  1. I'm glad I'm not the only one with this. Just something magical about stumbling upon a sample. Well I always google the words I recognize. Looks like that one is from Animatrix. Psydb.net used to track samples used but I think the owner stopped updating it a long time ago. http://www.psydb.net/samples/
  2. It sounds so vintage it transports you back to 95 really well. The atmosphere is palpable. I really liked this one.
  3. I was expecting beards and wheelchairs!
  4. Everytime I watch a movie and hear a part that was sampled(especially if it's in a good track) it sends shivers down my spine and I always get this weird grin on my face and a fuzzy feeling. There's just something about this cross-media thing that I enjoy very much. It's almost like a sense of discovery. What do you guys think about encountering samples in movies or TV shows? And have any of you watched movies because of samples? I've done it a lot (First one was the infamous People Can Fly sample). Maybe not so much when it comes to boring or generally bad tracks, but if it's a good release and a good track that I've played a dozen times then the samples always intrigue me enough to at least look up the movie and if it seems interesting I'll watch it.
  5. Cruise is such an incredible track. Those subtle wall tearing acid segments push it above and beyond. Rest of the album is absolutely great too, although a couple tracks lose my attention faster than rest. Still to think this was my first introduction to Solar Fields and I haven't even commented on it is a little weird. I would like to hear more mid-uptempo Solar Fields in the future.
  6. I have many and find new ones all the time. Last one
  7. It's just like
  8. Sounds like he was extremely insecure.
  9. Well yes that adds to it.
  10. Training Day Great performances and solid dialogue. Predictable as hell though, I don't get the hype. Maybe other movies ripped it off so many times that there was nothing unique left?
  11. I really can't recommend any anti-depressants. Just a branch of synthetic drug to lure you in with it's promise and leave your wallet emptier for no concrete benefit other than an addiction and maybe an empty head.
  12. Armin became big during trance era, pushed it forwards(To somewhere at least) and what does he do now? House. Why? Because it's in. Pathetic. His opinions ain't worth shit. Ott and Sphongle are also like the easiest relatives to psy to chew through, really. Their music is very approachable by anyone, which is why they are so popular compared to many acts.
  13. Filteria - Sky Input Remixed EP Self-released Bandcamp 2013 1. Operation Pulse (Remix) 09:24 2. Stars (Warped Remix) 08:21 3. Navigate (Pitch Down The World Mix) 09:09 4. The Snuggling Snail (Live Remix) 09:02 5. Ultimator (Ultimated Remix) 10:07 6. Operation Pulse (Live Remix) 11:19 Well this one went under the radar a little bit. Over a year and no review thread? Welp. Operation Pulse (remix) & (Live Remix) Well the Operation Pulse remixes are a little more uneventful, some of it's parts have different arrangement and some different details. The Live Remix has the original climax with a new take on the melody itself which makes it a bit more exciting but generally I didn't really care for these two remixes. The original is such a masterpiece there's not much you can do with it honestly. Stars (Warped Remix) Stars Starstuffing in a black hole instead? If you felt the original wasn't crazy enough he literally warped the melodies sound like they're being eaten out from inside. It's a lot less light as this remix is filled with darker moments of bubbling acid or otherwisely unnerving atmosphere. It's mental, a worthy successor to the original, though now I'm interested in hearing a version of just Stars. Navigate (Pitch Down The World Remix) Well first off the mix on this sounds very muddy. I don't know if this is intentional or just age taking it's toll, but it sounds much less sharp than the rest of the mixes. It's basically navigate with pitch adjustments and generally slower tempo. There's also many interesting parts like a break at 4:44 where he's just messing about with a knob and some high pitched sounds. And then a part after 5:50 where it just sounds like the track is literally dying, very funny. It's an interesting take on the track, but it's also holding back on the remix part imo, it still generally feels like the original track whereas I would have prefer ed to see it completely broken down, especially the main melodies. The Snuggling Snail (live remix) This one reminds me of how Etnica remixed their tracks, albeit could use a tad more grooveyness. It really goes out on creating more madness on top of the existing framework. A great example is a part at 5:29 where the melodies are coupled with wicked pleiadians-esque synth. Same goes for the ending. Another interesting track. Ultimator (Ultimated Remix) This one was already released and I've heard people say it's the best Filteria track ever. It very well could be! Also maybe one of the most intense remixes ever too. It's spaced out, it's emotional, it's maximal, it's clever and has perfect production. If you took best bits of Heliopolis/Sky Input era and crammed it into one track this would be the result. Absolutely an epic grand voyage'. Generally it's what you'd expect from a bunch of remixes (remastered might I add). A new(er) take on an old track. So how does it hold up? For the most part, definitely! What else? It's only 6€ and all funds go directly to support the artist. Worth it. http://filteria.bandcamp.com/album/sky-input-remixed-ep On another note I would love to see this happen again! Maybe some other unreleased tracks (like that one compilation that had 2 tracks that were never released) and remixes from Filteria AND KOB? I'm sure there are more and I'm also sure there are people ready to eat it up.
  14. 3500~ give or take. I'm a hoarder... Brb calling the cops! You will not go unpunished!!!
  15. I've succesfully used tryptofan supplement or melatonin for sleeping. Both are natural medicine that your own body excretes, though the former took some days to start working and the latter should be careful with if you have signs of diabetes or heavy sugar intake. Also have you tried exercising? Weights / cardio?
  16. Mindprobe live at alternatiba is wicked good! Check it out guise.
  17. That sounds incredibly silly. Nobody record it?
  18. All I ever wanted and then some.
  19. I'd be pissed too if it was like that here but rather making me violent it would propably just depress me. June we had a measly 12,6 celsius average but at least July was really warm though the heat finally ended a few days ago and I already miss it. Fucking northern countries and their shitty coldness. I really wanna go live somewhere warm one day, although I must mention I don't mind winter and snow but last year we barely had a winter, it felt like we had autumn until it was spring again! What!
  20. We missed this thread for last year. Share your favourite other electronica albums from 2013-2014! I'll start with Tycho - Awake(2014). http://www.discogs.com/Tycho-Awake/master/665381 More so post-rock idm electro fusion but very enjoyable music.
