Christmas Presents

Recommended Posts

My brother has recently discovered music & he's listening to a lot of different dance styles, mainly techno & trance, a bit of downbeat.

I was thinking of getting him some albums for christmas. He's not a psy freak but he's always appreciated it whenever I've played it for him (the crazier stuff)

What albums do you think I should get for him?

I was thinking of Artifakt - Artifakts II & one more but I don't know which one.

Very nice choices mr. devil sir. Especially Jikkenteki - The Long Walk Home, this is fast becoming one of my all time favourites!

 

The Koxbox/GBU set could be good but I don't think he would like Ultimae. Maybe a bit to subtle for my Bro.

Did someone say my name? :P

 

About PAR-2 releases. We have a new comp coming up in the next month or two called "Mainspring Motion", the rough details of which are mentioned in my sig. We are currently waiting on the art and mastering. I've given up on promising exact dates though as things always change so fast. This time around we have a "time" theme and are focusing on bringing together good tracks from all different eras and subgenres of psy-trance.

 

Outside of that, as Abasio mentioned, I'm working on a new album which is nearly finished. This time it's just a one disc more trance related affair. I love making downtempo stuff, but this time around I wanted to focus on trance as a study of incorporating all the stuff I learned while making the downtempo disc of the Long Walk into the trance side of things. Also this album is being made in the memory of Symphonics (ex. Phi) who died right as I was finishing Long Walk. I didn't have enough space to get a proper tribute on that album so its the focus of this. Symphonics was very much a trance-head production wise, so focusing on the trance side of things just seemed fitting this time around.

 

We also have an album from Zekazy in the works. It was planned for this winter, but Zekazy takes his time writing and is constantly throwing out tracks for new ones so currently its on a "it will be released when it's ready" scheduling plan. We'll also have another comp next year I think, but that will be towards the end of the end and the concept hasn't come together yet for that yet.

 

 

As for the cheap prices... that's easy, no one buys our cds.. :P In addition to that, the price thing has always been a sticking point for us since we started PAR-2 as we always thought CDs were too expensive. Hence our single disc release will always be $10 US including shipping anywhere in the world straight from us policy. We don't have much control over what other places charge for our cds however and particularly in Japan we have had problems with the shops refusing to sell the CDs at the prices we want them to be sold at ("too cheap, people with think there is something wrong with the CD" is the excuse we always get), but we try to keep the prices as realistic as we can afford for the customer. It hits us pretty hard at times money-wise, but we aren't a "for profit" label exactly anyways so... (shrugs). How's that for more info than you wanted about PAR-2? :P

Don't buy him anything. I usually just punch my brother as hard as I can in the face for Christmas. It's quite satisfying.
