    Spike or Softy?

    in General Psytrance

    Posted

    Omg, I applied my spikes and the bass is totally different. Before it was much more distorted and became blurry now it's more like the bass is like in real good headphones, quick and swift. Jeez never could I imagine that it would make such a difference. Whohaaa!!!

    I just read about spikes, when I bought my speakers they both came with 4 spikes to each one of them. Now I am wondering if those spikes are important since I have not mounted them.. First I thought it was only for stability but now I read that it will increase sound quality. But there seems to be 2 opinions, one where spikes give a good sound and one where softspikes (meaning something soft) gives a good sound and vice versa. I also heard that on a soft floor spikes are bad and there something soft should be used and on a hard floor spikes is the ultimate choice. I am a little confused, I will try to mount my spikes and see if there is any difference in sound but what are you're experiences and are you the spike or softy type?

    Prahlad: Movements of Consciousness

     

    Release info:

     

    Movements of Consciousness was inspired by an interview with Dr. Goswami, a leading quantum physicist.

    This radical new science is revolutionising many people's view of the world,

    and being fascinated with its fundamental theories, Prahlad became drawn to write a unique accompanying soundtrack.

     

    The album spans a wide range of electronic music: influences can be heard from Electro, Progressive and Full On.

    However, the overall sound is distinctly different: besides contagious groove elements and psychedelic effects, it also

    leaves space for expansive arrangements and captivating melodies.

     

    These are augmented by introspective breaks that incorporate sound textures from all over the globe:

    Buddhist mantras and ethereal female voices are varied with acoustic instruments from the eastern and western music traditions.

     

    The album concludes with a hypnotic ambient track that shows a glimpse of what is to come in the down tempo album which is in production now.

     

     

    Tracklist :

     

    1. Hommage to Moog

    2. Meditation

    3. Man Up

    4. Psyched

    5. Astronauts

    6. Movements of conciousness

    7. Shantified

    8. Illusision

    9. Raver for life

     

    Review:

     

    It's hard to find good psytrance releases these days, and I was very suspicious when I first heard of this album, I have never heard of Prahlad before and I was very skeptic while listening to this release. I feel as it hasn't been a really good release of psytrance since 2003, at least not for my taste. I like melodic psytrance, and if it's not to be melodic it has to be really good for me to appreciate it. Prahlad's album is kinda slow paced comparing to most psyrance that comes out nowdays and extremely melodic. And having a soft spot for that I fell immediately. It's not something ground breaking, or innovative but the tracks are nice, well composed with nice melodies in them. The more I listen the more I appreciate this album. The intro to Psyched I believe the sound is taken from one of Bluetech's tracks just can't figure out wich one. All in all a really nice album that fit just into my taste, and one of the better releases in many years. I urge all of you who are into more melodic music to check this one out.
