  4. Kinnarps, you probably are never going to read this, but if you do, just to say I have finally downloaded your mix (once I had access to a fast connection). Can't help you with track 5 I am afraid - I haven't heard it before. I already had tracks 1,2,3,6 and 9. I particularly like the etnica track, and as a mix it works pretty nicely though there are some (minor) problems with the recording. thanks for uploading it.. bomble

    Lyrics !

    It's Winona Ryder from Alien Resurrection (which for some reason Talamasca sample heavily)... 'you're a thing...a construct they grew in a fucking lab' bomble
  7. Mindbender... nice one about the Cambridge tastes! The most popular music round here is wall-to-wall cheese in the worst kind of Steps / S-club7 / Blue variety. I think a lot of intelligent people like really simple (dare I say dreadful) music because it doesn't serve the same purpose. They even say it themselves : 'I only really like this stuff when I'm drunk'... and that's about it for me! There is no way I could like it unless I was absolutely pickled - and as I don't imbibe alcohol... it aint for me! When I say that pys is a mental workout, I am not implying that only intelligent people could like it. This is not the sort of intelligence that makes a good barrister or engineer necessarily. It is just that in exciting the brain into higher states, the mind works in new ways that I particularly love... and it seems the majority of the population either don't want or can't access them. bomble
  8. I posted this in the off-topic already, but as many of you have the sense not to venture into that quagmire, I thought I'd advertise here too: I am hoping to do a special radio show this Saturday (5pm GMT) on CUR1350 featuring unreleased tracks by Loza. If you listened to his entry for the competition you will know what to expect... if you haven't then go ahead and do so! He was planning to come in to the studio but has been asked to play at Pogo's party in Wales so it's probably just going to be me (and Mindbender ?) in the studio spinning his tracks with a selection of others. This will be the world premiere for most of the tracks... so don't miss out! turn on, tune in.... bomble's radio show
  9. That's what I have been saying for ages - and I get it without any external source of intoxication. Whenever people say 'how can you like this stuff ... it's just booom booom booom?' my response is something along the lines of 'the bass line and beats just speak directly to the body, opening channels for the mind to hear the intricacies in the high frequency range'. I am with you entirely on that one. I wouldn't go so far as to say that it created a blank canvas - but it does provide the shaded and textured material onto which the painting can be overlaid. bomble
  10. I don't think that a music form can be generalised to being superior to everyone, but I'm sure most of us would agree that it is superior to us otherwise we wouldn't be here discussing it. It depends what you want to get out of the music you listen to. Listening to psy is a mental workout - in the good stuff each return spin reveals new treasures. What is more, repetition in itself is enough to put a lot of people off. But if you remove the lyrics from their music, you are likely to find far less diversity in their music than even the most minimal techno track. In fact, repetition creates neural pathways that once passed are perceived differently each time. You only need to listen to a good piece of Steve Reich to start asking yourself 'did the music change or was it the way I heard it'. Psy as well as a lot of other music that I like leaves a good portion of the composition up to the listener. You bring to the listening experience your mood, frame of mind etc and take from it a convolution of what was there in the sounds and what was there in your head already. I generally find lyrics distracting, but most people want them. It is straight forward statistics to me that the music that is most popular is likely to be that which is least difficult to digest. If 10 million people 'enjoy' a pop album, 10 thousand can 'love' a psy album. We just choose to be on one tail of the bell curve, leaving the majority to sit near the middle. bomble
  11. For the right mood, it rips your head up (in a good way)... in the wrong mood it's too busy and lacking direction. Powerful stuff... better make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands... bomble
  12. Yup... I grew up on this too - an old vinyl my dad gave me when I was 3 I think... bomble
  13. This book won't tell you anything that you couldn't work out for yourself and it is aimed at a fairly gullible audience I think - but it wasn't entirely without merit. I wouldn't recommend it, but I haven't put the copy I was given in the bin or anything. Maybe if you had never taken an interest in psychology or spirituality in any form this might be a starting point, but I always got the strong feeling it was a cash-in on other much more profound ideas presented for people who wouldn't normally bother reading anything you couldn't buy at the airport. bomble
  14. I was looking for that too... perhaps I could send you something that you can't find over there in exchange? And if I am not mistaken, Chaosunlimited still have a few copies of True for a crazy crazy small price of £2 bomble
  15. GO GIRL! looking forward to the output... bomble
  16. There's a few of course - Sally Doolally, Miranda, Sonia (Manmademan) .... but my guess is that it's a lower percentage than in other music forms... bomble
  17. should also have mentioned Lisa Pinup: bomble
  18. I have some theories... and I don't want to sound sexist in any way, but I think the production of psy music is better suited to the male brain. Women are in general better at multitasking, verbal reasoning and emotional response - while men in general are more single-task focussed, better with technology and mechanisms and spatial/mathematical reasoning. Psy trance is of course emotional, but to make it requires a measure of technical skill and linear reasoning. Another possibility is that, as you say, music is already a male dominated profession. Women have broken into the dj scene here in England but mainly spinning d&b, house and uk garage. These are musically more 'sexy' and less cerebral than psy. Women have found it more rewarding and have been more successful working in an environment where they can capitalise on the importance of image: D&B dj/producer - DJ Rap: Hardhouse DJ: Lisa Loud: That is not to say that they are any less good as djs - Rap was one of my favourite djs on old jungle mixtapes before I even discovered she was a she. It just that psy isn't really about sexiness, and so maybe that's why fewer women are involved. Sorry about the gross generalisations - I am not trying to stereotype - but it's only sensible to realise that men and women are different, have different strengths and weaknesses and can't always compete equally at certain tasks. bomble
  19. Astral Projection did not invent the genre.... they were certainly pioneers, but don't give them all the credit. bomble
  20. The two Behind the Eye compilations were what guided me to trance in the first place.... bomble
  21. Yeah - I did talk to Ed Ozric Wynne about doing something with Simon and he was very keen. In fact they had played Shpongle as a warm up to their live set. That would be one of my dream collaborations. Also : Makyo & Adham Shaikh (Drift/Ekko interchill) Shpongle & Greg Hunter Huxflux & Vibrasphere damn... there are so many possibilities bomble
  22. I like the track a lot - but no way near as much as the original. I think it is a genuinely different interpretation, but not an absolutely essential one. Apparently Ott has done some remixes of Shpongle tracks that are atleast as good as the originals.... I shall try to get my hands on some... bomble
  23. bomble

    KiWA

    Have you heard the Kiwa chilled track on Elucidations... ummmm bomble
  24. Very nice stuff - I was intending to buy the album when I was in Canada, but I ended up getting something else... next time! bomble
