oh crap, a Tiesto thread! now we have to decontaminate the forum

$25 AUSSIE? that is ... ummm ... LESS THAN 15 EUROS!!! 6 live acts for less than 15 Euros and you DARE even to THINK about questioning if you should go or not - at this cheap price? I have already paid 15 Euros for only one live act. And I'd pay 15 Euros again, just to see Banco De Gaia alone! So get your ass there, I already envy you enough anyway

awww ... I too am always worried that things get lost in the mail That's really crap if things get lost ... I mean, you are the one who in the end pays for something that you don't even get. I'm always so worried ... that's why I hate online ordering ... but sometimes I have no choice... I hope for you that the CD will arrive ... maybe it got lost somewhere in a depot and one month later they'll come across it and send it, who knows... I haven't ordered it yet. That Saikosounds order has cost me so much

Hey, Mike! I'd like to participate! My contribution: before: after: was that done right?

Xavier Rudd - Fourth World I want to be in Cappadocia right now this music reminds me of there...

Yeeha, I won too BIG BIG THANKS! To everybody making this possible! Thank you sooo much, you made my day!!! PM sent I'm very curious about the album

I forgot to mention Taruna ... you could like that one as well...

Goa Trance vol. 9 ... the 2CD solo album by Ingmar Veeck

I prove you wrong I love some Eat Static tracks ... but some others I don't get at all

Some Klangstrahler Projekt could fit maybe... (I would have suggested Chilling Matenda, but that might not be your style ... although you practically can't go wrong with anything chill...)

Eat Static... I can't describe what I feel for those guys. On the one side I love Eat Static, some of their tracks are incredible. But others are not, I don't get some of their tracks (it's geting better though, but still...) and seen from that side Eat Static are really not special to me Can't describe it better - I love them on one side, but on another side I don't get their music at all... Don't have this with any other artist.

changing name of general section? why should anybody do that? I don't think it's necessary...

I agree that in many cases it doesn't matter to me who compiles because the music's gonna be fullon, no matter. In those cases (and when it's somebody totally unknown to me) I agree that it's just useless. However, in some cases it can be quite cool. Because some DJs/artists have a nice style. For example if Atmos or Matenda would compile a compilation I'd surely be interested in it because I can be sure it won't be crap what's on there, even if I know none of the artists/tracks on the compilation. I have a compilation "compiled by DJ Seth" (Seth is Setherian) ... I like Setherian, that's why I bought the comp - and it's not bad at all. But when it's just another fullon stomper I don't care...

Well, while it is true that some of the best music is not some of the newest ... and thus I understand what you mean, I'm still the one that eagerly awaits the latest releases in some cases. Take for example S-Range (yeah, again ). There was no sound quite like that before his time. I can dig back into the past as far as I want, I won't find it, yet I'm very enthusiastic about just this type of sound. So yes, in this case I care a lot about newest releases. Or take Etnoscope. Is there anything as tibal and energetic, anything music-wise quite like the stuff those guys produce? There might be a lot of stuff that might head in the same direction, but it's all not quite like it. So yes, I'm eagerly awaiting their newest album. Same was with Carbon Based Lifeforms' new album (yes, planning to get that one soon, now I have spent all my money on Saikosounds ). There's nothing quite like them. I can listen to Jean Michel Jarre, but this music is not a substitute. It's something different just in the same way as CBL are not a substitute for Jean Michel Jarre for me! Old stuff is surely nice ... but it's better when something new comes out. Because the old stuff, it doesn'trun away from me, I can tumble over it a week later too ... but new albums, when they are not released they not gonna be released and I won't ever be able to come across them...

Front Line Assembly - Mental Distortion I chose this one because it's one of their best tracks IMO (and because it's currently playing - I'm listening to the Monument album thing right now). Aggressive, fast, distorted yet rhytmic and with a lot of progression and good synths and electronics - industrial EBM at its best for me

... Ale as we know him YES. and on topic: 3/5 I'd say. There is a load of crap out there, yes, especailly full on but also some other ... but if you look around you will really find some decent stuff. It just depends. If you draw a line (and exclude the crappiest craps ) you have a solid 3 IMO. I voted for that.

if I was sick I'd listen to chill music ... like Chilling Goddess compilation (out on Peak records) or something like that... Or Healer. I guess Healer would heal me

I still wouldn't like it. Already the thought makes me nervous. Or you don't even need to steal it - if only anybody would snatch my credit card number ... damn, that could already cost me a fortune ... in fact that is even more dangerous than when it gets stolen ... oh no no

I have none of those albums except the Vibrasphere one. I'd be very happy if I could get Jikkentekki's Long Walk Home ... have heard many positive statements about it and still don't know it, so it would be very cool if I could get one of them 10 And a big thank you for giveaways like this to us - no matter whether I get anything or not

Well, yeah, time for credit card, huh? But I don't want one! What if I can't restrain myself from buying and buying (I'm afraid I can't ... once I got money I'll buy and buy...)? Or what if it gets stolen? they got a bank account in the UK...

Okay, I'm very pissed off. VERY. And I'm not even pissed off at Saiko Sounds themselves, in fact they actually aren't responsible for any of this. I just want to illustrate, since we had a pretty heaty discussion with mister Radi about the money that psy shops charge you for shipping/COD/whatever. My own experience: Note how the shipping price is almost as high as the price I pay! And I have chosen Airmail btw, not courier! I know that vinyls cost more shipping, but that's quite a lot, ey? But that was not the real point why I meade that thread here. I know, shipping is a lot, but I knew that before, I could have cancelled the order. But I accepted it and didn't do anything. But now here it comes: The total amount above translates to EUR 35,36 ... nothing bad here, but now listen: I have been at the bank just right now. And guess what I have paid in total! Are you sitting? Because here is the amount: 56,21 EUROS!!! :o Did you read that? 56,21 EUROS! Hellooo? That is 74,888583 U.S. dollar!!! I FREAKIN' PAID MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MUCH AS THE NET PRICE AT SAIKOSOUNDS! They don't even SEE two thirds of that money! And now you see why I can't even be pissed at them Saikosounds dudes, they don't even have anything to do with this - I still wrote it to them, they should know! It's the bankas! Money transfer to the UK! Costs! A lot! Not like other EU countries where it's for free (so I thought), no, no! Damn suckers! I really am pissed off now Yes. I really am DAMN pissed off now! Which is why I made that thread here right now, because I don't want others to get as pissed off as I am now! I WARN you, it's freakin' expensive when you have no credit card! Any other experiences like this? Please don't make me feel so alone and ripped off now, I'm really angry and sad now and actually I made that order to have fun, not to be pissed off ... I really didn't think it would be that bad

I know, they are in Austria and would be the ideal shop to order, but they didn't have the stuff I wanted, Saikosounds have it

good cheese fullon? try new S-Range

Eeeh ... wait ... now there are more differences ... have they been here before and I didn't notice or are they new? I now think it looked better as it was earlier...
