I've been clean for a tad over 5 years. Quit the booze and the drugs in 2012ish and cigs late 2014. Goa trance alone is enough to get me high

Hi all! This is kind of off topic, but it's also kind of on topic, but most important, this could be a major breakthrough so please contribute if you can afford: Click here if you want to contribute or if you want to know more: https://capstone.maps.org/ And listen to Tim Ferris' interview with Rick Doblin. The Tim Ferris podcast is available at Spotify, among others.

What would you buy, and why? (This seems like a natural topic progression from that other topic regarding old tools and the quality they still impart) Id buy alot of stuff thats for sure.. First and foremost Id get the JD-800. Or maybe the 990 cause its cheaper, and then get a controller for it. It sounds very particular and the main lead from Spiritual Healing was done in that thing, and thats probably the best lead sound ive ever heard. And theres just no way of getting the same Tonal qualites in any other synth; at least not currently avaliable. The Roland D-50 would probably come closest to the same tone; as the JD-800 had waveforms based off of the D-50. Id also wanna get the JP8000 cause it sounds so fresh and clean, very digital but very nice. And it has a wonderful arpeggiator/sequencer. Id say its either Virus, JP8000 or Nord lead, and Id pick the JP. Then Ill get the Fairchild 670 compressor from the 50s. That thing sounds so freaking good, its a tube compressor thats built like a tank (and looks like a tank, aswell). You just cant miss with that thing. Its even got M/S compression; something that staggers me they did all the way back then. And finally Id buy the API 2500 compressor. Also a beast. Its a VCA similar to the SSL bus compressor; but it has much more control AND a sidechain HPF. So for that extra sub-punchiness. Then Id probably be set, the rest Ill make do with software =) Total cost; roughly: €56.800 Fairchild 670: €45.000 API 2500: €3000 JP-8000: €7500 JD-800: €1300

If I had unlimtied funds I'd buy a separate room for a studio, at least 20 square meters, and invest few grands into a proper acoustic treatment and a good sub matching my monitors. Also a UAD card with full plugin package. Synth-wise I'd probably buy Waldorf Quantum and Dave Smith OB-6. But most likely I would still use mostly software synths for actual tracks

NHJO-sans words of wisdom still rings true to this day: "Remember, it's not you who do the drugs, it's the drugs who do you." Recited from chapter 7, page 43 in NHJO's great illuminated scriptures, The Encyclopedia of Infinite Knowledge.

Alcohol is a bitch to kick, but no drugs now for almost 2 years. I dont count cannabis into that category though Psytrance still is great both with and without the enhanced mindstate. Which in the long run is not enhanced at all anymore

Only took about 400-500 hours (probably more) and 6 months but I think the last track is ready now. Time for mastering... I got a great cover art ready as well!

Fair enough, I'll bite. What you posted is a pop science article and it aptly demonstrates what I mentioned earlier. For the sake of discussion, pop science has no peer review that's worth mentioning. Among the references are actual researches with their own goals and conclusions - these are certainly peer reviewed. As for the article A few excerpts. Vegetarians generally consume as much iron as, or slightly more than, omnivores. Said to be the concluded from [16]. Let's see [16], then. The purpose of [16] is clearly stated in their abstract - the study of bioavailability of iron and what controls (or inhibits) absorbtion - groups of Dutch people seem to be tested. [16] is obviously being quoted out of context for they make no such claim. There is no way of knowing, in general, that either one consumes more iron than the other. Rather, it is important, that either diet could provide sufficient amount of iron. The article poses an empty statement to meet some necessary word count or some such. ------------------------- Many scientists are calling for a substantial reduction of livestock products in the diet of humans as a major way to reverse climate change. Wrong. The following conclusion is arrived at in [107]. Conclusions Consuming a more plant-based diet could to an extent alleviate the negative environmental impacts related to food production. As a method to feed ourselves more sustainably, behavioural adjustments appear to be a very important tool. They make no certain claims, rather suggest that this is worth investigating and I agree, but this does not imply what was said in the article. ------------------------- I also found this gem In addition, beef production generates considerably more manure waste than from any other animal food production. This is said to be [108], which contains political statements in its conclusion. A big nono, so we'll regard that as a tongue-in-cheek essay. As for manure itself, it is a fertiliser Around here, that's how seasonal agriculture functions. The land is fertilised with captured manure. Live stock is as essential to plant life as it is to live stock. ------------------------- So, by now I think we get the picture. It is not about which diet is 'better', rather which diets are suitable for which people. As a prevalent characteristic of many references of the article - the goals of those works are to study the effects of either diet and to find balance. As an extreme example there is a certain condition that may cause (near) paralysis for people on a daily basis. Consuming more meat products significantly alleviates the condition (this is a recent discovery by G. Pilz based on relevant theory, he recently gave a talk in our university and as he himself suffers from this near paralysis condition, he applied the theory to narrow down his diet very quickly to determine which products he should discard). We should distinguish between veganism and veganism*. The latter is a political crusade, while the former is merely another way of life. I know people who have tried vegan diets for months only to end up more in despair and I also know people who have no problems with having only plant foods. Lots of interesting research is carried out on the subject of diets, but the crusaders are incorrectly quoting these discoveries. This is no surprise, though, while the meat eaters don't have their clips of loons with flamethrowers burning down bushes of berries, plenty of pop science has been written against vegan diets. It is not so well-known simply because it's not the stance promoted by the propaganda machine. Don't become a crusader, please. If your diet works for you, then all is well. As long as you are honest with yourself, you shouldn't get into health trouble. Now, I need me a lamb leg, baked potatoes, some tomato salad and lots of gravy. Have fun

Hello everyone. First and above all , we wish to thank our customers for your kind support. Here we will be posting content regarding our work , updates , new releases and so on. We are a small local business based family company. We have two releases available now which are: 1-Doc Von Ooze - in Vitro (Available in "12 + Digital) 2-VA-Journey Into Acid (Available in "12 + Digital) If you don't collect Vinyl you are welcome to purchase our releases in Digital format. You can also buy the tracks you like the most by selecting track -> buy track. We also have some T-shirts available which you can purchase directly from us. If you do , we will get them for you , or you can just simply follow the links so you can purchase them directly from our suppliers and other businesses we kindly support. PLEASE NOTE: For the moment we are not accepting orders for "12's as our Vinyl Manufacturer needs time to retool the Vinyl Machinery. When the machine is fully re-serviced , we will announce it and we will be more than happy to accept new orders. Customers that made their orders this past week : PLEASE DO NOT WORRY as your orders were completed and your records are on their way! Oh and before we forget , here's where you can reach us : https://lab37records.bandcamp.com/

here we go again!

Sorry but we're not going to slander or bring any publicity onto them especially after the damage they caused. And because of that we're not going to disclose any names. What happened to us can happen to any record label as producing physical products is always prone to risk. Also , manufacturers can always show you one thing and then come with another. They didn't reach the quality we wanted and expected. Therefor they damaged our company and they damaged our customers , so our contract was terminated. We just wish that , what happened to us won't happen to any other businesses. All businesses go through stuff , that's just how things are. If nobody wants to end in our situation , just better stay away from pressing records because it takes a lot of everything.

Sorry to hear about this, what's the name of the manufacturer? Could be good to know so that noone else ends up in this situation.

Thanks for the time you took recording a sample of it , which of course , it's complete and absolute dreadful quality. Hence why we had words with the Manufacturer , they didn't like what we had to say , specially after they assured us their service would be clean , professional and we put our trust in them. After we had words with them , unfortunatly as they somehow think their service is of good quality , they cut us off , hence why we quit releasing on physical media to avoid more incidents like these because we don't want any more "bad vibes" and stress thanks to their not-so-incredible work. Also , we're going to refund you Psyhoe and other customers that bought the Vinyls. We've also already edited our discogs and updated our releases with notes and reason for the Cdr Limited Editions and the Vinyl Mispress. @psyhoe Vinyl and CDr owners: if you wish to take photos of the Vinyls and scans of the cds , please feel free to contribute and add them up to our Discogs. We sure had a "wave of bad luck" , specially as a new record label that just started and we're happy this is all over. We are going to continue but our releases will just be Digital in order to avoid all kinds of issues that come from 3rd parties because this is truly shameful , specially from a Manufacturer to press Music like this and we're really sorry that things turned the way they did. We're more than happy to continue our work with Digital for maximum efficiency and deliver what you pay for , without any waiting times and the quality we all stand for.

I have recorded a sample of the vinyl of VA - Journey into Acid. i have skipped through Side A of the vinyl to record at various spots. you can hear clearly that there is a continous hissing noise throughtout the whole vinyl. @Lab37Records maybe you can use this sample for the manufacturer as a proof that the quality is poor https://soundcloud.com/psyhoe/va-journey-into-acid-lab37-vinyl-sample

Hi again ! So after this ''lucky streak''' , we had words with the manufacturer and as they seem to think their products are of very good quality they simply cut us off. So , no more Vinyls and no more CDr's. It's a simple as it gets. Those that ordered the CDs , they are obviously on the way and those won't have any problems , as for the Vinyl ones , we are going to refund our supporters soon as we can. We apologise for all this trouble and certainly none of this would've happened if companies that produce the records would act professionally instead of cutting Label Managers off because we simply pointed the issues and what they need to improve on , but they just simply cut us off completely. It's a sad moment not just for us but for the Music Industry and Record Labels which they depend on , in order to produce records so we can all contribute to the Music Industry in a positive way. But that's ok. In the end it's their loss as we already had our share of our loss. Despite all these backlashes , we hope that we start a fresh new chapter as we are more than happy to put all this behind our backs and release directly in Digital format which is an instant service without any waiting times (specially now when the whole world is in chaos with the Covid-19 as we all know) , so it's best for us , our fans and supporters that are able to get our releases instantly (although we know it's not the same as holding an actual record but that's how things seem to be nowadays anyways). Sorry for all this ''mess''. It certainly taught us a lesson that won't happen again. Please , enjoy the music guys! https://lab37records.bandcamp.com/

Hello everyone. As the Vinyl quality is nowhere up to our standards , we are stopping Vinyl publishing and we are going to refund our customers that have bought the Vinyls. Our apologies for this situation. From now on we will just be releasing in Digital and CDr. We'll be happy to post photos of our CD's when they arrive. Kind regards and all the best , /Lab37

Hello dear music lovers. We decided to make a public announcement regarding the Vinyls for the moment as Psyhoe informed us that the sound Quality is not proving to be satisfactory. Psyhoe pointed the Doc Von Ooze vinyl sounds ok but does not sound ''Deep and Juicy'' while the Journey Into Acid has hissing all over it and this is totally unacceptable. Not just this situation is totally unacceptable but also unfair because the music we are pressing deserves the best it can get. We're really unhappy and severely stressed with this situation and we have already contacted the company that is producing these cuts so as for now we are waiting for a solution from their part. We are demanding fresh proper cuts and replacements to our customers with Vinyl that provide a proper clean and powerful signal , else we will demand refunds and we will compensate customers that have bought the Vinyls. As for the moment we are going to remove the Vinyls off our page until this situation is resolved to avoid any further damage , because we don't want to supply anybody with items that have completely terrible sound quality. If the company that produces the Vinyls does not sort this problem out for good , we're deeply saddened by the fact we have to stop publishing our releases on such format and we will just publish them on CD's (and you can be sure they are real , they just won't have these issues as Vinyls can have and the music will sound good on them as it's a Digital Media and not Analogue one). Even tho , this is not due to a a fault of our own , but the manufacturer themselves (which they better step up and take some responsibility over this) we offer our deepest apologies to everyone and as it's for the moment we're deeply saddened and heartbroken about this as we always loved Vinyl but if this is the way it's going to be we will have to drop it. Feel free to order CD's since they won't have any of these issues if you wish to do so. PS - We spoke to Draeke (Dat Records) once regarding Vinyls and he said: ''they were a pain in the butt''. Now we understand. We'll keep everyone updated regarding this and hopefully a positive outcome will come out of this. Thank you for your time.

Thanks for sharing and for your support Psyhoe.

Just want to let you know I received my order today. The vinyl are real

Update: Vinyl services are back to normal.

After we spent countless hours (weeks in fact) digging through lots of music that would be worth the effort to make another great album , we finally came to a consensus and decided to release this today. VA - Genetically Modified (Available in "12 Vinyl , CDr and Digital) Kind regards , best wishes and please , enjoy! See you all soon! /Lab37

Hi everyone! New update. Vinyls are available. If you wish to place an order for Vinyl you are welcome to , although as they are still retooling the machine , Vinyl production could take up to 1 week , more or less for them to be ready. Anyways , if you purchase anything from us we will always keep you informed via Bandcamp. We'll post photos of our releases soon. Many thanks to everybody for your endearing love and support. /Lab37

Greetings everyone. As Vinyl Production is stalled at the moment , we have decided to make our releases available on Compact Disc. Releases on Compact Disc are available now and ready to ship at any time so feel free to place your order if you wish to own these albums in this format. We will also add ''Journey Into Acid'' in Compact Disc very shortly , so just keep checking! Thank you for your visit and wish you all a pleasant Sunday. /Lab37 https://lab37records.bandcamp.com/

Hi everyone. Just a small tiny update: We removed the T-Shirts as we decided to focus on the Music entirely. As for the Vinyl production , no updates yet but we are on top of the situation. We understand this can be frustrating for new customers that wish to purchase the Vinyls so we please ask and thank you for your patience. We will return when we get the green light from our Manufacturer and let everyone know when the Vinyls are available. Thank you.
