  1. Here's the low down: I'm doing a mix for my a party at my church to introduce people to Goa Trance. The problem is they won't like all these references to Buddhas, drugs, etc. So I'm looking for tracks with good Christian samples.

     

    So far I have:

    Astral Projection - Let There Be Light ("in the beginning God created...") (good opener!)

     

    M.A.N. - The Seeker ("God seeks the seeker and the seeker seeks God")

     

    ...

     

    Yea that's all I can think of right now, which is why I'm asking yall for help.

     

    PS - Don't bother suggesting Mystica - Ashes To Ashes, that isn't a real Bible verse it's from Pulp Fiction. <_<

  2. Yah that's why I question anyone giving an album a perfect score - people seem to throw 5/5 and 10/10 around like it's nothing, and so a mark that high loses its significance...

    I think I've rated maybe 20 albums 5/5 on discogs and this is one of them. IMO the only goa album that's near perfect is the debut of Dimension 5, but I'd need a scale of at least 1-10 to really start distinguishing this.

     

    Also this is much better than the first 3 Transwave albums IMO. I think they will only get 4/5 from me though not decided yet.

  3. IMO it was Pete Martin (aka Slide) who made that UX project special. Just compare Unstable with Brain Filter! Even though the latter is not bad, all the hooks and tricks that made UX music exceptional seem to be coming from Pete, rather than Kris. Kris seemed to be rather responsible for rhythmics and ambiences (which were cool, I have to admit), but UX to me was so much more than just that - I loved their melodical crazyness, off-the-wall transitions and unexpected arrangement ideas.

    I much prefer Brain Filter to Unstable. Granted the melodies were coming more from Slide, but I think Ultimate Experience was not about the melodies, they were just the icing on top so to speak, but definitely not the most remarkable part, definitely not what set the album apart for greatness imo. Syb Unity Nettwerk (Kylven) produced some good more typical goa stuff too. Odds was a little bland. But not much from Slide really sticks out to me, it's just mediocre standard goa.

     

    Anyways I agree that this is likely to be crappy.

  4. I would buy this for Arsonik and Code S9 alone. Both stellar work from 1996.

     

    The other best ones are Adoration To The Aum, Hypersphere and Cycles Of Life.

     

    I find Bombay Night and Flamincogyre a little lacking. 5/5 for sure though.

  5. Yeah a rating from 1 to 5 is really going to give you an impression of something. And I guess you don't listen to anything thats below rating 4? :rolleyes:

    :rolleyes: Usually if I'm thinking of listening to something I check ratings by a few people on discogs. Anoebis usually has similar ratings to me except sometimes he rates things 1/5 that are very good, but combining his rate with some others I get a good idea if it's good music or not. Sorry if you don't know how to use internet ratings and think they are just there to waste space.

     

    What I'm saying is you will probably miss out on some music that you could actually like.

    Who cares? I already have hundreds of CDs I do like. I can't listen to every single CD just to make sure I don't miss out on something I might have liked. :rolleyes: Nor am I in dire need of another CD I like.
  6. You only listen to the best releases in general I imagine? :rolleyes:

     

     

    Now while not all music I listen to I'd rate at 5/5 if I was going to release my own music (and expect people to pay for it) then you can be damn sure I'd make sure it was all 5/5 in my ear. If I thought my own commercially released music was not as good as it could possibly be then I'd take the time to make sure it was 5/5 before I let it out in public.

     

    An artist that doesn't think what they have made is great shouldn't release it. Can you imagine the spiel?

     

    Well I think this is a bit shit, but you might like it! Go on please give me your money!!

     

    Nah, if an artist doesn't rate his own music why should I bother with it. Even stuff I find crap, I hope the artist loves.

    Did you read my muffin analogy post? Maybe the artists' friends like it though he doesn't, so he decides to release it. Maybe he just doesn't know how to do any better, so he releases his best try. Etc. I'm sorry but you're incredibly naive if you think people only release something because they think it's 5/5.
  7. btw... talking bout quality.. what rating would one give to a track, pure genious, but terribly mastered ?

    This depends on one's subjective rating criteria. You could not care about mastering, you could care somewhat about it, or you could only care about it. (gradient)
  8. one post on the level of an 8-year old is more than enough. :lol:

    I think you should leave this thread; even if I posted at the level of a 6 year old you wouldn't get it. You're probably just a fucking internet troll anyways, nobody can really be this stupid. :not_amused:
  9. home made muffins are always better, nutritionally speaking..

    Not true. Homemade muffins may even result in you going to the hospital in intensive care for a few weeks depending on what you put in them. Also the muffins are not really homemade as they are going to be mass produced in a factory anyways after the recipe is released.
  10. what an open mind you have, fantastic how you deem your personal unfounded subjective opinion superior to an 'objective' reality. too much buddha-scriptures will do that to you.

    Quality post! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Try making the slightest bit of sense next time rather than just combining a couple of my phrases in a sentence and flooding this thread with utter crap.
  11. Jesus! Optimystique is insanely good! Thanks to this thread, I downloaded it, and now I must start hunting for a copy!

    This forum does not support downloading music illegally.
