Every now and then something comes along that changes the game.

 

Before the toilet, you had to crap in a hole in the ground. Saw a program on Current TV about the toilet crisis in India and they don't even bother with the hole. They just sh*t on the ground and walk away.

 

I know, must be like a f*cking minefield over there.

 

With the invention of air travel we can now visit any part of the globe. If you're tired of the hassle of flushing and wiping you can go to India and sh*t on the ground. Also if you wanted lots of people dead it used to be such a hassle to have to kill them by hand. Now with aircraft you get more bang for your buck and a window seat.

 

Ever see old pics of people huddled around the radio? What the f*ck was that about? Like I want to sit next to Grandma Rose and her...ahem, flatulence issue.

 

Isn't there a volume knob on that thing? Just turn it up why do I gotta sit next to Grandma? it's like a machine gun over here!

 

The internet of course has transformed communication and information gathering not to mention delivering porn on demand. Now gratification is instant with the click of a mouse. Little longer if you're using the keyboard.

 

What the f*ck, you again? She told me she was 13...I MEAN 18!!! Yeah, 18.

 

 

Really Jim Bakker, I'm supposed to buy that she's your f*cking secretary?

 

With cell phones nowadays it's just a computer in your hand that can turn the lights on in your home, take a photo of you in drag, or you can send a sexy image to the wrong person with the touch of a button. Oops, sorry reverend! That pic of my junk was meant for Jessica. See ya in church next Sunday! Jessica's gonna be there right? Right? Did you tell her I called?

 

 

But those are the obvious ones. I'm talking about change for the people!

 

 

Thanks to Viagra 85 year old men can impregnate women 1/3 of their age without embarrassment Yessir, opened the door to a whole world of f*cked up relationships and pedophilia. Thank you drug companies! We used to be able to ship grandpa off to a substandard nursing home, but now I have to worry if he's mackin on my niece.

 

Whew, we really need to read the fine print on Obamacare.

 

 

They patented a device that is installed under the hood of your car that can tell you (with a high reliability factor) whether what you just plowed into was a person. A person. Thank God this came to market because who's got time to look through the CLEAR windshield. Newsflash Matlock, if you're mowing people down like it's Grand Theft Auto get off the f*cking sidewalk.

 

"Gotta get to the pharmacy...only one blue pill left!"

 

 

The Snuggie wow, a blanket with sleeves. Where the hell was Da Vinci on that one? you know they have a model available for the family dog? Are you f*cking kidding me? That's what the fur is for. If you're dumb enough to get one for your pet, how is it possible you haven't walked into oncoming traffic? Don't worry they have an app for that.

 

 

 

One of my faves was a patent was awarded to a guy that came up with the idea of a dog toy that could me made of wood or wood composites. A f*cking stick, the guy got a patent for a stick. Hear that? That's the sound of every tree on the planet lawyering up for the inevitable copyright infringement suit.

 

 

Obviously one cannot equate these revolutionary inventions with sweaty I don't need a shower are you gonna finish that burrito why get a job hippie music. But in times when psytrance has gotten a little stale I give you Midiskibis. Sami Pekkarinen is from Finland home of reindeer, good Vodka, and some crazy ass music.

 

 

Pistol Star- What sounds like a bunch of noise quickly develops into a Front 242 techno stomper. But with loads of psychedelia and none of that annoying scream vocal. Metallic sounds morph and twist as eerie melodies prance playfully above the solid bass line. There is a lot going on here and it changes frequently so pay attention. Driving beat with monster thump and thick twisted synth runs. Super beginning.

 

Nightly Passages- This has a night time feel with warped and wailing pads as a chunky bass line grumbles. Did I take 3 or 4 tabs? Ooh, this is the good part hold up, love the way those synths dance. Did you see those birds or am I having a vision? Another track that constantly evolves with new sounds and directions. The leads sound dirty and wet, and when is that a bad thing? I don't care what you're talking about. It's a good churner with an ominous vibe that remains interesting all the way through.

 

Searching For Pnakotic Manuscripts- I file this in the what the f*ck department. I mean, how are you supposed to describe the first two minutes of this track? Filtered analog synths hobble along in a Charlie Chaplin gait. Holy sh*t did I just write that? What the hell am I on about? Top hats and tails until it descends into some type of 90's techno breakbeat funk explosion with howling winds. Odd little melodies peer out from their place of safety and on the surface sounds like it's all over the place. Dig deeper my friends, as it will involve you. It surrounds you with bass sounds and wraparound leads. Thick and heavy but brilliant. Again it has a lot going on and gets better on repeated listens.

 

Metsa Suojelee Sua- I know a little Finnish...Moi, mita jatka? I think that means Hi, how are you? but for all I know it could mean can I lick your balls. My friend from Finland had a sick sense of humor. Those Fins, they're pretty crazy. A bubbling lead flows rapidly over some slow attack sweeps creating a dark ambient beginning. For the first time I'm at a loss for words. This thing is all over the place, sounds seem to be placed randomly, synths wobble...what the hell is going on here?

 

Haruspex- Controlled entropy. That's a good way to put it. Out of this disorder rises a rumbling bass line that is strangely groovy. Dark with razor sharp synths steep in layers but a hopeful melody attempts to surface. Alien skitterings frequent this track and there is a certain forest feel to it. I found myself listening to this numerous times in a row because there was no way I could take it all in with one listen.

 

Miasma- With a space like ambient beginning a huge bass drop sets things in motion. Industrial percussion and echoing effects make this a spooky something something. Ever see Blade Runner? It would work there. Chock full of layers high and low it saunters at a sinister pace. Near the end it picks up a snare and now it has attitude as synths get chopped up. Reminds me of some old NIN stuff.

 

Slow Mutants- Ooh, this undulates with power. The creature is waking type stuff. Oh snap he broke out his soul train side. I've always said we need more cowbell in psytrance! Deep, deep bass and sweeps just keep coming at you in waves. He does great work creating an eerie vibe with the pads and twinkling chimes. So many good effects, I just love this track.

 

 

So firm...so fully packed. Look at that suave motherf*cker. This ain't your grandma's 4/4 psytrance. There are so many layers in this release that it begs further study. Psychedelic to it's core it combines techno and trance with lush atmospheres. It's highly original and was a joy to discover. I usually stay away from anything labelled with Suomi as I find it quite crazy, but this is something you should hear. This guy may very well be an alien and good or bad...he has just made contact.
