Yes, and I took notes...but I'm le tired. No time/energy to list everything at once. However, to deliver something, I'll post a few picks per (loose) genre. Lounge, café jazz and such: D-Echo Project – A Blend Of Nature Bioscape – Living Connection Chaos Control – Miracle Mysterium Mister Chill’R – Lysergic Lullabies (added) Xenflex – Waterfall

I'm OK with the general concept. Tracks have last minute outros, albums can have it too. Structurally it makes a lot of sense. Sometimes I've complained about the approach of slowing a basic stomper down to 100 bpm and calling it downtempo but that's another problem altogether. However, the cliché of downtempo ending becomes more obvious if all other tracks are strictly 8 minutes, 145 bpm each. Especially on artist albums you could do a lot more. Otherwise it's basically just a singles collection. Sometimes there's totally weird shit on albums, let's say, Gas 0095. Even if you don't go completely gimmicky with it, albums provide a chance to do things differently from singles. In other music, there's a strong tradition of 3 min radio hits, whereas the album edit may be 4:30 or considerably more like on PSB - Introspective. (Their first two albums had quite traditional 3-5 min pop tracks only.) In electronic music, albums tend to be closer to 80 mins than the traditional rock lenght of 30-40 so there's plenty of space - even too much for simply repeating the same formula for 70 minutes straight. Go ahead and paint a different picture next time. Put some 20 minute tracks, jazz, poetry or whatever there somewhere, for delicate pacing or just because you can. Anyway, concerning the original topic, I still like how Synthetic Flesh's intro and outro have distinct signatures but they still run at ~140 bpm. On Rock Bitch Mafia, the fluffening is built into a track which starts uptempo. To sum it up, you don't have to pad eight almost identical tracks with yet another which simply has a lower tempo. That's often the true reason why it appears so familiar and overused.

Release Date: 2015-01-30 Finally? I want it.

Happy return! What do Peruvianas taste like?

Should we count Radical Distortion as 2014 or 2015? I think the official CD release date is in 2015. As far as I know, there's no digital release per se, but you could get the files from Bandcamp as preorder bonus already in 2014. It's debatable whether this counts as a release or just early access. I'd include it in my 2015 list (if any) according to the CD date, but splitting its votes over two different polls wouldn't be exactly fair. Any suggestions?

Well...have you tried Boris Blenn?

No idea. I've gone through piles of less known 12"s and such. Plenty of it caused a "seriously?" reaction in about three seconds. That's when I hit 'next' and hopefully forget about the whole thing. As I try to avoid wasting money and/or bandwidth on stuff I don't like, the really bad stuff has mercifully disappeared in the mists of time. Besides, I try to concentrate on the positive side, as hard as it might be. I don't see any dire need for more mud-flinging, bitching and trolling in this scene at the moment.

When/where was the last time?

If only there was some site where you could get the download version immediately...

Should I buy this? I collect plenty of stuff just for the sake of it. I don't hold any particular grudges against AP. I'm genuinely happy that this is finally out. Some of the tracks are quite groovy. However, the mastering is borderline painful. For that reason alone it's unlikely that I'd actually listen to it more than once or later by accident. Decisions.

Flight 604 II Scandi90s: The Horned Helmet's Return a large bag of humppa maybe extras too?

Shakta - Retroscape Warming Freeze

It's quite simple, really. Now let's get back to this horns thing...

Sort of... (The LP was released already in 1994, by the way.)

Androcell - Imbue And yesterday some proper disco (original and re-edits) on 12".

http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/psyshop.com Has your government introduced new laws that ban drug-related music sites and/or buying CDs without the Australia tax?

There is considerable overlap. But concerning the original topic, I'd fancy a Bandcamp option too.

Just one message ago it was 9 tracks, all finished. I suspect something is missing from the Bandcamp page... Also, at least the first track sounds like it's clipping like crazy. Is it just me?

Banco de Gaia - Apollo Andrew Heath - The Silent Cartographer

Asura - Radio Universe Psilocybian - Unfold Oneself into Endlessness Gamayun Tale Goa Energy

I said D5, but experts disagree... On the ambient side, Nordvargr - Interstellar, because allegedly "all soundsources are of non-terrestial origin" on that album.

Drat, I'm not particularly wicked.

Has anyone made a list of the released-ness status of each track? I had some scribbles saying: 1. 12" 2. unr.? 3. unr.? (original: album, Psy-Nergy, Goa-Head 13) 4. unr.? 5. unr.? 6. unr.? 7. 12", a whole bunch of compilations 8. album, 12", Planet-Goa IV 9. unr.? Any better information out there? Exit Eternity is cool but being released at least six times before makes it feel a bit off here...

I don't see any particular problem with introducing new generations to oldschool goa while using the AP brand for visibility. I'm not sure if you've noticed but practically all psy CDs have been single runs of <=1000 copies for years. Represses are rare. Heck, new Filteria albums come in 1000 copies, most Suntrip stuff fewer than that. Good luck getting big bucks for this when even the most reliable market of physical-only oldschoolers are likely to skip it. I'd find the scenario of a few hundred unsold copies a year later more likely than that. Indeed, no rarities here. On one hand it's a missed chance, on the other it makes this safe to skip if you already got everything in the 90s. Not everyone did, though.
