Blu Mar Ten - Adrift on Deep Water Lovely

some more opinions Steve Roach, Vidna Obmana - Well of Souls: Especially disc 2 is a very deep, eerie mystical trip, but might be too boring... it's very stretched, so be careful. Steve Roach - The Magnificent Void: The number one greatest achievement in 'beatless' ambient. The hardest to get into, the most rewarding in the end. Namlook & Tetsu Inoue - Shades of Orion 2: Nice... but too soon it is ZZZzzzzZZzzz for me.... Namlook & Bill Laswell Psychonavigation 2: Apsolutely great from start to finish. Starts with a beautiful and warm track. Tracks 2 and 4 are dark and very alien tracks with supercool sound design. Track 3 is a fantastic space jam. Track 5 a very weird ending.

bedtime play: Troum & Yen Pox - Mnemonic Induction last time was a fascinating experience, maybe this time even better perfect music to get into a nearly asleep state time to go depper than the deppest depths

I'm a fan so I tried not to mention them But I do feel like that.. I can listen to the classics and I never get tired of them (if there's enough pause in between). That's what I mean with timeless. But this goes for any genre and also for more recent music. Why would people be so particularly interested in the latest releases all the time... surely there's tons of great stuff from the past you haven't heard yet... so I guess I was trying to say: if you focus too much on the latest music, you might miss great music from the past!

no, I mean simply (electronic) music in general

Did you know there's tons of great electronic music made before 2006... there's so much from the 00s, 90s, 80s and even still some in the 70s, that I haven't discovered (yet). While I mostly dig in the past (recent and far) to see what great music has been made, some of you only seem interested in the latest releases from artist X on specific psylabel Y. I don't understand this attitude. It's like going with the latest fashion all the time...when the clothes are new they are very trendy and you wear them a lot, but a few years later those clothes will probably be old and forgotten. The latest music doesn't have to be the best...better yet, there's no relation between time and the quality of the music whatsoever. If there have been great releases in 2006, I'll find out about some of them, sometime.... but I'm certainly not in a hurry, because there's still so much I want to hear from the past.

The most retarded way to play an instrument ever

20 or so but there are only about 5 of those that are now to my taste and that I'm satisfied with lots of unfinished crap that I've deleted but if MOD and XM files count I have many more (silly) tracks from age 15/16

Symphoid - One Ticket to Venus what a fabulous track

great idea! this would be a good opportunity to try and make some music again I think it's gonna be inspiring to work with these limitations

LSG - Netherworld (Jules Verne remix) the definition of trance

Trentemoller - Latenight cab driving

Vangelis - Wait For Me so moody and melancholic gotta love it

Ashra - Echo Waves very nice

PAUL ELLIS - SHINING PERFECT STRUCTURE IN CHAOS OH I LOVE IT!! From the first time I heard it until now. Goosebumps everytime. Simply an amazing rush of superb sounds and sequences.

IMO one of their best NP: Juno Reactor - Conquistador awesome too, both parts

Ozric Tentacles - Sultana Detrii awesome

PRODIGY - G-FORCE

Ulrich Schnauss - Monday Paracetamol I'm starting to rate him to be among the greatest artists in electronic music.

Groove.nl is a good online store, I bought some discs there myself. The owner is a musician called Ron Boots. I've heard some of his stuff and he's pretty good...though it's not really my style. They have a sort of community forum at www.emforum.nl (in english) about electronic music and ambient which has some interesting topics sometimes. The visitors there are a totally different crowd. Mostly middle aged guys who were already fans of electronic music in the 70s and like to listen to what they call 'EM' (which is basicly all the 'classic' electronic music artists and their countless immitators), but also ambient.

I'd better start thinking of one already. 3000 posts on an internet forum. A milestone or a new low. Not quite sure

Pleiadians - Maia

part IX is my favorite of the bunch.. absolutely perfect chillout music part IV, VII, VIII all have some really cool stuff VIII is live btw

I probably have the fastest connection of pienews. So if people really can't get them just name a few and I'll upload them somewhere else on some filesharing site if you want...(that is if they work here)
