And people wonder why this forum going downhill, this is a review thread, keep it that way

yes youre absolutely right, mods feel free to clean the thread ofc.

It's OK to be sensitive. Lots of us are sensitive. I don't know about anyone else but I don't want you to leave the forum. I just feel like it's better to tone down the totally intense way you write your criticisms, if you can. For example you're not wrong that it's helpful for a review to include a link to the music. But if you say it the way you did full of intense insulting superlatives like "nothing I hate more", and calling him things like "lazy" and "ignorant" which are usually hurtful to someone, if you say it like that then you will get these kind of reactions. I'm puzzled that it needs spelling out but you contribute a lot to this site, so I just want to figure things out. I mean, are you going for a jokey style with those kind of comments? It doesn't work. Any further discussion should move to a different thread IMHO.

Please do, nothing we need more over here than more reviews and content! Yeah bandcamp is a great way to both let the reader quickly check out the music as well as promoting the artist. Just don't be lazy and ignorant like the doktor (and then be crazy enough to redirect it back to me as if I'm the problem and not him for not posting a single fkn link) and you'll be more than fine 😊

And id really appreciate if you, in the future, could post a listenable link to the album you're reviewing, thanks What's with the quoting? We all can read what I wrote but thanks for really driving my point home! 😚 And I'm gonna comment even more on your threads now. 😃 (and I just have to mention the "reactions". Haha. It's kind of hilarious. So basically you want reviews with 0 links to the album in question. And hate if someone calls that out. Gotcha and holy shit people here seem to have their little pink panties in a twist these days. Jesus christ, grow up)

Really nice review... ....And a little bit of drama added to keep things interested. You can buy the release here: https://digitalreprints.bandcamp.com/album/human-odyssey And in the meantime check the new 2xCD Elysium's release as well :) https://digitalreprints.bandcamp.com/album/a-journey-through-time-space

"Nothing I hate more", "it's just lazy", "ignorant", "disrespectful", "God I hate that so much", "disrespectful", "damn", "frigging"... I would really prefer it if you no longer commented on any of my threads please. Thanks, I would really appreciate that.

Moon Tripper - Hypnotic Frequencies Altar Records - ARCDA130 I hadn't heard of Moon Tripper before, the Dubai-based artist Brad Ashtar. I came across this album because I enjoy psychill and want to start posting reviews of new music here so I was looking over Altar Records' recent catalog. 1. Moon Tripper – Inside Your Head 13:03 2. Astral Waves – Black Panther Medicine (Moon Tripper Remix) 10:15 3. Moon Tripper – Mystical Realm 6:57 4. Moon Tripper – Transcendental 7:15 5. Moon Tripper – Arise 6:00 6. Moon Tripper – Hypnotic Frequencies 6:59 7. Moon Tripper – Dopamine 7:55 8. Moon Tripper – Spiritual Smiles 8:53 9. Moon Tripper – Elevated State 8:00 10. Moon Tripper – Earth's Consciousness 6:46 1. Inside Your Head: This has a lovely long build up with mysterious pads, slow flute, growly synth sounds, what I think is a sitar sound, tribal drums and later a nice kick and bass come in. A little reminiscent of Elysium to me but with the psy turned down and ambience cranked up I suppose. 6/10 2. Black Panther Medicine (Moon Tripper Remix): We start with some tribal voices and cool drippy sounds. The kick and bass makes it sound a little bit dark and we have some nice somewhat tribal percussion coming in then some really trippy melodic synths. Nice. 9/10 3. Mystical Realm: This track is harder and a lot more psychedelic than the earlier ones but still has a lot of ambience. A nice, slightly more irregular beat. 7/10 4. Transcendental: We continue the harder psychedelic theme with this one which is really nice with layers of squelchy synths and still little bits of ambience sprinkled in here and there. 8/10 5. Arise: A mystical sparkley opening with a female voice and some flutey ambiences. Then the driving kick and bass come in quite near the start and groovy synth stabs. It feels more ambient than the previous track whilst maintaining the pace and energy. 7/10 6. Hypnotic Frequencies: For the title track we're back to harder psy again with some really tasty acid lines. The production quality is nice and the pads envelope you with a real sense of depth and immersion. If you only have time for one track, listen to this one. 9/10 7. Dopamine: This sounds closer to pure psytrance to me. The light sort of synth-almost-a-flute melody is nice from about 1:40. Past the halfway mark I must admit I was losing interest a bit but the closing parts of the track were a bit better. As mainly a Goa fan I may not be the target audience. 5/10 8. Spiritual Smiles: It opens with chanting, then the standard kick and bass, and a fairly laid back mood with lots of weird ambient sounds and one meandering synth. Then from around 4 minutes we get nice acid coming in. A trippy breakdown where the chanting comes back. 8/10 9. Elevated State: This one is some crazy mind jumbling psytrance. Sounds to me a bit like darkpsy with the tempo turned down slightly. 6/10 10. Earth's Consciousness: We end with another serviceable psytrance track that's well put together but not really my cup of tea. 5/10 As primarily a Goa fan who also enjoys psychill and ambient but is less keen on modern psy, I find this album a bit of a mixed bag, but the good bits are great and the rest of it I certaintly wouldn't mind having on in the background. I deliberately listened to this before trying any of Moon Tripper's older music. It will be interesting to see if that is more to my tastes. 6/10 https://moon-tripper.bandcamp.com/album/hypnotic-frequencies?label=3714585001&tab=music

That's my personality, I'm quite brazen and in your face.. Is that better or worse than being anonymous and spamming " 😥" reactions to my posts? Like some random coward? If you don't like, say it. Don't hide behind a anonymous reaction like whoever keeps stalking me. Also, what's wrong with my superlatives? Is it that hurtful? No, it's really not. And yes it's a jokey style. It's not my fault everyone here are so freaking uptite. I really feel bad for you if you can't take a freaking joke. (I don't mean you personally acid being but "you" as in a general statement) Put your fucking skirt down and stop reacting to me like I'm a fuggin Hitler.
