  1. Strong, strong, STRONG list(Filteria, Merrow, travma, Liquid Flow, Goalien and Agneton? Wow.), but honestly, what is up with the cover. It's pretty bad.
  2. Juno Reactor - Labyrinth 01. Conquistador 1 (6:02) 02. Conquistador 2 (5:06) 03. Giant (4:00) 04. War Dogs (5:00) 05. Mona Lisa Overdrive (4:45) 06. Zwara (6:35) 07. Mutant Message (6:10) 08. Angels And Men (7:07) 09. Navras (9:06) The review. The Story. Back when matrix: reloaded came to the theaters and I went to see it, when it got to the highway scene and Mona Lisa Overdrive came on, I was stunned - what was this tickling feeling of sensation? At the time, I didn't realize(I was 13) that this sort of music was more bloated, than just in that section of that movie and it just basically fell off the radar for a long time. The only time I had previously even heard of something that gave me same sensation was a year before in xXx, Orbital - Technologicque Park so that also had fallen off of my tiny radar. Not to mention I don't think I even used the internet actively at the time, so there was no way of my finding similar music just like that. September 2007, I watched Matrix Reloaded again, highway scene was on and I remembered I was supposed to search for the artist's other work a long time ago and finally, I closed down my DVD player on my computer, opened firefox and searched for it. Didn't take me long to get a hold of Labyrinth and taking a listen. Conquistador Part 1 I didn't know what to expect, while I was listening I found it quite striking. Orchestral, tribal, mexican soundscapes coupled together. I never listened to that sort of stuff and it was well made, very enjoyable. Loved how it progressed slowly towards the opening of.. Conquistador Part 2 Shock and awe. What is this? This amazing, completely different to what I had listened before. It was fast, tribalish, orchestral and, what made it all work, electronic. This is what I love - this is what I want. That was back then, my eyes were completely opened. Still to this day I like it a lot. The orchestral mix with the goatrancey-tribal sound just plain works. And the acid that drops after every kick is just awesome. Giant Wow! Giant indeed. Somewhat followed in Conquistador part 2's footsteps, but goes for more an epic road with the huge sounds (Like jikkenteki mentioned, Dirty DnB) it has. It's not as good as anything else on this album, though, mostly because of the repetitiousness and I'm not too keen on the woman shouting. Luckily it only manages to reach the 4 minute mark, so it's definitely not too long for it's own good, albeit still not exactly good, but not bad. Filler. War Dogs More huge epic sounds, I like! I love it how it starts out so strong and leads up to a mix of Conquistador Part 1, Part 2 and Giant. Another extremely well made epic track. Mona Lisa Overdrive v2 Finally, the true version of this, and I love it. This is the thing I fell in love with, this is the thing I love. Badass fast moving goatrance with a story-telling aspect. Awesome. Now then, something I did not expect, at all.. Zwara Holy fucking shit, how could it get better than MLOv2? Goosebumps everywhere. I really don't need to say more. It's the pinnacle of what War Dogs, Giant and Mona Lisa Overdrive v2 had been doing. Mutant Message This is a track that I did not like back then, it was slow and boring. After listening a lot of other stuff, being more open and going back to it, I must say I like this very much. The production quality exceeds all of the previous tracks. The track is a fascinating journey through some mysterious location in an alien planet. I must mention that the piano work here really adds to the whole thing. Also, the lead-up to... Angels and men is extremely well made. It was like an epic scene which lead to a shocking revelation. It's the second slower track on Labyrinth and the most moodiest track yet - Tribal drums, coupled with hints of electronic effects in the background and very fitting singing with orchestral composition. Amazing ending for an epic tale... ...or not - Navras Initial reaction, E p i c. This is the ending song for Matrix: Revolutions and I remember I stayed in the theater, while the credits rolled, so I could hear the whole thing. This is the perfect combination of epic orchestral with extreme ethnic influences music and still sticking to Goa-trance at times. Needless to say one of the only one's at that. The production quality is up there in the clouds. Wonderful is all I can say. Labyrinth was my first ride in the far borders of Goa-trance. Epic orchestral coupled with electronic music. An awesome album. It's more appealing to a larger crowd (Some could just say 'commercial', but I don't feel that way)yet still managing to have roots in the genre that is not that easy to get into. Though, I must admit, this is not something that could be listened just like that, you need to be in the mood to harness it's full greatness. But even if you aren't in the mood and first time listening, it doesn't really matter. Soon after I had done listening this, I needed more. I didn't know where to start looking, and as my friend had told me earlier of Last.fm's software where you put an artist's name and it would give similar results to it, I decided to go that way(The results were like mostly Infected Mushroom, Astrix, 1200 micrograms and other full-on.). And of course that eventually led me to listening Filteria - Sky Input at some point and getting completely hooked. That's when I knew there wasn't going back. This is what I love. Things like these bring people in the scene and even if you don't like it, you should at least be grateful that it has the ability to do that. So thank you, Juno Reactor, for showing me the road. Thank you.
  3. A long time has passed since I first heard this and I still really like it. This is the oh-so-obvious and basic full-on that I really like. Takes it all very safe, doesn't do new things, but the things that it does, it does very well, mostly. Very crystal clear sounds and nice melodies(some of them could be cheese to someone, but I personally don't find them very cheesy.) I also like the spacey theme it's going for, this way it's not just plain full-on, per-se. Some gripes about some sample use though, as it feels somewhat forced in a few songs, but overall it's not bad and at times actually really good, like you hear in Icarus One. And about that Icarus One, it's one of my favourite full-on tracks. Atmosphere, samples and melodies, it has them and they're really good. Favourites 1, 4, 5, 6, 8!
  4. Hahhahahahah I recognize that yellow 3d render that was shared a long time ago here's a better picture of it http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs18/f/2007/160...by_wolfbeo3.jpg I think it's pretty lame the way it's just put there. Not to mention I doubt the thing was shared for free so it could be used in commercial artwork. lulz. These 2 are damn nice!
  5. They had their reasoning and explained themselves already. So stop complaining. http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?s=...st&p=929838
  6. Heey, I heard it as well whilst playing online. You can find the mp3 by searching with google, if you're interested
  7. What the hell are people thinking when they choose/make these covers..? This is mind-boggling. Jesus christ. Talk about cheese...
  8. Wow, if he has evolved to the direction I hope he has. It will be freaking epic.
  9. This album is damn awesome. I didn't first realize this when I downloaded it(although I did comment that in the stream was great, I think), but I somehow put a track of his on my mp3, moksha, and when I was just listening to it while walking, I started to wonder what is this? It's amazing! 303 goodness! I'm honestly surprised this wasn't sold. It's extremely high quality stuff! If you haven't already, go download it! It's completely worth it. Don't forget to comment as well.
  10. Anyone know? It's so funkeh
  11. Omegahertz - The Desert Moon Yes! Awesome! So much better from the previous inputs from Omegahertz! :posford:
  12. Velvet Acid Christ - Cyber Communists Plotting Red (1994) This is odd.
  13. Oh my god that is freaking awesome!
  14. Meh. I liked Sonic Ecstasy(Best track here), Conscious, Holografic and Silence In Action, but the rest are just too cheesy and/or incredibly generic and boring. Oh yeah, the prayer remix is garbage. The original is a good track imo, but the remix just rapes it. Agreed.
  15. The best part were the last 3 seconds, LOST as black and background as white. Holy shit.
  16. 2007? Jesus christ, I'd threaten them with a lawsuit already.
  17. Going back to this with my new headphones, I forgot how damn moody this album is. It's not on par with IFO and how that one makes me feel like I'm not even listening to music, but it's damn close. Cerealogy always takes me back to the crop circle area nighttime which was caused by the pleiadian landing on earth. Pentagon makes me see scientists enter the mysterious Pleiadian spaceship, hearing all the strange noises that are coming from the ship and while they're at it, discovering something that shouldn't have been discovered. Sounds dumb but I always get these images in my head when I listen to it. I dont get how this was supposed to be a major release but even the psynews review topic is so small..
  18. Chemical Products - Serbia Guys, this is awesome.
  19. After hearing ''sunrise zone'', I am pumped for this!
  20. The artwork is really attracting, good job on it!
  21. I can't understand this guy... either he is doing all of this for lulz or he's just...
  22. I'd say that really depends on the hardware.
  23. I was actually kind of expecting this. Great news But what about that SUNCD13, hmm?
