From the Native State Records newsletter: Native State proudly presents Outlines, the highly anticipated full-length album from Shen. Taken from the arcane Taoist term for 'refined energy' or 'depth', Shen is Noah Pred's outlet for low-tempo explorations of forward-thinking computer music. Drawing inspiration from geomancy and botanical architecture, Shen dives deep into forward-thinking electronic dub and downtempo. His music takes advantage of cutting-edge digital technologies while retaining an analog warmth and character through exquisite chords, textures, and atmospheres.

A new album by Adham Shaikh, Collectivity, has been released on Sonic Turtle: Collectivity @ Sonic Turtle Collectivity @ Discogs.com Previews @ Saiko Sounds

I would recommend something a little bit less psychedelic if she is a novice. Maybe: V.A. - Beneath the Surface V.A. - Kumharas Vol 2 V.A. - Left Coast Liquid V.A. - Melatonic Music Personally, I would give her something outside of the psy genre, like Thievery Corporation, Cibelle, Colleen, Fila Brazillia or Flanger.

I hope that you have all noticed an artist called Gappeq. He's one of the most interesting new artists in our scene, he actually creates psychedelic music and he is very talented at it. In the release information for the new Kethu compilation, Psychic Imprint, they mention that Gappeq's debut album will be released this winter! Are there any rumours about it out there? Btw, his new track on the above mentioned compilation is yet another great number. Too bad all Ketuh compilations follow the same formula: excellent opening track by Gappeq followed by generic fillers.

Engrish must be the new official full on language since Digital Psionics is an Australian label.

Seriously, this is good stuff! Certainly my kind of vibe. Could you upload full quality versions?

There are some previews from the upcoming album on Fake Science's pod cast: http://us1.fakescience.com/labreport.php The previews are great!

Another excellent and beautiful track!

Amazing album! One of the few releases I've bought this year.

We need more Bigwigs!

I've been on that list since 1996 and I remember that classic 604 post. Those were the days.

Thanks!

Thanks! Highly appreciated, let me know if there's anything you're looking for and I'll do the samething for you.

The sample in Protoculture's Terra Tronics is from Doom 3.

Is it an MP3 mix? If so, where can I download it? Google returned too many crap results...

LOL! When I heard the samples I said to myself: this sounds just like Bluetech, but I have all Bluetech tunes and I don't recognize this so it's probably something else. Guess I was wrong, or right, or something. :-)

I don't know what track it is but if you ever find out please let us know. Great track!

Ah, yes, shufflepuck is an old school version of air hockey: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shufflepuck_Cafe

Imagine playing shuffle puck on that table with the cubes!

Does it matter? I don't care if it's a sample cd, a hot chick sample, or a composition of raja ram's farts, it's a great track regardless of the source.
