What the hell were they thinking?Price:
$US 13.95
A 4 track CD for the price of a full album?
They deserve to get a kick in the ass ... a CD with 4 tracks on it is classified as MCD! As MCD, you fucks! And an MCD is priced a little above a single, normally. Well, normally ... this is IM and they have become one of the biggest commercial and sellout artists in our psy world, so I better should leave out this word "normally", because this is the exception anyway.
I wonder who's going to buy that crap.

(note: my top tens can change as fast as the tides ... I like so many tracks it's nearly impossible to pick out the ten best ones, it always depends on the mood ... sometimes you can only find metal in that list, seriously)
So...
For tension:
1. S-Range - Welcome To Paradise
2. Etnoscope - Fast Licking
3. Etic - Last Tune
4. Quantum State - Natural Born Idiots
5. Mittelstandskinder Ohne Strom - Fire
For relaxation:
1. Makyo - Vismaya
2. Banco De Gaia - Obsidian
3. Matenda - No Return
4. Carbon Based Lifeforms - Or Plan B
5. Entheogenic - Aranyanyara

Hmmm...
I am not so much into dark ambient right now (winter is not here yet), but the stuff is too little spheric for me, it's just sounds dark in a way to me, you know ... and that's not enough, I'm not a fan of that, I'd probably sleep off, I like dark ambient music better that's not so minimal, one that can transport you, this one can't do it with me ... a little maybe, but not totally...
-
Oh my goth!
I just reallized I forgot to list a wonderfully marvellous tune, one that hits the spot as precise as Benares or King Size Rizzla:
Jean Michel Jarre - C'est La Vie
This one is amazing
More like that PLEASE!
And ... oh damn! I just realized Natacha Atlas sings those vocals! Damn damn damn, please, isn't there another song like that, Natacha herself has beautiful voice, but her own songs are too calm, this stuff has much more power and that's exactly what I'm looking for!
-
The tracklist looked very promising, I downloaded it and am listening to it right now!
Really good stuff I must say ... it was exactly what I wanted right now, no psy madness but a bit of nice progressive with much stuff that I didn't have heard before ... I like it very much
-
Me tooI must be the happiest man on Planet Earth, having not heard any of those =)
And I hope I'll never listen to any in the future.
I fear the next party
-
With this line I agree (not with the second one though).I can't think of any. Really. That's part of why I like electronic and psytrance in particular.
I also can't think of any real psychedelic pessimistic/depressive tracks ... and that's a good thing, because I listen to this music when I want to feel good and not bad. I mean, maybe you might want to try Noma - Another Time ... you could like that, but I don't think it's pessimistic as you want it, it's more like beautifully melancholic
I could name more really pessimistic songs, but they're other genres...
-
I don't know if Muskaria is closed or not ... and I have not been there as I have been to Barcelona, but the adress should be: Calle Arai 9, 08002 Barcelona
(oops, Mars, I see you even have that in the "Goa Shops"-section on your site, so maybe that's not of much help
) -
haha, yeah, you were the guy that was calling it a masterpieceWhen I first listened it I thought it was a good track but when listened under the right circumstances (night while relaxing) I realised that this is the MOST TRIPPY ambient track ever and is now in my top-5 ambient tracks!!!
A masterpiece!!!
But indeed, it is a masterpiece when the atmosphere is right.
In fact it's not the first time I had an experience like that (meaning that my playlist was playing through and that I discover a piece of music which is totally marvellous but never was that special under other circumstances) ... but they occur pretty rarely with me and it's always great for me when I make such a discovery
-
Okay, so let me tell you ... there is this tune by Optic Eye called "Anacoluthon" ... there were people saying it's really good and stuff ... well, I'm always interested in Ambient and I got myself the tune, but I didn't find it very good to be honest.
But now, it's already a quarter past one in the night, I'm fucking tired and should sleep for I have studies tomorrow, now that my eyes begin to develop rings underneath them and my mind is numb and the lemongrass incense is tiring my thoughts ... now this tune is GENIOUS!
Man ... what a metamorphosis.
I got it now. Ambient, true ambient ... that's music for such moments ... drifting mind ... wonderful
-
oooh nooo
see, we got without the cinema ... but we got into the stores

No, Raytalin ... I don't think the black metal Aes Dana has anything to do with the psy-ambient one
The ambient Aes Dana everybody knows here is acually Vincent Villius.
The black metal Aes Dana are six other people ... look here: http://aesdana.free.fr/english_frame.html
But I find it really cool that there is a black metal Aes Dana ... didn't know that until you said it ... lol, I want a shirt ... an Aes Dana shirt ... LOL, that would be cool

Oh yeeeah, thank you very much ... to get such information was actually the purpose of me creating this thread
Thanks, thanks!
You know, I'm waiting since a very long time already for this album ... and there was no better information than the one on the original site - and the one there is incorrect, because on the site it still says "A single will be released prior to the 3rd S>Range album "Another Theory". Release date 5th September." ... I was pissed that nowhere there was any better information found - I already speculated about label problems and such, because until now every information about the new album proved wrong, there was a time where it was said it should be released still 2004!
Maybe you could tell Ross that they should give out better information ... I don't care if albums are delayed or anything, I just don't like it when there's no information about anything - some statement like "hey, it will be delayed until XYZ due to whatever, but we're still working on it" would be nice...
-
Could you please elaborate?
What means "very soon"?
And what is that thing about the single ... when you're reviewing it, does that mean it is out? Where? When?
Well ... I found Space better than 2001 ... 2001 still had some flaws in it (Complete Delete, DOS, Maser ... really found them not special), on Space every track is perfect
Anyway, I don't think the sample sounds bad at all. The beginning sounds not that good, but then it gets pretty cool
I'm of the opinion that his new sound has more crazy-energy ... it sounds much more on the mad and happy side, the "magic" is gone in a way, it can't send any more shivers down my spine ... but it makes me smile - and that's good after all
-
yes, I know ... amazing track - although the voice in King Size Rizzla is worlds better, dunno how they've done it because I think it's the same woman that sings them
Towelie's post was so short I didn't even register it ... oopsie ... thanks sherlock for pointing that out again
Judging from samples Angel Tears seems to be more chill stuff ... a bitty bit in the same vein of Makyo maybe ... nice
-
Hey ... never had much to do with you, but I wish you good luck and peace, whatever path you take!
Congratulations on becoming father too
Bye, dude.
Hope you drop in every now and then

Mmmh ... it doesn't sound arabic to me ... a tiny little bit maybe, okay.
But I don't know ... I don't find the combination with the voice so good, I mean, the voice belongs there, that is right, but ... you know, it's like the voice would be a synth, integrated into the track and the music, it does not stand out you know ... it's somehow a same usage of the voice as in Talpa - The Moon only that the voice sounds much softer, sings no text and has no peaks and the music is different...
WTF, 10 Euro for the Star Sounds Orchestra ... at SATURN?!Saturn is one of the most expensive and commercial stores when it comes to that music...
Maybe they plan to take the stuff out of the shelves as it doesn't sell, that would be the only reason I can think of to give it away so cheap
Must look there...

For me true goa spirit can be found in:
Hallucinogen - Shamanix
Saiko Pod - Tron
RA - Astral Flight
Dimension 5 - Transformation
Banco De Gaia - Kincajou (Wild Monkey Fever Remix)
Man With No Name - Osmosis
Prana - Rainbow Spirit
Feuerhake - La Aurora (Sweat Attack Remix)
Might not be the best goa tracks ... but these tracks are the ones that give me good memories of this "goa feeling" you know ... they just got the spirit in them for me

His 2 Albums are two of the best psy albums I know. Especially Space. That is such an amazing album ... the best psy album in the world for me! And I know too that Another Theory will not be able to come even close to that - but it's still the successor to Space and that's why it interests me so fucking much!Loved the first 2 albums from him, and his morning-set on the alternative stage at VooV 2002 was amazing. Heard him at VooV again this year, this time on the mainstage, and it was a huge disappointment. I do like some full on, but his set sounded very standard, and not very "S>Range'ish" to me.
And BTW, the samples on the site http://www.triskelemanagement.com/s-range.html WORK! You just have to press "PLAY ALL", individual links don't work except the one I said above ... you should skip the first two and "Welcome To Paradise" if you just want to hear the unreleased stuff of the new album.
So what can I say ... I don't like all of them, but already the first, the Chromosome Remix of Another Theory, sounds very good (Chromosome is a very promising artist, his Test Tones Remix was a very good track too) ... Stand By sounds really really good in my ears too, makes me happy ... Blue Sky sound a bit mediocrer, but still fairly okay ... Technical Support sounds even more mediocre if not uninteresting, that's one I'm not curious about ... but Another Theory sounds very good again...
I guess when the album will be out I'll first wait for a review and listen to Saikosound samples before I decide to get it. I expect it to be 50% S-Rangely perfect and the other 50% mediocrely full-on...
-
I really don't like this cover. I know it's meant to be beautiful, but with the woman and the flower it gets such a kitschy and icky atmosphere to it ... yeaaarrg, I really can't stand that!
And besides ... the album is somewhat of a joke in my eyes ... wtf only 3 new Entheogenic traks and the rest remixes? I mean, there's nothing bad about remixes, but in my eyes remixes by other artists should not be on an album of another artist, know what I mean ... I mean, if Vibrasphere or Ott remixed a track then it's nice and stuff, but it has nothing to do on an Entheogenic album, because it's not Entheogenic's work, it's Vibrasphere's or Ott's! That's a joke in my eyes, seriously ... I even found the concept of AP's Ten better because there were ONLY remixes on that one!
The three new tracks should have been released as MCD in my eyes ... digipak, limited to 350 copies, hand numbered ... THAT would have done it! And the remixes released seperately as a remix album, that's ok.
But they screwed it. In my eyes...
-
I'm not denying that S-Range has indeed begun a "new era" of his music and is switching to full-on-ish beats and frequencies ... but I must say that (although some of the last stuff I found a bit cheesy) his own characteristic happy spacy sound remains in it and that's very good and I'm really awaiting this album
-
Okay, I am pissed off
You know, I'm waiting for this goddamn new S-Range album since last summer as it was said "it will be out early autumn 2004". Yes, I am not crazy, it was 2004! 200-fucking-4! But that's actually not what I'm complaining about...
What pisses me off is the following:
The official site said and still says (I have to get my info off the official site because this Liquid Records has obviously no website ... well, I found quite a few labels that name themselves liquid records, but none of them had S-Range...?) that there should be a new single out at September the 5th. It should be called "Another Theory" as well as the upcoming album and AFAIK it should contain three tracks - one off the album, one remix and one unreleased one.
Well, fine.A single will be released prior to the 3rd S>Range album "Another Theory". Release date 5th September.
But now we have September the 9th and I can't fucking find that single anywhere in the world!
You know, I am pissed a little. Not any information the official site gave until now about the new album was correct. What the fuck is the matter here? I smell problems. Probably label problems or some shit like that. They're talking of that goddamn new album since one year maybe - and they actually never said that it's still in the making, they were always talking about releasing!
Can ANYBODY give ANY info?
Oh and btw, just wanna share the info: I've finally found a sample of "Another Theory"
... http://www.triskelemanagement.com/artists/...ther_theory.m3u (it is the only sample of his new album stuff that works on this fucking site: http://www.triskelemanagement.com/s-range.html) ... and I must say it sounds very good, less poppy and less cheesy as the last few compilation tracks of him ... hope they will release this fucking goddamn album soon ... ARRRRRGH!!!
The best off the new progressive wave !

MATENDA!
(and I'm not talking of the chilling one here)
I enjoyed Tunnel Vision. A really nice album. And what I heard of energy Loader I also was really fond of
However, Andromeda is very very close!
