Decided to see what the gif from my signature actually was (amazing modern internet tools ay?) Some random J-pop artist 😂 2:48 and You've got my sig

While these were good earphones and sounded great, I haven't used them in years. My current endgame are the Final Audio A6000s, not only do they sound amazing but they are so light that I can wear them all day. Currently on a 6 hour listening session as I left work early and worked from a coffee shop so I could not interact with people, and I have zero fatigue wearing these. They sound as good or better than IEMs that cost 2 or 3 times as much. I highly recommend.

How. No one has bought anything today in.... 9 years 😳 🤯 Not today, but one week ago I got this Redmi Pad Pro 6 - a nice midrange table with a keyboard case. I prefer this to a lot of the 2 in 1 designs as the keyboard case sits on your lap properly. It's big enough to make watching movies on it good, and the keyboard is spacious enough to actually type on. Yay! 🙌

Scorb - Scorb I'm on a nostalgia binge 😆

Oh yeah. Gotta love me some Prana. I used to subscribe to Matsuri records on Bandcamp and 80% of their stuff was Prana. I didn't complain (until they went months and months without releasing anything on a monthly subscription: not cool) Nice choice!

Not a lot of love for this stellar compilation. A really good snapshot of Flying Rhino's style at the time. Smooth, dark but light, trippy Goa I have a folder just for Flying Rhino records and I bought everything they released and they still get played in heavy rotation. This, the first Singularity, First, THird, Fourth and Fifth Flight, Black and White Rhino, the Re:evolutions are all highlights. Wish they had a rebirth like some of the other older labels.

Man, people hated this when it first came out. It was just so minimal and the melody only people wouldn't stand it. I like a good melody, and this is not providing that, but I also like rhythm, and I adore psychedelic details peaking out of every nook and cranny, and that's what this album provides. Really really good, if you can stomach minimal. The only thing I won't like is the really loud sample right at the end. Sometimes I will doze to this album and that ending is like a big old slap to the face.

There are 3 singularity compilations This one is the most old school 2:001 was more like Flying Rhino's smoother, evolved style (Post re:evolution) and third one felt a bit poppier but has grown on me over the years. Still love this one the best though 💕

There are many tracks at the link, you can listen to the first three or four. Nello has a recognizable style and I can distinguish it from other goa trance artists. And I will back up a little and admit that Miranda remixed / reworked his original track to fit her sound. And that's okay. On an album, everything should sound more or less in the same style.

Absolutely no love for this album? I may not listen to it as much as I used to, but that's only because Gus Till has so much else to listen to and I am lying, I still listen to this quite a lot, but then I listen to music a lot, not all day every day, but close to it as I travel a lot and skyve off work too much.

Or support him directly on Bandcamp

Almost no love on this forum for Scorb? You can get it cheap on Discogs Still an amazing release 20 years later

Loving this album. I never really gave it much love when it was first released, but I have always kept it on my player but not chosen it in ages. It randomly came on today after finishing another album and I instantly thought "Why have I not been listening to this every day?" Very psychedelic, tonnes of acid synths, everything I like in my psy

Just finished this interview, so I had to hear some Prana.

Definitely a maybe. I am trying to steer away from my cell phone. Over the years, smartphones have become the jack of all trades, but as the saying goes, a master of none. When I listened to music on my phone, I streamed low quality garbage, so I got a stand alone player and listen to my collection again. When I played games on my phone, I played crappy cell phone games, so I got a retro handheld and now play Mario, Sonic, Mortal Kombat, Rainbow Islands and all other 8 bit & 16 bit games from my youth. When I read on my phone I read like a book every six months, so I got an e-reader and now read 20+ books a year. I clung on to my phone for longer for internet browsing but recently got a bigger tablet with a keyboard (don't really need a laptop for the light usage I have) and it has transformed how I use the internet. Much less doomscrolling and much more engagement, I even email my parents more often How long will this renaissance last? Not sure, this forum is still pretty dead 💀 Hopefully we can get some decent chat going, yeah? In the meantime, I'll look through the old reviews for inspiration of what to listen to for the first time in years 😁

Lol, yeah... Hopefully it won't be to hot during the days so I can sleep some extra hours then. Thursday and Friday morning is massive, I will try to do K9@4 and all the way to Aavepyörä.

I love that you resurrected a 20 year old thread to make your first one line comment I actually enjoy all of Posford's projects. Some of his later Shpongle stuff does verge on being too cheesy, but Are You Shpongled? Makes up for any later over cheese. I would imagine that many people would now say his project under his own name is the weakest, but I still really like it. Just needs a bit more time and attention to enjoy than his more maximal offerings.

That track does seem different in style to other Miranda tracks I have heard, much less psy and much more regular trance, so I could see how it is by someone else.

Logic Bomb - Unlimited NP Future Uncertain This is another one of those long forgotten albums I have decided to give another chance to all these years later and am left wondering "why did I not listen to this more often?" Stunning, sharp, acidic, psychedelic!

Compare Miranda's style with Nello's. Nothing in common. This track is as close as possible to Nello's work. And as for what the musicians write on the cover... I wouldn't believe it completely. On Miranda's first album, it is not indicated anywhere that Dan Larsson from Electronic Dreamplanet is a co-author. It is written that he is just an engineer. He did not take part in the recording of the second album and the sound and melodies changed dramatically. But Lazar Pejnowich took part there. And he is the author (one of them, let's not belittle Miranda). So Miranda is a brand, not a solo project. And here is a direct link to the album, where the track Mars Need Women has only one author listed - Nello. https://www.discogs.com/release/28010-Miranda-Northern-Lights

What are the chances of getting a full Laughing Skull album? He has so much unreleased old awesome material. It's a shame that even goa trance fans barely know him.

I will give it a listen. I adore Flying Rhino: First Flight and used to listen to it regularly so I am sure I will like this too, though I have heard at least a few if not most of those tracks before. Ancient Lands is one of my top tracks. Retrodelica was their other compilation that I liked.

I would say so. I only joined 3 years ago but I was lurking here for years before. You are doing an awesome job of writing a lot of new posts. Every post helps bring this place back to life. The more we keep it up the more others will join in. Maybe.

My today psy test #1 release. listen.
