    Looking for good full-on albums!

    Np it's not that I dont think it's good, it's great music and all.. but it doesn't feel like Melodic Full-On.

    I do like the song Videorome. Any other songs you can single out? So I can give them a better listen.

    For example, the tune Sonic Algebra on the Sonic Algebra album is wicked in my opinion... You have to let it unfold though!

    DJing with MP3s!

    It's a lot more complicated; what gets left out depends on the entire spectrum of sound at the moment and even before. Like a loud hihat won't let you hear much of the high-frequency spectrum even a few dozen milliseconds after. This "psychoacousic model" is the one thing besides speed that makes encoders different, and most had years of research put into them.

    Cool, let's do it like this: someone could send me a couple of WAV snippets from various CDs, say a minute each. I'll encode them with a few different codecs and bitrates (I can do LAME and OGG, maybe someone else do Fraunhofer's, XING or whatever is teh shit in the closed-source world) and convert them back to WAV, the same way they'd be decoded when played live. Then people can download them and listen to them as often as they like and on the best equipment everyone can get their hands on, and finally everyone has to rank them in order of sound quality and identify the original (might be someone recognizes a compressed version but actually finds the sound more pleasant).

    Wicked idea! Let's bloody do it!

     

    We could just use a simple poll? Who is keen to provide Acido Domingo with some files?

     

    I would do it, but I just do not know how to cut WAV files into 1 minute snippets. Give me some advice and I will do it...

    So it's my birthday

    Since I'm representing Iboga, I won't do any blatant promotion and recommend any of our releases, but there is also plenty of other good stuff to chose from out there.

     

    V/A - Uncharted from Flow Records (this one is essential)

    V/A - New Order from HOMmega (also essential)

    V/A - Afterhourz from Groove Zone (also essential)

    V/A - Globalize 1 and 2 from Flow Records (I probably like part 1 best)

    Vibrasphere - Archipelago Remixed from Digital Structures (mostly progressive, but also chill, minimal and some slightly full on)

    D-Nox & Beckers - Left Behind on Electribe (this is VERY minimal compared to the other recommendations, but one of the best releases this year in my opinion)

     

    Word on the street also says that the Shadow FX debut album on Zenon is quite good, but I haven't heard it myself yet.

    Thanks for the recommendations!
