  1. One album, that immediately came to my mind, was Cybernetika's "Nanospheric".

     

    "Both universe and infinitesimal particle, the Nanospheric is an abstract construct beyond our imagination and comprehension. It is a machine deity, that forms matter in its own will."

     

    That pretty much sums it up, at least for me. Listening to this album is just a great experience and to me, it's the spaciest record there is. Why spacy? Because as far as I am concerned, space is cold, dark, huge, techy, full of mysteries, emptiness, yet sometimes colorful, warm and filled with marvels of all kind. Space traveling, especially flying through space on your own, maybe in "Silver Surfer" style, I imagine to be much like this album sounds. Yes, it's the Silver Surfer album, so to say. And speed, yes, it creates the sensation of traveling at the speed of light, being weightless. Listen to it through headphones and you'll know what I mean. Damn, I seriously need some kind of audiostrobe or mind machine to listen to this and expand the experience even further! Anyways, "Nanospheric" is a masterpiece.

     

    Second album would be RA, "9th".

     

    The reasons are obvious: deserts, sand, p(s)yramids, Egypt...everything in sonic form. Awesome, awesome.

     

    Merr0w - Born Underwater is another concept album I truly love. Mysterious water worlds, submarine creatures, lost civilizations...there's a lot to discover :)

     

    And what about U-Recken's "Deeper Into Man"? An album about the spirit of nature and mankind, a voyage through evolution with such a perfect track to end it (As The Flower Withers)...again: awesome, awesome.

     

    //Edit: Two things I almost forgot, one of them being so obvious, that I didn't think about it:

     

    Pleiadians - I.F.O. - What can I say?

     

     

    The other one is not a concept album, as it's only one track, albeit a very special one, a concept track, so to say.

     

    Psykovsky vs. Deja Vu Project - Only Love (We Will Take)

     

    I won't say it's the best track ever made, as for me, it's not possibly to say that. But this track is the most interesting one ever made, period. 20 minutes of sheer goodness, a journey through different states of mind, different cultures (samples from Japanese classic theatre, chants by monks), quiet moments, situations of increasing pressure and tension...it's hard to describe. I can only urge everyone to listen to this one, as it is totally unique - and that says a lot.

  2. Windows user, I switched to AIMP2 a while ago. I think it's an excellent player, supports a lot of codecs out of the box, supports shoutcast and icecast, has a nice library, advanced tag editor, can read cue files of your own mixes, has great skins and so on.

  3. Very juvenile display I must say.

     

    You're talking about one of the pioneers who DJ'd in Goa back in the day when the Goa as is widely known didn't even exist,

    but was music made from all kinds of sounds taken from different generes and pieces of tape cut and taped back together into something different and DJ'd at parties...it was years later

    that the artists you mention ended up getting influenced by that and the vibe at those parties to make it sound what it ended up being known as "Goa Trance".

     

    To say "he just eat shit" and is a "traitor of Goa" is very disrespectful and shows how clueless and immature you are.

     

     

    PS If anything is shit and waste of my time and money, it is the Goatronika comp you compiled.

    Talk about an utter rubbish of a wannabe CD that bring zero innovation to the table, yet somehow gets hyped all over the net.

     

    Well put. Except for that Goatronika part, because the compilation is quite good. Nothing groundbreaking of course, but good.

  4. Ok, I'll try again :)

     

    Digicult - The Way In

    Sycaddict - Dreams and Hallucinations

     

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nr8VdyjInU

     

     

    Also, again I recommend to listen to the various releases by Vibraddict, Exodus, Exoaddict, Sycmos, Sycaddict, Sidharta. A lot of them can be found on youtube, e.g.

     

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7_zQH1tRQ8

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJIvJzySCvU

     

    For example, Vibraddict has released the "Mental Collapse" album, and another good release would be the compilation "VA - Impact Vol. 1" or "Enigmatic World Portugal".

  5. I don't know if these are the style you're looking for, but they immediately sprang to my mind:

     

    Psychotic Micro - Take Over

     

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azHfcA715Gg

     

    Psywalker - Some Kind Of Spaceship

    Double R.E.L. - Sawlead Moment

     

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4iBKlIvDzc

     

     

    Khopat vs. Sidharta - Beyond Messure Of Control

     

     

    Also, the likes of Phyx, Shift, Winter Demon, Toxic, Khopat, Sidharta, Technodrome...basically stuff that's released on Timecode, Yabai, some 3D Vision (Absolum, Azax Syndrom).

     

    Personally, I like almost all Wildthings releases and to me, they are pure energy.

    ,

  6. Admitted, the last releases were not that great, except for the 2009 Remix of Jarre's Oxygen, I absolutely loved that one and it was by far the best on that remix album. I mean, when I was a child, I listened to JMJ because my parents listened to it back then. Maybe that was even my first contact with electronic music, and now AP made such an awesome remix. In my dreams I can see JMJ and AP perform together in La Defense...man, it would be unbelievable. Thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

  7. I love how the Delay Lama makes it to almost every goa release these days. Appears on Fear and Anger in this release. That little dude sure gets around. Great release!

     

    Delay Lama? Is that some kind of VST or what? :)

     

    Anyways, glad you liked it!
