Holy crap! A Death Posture sighting! :clapping: Mdk

I enjoyed this. I think this is one of the most underrated and under appreciated goa albums out there. Good melodies, driving beats, just not as over the top as Pleiadians. Great ride! Mdk

That is super news! And there are only 3 months left in 08, so hopefully it won't get pushed back. Thinking of a Xmas release? What label? Such great news! :clapping: Mdk

I just saw this on their website, and I am very pleased. This label turns everything it touches to gold and for me it is a blind buy. New Blood II The first New Blood gave us Megatron from sHiFt and The Debt from Tickets. Tracklist: 01 : Oblivion - Principles of Flight 02 : Checkmate - Artifakt vs Lost & Found 03 : Enter the Dojo - Rubix Qube 04 : Freejack - Phyx 05 : Root Complex - Cybernetix 06 : Evil Mistress - Tryambaka 07 : Attack of the Moose - E.M.P 08 : Harpsicheek - Tickets 09 : 40 Days - Pitch Hikers And if that wasn't enough, Tickets has a new album coming out as well! Tickets- Dreaming of Places Sweet! :posford: :clapping: :posford: Mdk

Vibrasphere- Floating Free (Vaishiyas Remix) Mdk

Holy Crap this was good. Bay Hall Magic was just that, magic. On Area 51 I didn't really like the key change, but that is a minor nitpick for a powerful track. Fractal Rock City borrows some melody from Kiss' "Detroit Rock City" which is kinda cool but it doesn't really go anywhere. Red Road was released on Golden Vibes III and is a pretty good track with Native American influences. The Filteria remix at the end is a smasher! So all in all this was a great release that keeps the goa spirit alive and well. Well worth the money! :posford: Mdk

I thought it was a full power, overdrive, kick you in the nuts, sledgehammer to the brain psytrance. Nothing that they haven't done before but it is done very well. As far as better full on albums, I would say U-Recken, just because it is deeper and more complex. But for straight power, Wizzy rules. :posford: Mdk

Definitely going to be in the minority here, but I couldn't wait for this collage of noise to be over. I found no emotion in it nor a melody to follow. Just a collection of abrasive sounds with a drum 'n' bass backdrop. Having said that, it's just my taste. Even though I didn't like it, I can appreciate its complexity. For me this is not the kind of CD I can just put on and listen to. Mdk

I hadn't really paid attention to U-recken before his latest album Deeper Into Man. Since that album gets my vote for best of the year, I decided to give this a try. Yaniv is a master at over the top melodies and breaks. He weaves a tapestry with his sounds that can harken back to the good old days. While not as deep as his latest, the production here is stellar. This to me is miles above your generic full on. The singing I could do without, but none of the tracks are unlistenable, and I think if you put this on, you could take a nice journey all the way through. As the reviewer said, the downtempo track is great, and I would love to see him do an ambient album. Very pleased with this. Mdk

This is a great CD! So far my fav is Abyss. Massive, anthemic track. :posford: Mdk

*Drools* Mdk

Very innovative. There were no over the top melodies that made you catch your breath, but one thing I really enjoyed was that there was no trace of cut and paste ideas here. Just when you figure you had the track figured out, bam! it goes in another direction. Great job. Mdk

This was a pretty good EP. Fluoro Neuro Sponge is a classic and very driving. Like mentioned above, Astral Pancakes is a more laid back track. A very enjoyable listen. It's easy to see with this release, as well as the LSD EP and their 2 albums why Hallucinogen was arguably one of the best goa acts. Mdk

Very foresty! The Derango track is superb! :posford: Mdk

Agreed. The EsP project with their two albums have put out some outstanding acid insanity. Gets the blood flowing. Can't wait for the 3rd! Mdk

Welcome aboard Gus! Mdk

What great news! I look forward to seeing how your sound has evolved. Now if we could only get a new Ethereal album in that damn pipeline! :posford: Mdk

Nope, very true. I had never listened to any of his albums before. Of course I knew who he was, but I just never got around to listening to them. I enjoyed it for the most part. Sometimes it was a little too much for me, but I can see why people find new things in the music each time they hear it. Now on to Tales of the Inexpressible! :clapping: Mdk

Amazing chill out ride. Favorites are 3,4,6,8,10,11, 13!!! That is the way to end a comp. Fade away into the setting sun. Bee yootiful Mdk

Just listened to it a couple of times (after having never heard it) because I feel that is how you have to appreciate it. So thick and deep. So many layers that I couldn't get it all in just one or two listens. Not something I would reach for, and some of his sonic choices are a little odd and (gasp) annoying, but I have come to the church of Raja and had quite a nice visit! Mdk

Where did you get that?!?!? How long has it been out? Mdk

Well you can tell there is a lot of intricacy in this work. I wouldn't call it ambient so much as a "melange" of tempo changing downtempo and tribal trance. He really does mix a lot of genres together. I really liked the marching band sound in Divine Moments of Truth. Very tribal. And he ain't afraid of a didgeridoo, is he? Just when I thought that I wouldn't really care for a track, as it evolves, he pulls me in. There are so many layers that I think it requires numerous listens just to take it all in. So my verdict? Very interesting and complex. Music that you have to devote time to to appreciate it. I have ambient that I like a lot more (Ishq and Anahata) but this is like nothing else. This is not a relaxing journey like MOTY is. It's great if I have the time to delve into and want to experience, but not something that would make me say, "Man I need to listen to some Shpongle!" But I'm glad I finally got to listen to it, and I did enjoy it! :clapping: Mdk

So true! You should see how grey the beard is getting! I don't know what took so long, I always knew it was there. Maybe I didn't listen to it because of all the hype that surrounds it. It couldn't possibly be that good, so why be disappointed? I'm on my third listen, and it is growing on me. Mdk

Wow, umm....this is going to take a few repeated listens. Mdk
