Nine months later...
... I have not given up. I think I now have the definitive idea.
I am going to name it "The Psynews Anniversary Series". And it's going to be a series of 12" releases with 2 tracks each, mostly.
The big advantage is, that this way the project is sliced into tiny enough chunks that I can manage it comfortably. I will start with the first vinyl with "my own favourite artists" basically, and then I may broaden it and also listen to suggestions ... point is always: if I get the money back from the release, then imma go do a "next one".My prophecy is that it's going to be stuck already with the first one, hehe, but we'll see -- other outcome is that it'll be going well and this will be the Genesis of RTP Records!!
The project shall be completely private in the first stage -- "RTP's Private Release" basically. I will license the tracks privately and then do a private "giveaway" of the release to the users in exchange for an equal part of the cost ... think like 20 EUR per vinyl plus shipping. There will be no actual SALE. I want to avoid having to found a company (it needed to be a GmbH in Austria if I don't wanna be liable with my own private money if somebody breaks the vinyl and cuts his neck with it or suffocates with the wrapping plastic - and to found a GmbH I need 35.000 EUR which I ofc don't have)...

That's cool ... mine won't be that cheap, but since I need more than just the amp, I decided to look for a more complete system ... and I currently have set my eyes on a Technics one ... will be amp, receicver (which I absolutely don't need) and a tape deck ... CD player still needs to be sorted ... I hope Technics is a good brand, I only know them because of their direct drive turntables

I'm wondering if perhaps the psynews contest forum section which was active the last time 16 years ago or something, could be a thing again? To add some competitive edge to it .
Kinda funny browsing through that forum, seeing artists who are now released on several labels, beeing very eager back then to get some recognition. 
If it could inspire some potential new hidden talent out there then why not?
YES there is the plan to revive the contest - I was busy with the rules till recently ... will see, maybe we can launch this...

Huh, it worked for me ... I just copypasted the link text. Browser: Firefox
Listened to it. It's cool stuff so far - instant idea:
Take @Veracohr 's track, enrich it with @Psychedelic Superbeast 's melody number 3 from the first video (the one that starts at 0:39 ... you might have to adapt the tonal relation though so that it matches) ... and the whole thing might develop into something more goatrancey in the progress of the track, ideas for that are still missing in my head though...
I need to get a Cubase (I only can work with Cubase, we used it for Skeletone - but my mate is decomissioning the sudio and takes the Cubase dongle with him, it's his) to be able to participate in this (which I'd be up to) ... and I need to go for a legal one. I'll see what I can afford ... have to get an audio system first ... one after the other

@WarpedMind guess what, I have developed the same problem ... I can't sleep to drone or dark ambient anymore, I get feelings of uneasiness ... can't even do psy ambient anymore, it makes me sad and feel alone ... but, joy of joys, I have found exactly what is needed in my situation - light ambient, that is positive and on the fantasy side:
The Guild of Ambience are the best. They really do this specific type of ambient, exactly what I need: no darkness, no depression. Instead, a sound so clear and crisp that you almost begin to smell that mountain air...
They also have ASMR noise of old mansions with howling wind and rain - or ships with their creaking wood and gentle rolling waves ... I really like to sleep to these sounds aswell...
I'm recommending that Guild especially because their productions have a degree of warmth and gentle mastering, that is very suitable for my ears.
-
Yeah, that one is good - as in: well made ... although I think you can produce a similar effect by just playing Atrium Carceri and a heavy techno piece side by side.
I have to say, however, I don't like the dark vibe so much that engulfs this piece ... to me the noisy tracks are dark aswell, but they sound like the composer is still willing to live and change something in the world, that it doesn't stay like that - and be it only dancing ... dark pieces like this one, however, have a sort of resignation in the vibe - it feels like the composer has given up hope ... and that's what drags me down along with it. It's a personal issue though...
-
That's a good one ... will remember AnD
-
And here's a really cool one ... it's these tracks that actually interest me the most, those that not only touch, but also cross the border between Techno and Industrial / Noise ... Ah-Cama Sotz did it:
you can feel it has less bass, but far more bite in the noise - this is what I am after
-
I liked Techno before getting into Trance ... but that phase didn't last long, I practicaly only listened to Mauro Picotto
I was 15 and had no budget for any more releases, so forgive me the very restricted musical scope
Nowadays I'm rediscovering Techno myself ... I especially like the harder and more industrial stuff...
I got these recommendations ... from hard (dark?) towards more "light" stuff:
second of these is my favourite, does anybody have some similar ones?

Listening now to he one from germanys no go areas, that captured my attention at once since it's also a term used a lot in sweden lol
really good beat and flow, and yeah the video is gritty for sure. not as blingy and shiny as some of the more commercial rap videos indeed. The local pub looks hella fishy
HAZE is awesome ... didn't find anything more gritty than him that's german ... there's more _violent_ stuff, but not more _gritty_

More:
that one wasn't that gritty - and it has english lyrics, but it's so awesome that I must allow it ... love AIGEL
back in the grit, yo
time for an asian one ... with grit
but at the end, MNOGOZNAAL is one of the very best ... it's such a pity I can't find a CD (I don't speak russian) ... I'd buy one for sure...
-
@AstralSphinxof course!
and it's my pleasure to give some suggestions .. but it's all going to be non-english - and gritty, did I mention that I like it gritty
^^ greetings from Mongolia...
and love from Russia...
from Germany's no go areas...
and a headbutt from Austria!

hmmm ... my heart thinks, you are looking for StrangeZero ... they are not completely beatless, but fabulous, please check them out
here is a beatless track (ambient mostly)
and here is a not beatless, but in my opinion much better one:
and if you like The Herb Garden, you'll love them ... I once said, on here, something along the lines of "they are like The Path that Carbon Based Lifeforms should've taken" (yes, the path with a capital T and P as an insider
)
oh yes and Carbon Based Lifeforms - or CBL - is another suggestion, but that's ambient or psybient ... and you said you don't want that...
-
Hey
I love The Streets ... but I like the more gritty side of them:
or this one:
this sounds like it's going with me when I'm drunk ... without the mushrooms of course...

three words: Finntroll new album
should be out soon

I have a general question regarding the section previously known as "other art" which was merged with the offtopic section. Within those subforums there is none from what I can see where one can post art? Or have I missed something?
My eyesight might be to blame as well. But yeah if there is a subforum or thread where one can post random digital art/visual arts, photography/street art and stuff like that.
Or perhaps that goes into the main offtopic section? I'm not so used to that section as I never frequented it before in its prime
I think the "other art" was just movies and literature ... so merging that with OT was the right thing to do.
For that what you _probably_ mean with art, you could use the "visual promotion" forum if you had art to post that's at least related to psychedelic trance...7 hours ago, AstralSphinx said:I'm wondering why we can't see forum signatures in the mobile browser? Could that be enabled somehow via sysop/admin control panel? Or if an option could be enabled for forum users to toggle between this mobile view and the classical desktop view while on mobile browser? Some forums I frequent has this option.
I have no idea, sorry

Thanks
I think I'll go for the old option. Already contacted a first seller ... lets see what it brings.
I have a phono preamp though.
Will keep you posted
-
Great, thanks for the input - I see that I have two ways to go now:
- old way = used equipment: old amp and old CD player ... plus some old passive speakers that are nice
- new way = active monitors and some CD player gear...
I'd appreciate some hints for the old amps - I have litterlally no clue about that stuff

yeah that was a good one, I knew this track for a long time ... used it as a comedown / chiller after sports...
@recursion loop and @Padmapani the track "Accessoire" is 7 years old actually, since it was posted on Human Blue's own Soundcloud 7 years ago, which I - funnily enough - only just realized
Actually there's more there aswell:There he's also writing something about a new album ... but I don't really buy these news. It was the same with S-Range ... there's no new album legally out till now...
But we have to be thankful to Bakke and Iboga Records that this Human Blue track is finally released...-

hey Loop...i am the rude guy here so fuck off and flirt with others about analog synthesizers instead making fun about homosexuals...freak ;)
That was unnecessary ... you're lucky that Loop took it cool. My thumbs up for that!
@Tsotsi you did well there - I could listen to more of these.
I think for doing this, you need a personality that's suitable for video making - and you have that ... I don't know if I have that personality, I probably am more suitable for interviews and asking questions...All the best! I hope that you will do more of these. AstralSphinx's list is a good suggestion if you were looking for any

Hi ... I'm not sure this it the best section for this, but I need some advice from gear people and this is where many of them hang out, so...
... my "Hifi system" (it's an ordinary compact Hifi system, nothing professional ... one of the kind that stood in many a youngster's room in the 00's maybe) stopped working properly, it now switched to a mono unit as one speaker is dead and I hereby decide that this is not bearable anymore.
Here's how this thing looked like:I kept procrastrinating eternally, but now it's over - I need a new one!
Well, I have been looking - and problems arise: these compact HiFi systems are not sold anymore in the form I used to know them. It seems, that there's only two forms now anymore: either go full professional (and terribly expensive) with receiver, amp and whatnot ... or you go compact, with tiny speakers and usually also very limited functionality. Most of the tiny ones don't have what I need.I absolutely need these features:
- reasonably good sound that also has a reasonable amount of bass ... doesn't have to be super great, but mine actually did well ... imagine playing Noma - Navigator on it. The tiny ones sound like a box of matches...
- a headphone jack is an absolute must - and I'd prefer a large one, not the small jack
- two external input pairs with the red and white cables ... my system had one, but it'd be nice if there were two = I want to connect the vinyl player and the TV at the same time rather than always plug and unplugI'd also find it cool if there was a tape deck, but it's not a must.
The price is a big factor for me ... it may not be too big. When a 2 input channel amp alone is 400 EUR, I am out. I'd seriously like to spend less than that on the whole thing = speakers, amp and CD player ... but is there even something half-decent available with that budget?
What Hi Fi system do you have? Which one you can recommend? Is it a good idea to look for a used professional one - are these units sturdy and long-lasting? Any experiences? I really need some help, haven't found anything in my comfort zone yet...
-
So I thought about this a little, but I have to say that there's not that much to offer at the moment from my side. Haven't been in the studio with my mate since months - and now they're moving out of it anyway. Have to get a production environment going ... then I can contribute.
My level is this right now ... made this track out of building blocks myself ... not really a great thing skill-wise, it was just made by patching together building blocks - and no mastering:
I got a better one lying around, but I have to see if I still have the files - it won't be good without any files...
-
I think you as old progressive lovers might like this ... despite it's a NEW TRACK:

New pop music then, is Tame Impala pop? Maybe, maybe not. The latest album is great anyway. =))
I really, really liked that one. Cool

and not Diet Coke. Which is kinda amusing or cynical depending on how you view it, considering that a large chunk of his audience must be kids.
and that one was really good too - for the first three minutes it was great, unfortunately a little low after that
