I just finished a trade with Trolsk and everything turned out fine, no problems at all. Thanks and any time again

OK, a few are still left, I´ve lowered the price of the remaining ones a bit.

Most of the time I order either from Ant-Zen or Ad-Noiseam because they´re both located in Germany. But there´re other sites depending on where you live.

Anyone heard LPS´new compilation called "Denial and Error"? That´s the best example for what you call Psyrave. I always liked the LPS releases but this one is a bit... cheesy imo. Hope they will return to their previous style, I just can´t handle this cheap wannabe dark rave stuff. I never thought I would one day say that about LPS, but this is almost as horrible as the Chemical Crew stuff.

You might also like "Carl O´Connor & Peter Sutton - Against Nature (Tresor rec)", but beware, this is more like straight industrial techno. edit: I´m just listening to it right now and... no, forget about it, you probably won´t like it. Great news

"One mans crap is another ones gold"

Try releases from "Horns and Hoofs" (especially "Eleventure"), "Boshke Beats", "Psyristor Trax" and "Moonflower rec". PPS Project, Authentik/3.Turn, Opsis, ...

It´s plain impossible for me to make a choice between them. As you already said, they all have a different style and feeling, from twisted and mindblowing to hypnotic and endlessly deep, and I love them all equally for what they are.

Kode IV - Visions, released on Ceiba Records´ "The Language of Light Vol. 3"

Xenomorph - Killerstate

same here, but even now I prefer CDs over mp3s any time

Yes, Nerve is brilliant as well, no that techy though some more: Fletcher Mundson Syndrom - Clubkraft http://www.discogs.com/release/17244 Source Unknown - AM Receiver http://www.discogs.com/release/17245

Judging by your examples you want some early techtrance/psytech stuff. For this style the first Spirallianz album "Blast Food" should be obligatory imo. Others that haven´t already been mentioned: Paps - 2000 hands remixes http://www.discogs.com/release/83294 Charasmatix - Soma agents http://www.discogs.com/release/35884 V/A - Z.M.A.RT http://www.discogs.com/release/70870 V/A - World techno alliance http://www.discogs.com/release/150901 MOS - Meter http://www.discogs.com/release/66694 3.Turn - Explicit http://www.discogs.com/release/51881 not that old but you might also like the releases from "Psyristor trax" and the album of "PPS Project - AC vs DC" ... ...

Are you sure you listened to the right album? I have to agree with you that it´s not really dark, far from, but Detroit influences... come on, I can´t hear any influences of Detroit techno. No offence, but do you even know what you are talking about?

yep, still available, check your PMs...

another update...

Of course they´re all originals, I don´t like mp3s or copied stuff, it´s of no value for me, just the real thing.

I´ve only got the Origin album and it surely is one of the best IDM releases I purchased lately, no doubt. Btw could any of you guys recommend some really dark IDM which is not too minimalistic and has at least a tiny bit of groove/drive?

Flying Rhino always stays number one, then there is Matsuri, Tatsu and last but not least Novatekk which had a huge amount of releases, half crap, half top, roughly speaking. Is Plastik Park still active? I guess, but I would like them to revive their dark minimal sound of "Progopoly", which was their best release by far imo. edit: How could I forget Creamcrop rec, I loved every single release they put out, quality techy stuff... come back!!

You forgot their album "Distanz" which was released in 2000 I think. However, their best releases still remain "Raumgleiter" (Spaceglider) and "Wellenbad", classics imo.

Ahh, I´ve already got this one and let me tell you this is damn sick stuff, although it´s more of an audiobook than a music album. And imo the reader, Brian Evenson (don´t know him, never heard of him), does his job not really good, I mean he reads too fast and almost without any modulation. But maybe it´s just me because English is not my mothertongue and my brain is a bit too slow to follow him... at least you can read the stories in the CD inlet

I think it won´t reach 180bpms because I can´t see how it should be possible to get into a state of trance (while dancing) at that speed. And besides that it probably would sound like sh*t!! 150-160bpms is already fast enough I´d say, if not too fast already.

I can´t help, but think it´s just cheesy crap and the worst track on the entire album IMHO.

Your recipe looks very good to me. A party is perfect for me when there´s a storyline in the music lineup, starting slowly, hypnotic, tribal like and then getting harder, darker and faster as the party continues and then slow things down again, ending the party with a posotive and happy sound. But nowadays I´m actually already more than happy if they change styles at least once in a party...
