  1. I just can't stand 99% of all the cliche's in the full-on/psy scene these days such as Aliens (for the 1.000.0001 time - get over it - they are too far away for you to "see" them), Drugs (yeah yeah we got it... you like drugs - so what?), P.L.U.R (The hippies died out in the late 60's early 70's - move on!!!)

    couldn't agree more

  2. well, about flexitones...

     

    the cd (that was due august) has disappeared from chaosunlimited coming soon list but if you check amazon.co.uk you find...

     

    January 10, 2005 :blink:

     

     

    frustrating :angry:

     

    meanwhile, the promo has already leaked so you can actually download the album from the usual places (exaclty what happened with robot.o.chan some months ago). This is sad because when it will eventually be released it will be old news. I will definately buy it though because twisted = quality (alright I admit, I downloaded it and the album kicks ass so I have to have it!!)

     

    They must have major distribution problems, otherwise I don't see what the hell could be wrong. Are they not interested in their cd sales?

  3. haha! yeah, try heavy metal for stories!

     

    Anyway, i think "Planet BEN - Trippy Future Garden" has an epic feel. Also, "The Mystery of the 13 Crystal Skulls" tries to tell a story but I don't know if it succeeds (anyway really great compilation though. You could check the recent album "The Misted Muppet - From The Legend" as well.

  4. I'm not letting MixMeister to do the mixes automatically, I am carefully "orchestrating" them manually! The "cheat" is that I don't have to manually beatmatch the tracks (MIxMeister is spot on) as I do when I use decks so I save some time there! Anyway, beatmatching is only a very small portion of what a good mix is, IMO. You have to pick the right tracks so that they actually sound good together, not out of sync, and create the right "flow". And of course timing is very important as well... All these things cannot be done without human intervention (not yet, anyway) regardless of what software program you use.

     

    I will check out Traktor, though. Thanx for the tip!

     

    Also, I just ordered Hercules DJ Console. There is a dedicated MixVibes version for it (really nice software).

    Looks like a really fun toy :D

  5. hi all,

     

    I am currently fooling around with MixMeister, you can download the "results" here:

    so far I have 3 atmospheric drum & bass sets and one dedicated to Infected Mushroom (Infected music all the way through). enjoy!!

     

    also, you can check out this little page:
