home is where the party is
I love the freedom of being able to do whatever I want without fear of some sort of social rejection
and also, living in California - there simply are not that many great parties around where I live
so I have to make it up as I go along
too bad, because I would not mind the occasional party or even a club that plays good music
-
the label should be blamed for a bad cover (most of the time).
Indeed. Probably the case most of the time. Some times the labels just push something particular regardless of the sentiments of the artists.
And we all know that the labels (or at least label management) don't always have the best taste because they simply are not artists.

I really enjoy the entire art experience of a record
and while the cover doesn't directly change the music, I do have certain expectations for what I hear
associated with what I see on the cover. Especially when there is nice psychedelic artwork on the cover.
Just as an appreciator of the whole music experience in general, I'd say I really enjoy everything
from the music to the cover to the liner notes etc.
Bravo to the artists who strive to have representative art to match the style or mood they were looking to convey with the music
but by the same token, nothing taken away from the artists who do not put a premium on cover art.
Some albums I love a lot don't really have much in the cover department in my opinion (like the self titled 1200 Mics, or Alien Protein)
>2 of my all time faves btw.
Anyway - I don't think it's a silly topic - I enjoy all music / art / psy related discussion - its good for the mind.
and +1 for dark music - I'm really starting to love so much more and more of the darkpsy stuff.
Though I kinda dig tons of music these days - and really look forward to seeing how the music matches the art.

looks to be a pretty good year for goa
still a lot of months left in the year, and hopefully some nice surprises still coming
I remain hopeful
enjoying merr0w, filteria, solar spectrum, apsy, minoru and a few others (yes I know a bit of prog stuff here,
but I'm a fan of a wide base of stuff)
also really enjoying dark ozz, disco hooligans, side liner and psykovsky new records
support it all I say, lest I have to start mixing the stuff myself!
thanks to all djs and compilers everywhere
cheers 2009!

anything you can do to not use iTunes is what I would recommend
apple has nice hardware but the software is unbelievable bullshit
plus, and for the life of me I just do not know why, but they still refuse to support FLAC
I know they have their own ALAC format, but cmon, get with the times already...
enough anti-apple soapboxing... sorry
I would get an iRiver or something that has a simple media player on it where you can just drag and drop files
and not have to use some conduit software
the Archos are nice as well I've heard, but I think they are large and expensive
still, I would not go with bullshit garbage iTunes no matter what
the user should be allowed to have control over the way they use their music without the nonsense
anyway...
happy hunting
(PS - I still often times just record vinyl (or CD) to tape and use a portable cassette player - really brings back the romance of making mix tapes--
>not to mention the analogue sound quality is very nice and cassette players can be small and cheap as well)
-
everyone stop hatin'
support the artists and stop worrying about who puts who on what chart
besides, it's not anyone's fault if they end up being popular
show some love, like what you like, and don't worry what someone else thinks of it
love AP, the Filteria record is nice and I do hope there is a real Goa revival
anyway - my 2 cents
peace

Really dig your mix my friend. Well done. Love the darkpsy stuff - keep up the good work.
Cheers

IMO
Goa-This includes all styles of Goa (Old School, New School, Nitzho etc.)
Full On-This includes all styles of Full On (Poppy, Israeli, SA, Dark, Hard etc.)
Progressive-This includes Tectrance too since IMO most of them sound Proggy in my ears. Also minimal, trancey, housey psy etc.
Darkpsy-This includes Forest, Russian style, Psycore, Horror etc.
Experimental-Suomi, Australian, genres fusion, weird stuff
Ambient/Downtempo-From beatless ambient to Shpongle
and just plain Psytrance-For everything else, like MEEO for example or the old IM.
I tend to agree with this kind of system because less is better. Not sure how people are supposed to navigate the scene with 50 million genres.
Thanks for making it simple and organized.

Future Sound Of London vs Shpongle

I really like both, but gun to my head and I have to choose - I take FSOL
just have always had a spot in my heart for them.
Tough choice - great question.
