Children

Yes the poll is about to start, but I prefer that 2001 ends before making that poll, or that wouldn't be fair enough for the latest albums released :-)

You should take a loog at this link : http://goatrance.free.fr/contest/contest01.htm All these tracks are unsigned at this moment so, in case of you'd like to release one of them just contact me at children01@free.fr and I'll redirect you to the author :-)

He made a mistake that I exploited ... you can be sure he received the mail :-)

I FINALLY found it here in Paris and ... that's a PURE JEWEL ! All Tracks are good but the Shpongle and Doof ones are just wonderful :-) That's such quality stuff then I can't believe it was composed in 1998 ! One advice : listen to the WHOLE comp loud in your car if you have good stereo ... you won't believe it ! All Tracks are made in part by Simon Posford except the Doof and Total Eclipse one, which is also very nice. Rating : 8.5/10

Hehe probably early January 2002 :-) Anyway, that forum won't be updated that much maybe except for some colors ... cause it's all made in PHP+MYSQL and we are not the authors -> very difficult to fix a bug on a code you didn't write :-)

No I'm not that rude, hope he will intelligent enough to understand that was a warning to be more respetful and less aggressive in his reviews ... I have all infos necessary to ban him in case of he doesn't understand (I keep some infos about that kind of people in an Excel file in order to be more careful to what they write and have full control on them on the future version of this site) ...

Here was my review about this album : "Well I also think that's their worst album ... I can't say it's really bad, but I don't have favourites on it ... however I don't think there's really Bad Tracks, but most of them are a little annoying ... Rating : 5/10" Note how rude I am (irony) in the review ... Now he's one review I read today in the reviews collector : "ANNOYING ???????????????????????? YOU CHILDREN IS THE MOST STUPID PERSON I HAVE EVER SEEN, YOU EVEN LOOK UGLY, WHAT TO HELL ARE YOU TRIPPING ?????????? ANNOYING ? THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS EVER AND ALL TRACKS ARE FAVOURITES!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE ALL KIDS HERE, JUST KNOW HOW TO @!#$ AND CRITICISE.....BAD PEOPLE, BAD...THESE ARE ARTSITS WERE TALKING ABOUT, NOT FRAUDS!!!!!!!!!! SHAME ON YOU, AND YOU ARE SOME TRANCERS.....BLAH!!!!!! Anonymous" Just to say that this "Anonymous" guy is not that anonymous for me and to remember to people who like to write such agressive posts that by writing "anonymous" in their messages they are NOT free to say anything they want and are not that anonymous at least for Mars and me ! So please think to it twice before writing such reviews ... I'm sure he liked the E-Mail I've sent him as reaction very much ...... I like that kind of reviews from childish people who don't have the courage to write such messages under something else than "anonymous" and attack persons themselves instead of arguing on the release they talk about ... and I like it even more when I KNOW who they really are ...... Anyway, the more we read that kind of stuff (and I can say you he's not alone to write such reviews), the more we're thinking of forcing people to identify themselves on the future version of the site before writting reviews & messages on this forum ... in that way I hope there will not be off-topic or agressive posts anymore ! And he says we are not trancers ... don't think he knows what trance is all about ... cause such an aggressive person is certainly LESS a trancer that any of us as he doesn't understand its spirit ...

Okay thx a lot ;-)

Someone who works with me is searching for a site which could contain lots of samples you can use to make Tracks ... do u know such sites ?

Well for me the quality of the music depends on the artist, but the sound quality depends on the gear for sure ... that's why I said it seems Buzz provides better sound quality ... I never used both these programs, that's just a supposition I made by seing why there was 40 Fruity Loops Tracks and 15 Buzz ones in the contest, and 3 Buzz Tracks are winners whereas 0 Fruity Loops ones won ...

In case of some of you are interested : Neurotoxin : For Red Buzz tracker (www.buzzmachines.com) Psychopat : Spiral Landing PIII computer + MC505 De-Fect : Bouncing Shrooms And Giggleing Gnomes Buzz tracker (www.buzzmachines.com) Andromeda : Amiga Custom (self-made) soft-synth + m68k system Synsun : TNC 2001 Hardware Asura : System Babel (Code Eternity Rmx) I don't know ... Hardware I guess :-) Artha : Control Buzz tracker (www.buzzmachines.com) Epsilon : Cosmic Vortex (Creepy Mix) Reason Promon : Throbbing Hobbits Clavia Nord MicroModular, Soundblaster Live, Cubase VST 5 The Bastard : Crispy Crunchy Buffet Beast Mackie 24*4 board, akai sampler, access virus, cubase 5 (PC) De-Fect : Germs, Germs, Psychedelic Germs Buzz tracker (www.buzzmachines.com) Amygdala : Synaptic Misfire Waldorf MWXT, Roland JV-2080, Sampler, Audio Synsun : Replycant Hardware Vax : Protoplasma Hardware Agalactia : Awkward Lightrate Nordlead2,PC Audio programs Torakka : Greasy Fingers I don't know Solstice : Ricochet PC Running Logic, Attack +ES1, Korg MS2000r, Yamaha CS6X, KorgNS5R+vocals CONCLUSION : As there was 2.5 times more Tracks made with Fruity Loops than Buzz, it seems Buzz is better than Fruity Loops to make good stuff, as there's no Fruity Loops winner Track here. Anyway, as you can see there is no Impulse Tracker used in the winner Tracks -> for the always negative people : please stop saying this music was all made with old trackers ......

Hum if I remeber well this Real Rush last Track is called "Second Step To The Stars". There's a first version called "Step To The Stars" at the beginning of the "Phenomena" album.

You should also think about labels like Phantasm or Out Of Orion about quite melodic stuff ... In general just see whose labels are new labels (by using our label releases search engine for example), and contact them, cause you have probably more chances to interest them if they just start their label, as they are probably looking for artists to work with ...

Don't hesitate to send me the link of your website in case of you have one, thjat would permit to increase the "MP3 links" section :-)

Well actually we don't want to give those rankings cause the aim is not to discourage people who have a bad ranking ... but if you really want to know your ranking you can send me a mail and I'll tell you your ranking ... even if it's bad

To answer to some of you : The visitors were the only ones to vote, except that we made best ambient Tracks more prior than 14th to 17th psy winners in order to have various stuff on the CD, not only psy, and because a CD must finish with a more chill-out Track :-) We didn't decide to remove stuff from the same artists, cause the aim was to have a CD as best as possible, so, as it seems the 2 De-Fect and Synsun are very appreciated, we could not remove one of them and replace it by another Track ... But please don't start a debate here, that's not the aim, use the forum instead for that if you want to start one :-)

Well the problem is that we don't have enough space for that ... really sorry :-(

Well ... you can imagine that I already thought to the problem ;-) I'll contact winners again and will ask them to send me another version, at 160 or maybe 192 kbps, of their Track.

You can E-Mail me and I'll explain you how we're going to handle these 2 problems, but I can't say it here, not to explain eventual cheaters how we will operate ...

Yes that would be great :-) But don't dorget that there is still 16 Tracks missing ;-) Where would you put them ??? On a personal FTP server ?

Correction : 183, and I'm afraid that the votes won't start now, but tomorrow ...

;-) The final number is 182 The missing ones should be online tonight, and the votes will start (but take all the time needed to vote, you will have till November 1 to send your vote)

In case of you stil ldidn't notice it, we'll announce the results of the "Tracks Contest" on November 1, after people will have voted for the best Tracks of the current 116 Tracks participating ... only new authors here ... so maybe you'll be very interested by some of the winning Tracks ... wait & see on November 1, when the winners will be announced (I can guarantee u there's really good stuff) !

Because u didn't fill in the form in the "Contest" section ... please do it or I miss some informations to put it on the site :-(

Urgh no :-) Not more than 192 please ;-)
