    He's done some really nice commercial trance recently. I heard Paul Oakenfold spin some. Yeah Oakenfold's an asswipe but sometimes I crave commercial trance for a night out

    Ahhh ok thanks

    Curious to know who Verschiedene Künstler is? When I put the CD in to my computer this was the artist name for each track?

    Yeah they go for way too much second hanbd in Austrlia. It's madness. I'm trying to decide if I should go a Nord Lead 1 for $500 or a Novation Supernova rack for $800. Actually I have sent the seller a request for noth for $1100 but no response since last night. Fingers crossed.

    Any proof of this before hopes get up? Twisted Mushroom EP? My god, so he got the IM guys to remix some of the Twisted tracks? This makes me want to cry way befor eit comes out I was made to see IM live earlier this year at a big EDM festival to babysit my nephew. It was really really bad. Much more idfficult to handle than even their recent album work. It was like taking the worst heavy metal band and makinghtem 10000x worse!!

    I saw posted on facebook that they said it will make old school goa fans happy & they posted a picture of a Roland Sh-101. I hope they are telling the truth.

    Looks good & sounds great! My realization was that for what I needed to spend on modular I can get a couple of nice synths, audio input device, mixing desk, monitors & some acoustical gear for my new studio space to get the sound nice.

    It's spring/summer where I'm now. I'm listening a lot less to psy/goa trance, more deep house/techno/ambient & drum & bass. I barely even notice the change in music when seasons change but for me Winter is def. the time for Goa & Psy. How about y'all?

    All I can say is Friday afternoon's are much better spent with a Moog

    Just heading out to pick up my Sub Phatty now. I'll let you know what I think and post a pic later. It's my first synth since 2000. Back then I needed money so I sold my roland collection to pay for a 3 year trip overseas (303, 909, 808 & a few keyboard synths). I miss them now but would never pay the amount they go for!!

    Damn! We'd actually planned to go to Israel around then but sadly we have some stuff to sort out in another country with my wife's extended family instead. Would've been so good to see this line up!

    Yeah it's so tempting to extend credit limit with bank and buy it all at once! I just bought a Moog Sub Phatty, MicroBrute (Preorder) & M-Audio Profire 2626. Next on the list in Feb next years is a pair of Adam a5x monitore. Then I have to choose between Prophet 12 or modular.

    Ordered. Draeke has mentioned about a month ago on Facebook that once this has been sold, and the new DAT releases sorted he'll look in to the reissue in 2014. Think he indicated probably around the end of the first quarter in 2014.

    The MicroBrute has VCA functions which make it ideal for controlling modular, plus for less than the cost of say a Novation Impulse 49 you get a great little fully analogue monosynth that can be used for controller purposes as well. Yeah modular is expensive but if you find a good shop they should be able to do you a great Doepfer system for the cheap. Fr example though I'm cutting costs by going the low cost 9u Doperfer cas which here is S450-500AUD alone. that leaves me around $3700 for modules which sounds like a lot but really it'll be a good system only. When I add a full The harvestmen system then it'll be a great system. Wehn I then add a maybe a 500 series system when I'm famous and rocking Ibiza like Sven Vath (sarcasm BTW, sarcasm) it'll be awesome. Although if it means more gear I'll happily make commercial EDM

    Sorry mate, I got carried in my response. i've just heard so many people complain about crowd noise in live recording in this scene when to me it adds to the live feeling Peace BTW it was a decade ago when I spoke to Mr Posford so at that time he was considering a Hallucinogen 3 but it sounds like now maybe the best we can hope for is a compilation of unreleased or experimental/ambient stuff. I wouldn't complaing, I do think he should dig out a bunch of oldies, get them mastered by Tim Schuldt or Colin Oood and put out a 2 x CD. Disc 1 the best of remastered, disc 2 unrelease killargh hubba hubba b!tch plz stuff. ON TOPIC I love UX & this release will be amazing. I will be getting at least 1 copy of the CD & hope maybe for T-shirts

    Do you reade what you write? Seriously? Have you ever listened to a live album before? For one thing, people are not machines, they will cheer when they feel like and dance when they feel like. If you cannot understand this and enjoy the release and feel the vibe then why not leave it be and go listen to yur studioe recordings instead? Really, can you see every single person and tell me what they are doing? What about the guy at the bar who is having a drink and not dancing? What about the two girls over the left who have bad back and cannot dance? I'm kidding right but seriously youre complaing is a bit um over the top. I understand, I have heard from Simon Posford when he was out hear a few years ago & I had a beer with him. He said he would not put out a live album for this same reason, too many people will complain if it has crowd noise, others will say if it doesn't it sounds too much like a studio recording. He & many other musicians who are leaving this genre to find new crowd are actually pretty tired of the psy/goa crowd who consider themselves above the average listener & put too much pressure on the musicians. As Far As I'm comncerned, hearing the crowd whenever add to the vibe. It makes me feel like I am there, and if it wasn't the time that I'd choose to cheer then so be it. I'd rather have this version than not at all. Anyway ok sorry if I hurt you or broke any rules but sometime thing just need to be left alone.

    Ott I find boring, and most "psy chill". TIP, mystery of yeti 1 & 2 & Dakini Records are the only ones that interest me.

    Ooops I meant modular & non-modular forum.

    Personally if I was you I'd buy the Arturia MicroBrute first (it's stunning for the price), and it works perfectly as a eurorack controller, so you could later add either a premade euro system like the Foundation or else make a small one yourself for under $1000. You need to spend some time at www.muffwiggler.com it's not dodgey, it's the best euro & IMO synth forum in the world.

    Just curious to know if this is a mixed album or is is a 2 second gap? I'll get it either way but just wondering
  22. Balance
    Yeah it can be as much or as little as you want. I'd suggest a good set up would be something like the Pittsburgh Modular Foundation 2.0 which is a complete voice analog modular synthesizer prebuilt. Details http://pittsburghmodular.com/foundation/ otherwise you could go the Dark Energy II from Doepfer fro a nice semi-modular http://www.doepfer.de/Dark_Energy_II_e.htm but if you get that you'll probably want to get the the sequencer as well http://www.doepfer.de/Dark_Time_e.htm or else within in that price range I'd suggest the Moog Sup Phatty or cheaper options are the Novation Bass Station II, Arturia Minibrute or Korg Ms-20 Mini (if you can get past the issues). Hobby wise I'd go something at least semi-modular as it will keep you occupied for years.

    Thanks. I did own quite a few Parvati releases but did not enjoy them so they were sold off. I'll check the others you mention out

    For me going modular has very little to do with being able to easily dial up a sound and play it. For that I'll have some off the shelf keyboard synths. If I really wanted that I'd just get a Virus TI which IMHO is just a big fat VST in a case with keys. Modular for me is to learn and play with synthesis, it's not about rushing but only synthesis exploration. I actual don't plan on really using my modular in actual tracks, but to explore the boundaries of analog synthesis. I have borrow a friends 12u system many times and just spent hours on a single patch tweaking minimally. It's epic exploration and with the proliferation of modules becoming available there's endless exploration depending on your preferences. Originality IMHO doesn not come from using certain synths for certain sounds that so ans so used to make such and such track, but to spend your lifetime finding your own sounds. I could not care less if I release any tracks or whatever with my propesed layout, at my age post 30 I've got enough backing behind me now to be able to afford a wonderul musical setup for myself. If others get to hear and enjoy it then that is wonderful but I am & will continue to make music for me first.

    Here's a picture of where my modular is at now, this is very basic though as I'm awaiting a few rumour to come true first. I'm also adding the Borg dual filter as well as the TouellSkuoarn Strakal Brulu {Re Greñv Eo} http://equinoxoz.com/shop/strakal-brulu-re-grenv-eo/ for example.
