Super 8 was JJ Abrahams love letter to Spielberg, but was not a Spielberg movie directly. =) Season 4 of Sherlock was great. The first episode felt a bit off, but I actually liked the way everything developed and where we're left for the potential final season.

I got to spend a very special weekend at a lovely beach house this past weekend and played two nice sets. One of them included the guest of honor being able to blast off with a very special... fuel for the first time. Plastic was the track of the moment. That song still owns all others

I don't. I think their profit distribution model is whack and I think the concept of Spotify making millions off of the backs of artists is rather weak. It would be one thing if Spotify funded recording deals, paid to produce, and give artists advances; but they don't. They take a finished product and take 50% of revenue (a revenue calculation which is less than fair to any artist receiving less than the average number of plays). If I pay $5 (or whatever it is per month) and play nothing but Chemical Brothers for the month. They don't even get my $5. They get their portion of total plays combined with the entire site's other artists number of plays. I use my money each month to simply buy music from artists. I don't use the free app either, as the entire company rubs me the wrong way. Same with both Apple and Google Music. Maybe I'm just stuck in the past and an un-evolved luddite, but it's just not for me at the time.

You can enable downloads on soundcloud. It's the clicking of a box.

Yeah, I really like the UX cover. A good cover not only reproduces the original, it also brings something new to the table. UX's version of Radioactivity is a beautiful retelling of the Kraftwerk story and I'm definitely playing it in a set sometime

This one? http://goaconstrictor.com/music/fabulous-christmas/ http://goaconstrictor.com/audio/fabulous_christmas.mp3

I think I'll be able to do something moderate during a summer afternoon BBQ. I'm thinking that I can do fairly well in the basement though, since it'll be more dampened by the earth around it.

no download?

I bought a house to listen to psytrance in. Not sure if that counts though

I've always had a special place in my heart for Plastic. It's slow, deep, pulses with intense psychedelia, and really channels the energy of UFO encounter.

See!! This thread just got awesome =)

This thread would be way cooler if it was filled with tracks that don't have YouTube videos, thereby forcing people to seek out the recommendations through other means. Kind of a scavenger hunt of sorts... :-)

Classic Space Tribe is something that had to be experienced at that moment. It didn't necessarily age well, but it was an extremely stepping stone to where we are today.

If you ever throw a party in Oregon, USA; I promise to attend.

This album is one of my Top 10 Psychedelic Albums of All Time. Probably in the Top 5 or Top 3 (if I really sat down and tried to piece such a list together). Seeing Anoebis' first review of 2.5 is hilarious. lololololol Maybe it's grown on him since then, but LMFAO. This album is a solid 10 of psychedelic wonder. If you can get it, do so.

Wait. Does this person not know that this track is a cover of a rather famous (and awesome) Kraftwerk track?

^^^^^^^^^^^ this. 1000%

I guess both. I mainly use two analog synths: Waldorf Pulse and Juno 106 That said, I have been playing around with Ableton's Melody -> Midi conversions with my guitar and then simply applying a soft synth internally on top of those midi notes. I may very well route those to the Pulse or something, but for now they are chilling internally. I have no problems with soft synths. I definitely use a fake 303 emulator as well. I just really love the psychedelic crisp sounds from my Waldorf and the warmth of the 106 together. They pair and accompany each other greatly. And, much like the conversation in another thread about being forced to write within a framework or within boundaries, having a smaller selection of tools to use can keep things sounding cohesive and also force new approaches to reach common goals.

I'm really liking the cover of Radio Activity.

This is such a grossly misleading statement. It is not GONE for whoever bought it. Bandcamp cannot get onto your computer and delete files. If you are only streaming items, then you really aren't buying the album anyway. If you paid for the album, you download the item. Your purchase doesn't include free cloud storage. It does include free streaming, but that's not what you paid for. You paid for the download. The stream is a bonus. Again, Bandcamp CANNOT delete items you paid for.

Some of that got released on the Bus "Morebusinesslinkyouthere" album and the two Gus Till Best of the Flying Rhino Years compilations from Sonic Dragon Records, but I'm curious too about potential missing tracks and also different versions of the tracks which did get released. Quite curious...

Music for the Jilted Generation came out over a year before Hackers was released (probably before it even went in front of the cameras). Voodoo People and One Love are both solidly Music for the Jilted Generation tracks. I think both fit in greatly and that album is a top to bottom classic.

I disagree with this last statement. While much commercial product can be bad, having rules or a recipe are not necessarily a detriment to creativity. Sometimes having some guidelines and a canvas to paint within brings forth creativity and inspiration. Stories are mostly written in a five act structure and those boundaries/rules/recipes sometimes force you into making choices which are beneficial to the story. Obviously, this is not how everyone will approach these things, but that's my point. An artist's work should be judged independently of the platform it is released in. If someone is releasing music with a commercial angle, that doesn't immediately mean it is without artistic merit or complexity...
