To me they're kinda so-so tracks. Well made stuff, but nothing striking that wouldn't have been done better by other artists at the time.

Space Dwarfs is really good. One of the best tunes in this genre no doubt. I won't comment on the rest of their catalogue though...

It's a fine track. The things that catch my attention are 1) there's no fast paced hihats so it kinda mellows down the energy (there are nice swirly fxs that kinda make up for it, but not quite) 2) it's to some degree a little repetitive on the melody. If you still feel like you want to make changes to this track (or maybe you just wanted us to hear it?) I'd advice making the same melody on 2 different patterns using similar but still different sounds/synths, the other having a sort of delay effect for cool 3d feeling.

I'm gonna have a little taster of Nebula's forthcoming album next Saturday... I'll bet it's ace. ;--]

Heh, I used the word suffer but if you read carefully you see it's not what I mean as I don't see much negative to my condition. You're right, it's not really that easy to decide a feeling per se. Maybe I didn't put it clearly. It has actually more to do with person's awareness. To be more precise, it has to do with person's acceptance of the conditions where he's in. Yeah I know... sometimes there comes situations where you can't escape a bad feeling. Even Jesus was sad at times. But most of the problems I see people holding, most of them are not real problems at all. These problems are usually superficial and to large extent, caused by ego. I'm telling a personal story - as soon as I learned to be responsible for myself, I learned not to blame other people or environment for the karma I'm going through. And this karma is simply put, a cause and effect relation. Whatever I'd decide to do, it has an effect on my mind and in a larger picture, personality. You read this text I'm writing and it has an effect on you, guaranteed (whether good or bad I'll leave that aside). Your mind is like a large piece of wax, and your decisions are like fingers touching the wax and molding it. What do I want to be in relation to the experience I'm having? This is the ultimate question of life. The more you ask it to yourself, the more you'll begin to understand about your possibilities to be in control of your life. Your feelings are to a large extent related to the viewpoints you decide to take. To choose constantly a good viewpoint on life of course takes wisdom, but what spurs wisdom to grow in our minds is ultimately our own will of mind.

I also 'suffer' from the lack of emotional response. I guess, it's not that much a problem. I know what's right and what's good for people and act accordingly. I see it as a strength to be able to keep a sort of emotional distance on some stressful or problematic situations. I reckon in the end, these problems and stress are made up, these words are there to describe mental states and person's viewpoint or stance on his life. We're there to make subjective decisions in a world that's in reality objective. The world exists and that's ultimately the only fact we can make about it. The rest is up to a person to decide - what do I want to be in relation to the experience I'm having? would be the defining question. You can choose what you are and what you feel. The human being has enormous potential to decide. It's just that the large number of people are not aware about this and belittle their 1) abilities 2) responsibility.

No matter what the conditions it's always 10. It's more about living in acceptance with your conditions than the actual emotions.

Thanks mate. Positive comments give me energy to carry on.

Yeah I understood he's talking about the tone not volume. It's indeed a matter of personal reference and I prefer a heavy kick as well.

If you're intending to to progressive then you have a nice start there. Technosomy's right thou, you need some more substance inside the track... if not melodies then give a good attention to bassline, hats and how you build the groove.

thank you so much! means a lot to me.

Laitan ma/ti tulemaan sun suuntaan! Thanks for da orda.

Yes I like it and gonna keep it the way it is, and hope some others would enjoy it as well. The kick's not loud compared to let's say... Miranda. And Miranda kicks ass.

Hmmm... maybe Aeon's Transe Modulaire? 'Osho' and 'Neurone' are very... sunshiny. ;---)

I really wouldn't want any lighter kick than that... will loose the punch. It sounded surprisingly awesome on big PA and I kinda like 909 sound anyway... ;---)

Dancing With Kadafi Return Of the Shadows Overload

I did change the kick and bass for the Xth time... now it's pretty good for sure. Played this in a park party yesterday from big speakers. People liked it. A lot.

The Rezwalker Malaka Dance Zero Density

It's always in fashion.

The topic's main point is that I feel often that whatever the genre, producers are victims of categorizing themselves into a small niche - there's a certain need to belong to a group and this gives pressure to follow the what one could call 'unwritten rules' of the specific genre. Hence, most of the material is rather homogeneous. Just like Simon Posford was on the verge of inventing something new when listening to Hardfloor on acid in 1993, I'm also having thoughts of the possible future of psytrance. I feel it's coming largely more popular and hence, most of the music tends to follow the direction of 'lowest common denominator' where producers try to find tricks NOT to sound as psychedelic as possible, but to sound as catchy as possible. So the main direction on the larger scale for psytrance is to variate looking for the most simple, catchy hooks to attract wider crowds. This applies to all genres dare I say. But I DO hope, for the sake of the magic that great psytrance can have on human - it can make us vibrate on a whole new level and little by little alter our consciousness into new realms - that if you're a bedroom producer out there...listen! Don't care if they first reject your vision. If you have a positive feeling inside of you then that's good enough a sign to know you're on a right path. Be patient if you're idea doesn't physically manifest very easily - creating something new is always a tricky business as there's no guide other than your own mind. And for fuck sake, listen to something else than psytrance once in a while to freshen up your insight on this music. BELIEVE in yourself. That's the most important. There's only a handful of really original artists out there at the moment I reckon. And the common factor is they had the balls to suck in the beginning... as you can see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrLa70qM1QU A year later: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqsWnEvh9Gk Bom

Fixed the forest image...

Maybe rant is not the right word but enough to caught your attention? Anyway to cut to the chase: Here's full-on... tech-trance... nu-skool goa... suomi... forest... dark-psy/high-tek... But where the F is this bugger? Did Hallucinogen close the portal in 1997? Many thanks for your time and reading.

Thank you friend for the compliment. First the kick was too loud and now too weak. I'll leave it the way it is for now (I've been working on this track for too long...) although you're maybe right.
