  1. Here we have something ... same base track, original and remix, 20 years apart ... documents the drastic change in style (and also production technique) over the years.

    Anything similar? I'd love to hear! :P

    2003:

    It was a favourite back then...

    2023:

    Holy sh*t things have changed ...

    ... note the drastic change in volume, the changes in sound ... odd thing about it is, it sounds pretty crunchy on modern standard car speakers, the original doesn't, but is better on headphones...

    Such changes in style, structure and listening habits :blink:

    On for another 20 YEARS ?

  2. Hey people,

    I don't know if my message came across properly, I developed a quite terribe fever that night, right as I wrote that post and I still have not fully recovered ... just wanted to tell you:

    If you need a video or a soundcloud entry enqueued, hit me up, I can do it for you as long as I have some BAN left to splurge ^_^


    Jungle TV is awesome, I believe the future of the internet (say "web 3") are not "dead texts" -- i.e. non interactive texts on webpages -- but interactive services, where you can participate in the action and this over there is a great example how to achieve it ... and I'm gonna be there sporadically anyways, holding up the Psytrance flag at least a little, regardless if anybody follows.

    cheers RTP :wub:

  3. Since a few of my last ideas didn't exactly "take off", I have thought about what I can do with some unused potential and the fact that I was boldly calling out the RTP RECORDS project -- and I found something really cool out there that I wanna share with you and that made me rename the whole Youtube Channel discussion into something totally new (our project area):

    "What's better than YouTube?" you may ask -- the answer is: "Well, JungleTV of course."

    Jungle TV is basically a TV station where anybody can play the host and enqueue YouTube videos.

    You can watch it at https://jungletv.live/

    Enqueuing videos costs you BANANO, a cryptocurrency, which can be earned -- you guessed it -- by watching JungleTV.
    The "perk" about this whole thing is, that the BANANO that are paid by the person enqueuing a video are distributed among all spectators (who have registered with their BANANO address) after the video has played. So you can earn BANANO by watching cool stuff on Jungle TV to then enqueue videos for yourself ... or you use your BANANO to unlock the full potential of that meme coin's ecosystem, wrap them on Ethereum (yes, they are over there aswell) and once you are over there, you can use them for whatever crypto project you fancy! It really is THAT easy.

    This platform has more uses than you may think about at first. Since Jungle TV has real persons viewing, protected by CAPTCHA, it is real exposure for YouTube videos -- organic growth, that is very sought after and can be used as a promotional factor, generating views, clicks, revenue ... you get it.

    I've always wanted to create a Psytrance-themed cryptocurrency ... but I didn't understand the point: you don't need a psytrance cryptocurrency, you just need a cool project like BANANO and use it for Psytrance and we can have our own corner over there ^_^

    Well, I think that PSYTRANCE is criminally underrepresented on JungleTV, which is why I have registered with member name RTP RECORDS to enqueue some S-RANGE and of course also more "cool sh*t" which will be stuff that I myself enjoy, so be prepared.

    Feel free to drop by and say hi over there :)

  4. Well, that went well so far, didn't it? .... NOT :P

    To be fair, I don't think it was my fault entirely, I could have been way more of a sting in the flesh for some people on my part, but I wouldn't have felt good doing it.
    I'd have released a Magnetrixx track, but he vanished ... Etnoscope went completely No Answer (yes, that's a track from them and I did that remark for the pun, but it's true) ... and S-RANGE has no new material for me till now.

    I have come to the conclusion that I will just let that release project chill and do it differently from now on, maybe dig up some lost material that's lying around here and gradually upload some stuff, not commercially and only as long as nobody opposes...

    Usually things go better when you don't wanna enforce them. And if not, I have my peace with it anyway :)

    If anybody wants to release stuff on Spotify, itunes, YouTube --> hit me up, I can arrange it, I still got the distribution account. But I'm not enforcing anything.

    cheers and have a good one -- I leave this thread online as a reminder for myself :D

    Check out Anathema - especially the later albums are gothic doom with ethereal female vocals and some electronics. 

    But my highest suggestions are fantasy/symphonic/ethereal black metal with darkwave aspects:

    Midnight Odyssey 

    The Ruins of Beverast "Exuvia" (very trancey) & " The Thule Grimoires"

    Summoning (Tolkien influenced)

    Emyn Muil (Also Tolkien fantasy influenced)

    And then of course there's dungeon synth:

    Old Sorcery

    Druadan Forest etc

    Dargaard will be for you if you are after the calmer side. Great project, female singer in it. Here is an album:

     

    But actually I have thought about this more. And I can come up with more.

    And as much as I would like to "flesh out" suggestions that go into the Tolkien influenced metal direction (Summoning, big love of mine) ... the statement about "Trip Hop" doesn't let go of me. 

    In the end, it really depends on what one is after. Maybe that Dargaard recommendation was all wrong for you?
    @acid beingwhat are you after? The female voice? The music? The atmosphere?

    When it's the female voice, purely, you will indeed find more in the TripHop area. Hooverphonic maybe. Bunny Situation. That's for me all 10 years old though ... my TripHop period is long over :D 

    When you are after the music, you probably will struck gold in the Gothic realm. There are some with female voices. I don't know much Gothic (rather like the EBM), but maybe you like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QDRJlM11XA

    Or maybe check out Ladytron. That's a quite good band!

    Night Club aswell ... "Dear Enemy" ... awesome :wub: ... I think that might be the one you even like most...

    Should also mention Fever Ray

    For "metal / rock with female voice that sounds interesting" I can suggest you Closterkeller. Most of the songs are in polish language though. 

    For some other wildcards, I could recommend you Eivør, stunning singer from Färöer islands ... or Aigel ( АИГЕЛ ) which is probably classified as HipHop, rather spoken than sung, but with a very skillful voice -- this I find pretty stunning, I hope you agree: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiZMGztIRKs

    Sorry if that was too much

    It's awesome to find someone to talk to about this, thanks man. :) I've been looking too but it's harder for me because I only really like the more ambient kinds of metal and it's a genre I've hardly bothered to explore at all (Anette Olzon is the only suggestion I found so far but I haven't had time to listen to any of her stuff at all yet).

    No idea if you'll feel the same or if anyone else here agrees, but my other favorite female vocalist is Toni Halliday. I don't know if it counts as metal really, but check out the album: Curve - Gift. Her vocals on Hung Up are amazing. It sounds dark and really trippy. It sounds like layers of 303s, but it could be some really ingenious guitar effects. The track has a lot in common with Leftfield - Original which she also sang beautifully on.

    The only other music I've found so far with similar feelings to the above gets classed as trip hop. A couple of tracks on Crustation - Bloom aren't too bad.

    Definitely let me know if you find anything yourself though.

    Your descriptions and suggestions made me think of this ... you could maybe like it:

    ... not metal, but will appeal to metalheads...

    Let me know what you think of it ^_^

  7. His nick was radi6404 ... which I always found funny because it apparently was no mistyping, he meant it that way and used that nick on other platforms too, Isratrance for example.

    I agree that some of his comments were - most harmlessly spoken - "kinda strange", but over the years I have developed a genuine like for his obsession with highways, mostly because I had to travel more around Austria in my (back then) new job and got to see a fair lot of these roads myself.

    I have absolutely no clue what became of him, sadly :(

    Many thanks RTP for kind words and generous offer. It may sound a bit odd but I am just a "periphery" artist doing my thing in the background of the scene.

    Heh, I am no more than a Periphery label aswell :D

    Very fine for me though either way - for your art, you are the Creator and you decide where it's released :)

    But you didn't say no, or did you? ;)

     

    (on a serious note, from now on I may just contact good people left and right with the same question if they have no label yet, just saying)

    btw I just noticed that the emoji sub-menu now displays all the apple emojis for me now. Is that a new custom plugin as well for the forum?

    I am afraid I don't know that :)

    On my side it displays all the old emojis like before.

    I could imagine that they do some trickery with apple now though.

  10. I'd like to add: you can also donate us BAT

    (these are earned by just using the BRAVE browser, which rewards you if you activate ads ... this way empowering you and only you with the decision on who should receive ad rewards - we would be happy if you chose us...)

    You sure there wasn't some 0-day exploit some hacker used? It seems a little too coincidental, all details concidered. They usually scan the web for forums with unpatched vulnerabilities, sometimes with bots/crawlers. 

    I checked with Mars and it was no exploit :D ... it were indeed technical problems, caused by an update -- the very thing that should protect us from exploits...

    Not gonna bore you with the details. I am super glad that we got this back to a working state.

  12. Hello everybody

    hooray, we've had new technical issues :P

    Since the last update, I could not post anymore. I investigated the problem, found out it concerned all message fields. I switched to about 4 browsers, it didn't go away ... I figured that it must be the editor, so I now disabled all customizations for the editor ... and it seems to work again now, at least for me.

    I don't know if anybody else experienced the same problem. Let me know. Also, feel free to let me know any stuff that's still broken ... I'll do my best to get back to you :)

    cheers RTP

    After all these years, we'd like to know, are there any black psy trance producers. well there is Priest from South Africa, but seriously, any one else?

    ... and the Necro of the Month award goes to ... :)

    Can I ask: how did you dig this up ... did you search or did you have a list somewhere in your pocket that this question is still unanswered?

    The post from Otto Matta up there was worth digging up though :D

    I can't contribute to the topic, sorry...
