that's noise music noise music has some weird track titles and stuff ... it's extreme music afterall like Brighter Death Now - You Got Sperm On Your Jacket (I Know 'Cause It's Mine)

Harhar ... I gotta do it again: Last concert: KORPIKLAANI! Yesterday. Finnish Humppa Folk Metal! It was so damn awesome ... the support acts were a bit tough to endure since there is no support act that plays this style in an even remotely similar way, so everybody was standing around bored - until it was time for KORPIKLLANI! LOL, people were moshing already even before the music started to play It was so great. Undescribable. Insane. You can compare the grade of insanity with psy, but not the type. It's a different one. A folkish finnish humppa madness! Moshing, jumping, screaming, drinking, sweating. I was sweating like a madman. It was incredible. I was so dead. But it was so great. I probably got double the amount of endorphines I normally get while just dancing around. Insane. So great. Drank two litres of water later that evening, so died out was I. Killargh! Of course my mate and me later waited for the band almost an hour to get our posters signed ... but we got it in the end Today everything hurts - arms, legs, my spine ... I got kicks and elbow checks into every part of the body. And my head feels really heavy and hurts like a bitch. But it was great fun, I'd never wanted to miss that! Best non-psy gig 2006, definitely. Nothing can top Korpiklaani

Harhar "So you cut us the ability to charge for our music? That's not a problem. We give it away for free then! It's pirated anyway." I like that way of thinking. Really

a classic indeed although I liked some of his later stuff better ... but anyway

Hey, that's very nice news aswell

Yeah, I do know ... every Carbon Based Lifeforms track I know (and that is nearly everyone) is great work But the teaser is only presenting such a short excerpt of each track which makes getting into it hard and the experience lacks ... some of them sound indeed quite good, yeah, but overall this thing didn't really kick me off the chair as I expected, you know. Anyway, I'll wait for the full one

ach, you mean this one ... I thought you meant a real big one yeah, you're right though, that one isn't impressive. but I know CBL ... they are my favourite ambient group, they won't be shit, I know it ... I put my trust in them

audio piece?!?!? where, where???

Good News!!! thought I'd share that: http://www.ultimae.com/en/releases/208/index.html

Absolutely right. But I understand the other guy ... DJ stands for "DiscJockey", meaning a person that mixes tracks from discs (yeah, vinyl is also a disc in this case - a bigger one, but nevertheless). Strictly seen you shouldn't include laptops or other stuff - it must be discs (and no harddisks!). In the future I think this word should adapt to the modern world ... like MJ ("MultimediaJockey") or whatever... BTW, "Jockey" sounds damn gay

I know every DJ set will be unique (and it better be like that, because the uniqueness is good!), but you can't deny you have a style, a general vague prediction what kind of music style the audience can expect when you make a set. For example I doubt that DJ Slater from Tribal Vision will suddenly come up with killargh Skazi fullon blast when he normally spins totally different stuff And you might be right, the main problem probably lies more in this "same formula" thing of the music, which basic elements are easy to copy for wannabes...

Argh ... Ritual Om, you bastard! Yes I've heard of a Twisted party but didn't check out the lineup (why should I bother when I can't go to London anyway) ... now thanks to you I did and now I envy all that go there and hate myself for not living there. That's probably the last chance to see the legends and I can't Thanks for making me want to jump out of the window today, Ritual (just kidding, mate ... but I now really pity not being able to be there...)

no... no, seriously... I hate that track You know what I think is a good fullon track? Space Buddha - Acid Prophecy. Kicks. seriously

this is Psynews, my friend (almost) fullon-free territory

I don't know who it was, but I definitely saw once such a laptop guy. Came on the stage, plugged his laptop in, logged on, pressed a few keys and that was it. Music was playing and tracks were mixing, he didn't do jack shit. Was just standing there, almost dancing. It was just boring. And the music was fullon ... lame, cheesy and overplayed. This was the worst DJ gig I ever saw. To avoid this in the future I since try to come to the parties shortly before the liveacts start to play and leave immediately afterwards. Don't care about the DJs anymore unless I know their peculiar sound and go there because I want to hear their sets (and then I don't even mind if he just plays it from the lappie, I wanna hear the music and am curious for what new tracks he will spin)... And Krell, you're right, the software makes things easy and lets room for the DJs to focus on other things and be more creative and make even richer sets. All good, really, but on the other hand it also opens the gates wide for posers who don't have a clue and litterally can only press a button and let the software do the rest and try to be cool when they in fact can do nothing (and even then they make mistakes like they press a wrong button and the sound suddenly is gone and they just can shrug their shoulders ... not very impressive) - and this is something I clearly do not want.

Sounds interesting. You will make big list will ya? you like Ulver so much that you keep it? You should buy one of those:

nice I don't think they can sue you for copyrights - as long as you don't openly sell them at least. If they're just for you I wouldn't worry

Ask them if they know about the sniffing proggie Ethereal

Absolutely seconded And I would add Tegma - Around The World In 80 Minutes (Tribal Vision) to the list too! Well, these three. Those are my best of 2006 of now. Nothing more. And as S-Range's new piece will most likely wait for a release forever I don't think anything will be added until the end of the year either. Case closed for me

wow, this is a great link ... it's exactly the sound I searched for ... I love Tribal Vision ... you just made my afternoon

seconded

The bassline is not what annoys me so much. I even like some fullon stuff - and it has that bassline: Silicon Sound for example ... Pure Analog was good! The reason why I am so annoyed by Fullon nowadays is the overall kiddie naive atmosphere that comes with it! The stupid vocals, the overplayed effects, the annoyingly naive melodies! I mean, last time I was on a psy party and they were playing this commercial fullon I was thinking I was on a fucking SCOOTER venue running at double pitch or something like that (and I even insult Scooter when I compare it this way, because Scooter are still bad in a funny way to me, this is just sad though)! It was AWFUL! This was not psy! This was even worse than the by me so hated chav trance music I used to listen to before I came here! Horrible! At that moment the overplayed bassline was the lessest evil to me, I tell ya! I'd be as happy as I can be if the melodies and effects are decent and intelligent and if there are no vocals. That's heaven for me - in times like those

Yeah, that's some good work, Xerxes ... I remember that recommendation about a year ago or so. Prage is your best song imo ... still like it a lot

The latest one now has been Disastrous Murmur. Yesterday! It was a really cool show I must say ... I actually liked their stuff very much for me actually not being into this type of Death Metal/Grindcore music! The stuff was so trashy and had groove, it really got me going. And the grunting was just fun. Seriously positive surprise for me! And the best thing is that the show was for free because it was their new album release party! In the basement of some metal bar here in Vienna ... they really rocked ... even the sound was very okay because of good equipment (that's very unusual for free shows, you know, normally you only get deaf 'n' drunk) ... and it was a very cosy and close atmosphere, just like real underground. Liked it very much! And I also got pretty drunk. Have had a bad hangover today

That was Echotek. Last month. On Earthdance day. Was quite nice, although already very close to fullon. And the DJs before and after him were only playing ultra terrible kiddy full on. I was so lucky to live near the location ... I knew the music would be awful and only wanted to see Echotek, so I slept until past two in the night, then got up, dressed and went to the location. I was there at half past two, Echotek should play at three. I spent the half an hour of awful kiddy full on ("We gonna run, run, run to the cities of the future..." - yes, they played it - a fullon version of it!) to get drunk. Then finally Echotek came. I thought if I wouldn't see him this time, next time he'd most likely only be even more fullon, so I went. And yeah, it was quite nice - nice visuals I must say, the VJ did a good job, it was in sync to the music and effects Three hours was the Echotek set, I left immediately afterwards.
