  1. What a weekend. The show was off the hook, met a lot of spaced out londoners with some psychedelics they were happy to share. The vibe.. People were hugging. blowing soap bubbles..

     

    I met inexpressible and Infra 303 from discogs, and psytones! My phone died the morning I had to leave, but I'm sure we'll meet for a beer in Oslo sometime, great meeting up!

     

    And the CD - well. I'm amazed. :)

  2. You've got the argument before your nose, but you failed to see it. My point is that even if people like it, they'll rather see the record label die before helping it. The ideology of "sharing" far exceeds the idea of spending a little of one's hippie-cash on something other than "the bare essentials".

     

    Can you give me examples of the opposite? What is happening to Twisted just underscores what I'm saying.

  3. I can only do so much - buy the album, attend the shows, spend a little money on merch. Having had a job, made that money and spent it in order to receive great music, and help the label stay afloat. It's quite easy really.

     

    However, there seems to be a large majority who are so insistent on downloading that they'd rather see Twisted Music burn to the ground than to help them out - with the little they ask.

     

    This is typical for social economy nowadays... And I think people would rather break than bend on the subject.

     

    I can imagine a lot of people rubbing their hands with a big grin when they've finally erradicated the scene of big names due to financial reasons, and all we're left with is 128 kbps mp3's, badly, badly tagged, and equally intense bitching about the lack of quality in the music.

     

    The worst part of it all is that much of it is based on a horribly naive and selfish ideology that shouldn't see the light of day.

  4. 7/10. Interesting.

     

    Great animation by the way. Can anyone tell me a movie with better animation...? :blink:

     

    Great guns. Cool sounding aliens. Horrible main character but that's allright. OK ending. I want district 10!

  5. Shpongle - Are You Shpongled,

    everything from Solar Fields,

    both Carbon Based Lifeforms albums,

    H.U.V.A. Network - Distances

     

    There's just so much, but starting out with these gems is essential, and you won't be dissapointed. By far the most talented people in our world of Ambient / Downtempo. If you liked Leaving Home, you will LOVE "Movements", and "Distances".

     

     

    From the trance world I'm sure you know the name of Simon Posford, we even have / had? a smiley icon at this forum named :"posford": ( :posford: ). Check out the non-trance projects he's involved in, such as

     

    Celtic Cross - (Hicksville)

    Younger Brother - (A flock of bleeps)

    Shpongle

    The Mystery of the Yeti - now that's a Journey... just check this excerpt out. It's from The Mystery of the yeti 2 - Hallucinogen - "The Herb Garden"

     

    The Herb Garden is the most psychedelic track ever, ever made.

  6. ...which is the reason why giving huge lists like yours, bwhale, is useless.

     

    I have most of the releases on that list, but those I don't have I will check out now. Chances are they are great. Chances are, that list is anything but useless.

     

    but you already knew that, bwhale.

     

    "how often you like the same things that that person likes."

     

    I like that sentence.

     

     

    If the goal was just to list chillout releases indiscriminately

    Good thing that isn't the point. Damn tool.
