    . I don't konw to attract female members especially. But as far as I can tell the forum is not very sexistic or in any other way negative so I wouldn't know what to change.

     

    Pink layout, unicorns and stuff? :D

    Favorite Filteria album?

    It's "Daze Of Our Lives" for me.

     

    And that is mainly because of "Eyeless Observatory", as is it an acid thunderstorm in my ears. It's one of my favorite tracks ever and one of the few tracks that I can actually headbang to because it's so powerful.

    Listen to music Intoxicated

    in Off Topic

    How did you even survive consuming this amount of alcohol for such a prolonged period of time?

     

    Your questions:

    - No.

    - No.

    - Depends on "being wasted". If it means absolutely totally drunk/intoxicated, then yeah, maybe a few times (Alcohol/other stuff). If it means "drinking a whisky while listening", then absolutely yes.

    - Yes, maybe two or three times :) But I danced more often while being totally sober, basically on an everyday basis hehe.

     

    It always depended on me being engaged with a girl or not. If I was engaged, then usually those moments were fewer in number. I wonder what it would be like having a girlfriend who likes the music, likes drinking whisky/beer, likes dancing like a fool as much as I do.

     

    Being in public intoxicated is a thing I don't like. For example, returning from a party in daylight is always unpleasant for me, especially if you're not a young college student anymore. There's also the risk of being seen by colleagues or something like that, so I try to avoid those moments.

     

    It's kinda weird, because it's socially perfectly acceptable if you're drunk (intoxicated) at company events, but if you're being seen outside of the company environment it's like "Oh he's having a problem" kinda thing. But maybe that's only my impression. I'd like to spend more time having fun like a fool, but I guess I'm getting to old for this...people who I grew up with are not into "partying" any more, so it's becoming more and more difficult.

    Tracks and albums that are like watching a movie

    Imho all albums by Cybernetika, although I like "The Scythe of Orion" and "Nanospheric" the most.

     

    Every album has a background (story) setting. Check them out, for free:

    Very strong sci-fi images in those!

     

    As a single track, this one is outstanding imho

    Finally added something to my NAD 316BEE + Dali Zensor 5 setup. I figured that I will possibly never have the money or space, or neighbours, to experience the music in the way I'd like to, so I decided to go for some headphones.

    Bought these:

     

    AKG Q701 Quincy Jones

    http://eu.akg.com/akg-product-detail_eu/q701blk.html

     

    Those came at a bargain price, that's why I kept them. I'll probably use them for casual listening or for video games.

     

    I read a lot of good things about STAX headphones and almost bought the SR-507 set. Would cost about 3000€, but I had to travel to Japan for work and could have bought them for little more than a third of the European price.

    Before travelling to Japan I had the chance to listen to The Beyerdynamic T1, Sennheiser HD800, Hifiman HE-560, AKG 812 Pro, the STAX and the Audeze range of headphones.

     

    After extensive listening and thinking about my budget, I went for the Audeze LCD-2, paired them with a Lehmann Audio Rhinelander.

    Now I was really surprised that I went for the Audeze, which are sometimes referred to as "The Prince of Darkness", due to their sound character.

    I always thought that I'd prefer a light, analytic, somewhat "clinical" sound, i.e. very good mids and especially highs over a warm sound. I listened to the STAX range and the Sennheiser HD800 and while I was blown away by the clarity of their sound, they somehow lacked the...I don't know how to say it...maybe joy? certainly they couldn't keep up in the bass range.

     

    Especially EDM (Goa, Psytrance, Forest, Downtempo, Psychill) was so much more fun with the Audeze. Soundtracks and classical music was better on both the STAX and HD800, but I always wanted to come back to the Audeze for the sheer joy of it. Basses are superb, with high quality mids and highs. If they could just have a little bit more sparkle in the highs, I'd be super glad. I tried the LCD-X and they are phenomenal, but just more expensive than I am willing to pay right now. For now I am super happy and even my girlfriend, who was very skeptical, said that it's like rediscovering music you thought you'd knew.

     

    She's not into Goa or Psy or Forest (likes psychill though) and she said, that it's a pity that probably a lot of people won't hear all the stuff that's going on in the tracks. I showed her some tracks by Goch, Dohm, Ajja, Astral Projection, E-Mantra, AuroraX, The Infinity Project, Koan, Psy-H Project, Crossing Mind and so on...she didn't even want to stop and was smiling while listening :)

    @astralprojection:

     

    Thank you :wub:;)

     

    @rotwang:

    Somehow super sophisticated. I'm not saying that I am "disappointed", but maybe because of your obvious intellect I suspected someone looking more like this

    "V/A - Aurora Sidera"

    in 2015

    I am with anoebis on the top-3-compilations-thing, but I have to stress that Celestial Intellgence's track is absolutely outstanding. Listening to it on a proper soundsystem or earphones is pure bliss.

    Crop Circles' Lunar Civilization is stellar, especially the Pleiadinans remix. I tried to explain to friends what imo aliens' dance music would sound like and showed them that track. All of them were stunned that it's already that old...it still sounds like the future to me.

    mfg are very mind moving

    Radi is still active in PC hardware forums, but doesn't seem to bother about Struma highways, steep mountains, skinny girls or :o goa tance right now. I always respected his passion about "the" music. Passion about anything is rarely to be found with my peeps. So yeah, I kinda miss him :)
