Yes, this is another topic about headphones. I need new ones. Seriously. Because I'm running with them all the time and they get all sweaty and meanwhile they reek already (don't tell me now to clean them, I fucking bathed them already in water several times, it still gets worse and worse, I'm having them for about three years already ) ... and they aren't suitable for high summer temperatures as my ears get soo hot with them on ... I want new ones. PHILIPS SBC HP550, that's the model I have. I can't find it anywhere to buy anymore ... but I don't want new HP550 ones anyway, they're too hot for the summer. I already bought another model - Philips SBC HP400, light ones and actually not even so bad for running (they fit well, I wasn't sweating so much with them and all that), but the sound, it was worse than crap. Bass support about beyond zero, synths so overdriven that they hurt my ear (I turned it up real loud 'cos I wanted bass!)! No, that's nothing for me. I mean, the sound wasn't even that bad for other music that does not focus so much on basslines, like metal or so, but I want the headphones for running and for running I need psy! So I sold them again and spent the money on beer. But that didn't solve my problem in the end. I'm now still searching for good, cheap, quality headphones. The point is that they should not be expensive and still they should deliver a good sound. And a fairly comfortable fit for my head ... but they may not fall off while running, my god! I don't expect the bass as phat as with the HP550 ones as I want some that don't press on the ears so much to have ventilation and not to sweat too much under them, but they should deliver a good, heavy bass-supported sound (I don't want Etnoscope drums to sound like somebody is knocking on the outside of the headphone speaker )... I already thought about buying the Philips SBC HP460 ones: Specs: 15-28.000 Hz, Neodym drivers, powerful sound. Anybody has experiences with those? Good/bad? Or does anybody know a better model (nothing above 50 Euro please, I have no money (the prob is, that real quality begins probably at the double amount of money, eh he ))...

Austria: http://www.vulcanic.at/ http://www.suntribe.at/ look on goatrance.de too

Earthtrance. That might not be the most brillant one, but it was the first goa compilation - actually the first goa CD at all that I bought. Got it for two euros (no joke) in a box with dumping-prize-items at Libromania (that store doesn't exist anymore). That CD has a very special meaning to me, therefore I say it's the "best" IMHO ... it was my first encounter with the Man With No Name, Banco De Gaia, Eat Static and several other tracks which are nowadays reagrded as classics

Well ... back then I was mostly into the early Dream Dance compilation series ... with artists like Sven Väth, The Visions Of Shiva (How Much Can You Take?), Energy 52, Oasis, Disco Citizens, Paul Van Dyk, CJ Stone (Tower Of Naphatali), Chicane... A bit later I had a Dance To Trance and DJ Quicksilver period ... which then led into trance music of nowadays until end of 2001 as I discovered psy - fortunately...

Oh... Does that mean we lost another artist to Fullon? That's really a pity as the Feuerhake sound was always very unique and original

Yes, Feuerhake is very good ... I love it Klangstrahler Project are very nice too ... their stuff's a bit calmer than Feuerhake...

I don't download much anymore, but ripper groups are nowadays the only way to go, because with those files you can be 95% sure that it's no fake... And BTW, the stuff I search for is only avaliable through ripper groups anyway...

The last thing I heard of them was Fire on Goa-Head 18 ... and it was an incredible track (it's my second fave on that complilation )... I hope they will release some more in that style...

Well, I never really cried to music (I mean that I burst into tears) ... that can only do films to me, but I got wet eyes because of wonderful melodies already some times: Carbon Based Lifeforms - Hydroponic Garden ... that's made my eyes wet more than once at the first listen (and still)... S-Range - 2001 ... the track, not the album (though it's brilliant, but it doesn't make me cry) ... as I heard this "I'm convinced that there must be many, many higher civilizations ... blahblah"-sample together with this wonderful synth that drags itself through nearly the whole track I really was stunned... Noma - Another Time ... mmh yes ... although this sounds already melancholic to me, but well...

I can go completely nuts on the dancefloor too. I had several burn scars of the cigarettes and joints I kicked out of people's faces with my arms (smoking on the dancefloor isn't a good idea, lol) And I'm like Seraph - I can't understand how people can stand still to this music. Once I was in a club where the security was posted in front of the emercency exit doors at the side of the hall - and the securitys (all black guys ... that looked SO cool, hehe) were standing like statues. They did not move. And I just didn't get it ... I mean, how can they stand completely still? The walls were shaking, the vibe was incredible - but they did not move. Not even tap their toes a little. Crazy...

Blue Lunar Monkey - Dance Around (can it get more uninspired?) S-Range - Trance Troopers Haldolium - How U Feel Magnetrixx - Suppencaspa (I know what a Suppenkasper is, so to me it sounds just plain dumb)

Yep, yep, yep ... May 4th ... I can't wait And no matter what sound they play now (according to EP it will be boring fullon, which isn't so good news), I have never seen them live and I think I absolutely need to, no matter how they are now, they made amazing stuff back then

I'd say I'm mostly into scandinavian prog morning ... no crazy stuff though, that's why I didn't vote for the northern europe one. S-Range, Matenda, Human Blue ... I love But it's not crazy. Etnoscope would fit rather under crazy maybe. No, not maybe ... actually actually. Ah, fuck it, I voted for prog morning...

Help!

Auricular. Definitely. Actually AFAIK Auricular = Shiva Chandra... I don't know, but Genetic Spin also reminds me a bit of Chandra ... you probably might like that...

I think Feuerhake's great music. And I even like the cover, it's not gay in any way IMHO... And the other one, the Psychedelic Blonde ... it can't be bad music with artists like Human Blue, Prex and 12 Moons...

MATENDA - SMIRI SE Nothing comes close to that! This is just ... my frequency! Other ones are: Carbon Based Lifeforms - Central Plains + Tensor Eat Static - Abduction Matenda - No Return Shpongle - Around The World In A Tea Daze (Ott Remix) Bluetech - Prophetic Sines Saafi Bros. - Wellness Farm Björn Lynne - Messages

Oooh guys, I wish I could go. But it shall not be, I just live too far away Well, nevertheless I wish everybody a great time there

I recently liked Bluetech - Prima Mateira ... and Red Seal - Black Ops. But this phasis is already passing. Currently the psy is not that much present ... I mean, I listen to the ordinary random mp3s from my list, but I'm not hooked on psy right now. But I already know that I will be hooked on ConSequencer soon ... ask me again in a couple of weeks, because I actually have just one song yet Currently I'm on Enigma - MCMXC A.D. and Bathory - Nordland II because I got both cheap recently.

I don't know much of Muslimgauze. But what I would say is, that his music fits IMHO more into Noise/Dark Ambient than in Ambient, because I would say that there's more similarity to noise/dark ambient (I'd say "Dark Ambient Dub") artists than to the music which people on these forums here classify as ambient ... if you listen to "Arab Jerusalem", that's definitely noise IMHO ... the rest I have heard reminds me of dub...

I already can say a clear no, for the best party I have been to until now has taken place this year. And BTW, in the last time I register another trend into a much "housier" musical direction ... well, I don't know if it's just me, but I say that soon there will be open a third section which isn't fullon and isn't dark psy techno, but nice danceable morning-tech-trance-touched stuff

LOL, I always thought she means GESCHÄFTSUNTERLAGEN :lol: Anyway, my favourite: S-Range - 2001: "I believe that there must be many, many higher civilisations in this enormous and (one word I don't understand) ancient universe."

Noma - Soon

I'd laugh my ass off if the original will be in that style too

LOL Great idea, man
