the goa constrictor

Yeah. Agreed 😃

And don't forget Prometheus! I was wondering why he was announced but not on the line up after you just posted this. Looks like it was a website error. He's back on it 😃 So excited for this one

So excited. Gonna be an epic one for the books 😃

lololol Believe me, I was not expecting to get to listen to it early and was very nervous about how I was gonna feel about it. It really hit the right notes for me that morning and while I do like Rue overall as a singer, I am very glad this has a mix of new voices and stuff without vocals too. 😃

I've been doing this since the 90s and was a respected reviewer between 2000 -> 2015ish People trust me.

Yeah. Excellent points and I have NO idea. Hadn't really through all of this through and am still trying to figure out how deep down this rabbit hole I want to go down and I very much appreciate your input and addressing this issues. 😃

The new Younger Brother album is really fucking good. A few massively solid tracks that stand out even amongst an album with no weaknesses. Ticking in the Attic and Endless Drift just hook and capture you It's a truly wonderful journey of an album and is sooooo nice to have them back with new music after such a long absence. They've been very missed and this is the comfort music I've been needing in my world these days. ❤️

I know I'm a bit late to this discussion but I am always pro-owning your own server and owning your own data. I really really hate what Meta (Facebook) and Alphabet (Google) have done to the internet and our communities. I truly love the idea of the Federated Internet and having various Federated websites that can communicate to each other in a way that email allows. So I can comment on your facebook/twitter-like webpage from my facebook/twitter-like webpage that are on different platforms. I have been considering building my own Mastadon instance to network with and build out with other similar instances. Instead of creating new redundant pages/sites on Discord or Slack that are built on the back of another proprietary service, do so in the wild of self ownership. I _LOVE_ psynews for this understanding and completely support whatever you choose to do to keep this place functioning. I do wonder if, since these types of forums are sorta dwindling and a relic of a previous internet age, maybe pivoting to a more Mastadon type of Federated platform would be a beneficial transition for long term growth and usage. Has there been a consideration to maybe make a Psynews Federated Mastadon site for people to use like Twistter/Threads/Instagram/etc? Would love to see something like that happen down the way 😃

<<Is there any other electronic genre that covers such a wide variety of topics or atmospheres?>> I've got a friend who is really into Jungle/DnB and he keeps trying to convince me that the jungle scene is similar to Goa. I disagree but he really wants me to understand it the way he does. lololol 😃

I enjoy this track too 😃 (I mean, I unabashedly love most SUN Project in general, but this is a fun remix)

No. I kinda tuned that part out. Not out of disrespect. Just don't really engage with some of that. 😃

I mean, many artists perpetually tweak their songs over the years. If the song sounds done, then it can always be adjusted down the way if you want to I'm guessing labels are more likely to take interest if they like your song, not your rough sketch beginning idea of a song. I would think you should probably send the completed track. I believe some labels also test tracks on the dance floor to determine engagement before releasing things, so another reason to send completed tracks. Others might have other thoughts, but that's my perspective from when I briefly had a couple of record labels.

<<Then I read about Vaccine Electronic through the narrative that Younger Brother caved into pressure from fans not liking Vaccine, and I must admit this narrative immediately soured my expectations of Vaccine Electronic, because if that is true, it is rarely good when an artist works under duress.>> I dunno. From talking with Benji, I do not take this to be the case. Maybe you know more than I...

lolololol As you said in another thread: <<Don't just delete messages like that, leave them up. Now Noone in the future will have any idea what was said.>> LMFAO

Also, the different singles were released on various labels and comps. Not all were mastered as well as others. Having everything mastered by the same person for the same release will give it a bit more coherence 😃 Thankful they didn't do the loudness wars stuff too! 😃
