion, they just wanted to go deeper into the original original (eg Judaism & Hinduism) Once they died there were followers of course. In Christianity since the 7th century with a spiritual leader (mostly because the religion was widespread and changing too hard locally) although the power of that leader became less and less which resulted in the abscence of a real leader in the orthodox church. In the Protestant Church only the bible "solo scriptorum" is the main principle. Leaders are not necessary, only philosophers. This is pretty much the same in Buddhism, with some splits. Some with a spiritual leader (like the Dalai Lama, or the lamas in general) and some without it like theravada and mahayana Last but not least, the "fight" and search in yourself (for God/higher power) via ascetism is common between Buddhism and Christianity. If the Franciscan order would live in Myanmar, they would be praid for all day as "perfect monks"! This has none of the other religions in the world like that. What you say about adapting local Gods... is one of my main points of interest. The whole Christian world is FILLED with that. Saint Nicolas is nobody else as an adapted version of Wodan as an example. Christmas celebrated during Sol Invictus,... There are so many more examples like that... And yes, even today. In Brasil for instance, Candomblé is a religion where the original African Voodoo Gods are simply taken in the Christian religion. And they are honoured as saints. And you can pray for saints. So I disagree to some extent Catholicism is REALLY monotheistic, it kept the old gods, changed them to saints, and like that the "problem" was sold. In Buddhism this happens too indeed. Spirits or saints are indeed sometimes incorporated from other religions. In protestantism, it is indeed impossible to have local gods into Christianity as they are against saints. Ah well, I can write a book about this, just some girst thoughts

Good question I guess he was tired of the typical goa trance 18 years ago when he wrote that review sometimes opinions change drastically throughout the years

I won't write this often, but I agree 100% with you

As a religion teacher I do not agree at all... Buddhism has more or less the same structure as Catholicism with monks, lamas and a "boss", the Dalai Lama. The temple as central religious point and place of wisdom. Christianity is VERY locally adapted. The amount of saints and the way old religions were locally adpoted is SUPER diverse in Christianity & Buddhism... Its another discussion, but people in Western Countries have an unreal view on Buddhism.

We present you sample 2 of our new compilation: Aurora Sidera! The track of Nebula Meltdown​ - Deep Space Introspection... With a mad Acid-trance second part! Have a listen, and drool https://soundcloud.com/anoebis/02-sample-nebula-meltdown-deep-space-introspection/s-EQuEc?in=anoebis/sets/va-sidera-aurora/s-EEq4D

Here, some older roots, on another page on the same site, you can hear the Hippies talk that arrived there in the 60s and 70s... http://www.earthlymission.com/70s-goa-hippie-party-with-young-goa-gil-mixing-tapes/

Orthonorma as well!

He is serious! I can't believe it

Very old footage with some new wave like music from Goa Gil http://www.earthlymission.com/70s-goa-hippie-party-with-young-goa-gil-mixing-tapes/

The cover! Like usual with compilations... The cover painting was made by Margot Schaefer, with some extra tweaking from Fabien

Interesting, why not Mike Verros? It was released on 3 cds under this name... (and answer you fb messages )

You won't be dissapointed. I listen to this cd sooo much, and I can't stop loving it. Top 10 best EVER cds for me

The first Aurora Sidera sample is here! You like pure acid-trance, like good old Emmanuel Top? (just a little faster and more up to date), you'll love this! The track, called Retrospective, is made by Maor Hasbani​, aka Skizologic​! Make sure to listen to the end of the sample... many of you will love this! https://soundcloud.com/anoebis/sample-skizologic-retrospective-va-aurora-sidera-suntrip-records/s-RrAkI

I think you should post the address of the forum on fb, not the psynews facebook page

128 kpb and only 40 sec samples... I will start with uploading good samples now on soundcloud (wav quality) of 3-4 minutes, and I will post one every 2-3 days

Good question... We don't know ourselves. He never had ANY contact in his life with Filteria. So why burning his discs in public etc is probably just jealousy. I remember in 2005, we let him play several times in Belgium and he was really a nice, enthousiastic kid, with a bright future in front of him! The album he was making back then for Suntrip, was never finished (some of the tracks were, like Yoga,When the Universe was Created, Mental Stream) the years after that, so that was the end from our side... unfortunately. As he had talent, but yes, everyone knows what happened after that

That wave is partly over I have the feeling, there is much more experimenting with kicks & basses again... GOOD

I would say... Uvantam and lots of the old Psy Harmonic/Aussi style... Almost to wicked to listen at home, but amazing psychedelic nevertheless

Good questions, I had the same question in my mind lately. I was on the airplane back from Israel and a strict chassidic jew (you know, black hat,...) next to me, around 60 years old, and he started to talk to me... He knew Erez since his childhood as he lives in the same Kibbutz and he was following him ever since. So even old strict religious guys know them in Israel... The funny part is that he said Erez doesnt like any of the music they do anymore and he is thinking of stepping out of the band. Not sure what is true about this of course. As for the old Infected... Classical Mushroom is a masterpiece of harmonies and melodies. Incredible, and the track Dancing with Kadafi alone is the proof they were SOOO talented...

Sephira for sure, the known ones (Aes Dana etc) but make sure to check Peace Therapy 1 & 2 as well... They are in this style and are utterly amazing!

Without ever having any problems with Felipe in the past (we even released his music), this is a good example of "talking" Felipe: haha, Fabien has leukemia, great, I hope he dies soon we: you should see a doctor Felipe: I'm the healthy person here... I think you should, or you die, haha! we: you should really see a doctor Felipe Felipe: I hope you die soon Well, what else to do? I'm sure Balance has a perfectly good answer... But, if my kid ever accepts behaviour like this, where someone attacks another with death-threads etc, I would be ashamed. These kind of folks are dangerous. They need help, but we can't give it via internet, they should do it theirselves. Period.

Exactly
