Guest necro Posted February 4, 2003 Posted February 4, 2003 i saw Astral prjection live in london last weekend. it was a disaster i tell you. did any one else see that..what were they thinkin. i mean it was nice to hear some of their old skool trax and all ..but the last 40 miniutes of the set was like that cheesy shit you hear (u know...energy 103 out now ..all the greatest summer hits form ibiza..) no kiddin, those guys are over.

Guest Mike D Posted February 4, 2003 Posted February 4, 2003 I saw them out here, they only did a dj set, and are coming backlive, but it was awesome. They played for ages and they played the set starting from the first releases up to the latest releases, nothing else but the history of Astral dj'd by Astral, I never danced so hard, they may not be the best dj's on earth, but the vibe was wicked and so was the music. I think Asral will always be special to a lot of true goa fans no matter how commercial they go, and get over the whole commercial thing, one day you'll realise all music is great, even the stuff that doesn't do it for you, somebody did put a big effort in t make that song :-) Quote
Hels Posted February 4, 2003 Posted February 4, 2003 I saw them live about half a year ago and I like it very much. Good vibey "goa" music, even if it is cheesy. Quote
Guest Hallucinogenious Posted February 4, 2003 Posted February 4, 2003 for one more time .... Astral Projection = Pure Goa put it inside your head. its not that minimal,progressive,techno shit we have nowadays ... Quote
Guest underslunky Posted February 4, 2003 Posted February 4, 2003 I saw them in London too. I thought they were quite good - nice melodies and as Hallucinogenious says "pure goa". Can't argue with that IMO. The only tune I didn't like in their set was the last one; the rest was wicked. Quote
Guest joe Posted February 4, 2003 Posted February 4, 2003 ive seen ap live a few times a couple years ago and they played great. Theyre playing again nearby in 2 weeks but i have no interest in seeing Amen played live.. (weak) Quote
Guest lol Posted February 5, 2003 Posted February 5, 2003 necro's post = disaster man try to keep your childish thoughts for yourself. my best party was with AP and the very very first touch to this music again - AP, so if thet are over - the whole thing is over.Just try to understand that these guys created the foundations of this which you call psytrance.Have you ever imagined how many ppl are into this music because of AP?Do you know how many artists have been inspired by AP? Astral Projection will forever remain the kings of Goa trance. PLUR Quote
Guest necro Posted February 5, 2003 Posted February 5, 2003 hey lol, i'm not arguing that astral are worthless...i first got into psytrance because of them also. all i'm saying is that there live act last weekend in london was for a large part not psy-trance but cheesy club-trance.... might as well have gone to see paul okenfold. that AP are classic they are classic. i agree with that. peace-necro Quote
Guest Tetsuo Posted February 5, 2003 Posted February 5, 2003 yeah i was there but i dont think i really heard the last 40 mins so i can say... it started out pretty damn good though... Quote
Guest joe Posted February 5, 2003 Posted February 5, 2003 Yea ive seen some great AP sets but there have been AP sets that were so crappy they might as well have plugged the speakers into audio-out on an atari. Guess thats what happens when you play live 1093029833 times a year. Quote
Guest smd Posted February 6, 2003 Posted February 6, 2003 necro i'm with you. i went to see them with great expectations, but was quite dissapointed. good party otherwise. ltr Quote
ouroboros Posted February 6, 2003 Posted February 6, 2003 ive seen ap a few of times.... they sucked every time i saw them. although no where near as bad as infected. holy crap i cant stand ap. never liked 'em never will. but i.m. is worse. Hallucinogenious : what the hell is "pure goa" ? for one more time..... astral projection = synths farting out bland arps and simplistic unchanging percussion. Quote
