OK, we have those full review boards but let's face it: nowadays only 1% or something of all new psy-related releases get their own topics there. Many of us can't be arsed to go through the whole process of cover pics, track listing, detailed commentary and whatnot. Consequently, plenty of releases go entirely under the radar. You can wish for more full reviews or a pony but that probably won't make it happen. So, let's try something different. Post here brief commentary on any release that deserves a mention. It can be a new one, an old one, a gem, a disappointment or even a non-psy release if you think people here might appreciate it. Albums, singles, free downloads etc. are all fine. If it's a music release, you can review it here. The rules: Keep it informative and readable. Keep it text only. No YouTube blobs. No cover art. No full track listing. Those can be found elsewhere. No links to external reviews. No other pics either (including but not limited to "funny" response pics). Maximise your own output. 1-3 paragraphs should be enough. "Rocks" or "sucks" is too little. Ten paragraphs probably justifies a full review topic instead. It's fine to post first impressions based on samples. We're trying to give quick glances to interesting stuff here so you don't have to own it. However, if it's only announced without any audio samples, it's too early to review it (even under this broad interpretation). Absolutely no advertisement or spam. Do not "review" your own or affiliated stuff. Yes, of course it's the most OMGest dancefloor mega hot guaranteed to blah blah whatever. Does anyone even read that drivel any more? We have at least two boards for that already so don't bring it in here. In this topic we want real finds and honest opinions. Apart from reviews, preferably post only comments which add something helpful (such as your own short opinion). Longer discussions and dick fencing should be taken elsewhere. What you could/should include:Artist, title, label, year. A single line in bold should be clear enough in a thread like this. No need to make it huge or looking like a christmas tree. What is it? Goa, house, bog trance, glitchcore, death disco, speedambient? Album, compilation, single, loose track? Real, virtual? Is it any good? A few notable and/or informative aspects of it. Who should check it out and who shouldn't? A link or two to useful sites, probably Discogs or label site first, others if necessary. So, it might look something like this: Got it? Let's see if this works.
