    https://www.discogs.com/The-Orb-UFOrb/release/13274 A year later here comes their second album. The Orb sound they established with their first album but a little more experimental and more effects used. I actually likes it better, it gave me the impression that it was a little more playful than their previous releases. A trend that unfortunately wont continue

    Yes, they were. And you can tell they didn't give a F*** about the norm at the time. However, I don't think it has aged very well.

    Shall we start then? First group to make an appearance: The Orb. I first heard The Orb by purchasing the single Toxygene. For a 15 year old already to Rave, Trance and Goa (mostly) didn't sound like anything groundbreaking. It was nice and all but that was it. And that's the case with most of their discography which was purchased much later on. I do not know what the impact was when they first started and how people reacted to the new Ambient House (?) at the time. I can only judge by today's standards (which I now is not fair). https://www.discogs.com/The-Orb-The-Orbs-Adventures-Beyond-The-Ultraworld/release/730292 For a new group to start with a double album, and a weird one that is, it is a big thing. So kudos to that. For sure their music is trippy, distinct and probably fresh at the time. It established The Orb sound that would follow them for many years (not for ever though). Mostly important for historical reasons if nothing else. Hint: If you are planning to purchase it now go for the Deluxe edition. Very well done and it's worth it.

    As discussed in this topic I was long thinking of trying to listen to my entire collection. One album (or disc) every day with headphones on so I can truly dedicate myself to it. There are 2 main reasons to it. Firstly, to discover hidden gems. As you grow tastes changed and you start to listen to the same music in different ways. Secondly, it would help me achieve another goal. I want to concentrate on quality rather quantity of the new music I buy each month. Granted my collection is not that huge (I do not consider myself a collector), less than 1400 releases (or 1700 discs) according to my OrangeCD database. Still, it would take me some years to listen through it all, not counting the new music purchased each month. I expect to fail miserably, but so did I when i first quit smoking but it's been over 3 years now that I'm nicotine (and thousands of other substances) free . No hurt in trying. The way I plan to do it is by choosing a label, artist or series and listen to them in order of being released to have an idea of how the sound changed/evolved throughout the years. The issue is that 2/3 of my collection are back in Greece so I cannot start with what I would really like, that being the releases from the legendary greek magazine Lemon but I'll manage . https://www.discogs.com/label/50787-Lemon-Magazine Each listen will be accompanied by a photo of the physical media and a short blurp. Stay tuned.

    That article is great. It hits home perfectly, and for sooo many of you I imagine

    Well I think that's a bit of overeaction. With any kind of pre-order you run the risk to miss the stated release date. No big deal if you ask me. That's why pre-orders work best with labels and names you trust and you know they will deliver. So, i ask you my good sir. Do YOU trust DAT Records? I do EDIT: BTW, no offence but I don't think the Bandcamp comments are meant for something like that. They should reflect the opinion about the music and since it is not released yet, there should be none. It is very easy to send a direct message to the label.

    Being one of those oldschoolers always complaining about the differences between Goa and NeoGoa Veasna continues to surprise me. He is one of the very few artists that managed to capture the feeling of Goa so well. Pledged. Everyone else should to.

    I will be honest. I did it for purely selfish reasons. I knew I would want it on a CD so I just pushed a little bit to the right direction

    Why not print a short run digipack? I could help

    When the idea of Digital Reprints first came to me, almost 2 years ago, I'd never imagined the weight of the artists' names that I would collaborate with. Entheogenic, Kaya Project, Globular, Cosmosis, Astronaut Ape and lastly KUBA. And now? A label whose releases I closely follow since 1994 (yes, I consider Dragonfly Records and Liquid Sound Design as one entity) is giving me the opportunity to be part of their vision. In true Digital Reprints manner (Limited, Hand-numbered) here comes a 4xCD digipack with a collection of some of their digital releases. To be released on time for holidays prepare for an amazing trip. The signed version is also massive, 4 different artists will sign only 10 copies worldwide for the lucky few. Suns Of Arqa, DUB TREES, Saafi Brothers and I-One come together to create a unique box set. Grab your copy now. https://digitalreprints.bandcamp.com/album/collected-digital-works-part-i

    Unfortunately you have to be a research scientist to know how to properly read a paper. The majority of people don't. Kudos for taking the time and posting it here. I couldn't bother explaining it to people.
