Manuser, you rock! That one has been the most atmospheric track I knew back then when I still listened to trance mainly. I was a big fan of the Talla and Taucher guys because of it. As I have a trance past, I listened to lots of this eurodance/euphoric/emotional stuff. Here's just a sample of tracks I remember: I was a big fan of DJ Quicksilver ... the man had some good tunes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_BM6j5DGPA I also liked that tune, Koala - Australia (the old original one): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJURJtHNoak And from Tiesto ... that one was my favourite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRIGWAyDzD8 But if you want a real euphoric tune, try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0c6JnHeEw8 Ohhhh ... it feels like a still wet road after the rain when the sun comes out again ... with these synths, hissing like the tires ... far, wide, open, fresh and so nicely fast - depends on the car you are driving though

I second that. I am so fed up of these phone recording faggots who then put up videos on youtube with bad optics and a horrific sound quality. It's awful! And the dozens of phone screens held up in the air look absolutely pathetic! Fortunately I was too busy with headbanging on my last concerts to care too much about them, but I'm absolutely behind you on this. I don't know why they don't forbid this. Maybe one day it will come. But until then we will have to wait

Sorry Oopie, to me you ruined it Here is a better one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfEAIakpf5E By the way, that's also not the one I loved so much. I gave it up. I am through almost every remix of this that's on the net already. The one you posted, the "New York Version", the Michael Cassette remix (good!), Kebu's version, the Ben Liebrand mix, the Tiga Remix (which is called Ocean Drive ... pure horror ), Damzen's Euphoria mix, Sabo FX remix ... and soooooo many more ... it's not among them. It's an ancient track. Probably 1996 or even earlier. I am comforting myself with some Falco tunes ... hey, this guy actually had a great style with some real awesome electronic stuff, like Mutter Der Mann Mit Dem Koks Ist Da: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m7bHdcq87o this guy was one of the best musicians Austria ever had

^ Same is valid for Vienna ... drop me a line if you ever get here I must say I'm almost jealous at everybody who has the chance to visit Scotland ... awesome place, I like it a lot If I had the chance to do a visit to Europe I would probably visit Hamburg and maybe be lucky to visit one of the parties with typical "Hamburg sound". I would also drop by in eastern Europe, maybe Prague or Budapest or further east. You can pass through Vienna on your way there. And then France and Belgium and Amsterdam -- those would be also good destinations. And then also Sweden, but that's probably not so good in Winter -- better stay south, maybe Greece or Spain?

Radi, the Suzan Vega track and the Miami Vice theme are in my own personal list of favourite songs aswell ... but your constant mentioning of why nobody replies on these kinda ruined the good feeling for me to talk about them here Funnily enough the Crockett's Theme is one of my all time favourites and I am constantly on the hunt for a special remix I heard as I was little ... none of the existing ones that I heard so far was the right one. But anyway ... here are some of my favourite tracks: Da Hool - Wankers On Duty http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eto_2Xgcpi8 Anthony Rother - Father http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj9H2ofWNJI Kraftwerk - The Man Machine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mkd7LbQnfIQ

Uuuh damn I felt like I almost had it ... and then I see that you've found the name already. Anyway, the remix is good indeed ... I don't like the singing (which is why I generally am not into that kind of music), but the part with the four tone ambient tune that plays in the background at 2:00 onwards (for example), that one is what does it for me. The sound -- meaning only the caracteristic of the sound, not the structure or melody -- reminds me a bit of songs like Eric Prydz - Call On Me and Daft Punk - One More Time... Do you like these aswell?

hehe, it was good. Really good. But the aggression was less than on the albums ... that's understandable though. After all the venue (a far too small hall in Vienna, but with a good soundsystem) was very filled up with people ... so there was no moshpit or something, there was just too little room for that and also the people were not so much of that type -- there were old and young, all mixed together in the crowd. Which was cool. It's challenging anyway, to bring so many different eras of their musical life into one set ... but they did it quite well. With a lot of old stuff -- Alison Hell, King Of The Kill, Refresh The Demon -- loved that ... and also their new stuff and even their newest album, which I didn't know before. All nice and solid. They played nice and long ... with only one larger break that consisted of three ballads -- I hate ballads, so it was good to have these done in one go. They let the drummer play a solo which was insane. It felt like ten minutes only him trashing the whole drumset like a madman. Awesome! I'm happy that I was there

Now that is interesting... I remember I had a Shiva Chandra - Libellula mp3 ... was years ago ... but that one sounded differently. Meanwhile it got lost completely because my ipod crashed ... also already years ago It could be mislabeled (either mine or the one on youtube), but I would prefer to know fully. I tried to research this for the last half an hour or so (as I am a Shiva Chandra freak), but didn't find much more than the previous poster ... however, some sites mark the Libellula track to be 7:55 long -- and Mendrem to be 6:53 long ... which would speak for me having heard a different one, despite if it was mislabeled or not... there's now the following possibilities: 1.: the Libellula track on youtube is the correct one and the mp3 I had was mislabeled and it was the other track on the vinyl (Mendrem) 2.: the Libellula track on youtube is mislabeled, being the other track on the vinyl (Mendrem) and the mp3 I had was the correct one 3.: the Libellula track on youtube is something totally different (so, not from that vinyl at all) because the references above indicate different track lengths By the way Imba, how did you find that so quick?! The video was added on youtube only yesterday and I don't even find it by searching

Yes, that is explainable. Gingko increases your blood throughput (I don't know how to better put this into words), that explains the mentioned "enhancements". Simply because there is more blood available in the body at every moment, all things also tend to function better. Back then when I was playing more shooter games I liked to drink Gingko tea because of these enhancements I don't think you can compare the effects of it to real drugs though. I never got any colors. My cheeks just got red. I haven't taken it in really big quantities, however... But ... you are obviously a very sensible person, Radi. It's likely that you are more sensible to already "weak" substances such as Gingko or black tea. Nothing wrong with that though, better keep it that way and keep exploring ... I'd just rather word the statement: "to you, Gingko is like a drug" It could probably be used as an enhancer for real drugs, I would imagine. So you'd need less to get more (unless you don't catch a bad combination, I don't know if there are any). Interesting what others would say about it.

I had Windows 8 at work and it had a contribute in me hating the company because I had to work with it. I hated that there was no start button. And the compatibility of the applications was not 100% to my perception, although my boss denied that to me... Oh well, the new release of 8.1 won't help me now, I don't have the job anymore I find your PC cool, Lemmi ... there's no point in buying the new stuff anyway when you don't need it.

Thanks for the compliment about my country's energy politics, Radi, but here is a thing about the ecological energy in Austria you probably don't know ... people don't talk about this much, but it's real: The ecologically friendly energy that is produced here in Austria via hydropower and wind is not consumed here, it is sold ... it is exported out of the country, to foreign companies. For the amount of ecologically friendly energy that we sell, we buy cheap dirty (atomic or coal) energy from plants near the border (for example Mochovce). As we sell our ecological energy for a higher price than we buy the cheap atomic power, our politicans live quite well off the profit It's hypocrisy. Because we always said no to atomic energy in our country -- and then we buy it?! Until some time this was really a bad situation we couldn't change. But now there finally exist power companies who don't sell the ecological energy but really provide it to the people ... sadly they are expensive and my family can't afford that ... so we continue the false game of actually consuming dirty atomic power, at least in parts The only good thing is, that the eco power we produce is put to good use, no matter what. The buy and sell thing is practically just a thing that exists on paper. Still, it exists and that is bad, because of this atomic power plants do have more customers for their energy which makes their profits higher - and that should not be!

I don't wanna sound stupid (there are a number of people out there saying it's bullshit) but ... tried an e-cig already? A friend of mine is full-time smoker (meaning: more than your 2 ciggies a day, Radi ... although not a full pack ... maybe half) and he uses that now with great satisfaction -- it's basically a device that vaporizes pure (or almost pure) nicotine solution ... saves money, can smoke where it's not allowed (no fire, no air pollution, no smell) and is much more clean and also healthier than smoking cigarrettes... By the way, it's not the shit you see on TV that looks like a plastic cigarrette ... it's a bigger thing, looks more like one of those thin flashlights ... is good!

Hehe ... I hope to see these guys tomorrow -- Annihilator: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vfxjf_7yZVQ

Try Noma: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIncK9ksNUo Many of his stuff is like that.

LOL ... sorry, I was confused by the thread title ... I didn't know that with docs you meant documentaries. I thought you meant doctors. And since you also said "small", I thought "small doctors", thought that this means something in party slang and -- now it comes -- thought that I would finally unravel the mystery of the track title "Klein Aber Doctor" from Atmos ... "Small But Doc", you know Turns out that's wrong. Must be the hunger (I'm waiting for my pizza...). Sorry for that useless paragraph, but I thought that this is so far off it's probably worth sharing. But these documentaries ... they're nothing for me. Maybe I've watched the wrong one (drunk student disco) ... but hey, we got a TV show here in Austria that is a bit themed for such things ... it follows some people around and sees how they're paryting. But on that austrian show, it's basically all total chav scum and mainstream clubs/people/music. I just checked if there was something I could show, but I saw some of it on youtube again now and am actually so ashamed of Austria when I mention the show that I won't do it (it's not even fucked up good and proper, just boring mainstream drunk kiddie idiots holding their shitfaces into the camera). The ones above are at least well done and well fucked up, that's nice. But still, nothing for me.

Yeah, Beatspace is a good find ... I always sorta confused them with beatport ... good to see they sell physical releases Oh and I'm not dedicated enough for the Saiko tattoo... I'd take a Wirikuta lanyard though (not that there are any...)

Maybe that was not too wisely worded from me ... "resources" includes also the work, time, effort to produce the music But now the situation is not like that anyway, with a guy having a load of CDs piled in his cellar -- as draeke mentioned the release not being pressed. That gives it the possibility of digital download though, as mentioned earlier. I'm happy to read that there are discussions now (at least it seemed?). Because even if there were no new releases by that label Tranceform records, why not release this finished work now as "the keystone"?

That was well said, the part about the companies dictating the government... There are alternatives to fossile fuels though ... and one is even readily available: oil from plants. You can even run a normal diesel car with cooking oil (used for french fries and then filtered) ... Mythbusters did it years ago Plus there is this crazy german team of scientists I saw in a documentation on 3sat TV station ... I don't know many details anymore but they talked about practically cooking and chemically treating plant parts into some form of sludge ("Slurry" they called it) and make a stuff identical to fossile oil out of it. Practically. I can't say more, don't remember it ... plus, TV can actually say anything and people will believe (although I think 3sat to be a station with more scientific reputation than many other mainstream programs). But nevertheless, science is working on that, good and proper. And they will find a replacement, I'm not worried about that... There are other things I'd worry much more about. My list you can see above

That's a nice one I don't know how to describe it properly, but I find that there is a certain element of freshness in some of the sound that's coming from Greece and that's what I like -- when I can find it. Odd Sequence (from Iono Music) would be another example ... I discovered him not long ago and in his sound I once again find this freshness, this uncomplicated plain goodness. To say that all greek music does this for me would be wrong, by far. But it has struck me not only once these days that it might not just be random preference but that there may be a little more to the reason why I find the sound so good. I'm even tempted to romantically use expressions similar to what Radi says about the landscapes, that these vibes from a warm sunny climate are soothing and illuminating the cold darkness inside me and that this is the reason why I like them so much ... but alas, it's not like that ... it seems just that some Greeks are creative with sound in a way that's more pleasant for me than it's with others. I'm eager to discover more though, any time

Sorry, I vote for fail. Wait until the Chinese people -- and not only the Chinese, take that for every "development country" -- go through the same economic evolution like we and thus start to have bigger carbon footprints. Six billion is the current world population (sorry, seven -- just looked), tendency rising. If these people all got a car, you can say goodnight to the planet. My chemistry teacher said something like this already ten years ago. He will be right. He will be right! Not only do we have the emissions, at the same time we also have to fight the plastic in our environment, the environmental damage through poison etc. (Fukushima hooray), the dying of species (how many were there that get extinct every year? I don't know the number anymore, but it was worrying), even such simple things as "light smog" ... oh and don't forget electro smog, the rays from cellphones and electric devices that will give us brain cancer or whatever nasty shit, illnesses through poisons or even through simple things such as burn-out in the ever faster-getting business world ... or even the financial crisis, the most laughable way to go down as it's all man-made entirely ... oh and, after all, lets not forget the danger to be bombed into oblivion by some crazy religious lunatic or simply an amok runner who can't cope with his life anymore... Avoid The Future! Noma already knew it. ... sorry guys, Cinos already called me "doomsday prophet" ... guess that's what I am...

I've never been to Greece ... but nice trip, Radi. Go see more of the world, it's good for you The story about the song is cool ... I find it most cool because there's a bottle of Whisky in it (one that doesn't even take such small a role apparently ) ... I never pictured Greeks drinking that stuff, in my mind it was a drink for bold northeners (rather) who needed it to warm their hearts in the cold times -- it's a drink with warm energies, I picture down there they'd rather drink stuff that brings cool energies, like Ouzo (sorry for the clichée), because the climate's hot already... Anyway, Ormion, do you have any greek edm, rock, pop songs? I'd be curious to hear some ... I don't really get too much into that "laika" stuff ... but I think you guys certainly have some good stuff ... after all you got Strange Zero, one of the best discoveries of the last years for me... SCNR, I have to post one of their songs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNOSSjOGa7U Take that for "greek" music! Listen to that music next time you're there Radi ... I would

Seems we've finally found The Onion of electronic music

There's a compilation that's already pressed and the stuff is just lying around in somebody's basement? Sorry but seen from the status quo that's just a shameful waste. Waste of resources, waste of money, waste of time for the artists (or did they get paid already?)... Why not selling the stuff? Or let somebody else do it? If the thing is ready-pressed, why not just DO it? There are apparently people out there wanting to pay money for it! What are they waiting for? Right now it's the worst condition -- zero net benefit for anybody involved ... worse than this it can not even get ... even if you sold them for one cent each, the situation would be slightly better. If I was that guy with these CDs in my cellar and it would be too much work for me, I'd collect a few orders (just ask a few people here if there's no other place), then make an evening with friends, buy some envelopes and make a shipping party Come on, can somebody with some time to spare lend this man a hand and ship that thing out to customers? All there is is signing envelopes or isn't there? It makes me nervous when I hear that so many resources are wasted -- I can't stand it when people waste things...

Oh noes ... just as I was discovering that Psyshop (aka P$y$hop) is obviously not the most benefical element for the scene and thus looking for alternatives to order music, I see that saikosounds is no more Bad news. Ummm ... could it really be that this was one of the causes for the bankruptcy? What was it actually with that weirdness ... I checked only that Wirikuta was going from a respectable distro gradually to a scammy one as they didn't pay labels and later didn't even ship orders anymore and then they were gone...

My first Goa CD was this one: http://www.discogs.com/Various-The-World-Of-Goa-Trance-Vol-3/release/87331 It was a kind of "blind bet" ... meaning I knew nothing of Goa Trance before. I only had somebody talking to me that it's "much more intense than normal trance" which is why I got curious. And so I bought that CD for a bargain price in a big entertainment store ... one that wasn't even yo badly stacked concerning Goa, they had Spirit Zone stuff there and the Goa-Head compilations ... of which I later bought some, unfortunately I left out on the Spirit Zone stuff though, had not enough money for all... Not long after that I went to my first psy party ... and the music there was totally different (but great!), which left me a bit confused and led to practically my first thread here where I asked for similar stuff concerning "minimalistic psy". And that was then practically instant love ... some of the recommendations became a few of my favourite artists to this day (Atmos!)...
