Ticon?

This is posted all over the net and I don't understand anything.

Patternoia and Rollertoaster fuer mich!

I didn't bother listening to it for the third time and the second listen was given only because I thought I might have missed something. Para Halu lost it after Andras left.

Same here, speakers during the day and hp's at night, but I can easily use them for hours, because they're comfortable and ears don't heart (I don't like listening too loud.)

I got myself Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro, which is the same model but opened and they're 250 Ohm. Bass is nice too, though not as wild I guess

Nevertheless it's a label and they posted a promo text in the review section, which is wrong and should be moved to "promo" forum.

No it's not, here's the link, notice the label name and track titles Kalilaskov AS - Killas 2008 (Digital Drugs Coalition, 2008) 01. Eliza Roza 02. Passion 03. Dark Psilosophy 04. Crying Girl 05. Dead Angel 06. Bad girls go to hell 07. Airin rmx 08. Psy Dorados 09. Beethoven's Dragon 10. Radiation Defloration

BTW, these are the same guys that produced under Son Kite alias, if someone didn't know. Also, if you liked the second CD, be sure to check out IMPS - Bring Out The Imps (Mule, 2008) an album they released with Ian Chaplin and Philip Rex, who produce progressive psytrance with their Decoy side-project and who actually are jazz musicians. Music itself is a bit more edgy and experimental. Minilogue's Animals double-album doesn't need any comments, it's essential. Check nice vids @ YouTube:

Eleventh release from Suntrip Records called Sundrops - Light in Motion. As always awesome cover! Warm colors and title also refer to the music, this is exactly my feeling to goa trance at open-airs. As an organizer, we're having "Celebration of the Sun" party every summer in July (an old Slavic holiday) for a few years now and every time it's little rain in the beginning and sunshine flooding the forest in the morning with goa floating from the speakers, people going crazy and smiling with closed eyes. Everything is so orange and warm! This compilation also marks a special period in my life. I've always loved goa but it was Suntrip and Filteria that turned my attention back to the roots in the end of 2004, since then mostly energetic, fast and climatic tracks were played in my dj sets with inclusion of more floaty sound depending on time and atmosphere, time passed and now I prefer sets around 140bpm at the time when the Sun is already shining So I was anxious about this compilation, firstly because of overall feeling it has and the speed of the tracks which would fit my sets very well... and it arrived on Tuesday. Haven't tested those on the dancefloor, but here are my thoughts about how would some tracks fit there: First is Chi-A.D. with a track that makes you look back, played in a morning set it summarizes everything you've experienced at that night, consolidates your thoughts and feelings, I like this kind of nostalgic and confident tracks, they work very good and their ability to touch people is phenomenal! Also, big up for the sound quality, his tracks at Pure Planet 2 and his latest album were pathetic compared to this. I don't know if it's Tim Schuldt we have to thank, but this definitely is the best sq-wise track by Chi-A.D. ever released. Next two tracks are by the old masters California Sunshine and Virtuart & Chronomyst, they date back to 97-98 and 96 respectively, as Anoebis mentioned, the youngest artist on this compilation was 4 years old when one of those was written. New mastering refreshed them, of course, I even thought Virtuart & Chronomyst is a new track, but CS sounds just like 90s. They both are less climatic and more about traveling and diving into yourself. California Sunshine sounds exactly how raw goa-trance sounded ten years ago, fractal images pop-up and this mysterious feeling! This is reward for goa-heads. Virtuart & Chronomyst bring us looong 12 minute track, it never gets boring and monotonous, every second is used effectively. The track begins with a voice saying "Shoulders are relaxed...", you relax and you're instantly taken for a journey through the universe at the speed of light. This indeed is, as some have pointed out, an outstanding epic tune. I can't think of anything better for teleporting people right into deep space and taking them for an excursion The fourth track is produced by Aerosis, our well-known suntrippers. It's focused on exploring the achieved rather than taking you places far away, and fits well after previous "traveling" tracks. No strong climaxes here as you would expect from this kind of tracks, pleasant calm melodies and key changes! Frankly, I'd start changing keys somewhere in the second part, I think that would work better. Aerosis delivers and this is only their second released track. Next up is Artifact303 who totally blew me away with his track released on Suntrip's previous compilation Opus Iridium. His first release was "Trip to the Sun" at VA - Human Hyperactivation in 07, it's was also a very good track, pity it's destroyed by the terrible mastering. So I had high hopes for this one. The track is called "Energy Waves (Positive Mix)" and it's the fastest on the compilation - that basically sums it up Layers of sounds, tons of melodies, wave after wave, you can actually touch the rainbow at some point if you close you eyes. On the other hand it's focused only on feelings and colors, so too much of this wouldn't work in a set. It's also a bit too simple in my opinion, but again, it will make hundreds of people burst with happiness if placed properly in a set. Sixth track by Antares. It turns out he's only 16 years old and seems like he grew on Suntrip's releases, I get the feeling I've heard some sounds before and they remind me Khetzal and Goasia, that doesn't mean it sounds totally like anyone, only few sounds here and there It's a nice addition to the previous number, melodic and energetic, developes pretty well and yet another morning bliss on the compilation! Antares is on my watchlist from now on, this artist looks very promising. Ra is next with calmer track; you can tell it's Ra with closed eyes because of the unique sound they've got. "Gateway Eight" is so peaceful, emotive and deep, it's the sundtrack to those moments when you look into the horizon, forget about your everyday issues and enjoy life. Funny, I gave this compilation about 5 listens and only now fully appreciated this track, it's probably overshadowed by more energetic numbers. I find this sundrop simply beautiful! We finish off with Filteria, "Back to Earth" was available as a sample for some time at his web-site (but was re-recorded prior the release), it's also the slowest track (120bpm). As you would expect, strong synth lines, though not so in-your-face as we've heard on his albums. The track builds up to a nice break in the second part followed with Navigate-like "backwards" effect. Not too sure about it's place in a set (because of bpms) but a very good track and it actually takes you back to earth from the places we've visited I'm fully satisfied with the material, new names were discovered, veterans took us for a ride and, well, we'll have to wait another few months for another installation by Suntrip. Thanks to everyone involved!

"Just a guy with a camera dvd" is an equivalent to "just a guy with a laptop, fruity loops and free vsts producing an album" quality-wise. DVD with the same quality as their releases needs professional work and that costs. It would be interesting, of course But YouTube would be ok for that. That's my opinion, of course. Haven't seen Twisted DVD. DVD Audio 24-bit/96kHz on the other hand is easier to produce, because all you need are source files (afaik artists produce 24/96 tracks which are mastered and converted to 16/44.1 for audio cds, correct me if I'm wrong) and dvd pressing. With blu-ray hitting the market, dvds will get cheaper. I'm wondering why nobody hasn't done this so far, Ultimae being the first on the list - imagine Solar Fields and Aes Dana with that sound quality flowing into your ears Being hit by pirates, they still can't fill the demand and have to re-press their releases... and mp3's would make even less sense with dvd audio. Just my thoughts

DVD with 24-bit 96kHz audio! :posford: that's possible, isn't it? Producing video would be more time and cost consuming.

This is by the way a Ukrainian label with some artists from our country, Alienapia and Zymosis are the same guys, their downbeat album will be released on Sunline Records soon. Seen them live and it rawked! Watch out

Wat? o_O Received the CD yesterday but I felt bad and sleepy so started listening today, Aerosis #4 just started, will post more comments later

Definitely a subculture, and a very closed one here in Ukraine, we even joke that we're a religious sect Everything changes though, more people come in, some go out. Everybody's more dark-oriented in general. I think that our subculture gets damaged by the "cultural inflation" and the reason for this is it's closeness - it was beautiful inside but got invaded by not-ready-for-it people. I'm sure the balance will come in the near future

Looks interesting, something rather different from the usual isra-blasters piu-piu. As I haven't lost my hope in french full on headed by Silicon Sound, will check this one for sure Thank for the review. Allaby first

How is new Kaya Project and Mystical Sun? Pls write your opinions on the "comments on latest cds" thread

Still Dreaming... This album is simply different to everything in the psy scene today and I can't understand all the bashing. Original, melodic, light, bright, positive and very musical. I'm sure Goran achieved his aim, thanks for that. If you remember, the album had to be released a year ago (if not two) - it would probably make more effect then. On the other hand, there may have been more people disappointed by this not being the second chapter to the first album. Early to say, but it looks like to be one of those albums that I'll always have a pleasure of listening to with a smile on my face.

What I liked since 2006 without already known names. Downbeat: Slackbaba - And The Beat Goes Om (2006, Liquid) Chronos - Steps to the Great Knowledge (2006, Sunline) Liquid Stranger - The Invisible Conquest (2007, Interchill) Outolintu - Odd Man Out (2007, Fairy Dragon) (Haltya side-project) Polyploid - Grow Your Own (2007, Chill Tribe) Pushmipulyu - 133 Thursdays (2007, Interchill) Sundial Aeon - Apotheosis (2007, Flow) Psytrance: Nuclear Ramjet - Mission To Sedna (2006, Spaceport) Tetrameth - Psychological Pyrotechnics (2006, Zenon) Shadow FX - Direct Influence (2007, Zenon) Trold - Time Of Illusion (2007, Glowing Flame) Troll Scientists - Useless Science (2007, Space Boogie) OK, it's hard to remember all of them, so I suggest checking "Best of" threads for 2006 and 2007!

I know they'll get released Phototropic, Jeka wrote on our forum.

Nagual Sound Experiment - Invisible Movements (Liquid, 2007) Recommended to all the cosmic dub warriors out there Pretty eclectic well produced dub, just what I was looking for. He also produces under Mood Deluxe alias.

Sunstation is kind of russian net-label, and this definitely is a promo text.
