Hey, thanks for the heads up This is one of those albums I've been meaning to get since forever, but never got around to it (and the only copy on Discogs is almost $50). So I got it, even if I really couldn't afford it right now. Oh well, that's life

love it! great atmos and clean sound quality in general

Yes for me it is morning full on usually. For example this album is very good if you never listened to it before > https://www.discogs.com/Mr-Peculiar-Mind-Dala/release/490300Mr. Peculiar - Mind-dala.

I've just listened the album. Don't feel like saying much about the music itself but there's something from a producer's point of view that disturbs me here. The mastering is okay/good. It's not unbearably loud and has some dynamics. The other thing, that's more of a choice in how to produce and mix your tracks, is, apart from the track with Menkalian, uneasy percussions. Many of the tracks have disturbingly high volume on high hats, so that open hat almost drowns underneath (track three for example). When high hat is all you hear, it sounds like a detached element and lacks a proper dialogue with the actual music. Also, can't help to notice, there absolutely no groove in high hats. With groove I mean some more thought out patterns than the constant "zik-zik-zik-zik", that seems to go with almost no pause during the tracks. When I listened the music at high volume, the percussions *kinda worked* meaning it's less noticeable. But at low volume it takes all my focus off the the music and I gotta say, for me personally, the album wasn't a great listening experience.

It's just an advisory committee , the punishment continues

This is a citation of the geek link that @Earwall posted: "But we can be better than this. By consciously rejecting the stereotypes, by losing the defensive status games and focusing on the joys of our shared mutual interests, we can fix geek culture, make it more open and welcoming. It can be a celebration of our passions instead of another way of limiting ourselves and pushing away people who would otherwise share in the things we love." Pretty applicable to psynews, also, just like Earwall stated But as I said: it is highly unlikely to change the reality by male members here by themselves: more women just need to come and see what happens. It is as simple as that. Until that I will have a nice fest dancing here by myself like Billy Idol used to sing. I have watchers, though, many of them with monitoring sensors, so not alone, hah Anywayz it is gonna be a 100% male forum soon enough as I quit for the time being (work reasons + I am a person who is not present half-way: I cannot handle that )
