This is probably within top 5 albums ever.

Received it in the mail today. I've listened through now.. First time listen.. And I must say this is, beyond any doubt, one of the most fantastic pieces of music I have ever listened to. This calls for a global celebration.

I remember reading "what is Goa Trance", surfing the various pages back in those days. Great memories. Goa Gil! :posford:

I've placed my order for the Apsara/Mandala print one - looks sweet!

I also have bad feedback for this Istvan character. Overpriced, and the condition was NOT as he had claimed. Took forever to receive the package (1.5 months).. Steer clear, people!!

Not bad!! But I suspect that Simon character to have tampered with almost every track on that compilation.

Enjoy your harddrive mailfunction and cat-pee all over your backup storage.

I'm travelling to Vancouver this summer - and I'll be sure to be there.

Heheh, you're right. But plastic is the name, and consumption's the game. Fun fact - I work in the Rainforest Foundation - so I scream environment loudest!! People scream environment, and they want people to walk to work rather than driving there. Little did they know that the food production needed to sustain the loss of calories from walking pollutes WAY more than the car pollutes driving the same distance... Think about it!! I propose - digipaks. Paper - cellulose from sustainable deforestation with government subsidies purchasing co2 quotas in line with the pollution from production. That should only set us back, what, €45 per album?

Well, I'm sure a collection of key-chain looking memory sticks would look like rubbish - but just because the medium itself has to change doesn't mean they can't place them in jewel-cases just like CD's, see post #1. I wouldnt mind that - if the compact stick really was the future. The estethics are thus preserved. :posford:

Google "*instrument* frequency spectrum" or the likes. Very easy to find. I must say I'm emotionally attached to the "CD" for what it's worth. That's why I've got difficulties with downloading (buying) albums and new things such as the stick. The minidisc was terrible and I've never been into LP's. For me though, it's all about the speakers / headphones for the final touch of the sound, once everything else is in order. Source quality, digital-to-analouge conversion, cables, amplification etc.

Yes, quality matters, I'll be the first to say it. I'm probably one of the biggest Hi-Fi maniacs I know of, and I've built my home entertainment system with as few bottlenecks as possible. Yet, doing a proper ABX blind-test, I concluded that I couldn't hear a difference between 320kpbs MP3 | 320kpbs WAW | FLAC | CD. I'm tempted to suggest that normal venue PA systems' speakers and amps is a far greater bottleneck in terms of sound quality from source to ear than a 256kpbs MP3 file ever could be compared to FLAC or 320. You're right though, there's no need to compromise quality if you don't have to. You're right, loudness is a recurring factor in many pop/rock albums. ( ) However, I think the quality of the recording of any album matters equally. Ordinairy musical instruments are very dynamic.. It's not hard to understand that some people can hear differences in recordings, and I am taking this seriously... erm.

Ultimae's shop has it too.

Where'd you get this file? 320kbps too... I've pre-ordered the album now.. Looking for the download, of course.

Why isn't this one available on psyshop?

Ding ding ding Pre-orders starting now http://www.ultimae.com/

This is a step back if anything. The CD offers artwork and the possibility for FLAC. If I were to be unable to get the CD, A quick and cheap download would be the next best thing. A flashdrive is rather silly. Anyway - is anyone here capable of hearing the difference between FLAC and 256kpbs MP3? I challenge you.

Shpongle - Dorset Perception Infected Mushroom - Merlin Please link em' here! These two are fairly easy, but the only ones I've found online. Santy brought me an acoustic guitar! :drama:

30 Minutes video interview with the entire Shpongle band :posford: Pete Callard - what a genious.. Dorset Perception.. also playing Divine Moments of Truth on electric guitar in London, oh my. This video makes me giggle.

Can anyone explain the slightly uncomfortable (?) event at 5:56? The money shot question?
