psytones Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I'll be dressed as Link in Zelda maybe something else at the after party .. I've seen Biosphere once and its special, though you have to remmeber not to talk and make too much noise, because then Geir will become angry and leave the stage. Happy for you Trunk, the AA is porp going to become insanly spectacular, hope Shpongle will become just as or more wow though .. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psytones Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Awesome is the word (oohh the stars man, the stars where oohh) Also the after after party with Flying Rhino seemed to become a good one as they warmed up and dressed the roof with deco - To bad all of my energy was gone and sosializing/talking with people was beyond reach, so I decided to leave before it actuallykicked off. Guess the people still high on energy had a blast though Hey trunksan, I pointed and talked to a couple of Darth Vaders, non seemed to be you though .. ? How many of you guys where there? I was surprised and happy that I didnt see any other people dressed as Link ^^ The day after I realized I had been standing beside Martin Freeland and exchange a couple of generic words .. heh ZzzZzzz.. *smoke* Been up since yesterday, need to sleep but think I'll føkk up my whole day rythm if I sleep now, but cant hold my eyes open anymore. Ryanair is cheap but sucks. On the flight home this morning a lady had a eplepsi attack so the plane had to turn back and land. Hevaluff, sorry our paths didnt meet, I was really looking forward of seing and hugging you Mattman, good guy!! Hoping to drink a lager with you on the pubbo Listening to the Shpongle CD now, its very beautiful and in the ame spirit as their previous two releases sleep Oh one more thing. The Juno Reactor DJ old-skool set was something like WOOOOOWOWOWOWOOOOOOOOOOOOWW!!!!!! Your gonna have a wonderful trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattMan Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 What a weekend. The show was off the hook, met a lot of spaced out londoners with some psychedelics they were happy to share. The vibe.. People were hugging. blowing soap bubbles.. I met inexpressible and Infra 303 from discogs, and psytones! My phone died the morning I had to leave, but I'm sure we'll meet for a beer in Oslo sometime, great meeting up! And the CD - well. I'm amazed.

Snapinho Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Nice to hear such positive reports. I know I had a blast when I went to Twisted's anniversary show, two (?) years ago. Flying Rhino did a party after the afterparty? Cool! Actually, the afterparty looked even more promising than the Shpongle gig, if you'd asked me... Excelente.

Trunksan Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 Hi guys!! I'm also back from London. The Shpongle event was truely great, they played 3-4 new tracks (haven't heard the cd yet) along with their older hits. One with vocals was crap, the other was kinda Dark and was great. Michele Adamson was on most of the vocals. The light show,the sound, the stage performances were all great/ 2.5 hours of great music and show. The after party I didn't realy enjoy. I was very tired from shopping with my GF all day and then her menstrual tantrums. My complains with the afterparty have a lot to do with the location and the setup of the stages...... 1) I felt that for such a massice event one could have found a better location, not under the rail tracks inside a parking lot with a lot of mud. 2) The chill out stage was exposed to the weather on one side so it go really cold after some time and the Prog/techno stage was also connected with it so the music was being covered all the time. I spent almost all my time at the Chill out. First Chicago played a nice and groovy set with a lot of twisted's tracks (Shpongle, younger brother and OTT) since Simon Posford and Benji Vaughn were by his side, both escorted by 2 VERY lovely girls (especialy simon), then as I was walking between the stages I heard "Love baby Cheesy" of course it was BANCO DE GAIA, he played some awesome music but it WAS CONSTANTLY BEING OVERCOVERED by the much louder techno stage and as time went on the place got cold and people were leaving (obviously). When Banco de Gaia ended it was 5:00 so I headed to the trance stage for Juno Reactor..... and fuck..... all night the stage was banging loud but then it was very low, I went close to the stage to hear better because at the back you couldn't hear a thing I think a lot has to do with the fact that these were old tracks (i.e magnetic, feel the universe, Nitrogen) so it was difficult to hear all the details. I believe the crowd wasn't really appreciative of the music being played since very few people stayed till the end, although it was much better than was Tristan and whoever was after him played, but I like I said it could be because the sound wasn't good and loud.... And I don't think it was Ben watkins playing.... who was it? I spoke with Psytones at the roundhouse and the afterparty and he was definetly having a great time..............MATE I WAS THE ONE THAT HAD THE HELMET WITHOUT THE MASK...................... in fact a lot of people found it wierd that I wore the helmet without a mask (since I coulnd't see a thing wearing it and it is a proper replica so it's quite heavy) and a few came round saying "We are happy that we can finaly see your face" or " You look so much cuter now Vader". That's it!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psytones Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 ah that was U huuuu--.....How many Vaders are there here? Three I think..... I agree on your complaints because before I was leaded by some Omananadas to the Juno stage I wasn't so happy with the sound quality around (music everywhere overlapped/bled into other rooms and lacked identity at times(?)). The Juno set/stage was total awesomeness though!! I loved your Vader costume, man. It was one of the phattest I've seen, very authentc indeed. My sister drunk as much alchohol as I did which wasnt so wise of her, as soon as she got a trong joint in her hand she crashed and decided to leave, so it was a shame we didnt find the chill stagem which would have saved her night. piis & løv from Norwege Ps. I asked if you by the wardrobe at Shpongle (a dood in Vader costume) was the guy from psynews whilepointing a finger at your face, you said No!! Why, where you emberessed to admit our geeky connection ? Ps. sorry for the finger, but dont look at the finger or you'll miss the heavently glory hrhr .. hr nice to seeyouir face at the last dance there psagain, how was the AA meeting?

draeke Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 hello everyone i had a blasting time at shpongle and at the after party! shpongle was simple divine and well, to me all the vocals were freaking perfects, but hey i can understand someone won't digest them. I am not sure the blond girl singing was michelle adamson but i bet she could have been, and she was really doing it nicely (except the few times her mic wasn't properly working) About the after party i met robin triskele (yay after 10 years of online chatting!!); infra303, ooze and senobyte from discogs & i thought i met mattman too but i might be wrong since he never mentioned to have met me .. so i met maybe someone else that had a similar sounding nickname. if i knew there were some others of psynews i would have tried to meet as well.. but anyhow.. The gorgeous girl around with Simon at the after party is his girlfriend (and on the album u can read he writes quite about her) and the entire cd shines with the love he has for her if you ask me, is really deep and emotional and you can feel it in every track (also as u read the comments on the booklet he explains she had a role in many of the tracks). Some words about the after party: I went the 31 but seems like the line up was more or less the same both days except on 31st there was Max Lanfranconti that delivered an awesome set, full of energy, perfectly beatmatched and with a lot of melodic tracks, yay! i really did enjoy it.. and plus it had a nice old school vibes as he played some remix of vimana and some pleiadians track too! really enjoyable. Another great dj set was courtesy of Tristan, he rocked the place and really playes some tripping tunes.. then the same happened when richard trevor played and mike maguire of juno couldn't disappoint with his pure oldschool dj set. I also took some time off the banging room to hear some lovely progressive trance played by james monro first and george barker then.. basically every room was filled of glorious names of the oldschool scene, it was awesome, i never seen so many famous goa artists all together. The great part is that i could chat with some of these monster names and if all goes right, DAT Rec will feature some unexpected old sceners .. (finger triple crossed mates.. if it happens u won't believe it). The only artist i didn't see or chatted with was martin freeland but a guy i know did and apparently he has a full album in the make.. let's hope its soon as he never failed to deliver classic tracks. Well that's about all for me, hope u all had the same awesome experience. PS: about the location: if they managed to close the parts where the fresh air was coming it would have been perfect but the again the feeling was SO underground like a proper oldschool party Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, at the wardrobe I didn't deny I was from Psynews, in fact I called you by your nick Psytones and then we introduced. Anyway, who cares!!! And thank you for the compliments about the costume, I really like your ears too, I was playing with them at the Juno set because they looked very real. To Draeke - I think at some point we were sitting next to each other at the Chill out room, were you wearing a purple t-shirt that had "Symbiosis" at the back? I thought I recognised you from a photo we had taken together along with Fabien (Mars) at the Twisted birthday party, atlhough you look like you put a bit of weight (in fact I've put much more since 3 years ago), sorry for not speaking to you, it must have been you since I didn't know you were coming. Simon mentioned Michele Adamson when he introduced the band. oooh AA was cancelled, they anounced it on Friday so I'm glad I hadn't bought any tickets because it would have been difficult to get a refund with me being abroad!!! Back to work now --- asdfasdjkhgw4i5y7sdfgiusdfghi fucking hate working here, I'll soon be out of this fucken Bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draeke Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 yeah trunksan that was me with the symbiosis shirt u should have told me you tought i was, i was really tired and relaxing a bit in the chill room. anyway the atmosphere was great despite the feel of cold that was present on the couches ehe.. also i think it was not the best idea to have 2 soundstages in the same room.. and yes i did put some weight up (luckily as i've always been underweight! now i'm normal well built), well anyway i seen a lot of nice people at the party, how different is from a party in italy, i had forgotten in uk the people are cool at parties.. and that there are a lot of girls too!

psyhoe Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 the topic about the new album is locked so i will just ask in here. does anyone know if there maybe is some hidden content on the new Shpongle album? like some data that can only be viewd on a computer or some hidden intro like on Ott - Blumenkraft where you have to rewind the beginning of the first track. on any of my cd player i cant rewind even the Ott intro so cants check for myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psytones Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Ott - Blumenkraft where you have to rewind the beginning of the first track. There is prop a lot of hidden goodies in this album in varies stages. ? About the Ott Intro, I have yet to this date successfully listened to this secret shit .. Im starting to think people are pulling our legs anbd that the secret intro is a bluff.. Btw. Mattman showed me something utterly genious. He played the Mystery of the Yeti 2 together with the actual speaker video thats been posted somewhere on this forum .. It was a huge WoW§!!1 good weekend all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyhoe Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Im starting to think people are pulling our legs anbd that the secret intro is a bluff.. nope its not a bluff, ive heard it myself. it's just that a lot of cd players cant rewind the tracks into 'negative' times.

Dolmot Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Interestingly, I changed to a new CD ripping software and it included that intro to the first track automatically. Now it's in my flac copy and I'll hear it every time unless I specifically skip it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
