I'm a sucker for a simple, non-cheesy, effective melodic hook. The only other one of their tracks that comes close for me is "Texas Magnusson". Both of those tracks make me feel easy like a 5 dolla east-side crackwhore. "Darkness" takes the cake, though, since the melody is a bit more sinister and stringy. I was actually quite pissed that nobody played it at Voov 2004 (at least that I heard) when it was brand new and *should* have been waaaay overplayed. Although it's probably a damn good thing since I surely would have wet myself on the dancefloor, rather embarassingly. It takes a very special track to make me lose control of my excretory functions.

Nah, I'm referring to the "Bayo" vinyl that came out last year on ACDC. It's not so deep from what I remember, but was a cool tribal chanting sort of thing. Check it out - I'm sure there are samples somewhere. I guess it was one of those records that passed through my case in the span of about 2 months, so it must not have been too overly memorable. I personally dig the stressed tranciness of the Ticon remix. It's got that elegant dark little melodic hook that just knocks me on my ass every time I hear it. I love the way it just smoothly builds into this absolute monster of a track. It's one of the most explosive progressive tracks evargh, IMO. For me, it's the best thing Ticon ever produced, which is saying a lot since I'm a complete fiend for their music. I'm really surprised that it didn't get played out much more...come to think of it, I think the only times I've ever heard it in a party is when I play it. I will have to give the original mix a closer listen, though. I'm much more into deeper sounding music than when I first bought the record 2+ years ago, so it will probably be more my style now. BTW, the guy behind the Chris Pointdexter project also produces under the name "Playmaker". I think that sound is more house-oriented, based on what I've read in biographies, but I haven't heard for myself. Might be worth checking out.

I'm familiar with Chris Pointdexter and have another of his records (on ACDC Rec.), but I don't have anything useful to add....other than that I like the Ticon Remix better.

Uh oh....do I sense a repeat of Voov 2006 dancefloor tomfoolery?

OK, consider me officially tempted. Actually, more than just tempted. Unless some major financial disaster or an unavoidable trip at the same time comes up, I'll be there. I'm not usually a fan of so many live sets, but when it's Eat Static, Koxbox, Ott (I guess he's doing both the Ott set and the Hallucinogen in Dub set?), I can't complain too much.

It's sad because you are right! I. Want. Irritant. But I can't find it for the life of me. I just type what the voices in my head tell me to type. They are the wise ones. I am simply a monkey in front of a keyboard...a monkey with exceptionally good taste in music, just like reger.

Simon is just more popular because he makes commercial music that sounds like Brittney Spears or MC Hammer. Arne Schaffhausen is the real underground. (waiting for posford fanboys to launch a nuke at eastern Germany ) I've really developed a huge appreciation for the genius of Midi Miliz in the last couple weeks. I pulled out all of my old and new tektrance CDs (both Midi Miliz, the first Delta, latest X-Dream, Triac, Opsis) and have been listening constantly. My flatmate has even been infected and yesterday declared Midi Miliz as geniuses. I just wish I could find my copy of the Spirallianz album...I'm afraid it is sitting in a box in Dallas right now.

Holy shit, he just did that to me! Well, he didn't insult my mom, but he wrote me a desperately-trying-to-be-insulting private message (which was quite funny in broken German), but has me on his blocked list so I couldn't respond. Fucking. Stellar. It's sort of like the tiny puppy that sits in the 2nd floor window, barking threateningly at everybody as they walk by. It's ferocious as long as it's safely out of everbody's reach. This guy needs a fan club.

fantastic idea! Maybe faze could give a double-chance for one of the free CDs in his Christmas CD giveaway topic to every member who is on Rezi6404's banlist? :lol:

Damn! I've been bested! OK Mr. pr0fane....you may have won this round, but I'll beat you. One of these days, I'll beat you.

YES! Thank you, thank you very much. I feel honored! :lol: 3 posts to get on the famous ignore list....that's gotta be some kind of a new record?! B) (PS - Hi "Guest"!!)

Yes. I wonder how many more users it will have to be before it falls outside of the signature length limit? Oh, I understand completely - and it's still fuggin' hilarious. Unintentional irony is usually the best kind of humor.

LOL. I had the exact same thought. Has radi started giving online engrish lessons?

Let me lay it out simply for you. The irony of the fact that you make extra effort to read and reply to the posts of those members you have in your ignore list is hilarious. What is the point in having them in your ignore list (and mentioning it all of the time) if you aren't really ignoring them?

:lol: What the hell is the point of the ignore list if you are not only going to log in as guest to read their posts anyways, but are even going to quote and reply to them? Not only is it not ignoring them at all, but you are even forcing yourself to do more work to actually read and reply to them. Astounding logic, simply astounding. Is it your playful way of flirting with the members that you have a crush on or something? I think it's going to be a little harder than that to get pr0fane in the sack.

For harder psytrance, Gappeq is pretty cool. I really enjoyed his "Tower of Babel" track - one of my favorite opening/change of pace tracks when I'm playing psytrance. I'd definitely be interested to hear a full album from the guy.

Same here. I've been looking for an excuse to visit the island, so I might have to check this out if there is some sort of killargh after-party.

"AntiFluoro" - great fucking album title. I like it already.

Wow, I guess they must be going out of business or something. I've ordered from them a few times with no problem whatsoever.

Well, it seems that Twisted must have taught them a thing or two about constantly pushing back release dates.

Who the hell is releasing this album....Twisted?

Heh, you aren't too far off. Just look at the track credits on most of the early Dragonfly or TIP compilations. produced by Simon Posford

My feelings of nostalgia come mostly from the feeling of excitement and newness that the music gave me when I was first hearing it, rather than a particular style/sound. When I hear something like Total Eclipse - Waiting For a New Life, I don't think "Hey, this is an awesome track!" so much as I flash back to the first times I heard the track on a random copied tape a friend of mine had (one of the two times in my life when I can literally pinpoint a major mental shift), and the first time I finally ran across the a CD in the store that had the track, after months of searching. I don't "miss" the sound, because I still have all of the CDs in my collection and can pull them out anytime I want. I do look back fondly on the time of my life when I was first discovering old-skool goa, so I get those nostalgic feelings from that whole experience, rather than a particular sound. But I guess my first exposure was to more melodic sounds (I don't think there was very much twisted stuff out there yet in '95/96?), so the short answer to your question would have to be melodic style.
