So... anyone interested in organizing a podcast?

Ghreg On Earth & Encephalopatycis :clapping: :posford:

When will we hear your new set, btw?

Also, I was thinking... lets get another ad to the forum and pay him. Seriously speaking, check the number of reviews here in 2007, it's on the same level as 1998. We have to do something. I'm thinking about writing reviews, but I'm having a hard period in my real life, so not now.

People say he posts to a special forum that only members with 8000+ posts can see. Also, I met a dude at a party lately, he said that his neighbor's gardener knows DP's sister, she states that DP sold his CD collection and bought an island in the Caribbean. Well, who knows? But we miss him and his reviews

That's from VA - Twist Dreams (Suntrip). He had to release his album like a year ago...

What did you expect from this guy? )

Exactly. But combine intellectual talk with good psytrance music/culture knowledge and you've got the best psytrance program evargh.

I don't listen to radio (any), never. I like selecting and discovering new artists, labels and releases by myself, so listening to discovered-by-myself music takes all my time and I haven't found an equivalent in a form of radio - is it a broadcast of random tracks, live dj sets or, well, anything in psytrance world. If you are thinking about starting one (and I think you are) - that's an awesome idea, but you'll have to take care of quality, user-friendliness and promotion. Broadcasting live online isn't really interesting, that's why we've got podcasts, you could catch more audience, because you understand that you will have much less listeners at a particular time than the ability to listen to a podcast at any time. Haven't seen any professional psytrance-related podcasts. I was thinking about starting one for our local community, but my knowledge, experience and equipment doesn't let me to do it now, so maybe in the future. I'd appreciate, along with interviews, news, release reviews, etc., flashbacks from the past with tracks and events that influenced psy-scene, history of genres and their evolution. That would be interesting for the audience and with time you could get well over 1000 listeners per podcast if everything works out fine. Now imagine some adSense there that would cover the costs of, at least, a good microphone and hosting

We should have a Ban jhankri vs some other psynews member poll then

I know I was trying to say that if he doesn't like this album that doesn't mean their collab would be bad.

Oh! Haven't heard Goasia yet and there's another pearl coming soon ) Merrow and Cosmic Silence would fit well I think, anyway looking forward. Thanks, guys!

Why?

After the first listen I got associations with Human Blue. Not that Magnus tries to be or copies Dag. Will give a few listens more. ...but imagine Solar Fields and Human Blue collaboration, wouldn't it be awesome?

Oh something faster this time Nice.

Read this review yesterday, checked the samples and realized how different our tastes are sometimes. Will have to check "longer" samples, but it's nothing special now.

Nice track you've got there Thank you!

Not sure I'll even bother listening to the samples. Their last listenable album was released 4 and a half years ago.

I'm yet to hear this album, hope you sent some copies to our guys - Overdream and Saikozaurus

Is that you? )

Hey! Is this goa or not? Not too much free traffic left, so.. )

No, I'm just saying what did you (they) expect from Filipe after his background. And for me all this Meta hype was all over after their posts here and I thought there was no difference between any Meta member. I'm pretty happy I was wrong.

Why a compilation - no, and an album - yes? Untold Stories and Pandemonium are 2 different things. You can be an asshole, but it's your priority as an artist to do what you want to do. I agree with a statement saying Filipe changes his mind faster than you can say Boom Shankar. If you deal with this kind of person, who's problem is it? Also, this is business. You can't apply a hippy-communistic model to it, because it just won't work. The Phototropic guy had the ability to release an album on a label, sorry, but a real label! You could have written another album, a better one and sell it to him, but no, he just took it out of Meta. It ended up on p2p networks. Considering your second statement, I'm sure that's not possible with any other artists and projects, only with Lost ones

Well, yeah. C'est la vie. If tomorrow a rich guy pops up and has an intention to release a compilation featuring some artists and the artists themselves go for it, why do you consider it to be strange? Artists send their demos and the guy buys the rights for these tracks, simple as that. Considering the situation with artists producing goa nowadays and having almost no chance releasing it, that's an awesome idea. I haven't met a producer that thinks that releasing his tracks is bad and getting paid is even worse. Of course, there are close relationships between some artists and labels, they are helping each-other. Respect is important indeed. But who knew that someone is going to release something at some place? I didn't. Was there any kind of Official Public Announcement broadcasted by BBC and CNN? Was there any kind of a contract signed? Who, where from and how should anyone know that LB is going to release an album @ Meta? If there was an intention by LB to release his album @ Meta, he promised his friends that he will and then changed his mind, it's a problem of respect or whatever by one of these sides, what does Phototropic has to do with it? You have to thank them that we will have more goa released.

I think that's exactly what a label manager has to do - make offers. But it's totally up to an artists to decide what to do with an offer. I don't know what deals they had between Meta and Filipe, and I don't care, but I can't see why Phototropic in any way is doing dirty tricks.
