Let's put the label management aside for a couple of minutes. As you may guess, I've been listening this album for a long time already so I know the effects of time on this album. Well, I'm positively surprised to see that I enjoy listening to all the tracks after hundreds of listens,and that I dig some of the tracks better than in the begining !! As a listener, I just couldn't agree more with Jon's review. This is exactly what I think about this album. Filtertraces (2007) is a pure jewel. There were many versions of this one...Jannis kept refining it, and by november 2007, he gave me this remix and I was blown away. I've know this track for 1.5 year and still it gives me goosebumps everytime. The 5.38 break&enter is a real slap in the face, and the ending is just one of the best psytrance moments ever. If you listen to it when tired or after a nice evening with friends, you will feel like crying. Try it on a mountain or on the beach, and die! I think it's one of the best Goa tracks (yes, ever). The Big Blue (mid-2008) is one of these tracks that drive you far away, that you like, and yet you rediscover when played live. It has so much energy, so much surprises. It's pleiadianesque, but has these twirling masterful melodies, these breaks and melodies that go after each other. Man, listen to it open air, and experience the hurricane! Wormhole went through a lot of work, I know, and I didn't like much the first versions. When I heard this album version, I thought it was a good rollercoaster...I was wrong, this one grows on you with all its influences, it takes you aback even after 15 listens. That's a smart trap and it's not good, it's great!! Eyeless Observatory (early 2007) is the acidic monster that reminds yoou that Filteria is just a great musician. If you think about it, this track is a whole buildup, and still, you're never bored with it. It has so many details and the instruments are so wicked that you just wanna hear it again and again !! I suspect this one has a strong live-remix potential. In the Heaven's Eye (end 2008)....ah well...how to describe this odyssey of sounds and emotions? Just plug your headphones, click play, clsoe your eyes, you already see the sky. That's an anthem of a track and once again evidence Filteria has probably no limits in his sound exploration. Infinite Regression has great moments, but also has older Filteria influences, somehow, so it's particular. Some will love it, some won't. Earthrise (early 2009). Actually this one replaced another track at the last moment for the best of everyone in my opinion. This is just a killer tune. Like a Hallucinogen vs Hux Flux back to back in the begining, then it grows crazier and crazier! Everytime you think it can't do more, another break comes and you wanna roll on the floor. I'm sure that if Hallucinogen, Pleiadians, and Miranda had made music alltogether it would sound like this. Oh and the bass, THAT bass. It makes me shiver. The part at 5.30 is one of the craziest goa moments ever. Imo Filtertraces is just a little better than this one, but Earthrise will remain in momories [Jannis, I know you read me, please live-mix it]. Float Away & Disappear (? 2008) is one of these tracks with lots of fx and chopped voices (a bit like the Shpongle tune in the Crystal skulls) . Very professional, and it gives fulfilment in this album, as it kinda closes a loop. When it starts kicking, it sounds a bit like Entheogenic, but with this typical mystical Filteria touch...melodies go on top of each other and that makes a real looping-in-the-air feeling. Little story: this track replaced Back to Earth on the album late last year as it turned out ot be better...but Jannis finally rerecorded B2E for Sundrops which made it a lovely track in the end too Recently I relistened to Sky Input. Really great work, but so far away from "Daze". Heliopolis had already started a new approach, but Daze of Our Lives is truly professional work. It's not "dance, trance, and heal your knees tomorrow"; it's emotional material, you can feel the number of hours refining every second of it, to trigger your feelings further. And on top of it the production is SO good! You know, there are albums and tracks you never forget. Twisted, Trust In Trance, Phototropic, Violent Relaxation, Multimoods, IFO, Moment of Truth............and Daze of Our Lives.

It's ridiculous to spend time posting a "k" too. And what does it bring to the discussion? A "k" I suppose. I was never in favor of warns. Back in november 2005, when the moderation team came in, I asked for a very strong moderation, but they wouldn't really get against all other members at once (and I understand), so they chose to install some milder moderation options, like warnings. Just look how it works in a classroom... There is no rule for temp-bans. I subscribe to some topics, either because I'm interested or because I know its going to be hot, and I monitor. I just don't want the forums to Off-Topic-ize and since the mod team virtually doesnt exist anymoroe, I have to take care of some moderation. But I have 2 jobs and I don't have the time to clean too much, so everytime I see something useless, I tend to take quick action to show some limits, instead of goiong into rethoretical discussionss about the benefits of a "k" in a thread. And there you reached my "garbage-posting-limit". I'm sorry if it looks totalitarian. At school, some teachers do exactly the same: Pupils talk in their backs, they cope with that till they choose one and punish him. Then order comes back. If I had caught buzzman with these 3 dots, he'd get 1 week too. I just removed this completely useless popst and wrote him a PM.

Oh we've started already: go to the shop, click onthe Merr0w release, and there it's available both in CD and FLAC. http://www.suntriprecords.com/shop/item/SUNCD12/

Hello Anoebis had already disclosed the test version in the Merr0w thread, but not many noticed. We put it up silently yesterday night, and after a little fine-tuning, it's here, live, and kicking ==> http://www.suntriprecords.com <== It may look more or less the same as before, but there are a lot more funtionalities for all Suntrippers: - better artists pages http://www.suntriprecords.com/artists/ - much better releases pages with extracts payer, at last http://www.suntriprecords.com/releases/ - newsletter subscription - complete shop & customer space with digital sales (for instance you can buy FLAC's of Merr0w right now along with the CD) http://www.suntriprecords.com/shop/ - faq / privacy / security facts http://www.suntriprecords.com/privacy/ - rss/atom feeds http://www.suntriprecords.com/rss and http://www.suntriprecords.com/atom - contact & promo submission pages http://www.suntriprecords.com/contact/ and http://www.suntriprecords.com/promo/ - and all the backend is more automated (that's a real relief for us) Oh this is only half of a revolution for users. For us, behind the scenes, there's a lot more to better promote, broadcast, sell, followup orders etc... You can expect more features to come up in the next weeks Enjoy
