I hear good music all the time.. very good music in fact.. I agree that there are thousands of crappy releases, but amongst them, there are many good artists too.. maybe I just know where to look.. or maybe my opinion is just more ´including´ than other people... or maybe its because I listen before I buy, so I dont have problem with wasting money on crappy releases I even have trouble deciding which cds to buy, from so many good ones

hahaha

no need to hate my friend... ´I temporarily dislike´ is better heheheh =)

I had never heard about it... but I quite like drum druid´s track on butterfly dawn... then, you say there is youth involved, and I also like his second comp and his tracks... Shpongle varies, so I cant say.. but seems like a very nice cd.. is it available somewhere?

iron maiden actually has some kick ass instrumental stuff... I dont like the vocals, generally, but they have some really impressive ´story-telling´ music..

I heard penta in transit festival, in september last year, and I really didnt like... It was too fast and noisy, thousands noisy of layers, plus samples, in a 150bpm track or somethin... It sounded like radio interference mixed with fast beats... too fking neurotic for my taste... I did see some people going wild on it, though, so I guess like always, its on the ears of the listener =) about this ´psychedelic´ discussion.. I dont think it´s anybody´s right to claim which music is psychedelic and which one is not, because music touches each person in a different way.. for some, maybe even britney spears may be psychedelic... Old school goa doesnt touch me or make me feel different in any way, so I dont think its psychedelic (for me) for example...

I dont like old school anyway, so ´psy is dead´ does not mean much to me... (oh my god, what a blasphemy this sherlockalien says )

I have no idea how to define full on in exact words, even because I think no genre actually has a very clear dividing line to establish it´s borders.. There are cross-overs to all sides.. But whenever I hear one of those typical rolling basslines and lots of ´bleep and scratch´ sounds, I internally label it as full on.. now, I dont like full on.. Its a matter of taste, obviously... It just sounds too noisy for me.. I cant get the ´deep trippy´ feeling I get with dub/chill, and neither the ´groovy sexy´ feeling I get with progressive (or some prog house) music.... To me full on sounds like the same sound always, but I guess maybe for people who are not into progressive or chill, it must all sound the same to them too... then there is the link between full on and people who just got into trance, ecstasy-heads and also with the ´majority´ (so it seems pop´), and this is an argument people use against it.. But for me, that doesnt matter.. I dont care if its listened by ´newbies´ or ´pros´, or if the majority likes it or not.. I dont listen to it simply because I dont like the sound (but I dont deny that when Im in a party with friends, Im always making fun, sometimes pretending Im on ecstasy and imitating those funny faces and mouths, and dancing like one of those muscle-dudes on ecstasy hahaha..) also one thing I thought is that maybe also I didnt listen to the good full on, or didnt give it a chance...

hahahah say what?

yeah amithaba, that one was lame.. not only do I really dislike gms and all full on clones alike, but that song they remixed is totally lame and pop.. you know, the type of songs that 13 year old teenage girls scream and raise their hand in excitement and start singing along in their parties =) (nothing against a 13 year old though... just an example)

Take this forum, for example.. there are more posts in the off topic section than in the general section... so you can be sure that in any case, a chatroom would be somehow off topic =) but Im sure if you wanted to know something in specific about music, or wanted to start a music discussion, people would definitely continue your discussion...

hey trolsk.. its exclusive of their live set, I guess they will never release it, but its also on p2p networks....

there was a topic a couple of weeks ago about this I think... indeed a chatroom is always nice, but I think the real ´owner´, mars, does not have time for this.. (psynews version 2 rings any bell?) So we should use some chatroom elsewhere... sonicblend would be the best option imo...

very well said.. thats what I meant.. It doesnt matter which artist is being remixed.. what matters is what comes out.. Just like I said, minilogue remixing michael jackson came out really good, groovy stuff... minilogue kicks ass

not really surprising... but I dont think the artist that is being remixed says anything about the track.. Like, for example, minilogue´s remix of Bille Jean from michael jackson.. I really dig that track and I dont dig michael jackson, since I was like 10 or smt.. still.. I know what you mean... full on just keeps on getting worse... But at least I dont like this genre anyway, so I cannot get dissapointed =)

so this cd arrived yesterday.. Im still on the first listen.. I really dig all of this.. Its a slooooow cd, no ´cross over psygressive´, housy and groovy stuff... I still need to listen a bit more, but I really dig most of the tracks.. There were 3 tracks that I didnt enjoy so much though.. I didnt like so much the qualia track.. Too fast and.. I dont know.. a bit too much for me.. I also didnt really enjoy the 2 guitar tracks (7 and 8)... I still am on the first listen, so probably I will notice different things and digest these tracks a bit more, but for now: one of the best prog compilations lately, together with prooved vol 2 and playground... The cover, I liked a bit more than what I saw on the internet.. I digged the ´case slip´, and felt it was somehow ok the colourfull interior of the cover.. I still didnt like so much the front cover, but its not sooo bad.. btw.. the people who zombi thanks on the cover are the people to watch out for... life is progressive =)

I am somehow a purist when listening to music.. I want to get as best listen to it as possible, so I like to be concentrating and really listening to the music, not doing something else (appart from dancing or smoking a joint or whatever)... If I go do some exercise or whatever listening to psytrance, I feel I am somehow ´wasting´ the music.. so I normally do my stuff without psytrance/chill.. at max some yoga listening to chill I´d like to exercise a bit more than Im doing though.. Just weekly soccer and trail-hiking, and daily stretching is not enough.. I wanna sweat everyday.. gotta start moving a bit more

I dont remember exactly, but I think it was 2000, when I went to a small party.. I took a couple of years to get totally addicted though... I was too much into smoking and listening to bob marley and punk rock at the time =)

it is all phases.. sometimes I listen more, sometimes I listen less.. Lately i´ve been listening much more to chill-out/dub stuff, though..

I dont think it will be updated in the next.... century... My hopes go for www.sonicblend.com koolaid sayd that in less than 1 month, reviews section will be up and running... =)

always nice to be remembered =) haha lol at the funny definitions of people

I could advise you to come to brazil... awesome girls, beautiful nature and very good parties.. but I guess you wont come, so lets talk about europe well, I would advise you to go next year, not this.. why? because I wont be there this year hahahah.. nah but really... If I would go to europe, I would consider going to the following 3 festivals: Sonica in italy (for the location and the chill line up) Voov in germany (great fucking organization, and I loved the music last year) Samothraki in greece (I heard lots of bad stories about cops, but since they are doing it again, I guess they will have solved this problem.... but man, the line up, the place and the people seemed fucking awesome) and of course, anything else that would come my way... but if you go next year, maybe we meet =)

nope.. too much full on and too much already released tracks... better to give help in other ways imho

yes we all know isratrance is full of KILLAAAAAHs, and with tons of moderation... but, there is a lot of good information there, if you want to search, plus, you can talk to many of your favourite artists... but yeah, ´me likes´ psynews better =)

I guess my problem is the version of the reaktor then, because mine appears the reaktorVST, and not 4 ... Ill try upgrading, I guess that will solve the problem thanks a lot sphongled!
