seraph

Hey, zErafh is quite good, much better than sereph. Argh !

saitoneZ, it is serAph.

I agree about every aspect you said, except for being rigid about drugs and seeing all drug heads the same. Not everyone that takes drugs are deranged, demented freaks nor everyone that gets them are enlightened. People use various substances for various occasions and if one needs it for better perception of music, I don't mind that. How do you think most of goa/psy producers found inspiration and even psychedelic musicians in the past ? First there was an acid blast in the 60's. Loads of producers were stuffing themselves of acid, finding lots of inspiration to make psychedelic music. Later came MDMA in 80's and whole euphorical 'rave' subgenre appeared, mostly influenced by that drug. Then the acid comeback happend in 90's and lots of artists produced highly psychedelic stuff. Nowadays, I call it an amph and cocaine induced insipiration where most of the releases sound like 'white powder marching music'. You shouldn't diss something you've never tried and pretend it is not there. There were many of the artists that never took drugs, and found inspiration elsewhere, not everything is about drugs as it appears to you with other people. It is all about perception of music and drugs. I have quitted excessive drug usage and nowadays go str8 to parties, only smoking spliffs. There is no difference between str8 and drugged state, perceiving music, you are just more able to handle hours and hours of dancing when on drugs. Nothing more. But to be honest, I was listening to psy/goa trance for 2 years at first before I've tried my first acid in 1997 after which I've experienced completely new form of sounds, your perception changes, becomes crystal clear, you hear the sounds and fxs that were in the distance like the main melody or bass and you are literally 'projected' inside the music, whereas when str8 you only feel it through your body, mildly penetrating your mind. There is huge difference in perception, but as I said, it really doesn't matter how one perceive music as long as he feels it, dance to it and feel content.

MIDI MILIZ - SUPERSYMMETRY

I like progressive trance, didn't say anything bad about it, just they lack new ideas even in that genre these years. Full on, on the other hand DOES sound all the same, sorry Tats, I forgot to put IMO.

Ummmm, rather de-evolution, considering the number of quality releases. And where is evolving ? Copy/paste of the same sounds is evolution to you ? I believe it evolved until 2005. Now is all the same, dark psy, full on, progressive, all sounds the same as when it was made few years ago. Lame evolution.

OLIVER LIEB - DIMENSION X

They are both registered here, but I guess Anoebis will give you the answer before they do since they appear very rarely around here.

JAVA - COSMIC CHILL

:wank: I am not surprised actually, but those guys don't realise that they are not making such 'alive' music anymore and their 'dead' input from before is much more long lasting than any of their new stuff.

Trust In Trance IS their first album. You are wrong there, first came out Trust In Trance, and later of the same year Astral Files, so they are practically released the same year...

What is wrong with this cover ? I think it perfectly describes the name of the group, even though I've never heard about them.
