I want, too!

Looks like apps stuff, blaahh... You cannot leave fb: that's an order!

What the hell is Minds?

It was not your official account, but personal. Official pages have the possibility to like the page and they are not based on friendship requests. If the page name would have been your real name, not the artist name, I don't think that'd happen. I have my fb page name exactly like the name stands in my passport (they can close me down only if I get illegal or likewise), but one of my friend (not an artist) with personal profile was closed down because he had imaginary name on fb and fb asked him to use his official name which he did and got the account back. The fb policies like this have one aim: to make money through advertising. Also, artist pages may lose inactive likers because the inactive do not visit the page and don't click the ads. I cannot say what to do, but know this: we all support you and are with you and because fb doesn't track me (I think), I took the priviledge to update my status, with friend restrictions ofc, yesterday: Just a short announcement: if you wonder where Lunar Dawn's fb profile went; he's having some issues with fb policies..not him, but fb, ya know.. private profile vs. page issues, I think. Let's hope he'll get them solved very soon. Mirza's comment: That's so stupid, I hate FB for being so destructive to artists... Their policies are a joke. (liked by me and Exogen), more Mirza:The worst thing is that you potentially lose all your contacts over night, without any prior notification that your profile might be closed down. Dmitry: Stupid rules!!!! Sretno!

I have no problems with it. Try this..but these are ofc a part of the track (Filter 2 is number 11 track on the album and check also Engine One, number 7 and Freek Funk after that is more melodic) https://pro.beatport.com/release/freek-funk/1343063

Thanks for the historical heads up. Since I started this thread I have been pondering over the topic and well..I guess I have to live with this knowledge now but still I don't want to stumble upon recognizable borrowed or stolen sounds that belong to some other artist especially concerning goa but I am glad it does not happen often. I just lose the feeling if I notice these things. And a good feeling is the most important matter to me when listening to music.

De Generic and A New Sound, out of which the first is the one I liked more. Did I ever say that your house act is super awesome and professional stuff? I am absolutely in love with it. This techno is so far nothing special Maybe it is good because I don't need to look up to you all the time, hahaha..doing that enough

Well, Choxon..your stuff I downloaded today was listenable but you can do better (I am honest now)

@ Padmapani: what about this album Freek Funk by Luke Slater (some raw "assembly line" tracks + also Detroit type tracks e.g. Love)? I haven't searched the whole thread so I don't know if this has already been presented here.

Trying is not an option, doing is, when it comes to S&C Thanks buddies..again!

Oh, thanks. I think so, too. But just wait until COB's 9th studio album comes out October 2 nd, 2015. I have huge expectations of it because of what has been going on with the band lately. First of all, the second lead guitarist Roope Latvala left the band because "the others wanted to go back and make music with fury of younger years" and Roope was not willing to it, and because Alexi Laiho has told the media it will be the best album for years and he has never worked so hard before with any album in his life. He said it will be way faster and darker than the previous ones What comes to my fanship, don't worry, I do not overact: supporting and buying music and giving feedback is the thing

Nah, he's just signing up to the queue. Let the boy be productive! Richpa is wearing his daddy sunglasses today, I see. And @ Kristijan: I added your alias my psynews friend. Now your my double friend but Lunar Dawn is a duo last time I checked so it will do for Sasa's absence. I am certain he never joins the forum, probably isn't even lurking in here, hahaha. I call him Mr. Offline and I appreciate the habit cause he's probably with music while we have our time of decadence here

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haha. At least you asked Is the nerve back in function? And thanks for all the stuff you wrote in above post.

I interpret that your almost Raja Ram. Actually better imo. Like? What's that? Lame man. I LOVE Lunar Dawn

Hahha..I was thinking first like wtf? Kristijan, lol lol

Your stuff is all good. And I am more than glad you established an account here. Busy man, busy times but keep on posting

Yes! Yes! I did not know that. Hahaaaaaaa Great to see my fav producer here on psynews! Welcome! And @ Krev: nice to meet you and welcome :-)

Hi! This is my new treasure, so cool First forest album I have liked the whole way through. I don't like heavy darkpsy+forest combo but this isn't such. This is fluffy, playful & sound world impacts being very descriptive of the geographical context unfolding the saga of northern wilderness. I absolutely love artwork and Swedish vocals and even some spoken Finnish words and lol..I detected that Chisu Fb page update from June 10th tells that the label has a new comp coming; very good. Somehow, I dunno, this had some power to set me free from normal goa formulas that I am bound to listen. The release did a favor to me, so I thought I'd let the style stay with me

Now in YouTube

Let's go here https://www.psynews.org/forums/topic/70582-recycling-of-sounds-in-production/

Yeah..this topic is now taking the path I wanted to. You really gave it a lot of thought today, Starkraver, and I appreciate this and your previous comments in another thread. First of all: let's make the terminology clear so that we talk about the same things and don't get lost in a verbal jungle. By recycling I do not mean remixing. I was thinking when I started the topic that somebody is gonna bring it up and it came right away. In remixing I can tolerate, even appreciate, recycling far better than in making an original track from scratch. Even crappy rmix never ruins the original..it stays safe. And yeah, brilliant rmix adds to the common good for sure. But I always demand written credits if someone's previous work is used the way that's RECOGNIZABLE AND TRACEABLE. In remixing the both producers agree in terms and conditions but the third party= owner of the sound being recycled i.e. added in the original track in the production process of a remix should always get asked/informed/credited. Well, because examples of real life tell the story best, I was speechless after hearing in another thread linked above that my idol of 16 fuckin' years of my life became popular and a big name and rich just because he took a signature sound of a track and made it a signature sound of his. A carpet has just been wrenched under my feet. If I had known the year 2003 when the CD with the track released 1999 came out I would have never bought it, neither some other albums afterwards. There's no creativity, no orginality, no heroism. He is talented. Going crooked is a talent, too. And I have rejoiced all these years that he is Finland's musical export product, too, that he sure is, but all the fame came along sucking that sound. From a producer's perpective: I have no idea how I'd react (how even worse I'd react) if someone took my sound, RECOGNIZEABLE and TRACEABLE back to me without asking permission. Sometimes these questions discussed here are a matter of lawsuit and copyright, too.

Is it right to use someone else's sounds, even the "signature" sound of a track and to what extent and what should be the level of announcing it/giving credits to the original artwork. If the producer is recycling, is he talented and is he a wanted one in the eyes of the scene? The values of creativity and respect of others' work are eonian, but when reality meets resources, recycling happens. Should the producer give the whole thing a second thought, let it rest a bit and see if there's another way, or should e.g. dead lines be blindly followed? I gathered the threads this has been freshly brought up and those who are interested in discussing the topic pick it up from the links. https://www.psynews.org/forums/topic/60002-the-official-psynews-welcomed-topic/page-7?do=findComment&comment=1052694 https://www.psynews.org/forums/topic/65428-etnica-live-in-athens-1996/page-2?do=findComment&comment=1052699 https://www.psynews.org/forums/topic/70460-lectro-spektral-daze-voyage-in-your-mind-timewarp-rec/

I haven't lost my sense of perspective and I also think this track is awesome, just that "overused" sample doesn't make me feel conveniet if I stumble upon it. Yes, that particular sample disgusts me, not the track and not the artist, because here the sample is just a tiny part of otherwise well turned-out piece. The topic of sampling itself is an interesting subject for sensible further discussion and it is not only my opinion in today's comments in the thread linked above.

Thanks for pointing this out...but not sufficient enough for me; it is mentioned in notes of the original 12'', not in credits, and further distribution by Solaris Recordings doesn't mention a word, neither does Taika album notes or credits on Discogs (first appearance of Unity on an album). Dammit I wanna see Taika album's CD sheet; that counts to me much; the CD is in my daddy's place, haha; using old man's house as a storage nowadays. But it is better than nothing, that note on Discogs. Yet I am angry for a couple of reasons: the sample is not a part of Unity but Unity is the sample and for that Orkidea is our beloved "flawless" trance veteran with a lot of fame here and abroad (not only in music scene but employers even became interested in him and he worked as a sound design manager in Nokia mobile telephones) and it all started because of Unity. @ Dolmot This should be a topic of its own, yes. Anybody noticed what I wrote recently in labels news and artist announcements of new LSD album? And haha, that basement in Brixton
