Mind Altering Drugs It still probably holds the crown as my all time favorite psy trance track. I know nothing like it. It is just perfect, despite the drug related samples, which in each and every other track I've ever heard I just cannot stand

I'm no hippy, but... Tandu- Multimoods (1997) (Phonokol Records) Pigs In Space- S/T (1998) (Phonokol Records) Thanks to PsyGoatDelic (When it comes to israeli releases I'm your man) AKA Moti! :posford: ...and... Prana- Geomantik (2004) (remaster, reissue) (Avatar Records) Cosmosis- Akashic (2005) (Holophonic Records) V/A Hallu-cinations (1999) (T.I.P. World) ...from the beatspace shop.

Discs arrived today, both of 'em brand new, and thus in perfect condition. Everything went more than smooth with Moti. Thanks a bunch, man. Great trader, patient, polite, fair, honest and really accessible and communicative. Highly recommended!

Thank you for your reply. The reason I was wondering is that Suntrip Records is still considered a relatively fresh label, and most of their releases already seem to be sold out. There are many more older, and at first glance, more known and affirmed labels which never seem to sell out their releases, or, at least not so seemingly fast. So I thought that if I knew the approximate amount of CDs printed per single release, the supply & demand relationship would be more clear to me, that's all As for the PM/your own shop, there is really no need for that, as I've been a dedicated follower since day one :posford:

I voted for Shpongle's track, ...And The Day Turned To Night, as it's the number which got me into their music in the first place. Mystery Of The Yeti, I occasionally (READ: twice a year max) listen to, but it's just too meditative and sloooooooow to really grab hold of my attention. I can listen to M.O.T.Y. as some random background music, just for the hell of not enjoying pure silence, but it's not a project I can really get into. Shpongle, on the other hand, I am pretty much crazy about ever since first being introduced to them with the closing track of their debut album, "Are you shpongled?"

While recently browsing around all major (and a few minor) on-line music shops, in order to try and decently fill up my Christmas shopping cart with an always firm, albeit limited budget, I noticed how Suntrip Records releases were almost everywhere Out Of Stock. OK, www.beatspace.com still has the last three releases in stock, but the other shops are all emptied out. Now, my question...: Out of curiosity, could I/we know (if it is not a business secret not to be shared with the public) how many copies of a single CD get printed? Or maybe an average of all the releases thus far... I don't care to know the sales, the earnings, who sold most and whose album turned out to be a financial fiasco... I don't wanna know that. I would just like to satisfy my little curiosity and know what is the amount of Suntrip's releases that gets out of the printing process, and then distributed to shops? P.S.: I apologize if I'm being too nosy, it wasn't made to provoke any fights or uncomfortable situations...

I gotta say this is one of the rare albums I'm digging from the kick off down to the very last note! I mean, mon dieu, these garcons francaises were on some other shit back then- just check that first CD out- top drawer goa trance material teaching the rest how it is to be done! The harmony is there non stop, the psychedelic rock guitar riffs which were notable on their debut are toned down in favor of some of the most blissfull and emotional old school melodies. Dance to classics like The Furnace, Chaotic Circus, Pulsar Glitch or Area 51 until you drop dead or trip to each and any of these gargantuan tunes while chilling on your sofa, the effect and rawness of these numbers should be felt either way And if you by any chance feel like you haven't been given your money's worth with the disc #1, the second CD provides some mid tempo goa trance tracks in the same vein as Tandu's classic New Aura. You know, not the slow, crawling ambient, yet not the pumping, fist-in-the-air climax packed type of music, but that smooth, hypnotic stuff, drifting like whales in the darkness I'm no big fan of downtempo/ambientesque stuff, but what the second part of "Violent Relaxation" has in store for the listeners is some of the sweetest and touching goan soundscapes ever created. The melodies are powerful, memorable, pick any which one you want and it's bound to get stuck in your head like... forever! Pick any kick, bass line, sound effect or mood these tracks portray and astonishment is guaranteed! Hearing a Total Eclipse live circa '95-'97 must have been an out of this world experience. Whereas "Delta Aquarids" may sound dated, it still is, and quite probably always will be, like a big, but unpolished diamond in the rough, but "Violent Relaxation" is the french trio polishing, cutting 'n' sharpening that diamond to guarantee and secure its timeless value and eternal status as a prime example others will forever be measured against. 10/10, for each CD on its own, and a 20/10 for the album as a whole. A true masterpiece.

Do I need a point? Do I need to prove a point to someone who posted over 16,000 smileys all over the place? I had no point. But I am amazed at your recently acquired maturity.

In all fairness and honesty, I have absolutely no idea whether any of my vinyls are rare or not... I mainly pay attention to music and its quality, the scarsity of a release does not and cannot impress me. However, and anybody please correct me if I am wrong, over the years these 12" somehow gained the status of being rare, at least judging by what others thought of them... http://www.discogs.com/release/145472 (it's a CD Maxi release) http://www.discogs.com/release/183012 http://www.discogs.com/release/147499

At the tender age of 8-9 I only started to drool after The Prodigy. "Voodoo People" and "Poison" were so huge it was impossible to miss 'em. Psy trance? If back in '94 you knew what that was and were living in Croatia, you're my hero... I got into psy trance when psy trance parties started to take place in Zagreb... I mean, I knew who MWNN and A.P. were, but I considered 'em all techno acts

I had like 6 signed copies of the stuttering legend Scatman John's debut album. I also caught in my teeth one of those rhinoesque masks during a Slipknot concert. J/k, there is no thing as an impossible to get CD. If it was printed, it exists. If it exists, it can be found. If it can be found, one can become its owner. Period. Doesn't take a wise man to conjure that one up, now does it? The fact a physical CD can be found does not imply that it will be easy. A red Ferrari is not too hard to find strolling down the highway, but owning one, that is completely another matter.

Yeah? I wasn't aware of this fact... Why does the inability to make loops qualify psytrance as an immediately superior genre? I really don't understand.

I have never, not even once, listened to this album. I was aware of its existance, but it wasn't until I read Jon's flattering review that I really started to take interest... And if you put it in the same category (to a certain extent, if I understood properly) with older releases from some of the above "bolded" artists, it must be an album worth checking out! :posford:

reger? Is that you? Is that really the mr. 450 smiley posts per day regargh? Is it? It can't be... You abbandoned ship, man...

LOL, my man, this has got to be THE greatest and by far THE funniest post I have ever heard about or read in my thus far short life time!!! If nothing, you sure as hell are humble...

Spectacular news However, what would be even more spectacular is enabling paypal haters to fetch this release I detest paypal with the intensity of a thousand blazing flame throwers. God, I wish that allegedly great invention would simply vanish from the face of this earth! Back on topic: respect for the release, can't wait for that album to hit the shelves :posford: Liquid Flow ought to put Zagreb on the map- and big time too!!!

Needless to emphasize, I never heard (of) it...

Respect! Now that is one hell of a great track!

So, sad, especially when IMHO Ofer Dikovsky is (or was) the most talented producer ever to have emerged out of Israel. Not necessarily objectively the best, but most definitely my favorite. Indoor, Pigs In Space and Tandu are three amazing projects he was involved in, and his track "Out There" is one of my all time favorites. It's arguable whether his early albums are classics, but I found all of his old school material to be top drawer stuff! The application of those sharp and metallic sounds to his furious, energetic and stomping tracks was blowing pretty much all the other israeli competition out of the frame. Unfortuantely, even prior to peeking into this thread I was getting disappointed with his more recent production, which was deteriorating from album to album...

It's not a simple deal. Whoever gave you that idea must have never went past the kindergarten level. Man, don't take me wrong, but judging from what you wrote, I take you hooked up with the dudes from I.M. last night, and that must have been when they told you that they dislike the music they are producing now. In fact, it is a well known fact that artists produce music they are not feeling, right? You actually spoke to them and they told you how they are doing music nowadays exclusively for the money? It's not about abandoning the fans, or whatever idea you exposed here, it is merely a fact of moving away from a genre getting as tired as Oprah Winfrey's talk shows... It's about willing to change directions and/or experimenting with new sounds and ideas. Whether YOU want to follow or not, that is up to you. See, but that does not mean they abandoned you, it's viceversa, as they are still here producing music, while you are the one turning your back on them. Do not be confused. The mere fact that Infected Mushroom are today not producing music you initially fell in love with does not, and will not ever imply that their modern output automatically suck. You lost interest in them, and that is something you are 100% intitled to, but keep in mind that whoever is behind the I.M. project has all the right to completely and permanently lose interest in this scene. Prove me wrong... I also reckon you are well acquainted with the members of this project since you seem to be more familiar with their priority list than your own to do list off those yellow post-it sheets

Some three hour Derrick May live recording from one of his XY timeless sessions @ The Metro It's going through the roof.

While I thoroughly enjoyed reading which acts are considered heroes in certain users eyes, a thread about "The Masters" without making a single reference to the motor city is a thread I can only walk out of with a huge *YAWN!* expression on my face... All the acts named are more or less great, but my heart, ears and soul are elsewhere. Well, on the other hand, I guess psynews isn't really the spot to be for Detroit whores, now ain't it?

As a kid I use to like and listen to certain radio shos which played house, techno or trance DJ mixes. I use to tape them on cassettes and then listen to them whenever I had the time to. But, just as Basilisk said "I haven't had anything to do with any form of radio for a very long time".

Isn't that a nu-metal track by Korn? If so, I don't think it has samples
