  1. Finally a decent price on discogs. Let's just hope the quality is as advertised.
  2. If you enjoy self-mutilation, then go for it!
  3. I edited the title and merged threads. I assume he made a new one to clear confusion about what he was exactly selling, as in not a cd.
  4. That was horrible... GET IT AWAY FROM ME
  5. No no, I was just adding that for sure not all are cheesy, just 90% of them are.
  6. Also SUN Project had some good guitar traXXX on Macrophage, however 90% of the rest was pretty bad.
  7. I would like to write something lengthier for Juno Reactor. They really deserve a fresh look from the goa scene. Past albums have strayed very far with the genre, although still very good, but the new one honestly redeems everything people have had an issue with since labyrinth. It's a lot like BibleXShango and I think Final Frontier is one of the coolest throwbacks ever, very hammy and cheesy but it works because it is self-aware.
  8. I am ashamed I never did write a review for this. Since 2011 things have changed and I don't find the mastering as dreadful as I might have before, it ain't great but it doesn't completely break the album. Some tracks have it worse than others(which might have clouded this train of thought even more so) of course, but generally I find it passable now from start to end, however, the musical quality has grown even stronger for me. It is simply put some of the most intelligent work I've heard. Ever-changing beautifully constructed colossal space operas. The incredible attention to detail in such a strong drum n bass environment makes me realize how easily most DnB gets away with doing barely anything. And this just goes to show, it is literally taking the best parts of several genres and meshing it together into a dark cyberpunk scifi epic. You have catchy, trippy and sometimes emotional melodies and details from psy, fast paced groundwork of DnB and strongest atmospheres from industrial. It will become an issue as if it's not 100% of something, and it's already aiming in the middle of the most underground one's, scenes tend to ignore them as they aren't fully representative. Regardless, this album is a masterpiece in it's own right - It's just very unfortunate it will remain out of the spotlight in just about any scene it might fit in, just because of it's obscurity in what it does. I do wonder if there is a proper scene for this stuff? Well I'm just glad I can fully appreciate what it offers, as I never had problems with giving these particular genres an open mind. There's just one last huge pet peeve I have... why can't I buy this on CD? I managed to snag The Scythe Of Orion from Ektoplazm but this one was never available. I don't often find myself crying for physical releases but Cybernetika is one of those artists who should grace your collection with it's might. I can't say much else than it's a shame Cybernetika has kind of... disappeared? We had every year since 2007 an album stronger than the last one and it really did peak with this one, but then it just stopped.. Burnout? I hope not! There have been some individual tracks with long time-spans between but that's about it. ( check https://soundcloud.com/zg-n-zalay/cybernetika-mellow-sonic ) Hopefully someday he will come back to surprise us once more, regardless of genre.
  9. Fucking what! The track is alright for cheesy fullon(Good production), but that vocal thrown there, are you serious!?? It ruined everything. WHY DO THEY DO THAT? BEHOLD CHEESUS IS HERE
  10. Didn't really specify what type of anime? Well.. there's one that pops to my mind before anything else. Attack On Titan. If you don't enjoy the most emotionally (and graphically) violent things then don't watch it! It will leave you disgusted and depressed, on many occassions(First episode is the worst..), however putting those things aside, it is one of the most incredible animes ever released. It seems silly at first, but the way it pulls you in is like no other, you start craving for answers and the fragility of the extremely good characters creates some of the most intense scenes ever. The music and art are also top tier, hell, I'd say they're the best I've seen an anime series deliver yet(arguably). The quality of it is sky high from start to finish, I still get chills just thinking about those action scenes. + it has the creepiest... oh my fucking god what is wrong with your eyes!?
  11. Yeah no need to start arguing, I'd suggest if you don't have patience then better to contact Anjuna and/or get a refund and ordering it from somewhere else. I find this situation a bit bizarre as my last oder came so promptly but alas shit happens. I do think post offices around the world tend to suck more and more anyway these days, no matter if holiday or not..
  12. Where do I check the tracking code? This is taking a while...
  13. No lyrics? You should sing a couple of these. Thanks for the present Nhjo and happy christmas to you as well! Do you happen to have Christmas songs from past years anymore?
  14. Not in a thread like this. Make a thread here if you want to sell them. http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php/forum/13-for-sale-trade/
  15. Good to see you back.
  16. D5's and Filteria, you won't be disappointed.
  17. I loved this album, however I haven't done reviews for a good while so I didn't make an exception to this. Unfortunate as this album deserved one.
  18. I laughed when I read that. Electronic music requires vague or ironic melodies. Man that's gold.
  19. Yeah I still haven't found it. Thanks, hope he remembers. And yeah it's the one @ 4:20
  20. Top 5? Are you insayan? I excluded multiple tracks from same artist for the sake of variance, I also tried to look for several styles, it's really hard to put so many great tracks in such short list when they all offer different things, and weighting them all the same is simply apples to oranges. New school has a lot of average stuff, but there are a considerable amount of classics, just like in old school. It's interesting to note it's easier to forget the average stuff of old school. I want to put so many more here but I'll just stick to the five, even if I don't want to. I also know I forgot something during thinking of this and the list is subject to change at any point in time, though generally these are the upmost best new goa has offered thus far - along with many more. Filteria - Operation Pulse, technically it may not be the best of filteria, but there are many, many reasons it's here. The most perfect intro since Maia on IFO? Why, yes. It is the representation of what Filteria is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBmkQiBKfBk M-Run - Goat Man, speaking of technicalities Merr0w - Pixelized Sight, edge of space is the limit of merr0ws potential. Citrus Circus may as well be here, but this track came first and I heavily feel like it was never appreciated the way it should have been, the power is very much alike, but many years earlier and with more interesting sounds - I also am a sucker for this type of rattling acid sound. I disliked the half-remix found on the Born Underwater album, because it didn't need one! Sky Technology - Reactor of life, the climax melody is beyond comprehension and the smooth sound ices the cake. Technically it can fall short compared to many others, but it makes up for everything with the passion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgeGEl7er-U Goasia - Dancing With The Blue Spirit, this track in particular accentuates the masterful lovely organic goa sound with trance-like melodies perfectly. I literally feel the love the track was made with. Edit: Man I hate this, I specifically added the music as links, but upon editing it decided to give me the middle finger... I like your style
  21. Mugen remix is fantastic, they really enhanced the atmosphere and remade it properly for 2013 standards. No full-on bassline! What has the world come to?
  22. The production is great (PharaOM keeps getting better!!!) and reminds me of mindsphere/Lost buddha! I just think the extra long outros are something I haven't gotten used to, the tracks fade out so slowly compared to most goa and it's bugging me a lot even though the content is fantastic.
