Reger that crop circles dat is very real and the tracks are from the guys, no der dritte raum or any other musician involved. As u may or may not know most were made by the team all together but certains wer emade by filippo and franco alone (the lotus omega). Beside this i can say the versions floating on p2p are crappy rips at 160kb/sec from a mini disc from a certain dude i know, nothing to compare with the true audio quality matarial. I also have had for many years the p2p mp3 editions and when after incredible and loong deeds i had the chance to get the whole thing i was amazed by how different were the tracks. Not that they are mislabeled or something but the ones spread really lack of depth. Nothin much to clarify i think. I am working through the option of releasing the tetrahedron album but is really difficult, if u all knew the guys in real you would immediately understand why, sad but true. For everyone who wants the single, chances are really next to zero to get the remains of the label. So as for now the extra original copy remains one. One advice i can give you is to stop using p2p and try to deal with oldschool djs having real dats. MP3 sucks hard, especially those old ones made in 95-97 with crappy encoders at low bitrate. The most beautiful unreleased tracks are to be found on shelves of djs/artists who are at least over 30.

ah also i forgot to add a couple of rare items i got: Prana - Voyager 2 CDS (got it for free from a french dude) Etnica - The EP (Brainstorm, got for free as well from andrea rizzo) D.I.D. - The Elixir Of Life (10 eur) <- marvellous ambient almost unknown to goa collectors usually VA - Infinity Hz (1 pound at camden town in 1999 crazy deal, mint conditions) well these are more or less the most valuable items i have i guess the blue moon cds costed me a lil fortune as well, forgot to mention them in the "highly paid ones" 35 eur each and one got lost in the mail (electron wave - uncertain principle bmhq edition, and i know im never going to find this original again.. i asked to a dude in thai but no chances.. buh)

I see you all guys are crazy about the Crop Circles uh! i been mentioned more than once in the thread so i guess i will just sneak into and write a word or two. Regarding the crop circles material i do have all in double copy (except the cd single) one retail and one promo ep with the papers of the auracle records. I wonder how was possible that that dude paid 82 pounds for that promo ep of lunar, when i bought it for less than 12 pounds not so log ago (1 or two year). Regarding the CDSingle is vry real! i dont understand why u all seems so obsessed with it tough. As a matter of fact i tracked down another copy of that but is only one. i will probably put it on ebay as i know at least 3 people killing for having it, and that would be niobium, ukiro and e.m. All of them are trustred collectors but the extra copy is one and i can't do anything about it. I had my plas to buy the whole archive of Auracle Recordings but Tom doesn't want to deal anything. I guess he has quite some personal troubles. I am moving in other directions about it but seems all a lost effort. I will simply sell this extra copy and forget about that dude. I am in contact with all the etnica and lotus omega guys but theres no need to say they don't even have their own copies of all the stuff they released. Maybe only Max has some copies of the Auracle Cdsingle(s? probably there was FMJ too). This has long gone lost im afraid. Speaking of other rarities well i had my good chances of finding some very rare records for very lil cash, but on other occasions i had to spend a lot my cheapest buys were: Hux Flux . Cryptic Crunch (10 pounds delivered, mint condition in 2004) Dimension 5 - Transdimensional (13 eur mint in 2004) Juno Reactor - Luciana (5 pounds, mint in 2001) Crop Circles - Lunar CDS (9 pound mint in year 2000) Hallucinogen - LSD CDS (1 eur mint 2004) My most expensive boughts: VA - Tokyo Tekno Tribe 1.5 (55 eur) Pleiaidians - Alcyone EP (78 pounds) KURO - Visions Of Mars (35 eur) KURO - Revolutions (30 eur) everything else in my collection i paid from 10 to 20 eur max. cheers everyone

very nice housey-chilly track.. the voice is great! ahve u ever tought about being a singer? i think u should !! if u refine the mix and the production i can use it for the opening of a housey set ! nice job man!! positive vibes! and actually i'd liek to read your discussion of the meaning of life and the every man has a possibility thing...

i like this tune as well! the kick is totally out of range tough.. i would select something totally different.. and less loud.. plus u have to raise the background fxs and "noises" the snares and the fxs are generally well made.. the pads need to be mastodontic dude! try to equalize the whoel track much higher excluding the kick.. then add a proper kick and u will a killer oldschool.. also raise the "ghostly voices" near the ned.. they need to be heard ! the result will be a mixture of ka-sol with hallucinogen and some others!

listening right now: interesting intro... the beat comes at the right moment and so does the note changes. The windy effect is a nice oldschool touch. the melody is a little bit too much astral projection's alike tough.. maybe a change of synth would help ... production is still poor tough.. and the passage at 2:14 should be changed (together with the keyb sound settings). It gets better a lil later but still needs to be reworked i think. Nice effort cheers

good job rennis.. i will download them and tell you.. but usually i like your work! 9 tracks shared thats great man! is an album practically cheers!!

hello you should elaborate a bit more the track.. the beat is a little weird but ok the synths are a little bit in the background and they are a bit repetitive.. but develop further the track and you should get something enjoyable keep it up!

humm seems REALLY weird.... maybe Oztralian

Interesting stuff here... incredibly to say this tune should have come out from the north of Norway or Sweden.. i have a Shlabbadeurst feeling to it! Twisted Synths and interesting structure.. the beat that change rhythm is not expected and interesting in the way it is! Boom!

Some clarifications for you all; being a close friend to Andrea Rizzo i feel i shouls write a couple of things. I can't tell too much because there are a lot of things going on. Andrea is making new music, altough he took different directions. The only thing i can assure you all is that Andrea & Carlo will NOT be back in Pleiadians, that's sad but true, simply accept it and don't ask me why as i can't answer you. Carlo has made some parallel music in the lounge-chill side with the project name Daedalus and had a album called Shambala for a chill restaurant in Milano (where bot Andrea and Carlo are living). Anyway Maurzio had a great role in IFO too, he is simply bored by that sound and he now likes more house, eurotrance as well as clean trance, no more layers/millions of fx. the times are over. people should accept his decision. Carlo left in sep-1998 while Andrea in aug-1999. Both for different reasons. Andrea recently restarted going to the studio, partially thanks to my effort in pushing him toward developing more music and he is now collaborating with other italian musicians (like Lotus Omega for ex). The third album was to be called : The Explorer and most of the track on that have been later on released either with etnica or pleiadians name. I don't have the new pleiadians promo yet, but when i will i will inform some of my friends, at least ukiro, on how it sounds. peace PS: there is a lot of other valid musicians to keep an eye on, for example Filteria and Ethereal. in my opinion they are the new Pleiadians

ouch what a incredibly beautiful track is sample 3!!! damn! that was true goa .. unfortunately i never ever heard it ... but thanks to this sample at least i got an idea ! yeah youy should rip the whole tape and encode it properly for the true oldschoolers maybe post on isratrance too, there is a lot of experienced people and maybe someone knows it!

Obli did the trick here. is the most sensed and correct reviewer of the album. the thing is that the scene is different form 96-97. Live sets are different, drugs has insomewhay changed its appearence to the parties. i say that cause i see what is happening at the parties. so from the old psychedelic days where everyone was on acid and loved to hear the psychedelic sounds, we turned to a wolrd of cocaine, extasy, crack and weed. That stimulates more and more the need of dark and powerful vibes. That is in my opinion (and i swear ONLY as i see it) what affected most the scene and made everyone turning to minimal. For me, not being under any influence, i just say i love much more th e96 sound but i dig some new experiments, and as young say chrome is well produced and has at least 3 very good trax (that u all know). so take care and listen what ureally like.

SHITTY minimal .. go to hell you dark minimalistic ravers.. take ur exstasy in a tekno party and do us a favour LEAVE the psycedelic scene please.. bah crappy world. GO FOR SPACE TRIBES CLOTHES and FULL ON MUSIC!!!

early goa heads are a must i do own them all and i think i am going on cause except the doubles u may find a lot of material is available on vynil only and on these kinda compilation is the only way to get em good mastered at cd quality =)

GUYS this CD rocks remake of eye am the I is simply wonderfoul =) the flame is absolutely astounding and deserved to be properly distribuited on a cd.. (crap psychedelic demons compilation..zoomshot does not distribuite it widely). And again melodies are great 9/10

9/10 a true psychedelic classic if u don't have that.. go buy it now!

well u all need to clear your mind if u all wanna hear is dark minimal trance then don't go for asia 2001.. it has always been intended as a GOA artist so the sound is like that. I personally love every track of this "old" stlye.. a lot of people says it's old-school.. but jeek this is the true goa sound, i mean, why u tend to classify it as old? probably some people just got tired of the style.. but that is not a good reason to throw shit at artists.. they deserve respect.. and personally i do like this. love, light & respect draeke PS: 7/10

seems goa is dead forevah.. i find this cd HORRIBLE.. absolutely inhearable.. boring all same rough and bad mastered.. bhaa... it just pisses me of.. only nice is intro and outro nothing else i would play in a set. VOTE: 1/10 PS: scizoeffective was SO much better..

hel hell hell, in UK there this group called rumour records, associated with jumping and thumping or something similar associated with jake stepehnson (shamanic tribes on acid only member). they all release crappy music (even if some of the track on the 4cd of roumour were not too bad. the point in the best goa trance track ever is to make money =( and that's a shame. people who do not know goa and buy this one won't understand what's real good goa sound.. =( lame lame lame

hmm yeah pretty rare, thanks to symbiote i have it =) the b-sifde, just for the curious is titled etnica - nes on a mix cd in israel.. ehehhe =) dj guy - trance from israel boom shankar

bamboo is always bamboo.. the greatest france dark tribali style. the eps he did 3 are all great. cheers

in my opinion the album is great and you have to get the whole messages from it. "I have been there..."
