  1. Seriously, it makes me sick to my stomach to see how much money I've maniacally wasted on fucking CDs. And now I seek to spread the (mis)fortune! :rolleyes:

     

    I'll take your monies only through Paypal. You can pay with dollars too, and I will ship to the americas, but I won't fill out any customs papers, so that's all your problem.

     

    If you feel the prices are too high, they're all very negotiable. Conditions on request, but I think they're all pretty reasonable.

     

    30 euros apiece.

    PM sent. When I see those very attracting prices, I hope it isn't an April fool... :P By the way, what are the CD conditions?
  2. is this thread about the actual names of the tracks of the fact the tracks are fitt in the album and tell and a story...

     

    I'm a bit stoned,

     

    I would say:

    mysterie of the yeti I and II and the mysterie of the thirteen crystal skulls...

    Well, this is what I wanted to point out in the end of my first post: there's the obvious "track names concept" like Zodiac, there's the "whole music genre concept" like Twelve, and there's the "atmosphere/journey concept", like Blue Energy. I won't tell you that this topic is only about track names, but IMO the journey concept will not really fit. I don't see it as a real conceptual thing, when the tracks are VERY different from the others (you can't tell that Sommeil Paradoxal has a musical connexion to Anawa's Paradise).

     

    Just to make an example: The Mystery Of The Yeti 1 has IMO a music concept, since the whole musical creation was centered around a specific theme (not only the Yeti theme, but the creation of the tracks). But The Mystery Of The Yeti 2 doesn't have this musical concept anymore, because even though it might have some general cohesion, there is no link (musically) between the tracks - and by link I don't meen a simple mix or a general genre cohesion, but a true connexion.

     

    Anyway, this is quite complex for me (and even more difficult to explain what I think), and I think we all have a different approach to the "concept" concept :P , so I'm not restricting any proposition.

     

    I hope I made my self a little bit clear, but I'm not really good explainig myself, so when it's in english... it's even harder :ph34r:

  3. Ubar Tmar - Macrometasomakosmos :P

    WHOA! Now that's a concept! How the track titles are put on the CD case??? :blink:

     

    Recently

     

    Principles of Flight - Night time Lullabies

     

    has a story feel to it!

    Great one! It seems like a fantasy story.
  4. Hm.

     

    The VA - Phenix compilation, perhaps (track names obviously, although they've got similar names).

     

    Holymen - Color of Sound (no, not all tracks have names reminiscent of colors, but I thought I'd add this one anyway :P)

    Yay! The Phenix compilation is weird... No track names? But it's a concept.
  5. I'm particularly happy with what Bill wrote on that page I linked to, because when he says "It was picked up by a few people, one reviewer in particular completely got the whole plot..." he was talking about my review. :):D

    Damn, I don't think I would have ever notice that... It was very clever from you! :)
  6. Cosmosis - Contact

    Read more about it here

     

    :)

    Nice one, antic! ;)

     

    The concept line is really subtle (as said in the webpage), but very well thought.

    By the way, I don't think I'm mistaking when I say that he sampled The Sixth Sense: "Walking around like regular people" in the Contact track?

  7. Hello all.

     

    I first got aware of this kind of album when I saw the Talamasca - Zodiac CD. All the track names were zodiac names. Although the music didn't follow any special concept (except being full-on/typical Talamasca style), it did add something (bad or good, it's you to decide) to the album. So I wondered what other concept albums are out there. The ones I know are:

     

    Talamasca - Zodiac (only track names IMO)

    The Mystery Of The Yeti 1 (track names AND music)

    The Mystery/Secret Of The Thirteen Crystal Skulls (hum... hard to say about the music, it has a sort of concept, but the most noticeable are the track names)

    Twelve (music and track names)

    Pleiadians - IFO (only track names)

     

    The problem is also to distinguish "concept" music and the genre. I mean Jaia - Blue Energy could have been a concept album, but the track names have no link between each other, and the music is indeed a journey and it gets really close to "concept", but IMO it's not exactly that. On the contrary, I think that Twelve has concept music, since the whole album is beatless ambient. But then, I can't say that any beatless album would be a "concept" album. What do you think about it?

  8. The CD that brought me into Goa... I have almost nothing but good things to say about this album.

     

    1. LSD is so uplifting, complex, mind expanding and other superlatives I don't have in mind right now. One of the best tracks I know. Builds slowly but surely to a final explosion of fireworks and cosmic ascent. I also really like the bassline, smooth (the way I feel it) and that is leaving enough space for the melodies. Hallucinogen strikes right from the beginning with a hit track to set our mind for the rest of the journey - "He's loosing his mind, and feel just going" describes it perfectly. Breathtaking. Funny but it took me like 10 listens to appreciate this track, unlike the others...

     

    2. Orphic Thrench: I like the way things change from cosmic melodies to a bit "darker" and deeper atmosphere. It has some groove that makes you shake your head. A rougher sound with higher melodies in the background. In my opinion it's a good track to dance on.

     

    3. Alpha Centauri, the trip to the stars... This is what pops into my mind when I hear this track. At the beginning he continues with the groove of Orphic Thrench but soon after the melody is introduced and the cosmic feeling is taking the lead. It's one of the best examples of what I would call "spiral melodies" (I can't describe it properly). The melodies keep coming and going, until the end when it's combined with voices that shift to electronic sound and it's pure bliss...

     

    4. Dark Magus takes us again to darker fields. But just the right amount of darkness after the enlightment of Alpha Centauri. At the beginning the melody itself delivers some groove, and I kinda like it. I don't even think it's complete darkness. It's like dark and light are combined. Great atmosphere track, but the melody is not the top... In my opinion it's a good intro track for Shamanix, so I feel like it's a bit a transition track.

     

    5. Shamanix is not like anything I've heard before. A very weird track, with great rythm, and in the beginning great melodies. It seems that the melodies are made from screamings, it's really unusual. I just don't really like the way the track evolves from 7:00 - 7:30, too bad...

     

    6. Snarling Black Mabel slows things a bit at the beginning, but only to build the atmosphere and the melody for the middle of the track. Very entrancing track, another deeper one.

     

    7. Fluoro Neuro Sponge is the adrenaline burst!!! Starts right away with madness rhythm and brainstorming sounds, you can't stand impervious to it, you're accelerated to light-speed in just 30 seconds. It's the perfect atmosphere for dancing. The track builds itself exactly the way you want it to be. I'm in love with the 2:41 transition, and the way it builds just after... OMG!!! I'm breathless, makes my heart beat too fast. Then a melody that I don't like THAT much comes in, but it's ok. But at 5:06 it's great again, too bad it's the beginning of the end...

     

    8. Solstice is the most emotional track after LSD (in my opinion). A felted, smooth atmosphere (especially the bassline), just the perfect thing to end an album. Constantly switching between emotional melody to danceable one. There is also this voice, so emotional, so relaxing... A PERFECT ending!

     

    My highlights are: 1, 2, 3, 7, 8. The tracks that I enjoy listening by themselves are: 1, 7, 8.

     

    This album is a journey to your inner (the darker tracks) cosmic (the cosmic ones) feelings. It has transitions between the tracks (except for Dark Magus - Shamanix) and it adds a lot for the "journey" atmosphere (have you noticed how much have I used this word? I have to find a synonym). Sounds, melodies, rhythm, everything is set for a trip that is one of a kind, you just have to get the CD, find yourself 70 minutes of calm and press the "play" button. You won't regret it (at least I hope).
