indeed, there's also the first released Red Seal track on it good, so I will start trying to get those Flying Rhino compilations somewhere...

Scooter Concert! I had the vision being on a Scooter concert! But that makes no difference, I felt the same like that guy ... only I was not at Sonnenklnag but at some normal gig, but anyway. Yes, the dude is very right (and it's a really good post ... such intellectual talk doesn't fit to Isratrance I always thought). But when the development of our music is like that you can't really stop it, there's too many people that prefer the mindless drug crap music. Or well, they probably don't care and would not be able to distinguish Dimension 5 from Skazi in their drugged up minds. And industry noticed. That's why they now release cheap crap music. Because nobody cares! Or well, the ones who care are in such a minority that it doesn't harm business when they don't buy releases/go to parties. The expanding of the mindless scene is still bigger and stronger than the amount of people that jump out of it. That is the point: we just have to wait until the drop-out rate is higher than the expanding rate, then industry will see that they will make less and less money and stop hyping it and slowly leave the terrain until in the end it will be calm again. But we must have the patience to wait until this point, which is god knows when. Until then it will get worse and worse. And still worse. It will expand so much that in the end you have the people there in our scene you'd never have wanted there. But the industry doesn't matter - CDs are sold, tickets are paid, money is earned. And that's the only thing that matters to them. The going down of the scene doesn't even come to their minds, it's their profit after all. All in all the unfotunate fate we thinking psyheads that still go to parties share is, that we actually give a damn about our scene! And the others don't. And they are in the vast majority. Just wait until the chavs come. They are already there, but wait until they come in masses! Then there will be poice raids not because of drug issues, but because of mass fights and violence!

Hi I got this album from Red Seal, Black Ops, since quite some time already. And I must say I like that style ... the chilling vibe that swings with it in some tracks is very cool. Lately I have been coming across it again and I must say it would be quite nice to have some more music in that direction. I like this chilling style, mixed with dub and occasionaly even a few hip hop elements. I tried to find some stuff, but found nothing suitable ... either it's too psy-chill like or it's too much hip hop (I don't like hip hop, you know ... but funnily enough Red Seal have just the right amount of it in it that I actually like it!). Can anybody recommend me something? Would be cool...

In case you like Padmasana you will like Makyo aswell

ha, another oldschool listener! hi there

oh ... bummer I emailed them ... hope I get an answer

cool! I didn't think of that. Nice surprise got any info out of Anti, Nemo?

a wise post actually... and I second it. but I dig that sound quite a lot

hey! nice

Feuerhake (except the latest album!) Klangstrahler Projekt that sound is the symbol of summer/outdoor for me

oh gosh, that would be such a perfect title for a track ... or even better, an album! Surrounded By Bulgarian Mountains And Looking At Skinny Girls Radi, if you ever make an album and give it this title you'll get an extra plus point from me in the review

that's the only Talpa I know and I don't like it...

Bad 2 The Bone!!!!!! this has become my absolute favourite Atmos track lately and the most played track of the last weeks ... I FREAKIN' LOVE THAT SYNTH EFFECT!

Yeah, I'm really happy that I'm finally "getting" oldschool! I always found most of it quite nice, but never could really connect to it. Now finally I got it ... I obviously needed to experience it live on a big soundsystem to really get grabbed by it. But I must say that at home I would neither be able nor would I be in the right mood for such brain-melting experiences ... so I won't be that desperate getting more oldschool CDs. I just really respect that style now

haha, I found it kinda cool ... you could take proper leaks in the beginning anway... The first thing I did as I came home was washing my hands though obviously it was ... this guy's so full of energy I was amazed ... I just was talking to him and he hugged me...

ha? haha? aaahahahahahahahahahaha ... *head shot* I'm so happy I still saw these guys before tha Supervisor came out and they went totally down the drain

HA! So finally I was able to really see with my own eyes how Astral Projection are live. And I must say, you people were not right about saying that they suck now ... which is why I'm very happy that I didn't let distract myself from the comments here and went to that gig nevertheless. Yes, it was quite expensive ... and it was not nice from the organizer to want money (and not even few) for the water (there were no sinks and no toilets there in this old industrial hall, only porta-potties without water ... but at least that added a great deal to the "underground experience", hehe) which is why I got a little pissed off in the beginning ... but fortunately I didn't let distract myself because of such inferiorities (in the end I was very lucky and found so many 1 Euro refund notes (for beakers and cans) lying somewhere on the floor that I could afford enough free water for my needs and didn't dehydrate - thanks to whomever that dropped them for me, you saved my evening) Well, about the music: first there was a quite fullonish live-act also from Israel ... and the fullon then got even worse as some DJ was playing. But it was still bearable. There were hardly any parts that I really wasn't liking. Well, guys like Ale would probably have hanged themselves already on the old crane on the ceiling ... but for me it was still okay, even started dancing a little bit at some parts and during parts I didn't like I was heading for the bar, I needed so long there because of the queue that when I was back dancing the music was completely different again. I don't even know how late or early it was as Astral came and were setting up their gear (a good sign ... normally I always look annoyed at the watch and wait until the live finally starts). And then. The DJ finished his set quickly and it was time for Astral! And well, the set was damn good. It really was damn good. It started off quite okay with some new stuff from them (I don't find the new stuff that bad), then got a little personal peak for me when they played Open Society (seriously, a "personal peak" for me because I was thinking at some time "now it would be cool if they'd play Open Society" and two seconds later bam! a sudden break and the sample started. I felt like they could read thoughts!) and from then it got absolutely incredibly better because then they played OLD STUFF! And for the first time in my life I really freakin' KNEW why you all like old school so much! And I freakin' understand you! This was damn good! I even recognized some of the tunes ... although it's funny because I have no clue what exactly they were playing and even now as I'm listening to all Astral Projection stuff I have I can't find them again. For example I heard Mahadeva ... but it was somehow not the version I own (and not the remix off "Ten" either, I'm checking that right now) ... interesting. I really don't know. People Can Fly was the only track where I could really say that they played the original version. Somehow. But that didn't limit the experience. I was litterally dancing my brains out there! I finally understood why people like this oldschool style so much, the many synths, the melodies ... it went as a wall of sound straight into my brain! And the fact that they really had a good sound system there where the sound was well loud but still crystal clear was also contributing - at least the sound got a soundsystem where it's worth that it's played on! Totally incredible. It was so awesome and so great that I somehow really needed another water, but couldn't bring myself to go to the bar at that time, just couldn't, I had to catch my brain first that was going off to the sound in that hall like there was no tomorrow! Absolutely incredible. With that part of their set Astral Projection really managed to give me one of the best goa sound experiences I ever had as of now. Well. And in the end of their set to calm down the sund mayhem they briefly returned to their new sound again for three tracks or so and I finally really got the message that this new sound has not the power that the old stuff has. I was coming down from my braindance and got myself some water, I was thirsty as a camel. Roughly I can say that about half of the set was their new sound and the other half their old ... although I can't say what tracks they were playing ... I actually have the feeling I didn't even know them before ... but the sounds were so strangely familiar... In the end after the set I even managed to say hi to the two guys and thank them for the nice set. "Next time you come here I'll be here!" I said. "I know." Avi replied. Well, I'll see you guys again when you come here, definitely So, to all those that say Astral Projection suck now, it clearly was not like that for me. I say if you haven't seen them already, go for it!

I really really hope that one day I'll make such a post too ... because that would mean I'll still be listening to psy in many years! I really hope it I'm only in the scene since five years. Yeah, that's right ... just about this time five years ago I got hooked on psy and soon afterwards I was on my first party! Hope it's gonna be another five years

I could never study to S-Range. I already tried. Got up in the middle of studying and started dancing in front of the desk. In the end it lead to nothing I could not study to any of the other stuff mentioned by you guys either though! It's too mind-consuming. In the end I'm neither concentrating on the studies nor on the music. I do it like that: - For CONCENTRATED studying one day before a test or so, I need silence. Works best. - For unconcentrated studying or for doing excercises I need easy chilled stuff that does not consume too much brain power. Thievery Corporation and their likes as well as Blackfish work nicely. - For doing boring and monotonous excercises (such as transscripts or the likes) I also can digest some more brain consuming stuff. Progressive is my favourite. Can be some metal too. I love to listen to metal tapes while doing boring excercises or writing stuff...

Not yet ... but I have been thinking about getting some extra for that glossy CBL album cover...

indeed ... this "yagshemash" stuff is obviously quite present in eastern regions of Europe ... I have heard the same meaning of it from a dude that leans czech (or was it hungarian? nevermind...)... I like Ukiro's idea btw: ResuR2ecords

thanks ... it made sense ... and I will listen through that once when I'm bored

I don't have the impression that they did it like you say - reduced fullonism on disc 1 an more of it on disc 2. I'd say they increased it on both discs! I mean, I only prelistened it, so I can't say anything too definite, but my first impression was that it has nearly all gotten fullon - on disc 1 and on disc 2. Tracks like Elec3 & Psynina - Stardust, Mad Contrabender - Redeemer (Live Mix) or Optokoppler - Massive and many others on disc 1 too are either full on per se or if not that then they are still generic and kinda boring to me - at least for Goa-Head standards I mean ... and this bad it has never been on disc one! Never, even though it always was the more powerful side! And disc 2 is a catastrophe ... what is Galactika - Blue Velvet doing there? I want prog, damnit! Really, that is sad. Goa-Head had always some original and cool tracks on them, some that are far off the genericness that has infested this genre ... and because of that I was a great fan! Now hearing volume 23 and hearing that it has all become very generic so to say, this disappoints me quite a lot. Not even groovy stuff on the second disc ... what is this ... this kind of shite they do now was not present on still recent Goa-Head compilations like vol. 21! On that one there are already some occasional parts of genericness on the first disc, I admit that, but it's not so bad, they still managed to hold the niveau up on the first disc with some good tracks such as Ticon - Texas Magnussen ... and on the second disc there was groove only anyway. I really liked Goa-Head compilations because of the fact that they have not become generic like dozens and hundreds of other compilations out there ... but now that I heard the 23rd installment I really am disappointed ... I mean, they did manage to be good until near the end of 2006 - I really didn't think that they would at the end still choose to go with the flow of genericness ... I don't understand why and I'm very disappointed Not even the good artwork they deserve now ... please, you dudes from Leguan, put the cool head on the cover away, it's a symbol for music you don't put on your discs anymore

Out of the blue I'd say SIRA (Sun Is Rising Again) Records

OMG ... you're right! I just test-listened to vol. 23 in the store and really, it has become all full-onish! Shit ... I didn't think they'd go this way ... the latest one I own is vol. 21 and that one is not full on ... a little bit maybe, but not much. At least in comparsion to the latest one. Shit.
