Of course! We've cancelled everything. We might think about doing it next year if things settle down. I'm just trying to find a way to make sure we either get our money back or credit for all the flights. The worst thing would be to travel now, get sick & out additional strain on another countries health system when the local population needs it.

At this point if we can get any of our money back we will be very happy. The overreaction by the governments is currently mind boggling. their Intentionally screwing everything over so they can rebuild build the new world in to an Orwellian nightmare.

Trying not vomit because we were supposed to head off in a dream family holiday to Europe in a week, and now we can't even find out what our options are for cancelling or rescheduling. Thousands of dollars potentially lost, and seriously if you look at all the stats the world has gone insane.

If we don't go we lose about $20,000 in costs because travel insurance won't cover us & with my wife's disability we need quality accommodation so we're gonna go. Italy canceled for sure, probably extend our time in Oslo by a day & then go back for a few extra days in London. We've got friends in London.

Yeah Italy we need to talk to our travel agent about now. we are heading to London on 22nd March, have a week with friend there then head to Paris for 8 days, then to Oslo for the Easter weekend as I'm attending the Inferno Metal Festival. we are booked after Oslo for 5 days in Italy, then just 2 night in London before heading home. Will look at other options for Italy now, but maybe just back to London and spend more time with out friends there who have accommodation for us which saves $$. the problem is now will travel insurance cover our cancellations for Italy?

If you like this stuff check out Samaa Records which is a similar style. I follow this as well as Forestdelic. Also Tengri & Nobot on Parvati Records have really taken that style to much newer quality levels as well. https://samaarecords.com

Saturday evening groove

I can't stand the majority of this super fast style but Alice-D has caught my attention in 2019, and this release has some really nice ideas and collaborations in it.

Anima & Animus Inside the unknown depths of consciousness, two sides of the soul coexist in a devine dance, elevating themselves into a celestial manifestation towards the mind. Anima animus; dancing in complete harmony to achieve self union and inner peace. credits released February 25, 2020 Alice-D Records 2020 https://alice-drecords.bandcamp.com/album/necropsycho-anima-animus

Early Wizzy Noise, The Delta, Tim Schuldt & Fuzzion for ultimate dark tech trance fusion for me with nice industrial overlays.

Hi all I'm heading to Europe shortly for a holiday with my wife & little kids for a few weeks and love meeting people. We've booked London, Paris, Oslo & Italy (which will likely change). Anyone who's around those parts I'm always keen to say hi. Send me a message to chat if you're keen. cheers :)

yeah I bought some of the releases just now after an old friend from the scene said I might from Sangoma Records and I am really enjoying the sounds, to me reminds a bit of my fav Timecode releases which I know they are related to. Yeah I"m sure Nano would sound good in the right party environment on a big system but I"m a Dad now and rarely get out to gigs other than metal bands cause they don't play that late haha.

Cool to see this, but I always find watching a live show I wasn't at I want quite carry the vibes. Popped on the remastered vinyls instead, they are just so nice in a properly treated studio. Makes me melt and escape from the chaos of existing for a little bit.

Curious if anybody here other than me follows Zenon Records? They have always been a staple in my psy diet, not just because Sensient lived near me when Blue Neevus was realeased and Zenon started up, but especially the last 2 years where I feel they have really become a really quality prog label with psychedelic moments. Other prog labels have IMO either become a sad amalgamation of full on with the more boring elements of prog psy, or just a cut n' paste style where nothing stands out a original at all (Iboga main, Iono, Spiral Trax to name a few). Iboga though have really blown me away a bit with their side label Iboga Tech which IMO ticks a lot of the original Scandinavian progressive boxes. Sensient did an amazing 5 hour set back here in Melbourne, Australia just before last Xmas, and it was such a nice deep tribal psychedelic trip. Like a warm organic blanket safe to lose your mind in. So any other Zenon fans here?

Remember it's not usually what you say but how you say it that is offensive. He original post comes across as a little aggressive I think. I must admit that from about 2010 until 2019 I had given up on the music in this scene completely. Everything was so boring to me, and that's why I went back to exploring my pre-Goa interests like drum n bass, Goa, house & IDM. such a long break was great as there was much amazing work being done in other genres, and last year I started again to check the music in this scene and I must thank Global Sect & Zenon for making be dig deeper. The sound I miss most was the crossover over of Industrial & EBM. Project by Tim Schuldt, Xenomoroh, early Sandman. Really also the experimental styles on va's like Tantrance 6 as well as the early Boshke Beats/Horns n Hoofs sounds. but I can accept these styles are not being made for various reasons, and just listen to the styles that get me feeling. as a producer of music for advertising & short films now, there is nothing more I hate than people who are fans but not involved in project giving unwanted advice. it's fine to tell a musician to experiment & make whatever you want, but if you want to earn anything or make a career you also have to consider what the majority want and not what the minority crave. it might be selling out, but sometimes you have to sellout to also finance the real side of your passion as well. Anyway what a diatribe haha.

For this stuff I have always just followed the Balance mix series. They are classics of the genre & you can get many of the later releases unmixed or even vinyl. https://balancemusic.com.au For me the weeks from vol. 1 through to 22 are the best.

Of course things change with age. In this scene I find I am finally enjoying the minimal/progressive sounds lot more. Only Iboga Tech & Zenon tickle that aspect for me. Early Suntrip also was just really not for me but the last 2 years they somehow have slipped nicely in to my listening. Forest always interested me, and Parvati for me have been really the only label from their first release until now. I never like Hi Tech sound, but Alice-D in 2019 has grabbed me with their experimental style of this. The albums during that time for me have started telling really nice details. Especially Dark Whisper with the ethnic vibes just makes me smile. I also went from casual heavy metal to a big interest in Black Metal the last 18 months. It's eased a bit now, but am going to be at the Inferno Metal Festival in Norway this year. Seeing Mayhem perform in Oslo is just too awesome to miss, and their new album really was a return to glory. My 7 year old son is being in to what is popular at school, so hip hop style for him. I just cannot click with it, but we meet halfway with drum & bass as well as my old collection of classic house/Detroit techno vinyl from the 90's. It's super cute watching him dance to those tunes.

Yeah I miss it. I also find this style reminds me more of the early twilight sound. A lot of people seem to indicate Nano does this style, but I find they are not very melodic & their releases star to sound very same same after awhile. Vertigo label from Russia really nailed the crossover for me of fullon & forest sound but they have gonna real quite, no other label seems to fill the gap.

Recently bought all the Suntrip releases from 2019 & 2020. Currently BOTFB album. It's pretty good, but I feel like the tracks meander with no real direction. I know it's his style but it gets quite repetitive. Actually if anything It's making me crave a listen to Tim Schuldts early work that had this darker/spooky vibe but actually took it somewhere.

That track is beautiful. Who does the vocals? Really nice feeling to this. Am haven't a been feeling that emotionally great this week & that track just brought out the tears. Will buy the album. Thanks for the music!!

Mike D from Australia. feel free to ban me again but I promise to behave... I've got 2 kids now, have been through some serious mental health issues but got the right help the last 8 years. No meds. Loads of exercise, no alcohol/drugs & a great wife n' psychologist. Sorting out my abusive childhood/teen/early adulthood has really helped me realize why I was being such a dick online and offline.

Amazing label. Thank you so much. 2017 after my eldest sister killed her self after a fast mental health breakdown this label & Zenon Records were the two musical style that got me through the grief when I needed to be lifted up. just ordered the new 2020 shirt. Cannot wait to wear. it much respect.

Been here many times and have a bad rep. just came back as I got back in with some new labels now that the quality of music is so good again. anyway I'll be kicked off again shortly but before I am super serious apologies for all the shit I did. I am now spending my elder years trying hard to make amends with the universe. Much love.
