Penzoline

Shit man hopefully that thing clears out I read about those breathing machines yesterday that some people have to use and everything about them sounds horrifying.

They died when the board updated.

I missed this earlier. It's now changed to 800x250, 4 URLS and 15 lines.

It's always been the review section, definitely, however people these days don't really care to make more. Yes it was, unfortunately it made the place miserable for a lot of users. The problem with facebook and psynews is that those groups are much more specific and already have a following. We'd be trying to squeeze ourselves into a space that's already taken. However facebook is a good platform to promote the forum, the problem is we need people who are willing to spend the time to update the page, which we really don't have right now. This would require printing flyers and spreading them out all over the world, this is logistically very hard. This would work better if psynews as a platform was like what goabase etc. are, which is having a dedicated proper party calendar. I think it would get a lot more people looking and participating at the site, but we'd have to do huge overhauls and hire someone to do coding and information gathering for that. I don't really know how goabase gets all their information on parties. Maybe promoters submit it themselves? I agree there is a lot of people and potential. Psytrance festivals are huge. Psynews is considered very neutral, affiliating ourselves with a commercial platform is not really feasible in my eyes. Mars gave psynews to the current administration years ago. I actually don't know why the platform wasn't merged with the label. I guess because the forum is dedicated to psytrance as a whole. For example the suntrip FB community naturally grows because the label releases goatrance people want and consume. There's a natural growing following. psynews doesn't actually release anything, our content is made by the members, if we don't have members creating content, we don't have much to give and get excited about. It's kind of a catch-22. Again with some ideas to make participating more exciting, interesting and/or rewarding this course could be corrected better.

A couple filler tracks (and already released ones) but most of this album is really good. Can't really fault it for not doing it's own thing. Personal Matrix, Wormhole and Mutant Zone are a lot of fun.

The single collection Mittelstandskinder Ohne Strom is so gooood.

They were assigned some years ago to some members for their contributions to the forum or the fact they were here from the very beginning. Tbh I'm up for anything that might help psynews activity. Now that I have very little else to do.

Unfortunately, I agree. I understand now why anjuna didn't release this one. The title track "Pure energy" definitely deserved to be released, but the new mixes are abundant and simple. I much rather have Project Genesis remastered than to hear these stripped down versions of classics. I do appreciate Maya Moon and Inspiration getting remastering, but eh, those already sounded good. I don't want to sound too negative, but honestly, some of these tracks just let down. I guess from a historical standpoint it's a nice and for the fans, but as a whole, it just doesn't cut it. Maybe in due time I can appreciate it more, but I guess I was expecting something more full-blown, like brand new tracks. Pure Energy is really, really sweet though. One of their more interesting tracks with quirky segments and fantastic flow. Wonder why it was never released.

This album is comparable to Sky Input with its swirly and epic in-your-face melodies that bend the cosmic space. Hell, even some of the melody work is almost exactly like what you'd find in the afromentioned release with their bright forceful cosmic synths. The difference is that it's atmosphere reeks of malevolence and the composition is much more mischevious. Absolutely a king release of 2018 and one of my all time favourites of the new age of goa.

I understand the concept, I like the art, I just don't really know if I like it musically that much. Right off the bat Technosonic and Oxigenated Seal are nice tracks somewhat akin to Technossomy but the rest flail around and can get cheesy. I don't know. Needs time.

I love it. Perfect alien soundscapes to lose yourself into.

Monstercat??? Since when that has had anything to do with psy.

They've been cancelling most events here. My birthday is on the 31st and on the 4th there was supposed to be a psy party I was going to attend with close friends. Guess I'll cancel my own birthday lol. Over here people barely reacted to this spread until goverment stepped in and even then you could see tens of people attending bars even on weekdays. Nobody taking it seriously until the infected count started to rise. Shits weird though. Never had anything like this before. Remember ebola? Thing was on news everywhere and that only killed 11 000. Crazy times we live in.

Yeah I'm a bit surprised as well.

Wormhole is one of the grooviest tracks suntrip has released. It's superb.

I miss everyone!

Hmm - while great tracks most of them, I miss the definition of the first album here. Born Underwater was far more story-telling and coherent. On the flipside Lunar Tides is a fantastic continuation of the first albums sound and Odysseus and Fractal Octopus are both great mwnn style early 2000 tracks.

This sounds reaaallly good.

This album has a great drive.

Sorry, holidays.

This thing sounds really good!

Whole comp is almost legendary quality. It's a travesty the tracks are butchered like that. I'd pay for it again for remaster. Anyone got the source files?

Absolutely fantastic.

Where did all of those tracks come from?

Sounds like a great duo for a set, thanks for sharing.
