Hello With Audiogalaxy's new rules and the neverending mp3 trend, we saw new kinds of posts here. - either "audiogalaxy down, where wil we swap now ?" - or "can you give me this or that pseudo-technical advice about mp3s ?" under "General" i can read "general discussion about psytrance", not "general discussion about mp3s". I wanna be clear : this site DOES NOT encourage mp3 piracy and trading. You may know about copyright laws and stuff like that....once again we want to stress the fact that WE would NOT like to be charged for what YOU say here. ok ? HOWEVER i would never have deleted so many posts these days if they had been written in the good forums : - If you want to find OLD out-of-stock releases and think you can only get them by swapping some mp3s, i think it's possible to do something in the "Lost tracks forum". - If you want to set a virtual meeting point to compare your OWN music compositions, your posts won't be deleted if they are in the "Off Topic" forum. Now you know the concern, the solution, so you know what to do. thanks.

mp3s contain hidden strings (ID3 tag) with several pieces of information on the track..provided you fill them. so you can have a FILE title different from the TAG title. btw this is the last time i answer mp3 questions. please read the thread about that above this one in the list

GOOD QUESTION +1 for your exams ! well my bandwidth could do it for 1 stream and we had a relay. but the guy was too lazy to ensure a 24/24 uptime. so we stopped. BUT i friend of mine is setting up a shoutcast radio in france. his website will be up in a few days and he has lots of contacts to get some mixes from known artists AND he has 50 relay streams to offer you. if it works i think our radio link could become an external link pointing on his streams !

well thank Children twice in that case !!

children got a phone call today : "....hey i have recompiled the server's kernel and i have no internet connection anymore.....can you remind me the howto page on defcon1.org please ?" just to tell the kernel recompilation fucked up totally today, which caused the 5-hour forum deadline. a few more moments and the upgrade will be 100% complete.

i got it !! it's my fault. will be posted soon

the apache+php+zlib+things upgrade was done last night. i cut the line 2 hours only. currently the kernel of the server is being recompiled, so there will be 1 reboot maybe this afternoon, and if it restarts, the forum will be upgraded just after that, and you wont be disturbed for that.

i'm currently upgrading lots of proggies to their newest versions on the "Onde" server (www.onewayltd.com on the net. it's the server i have at home that hosts those forums and other things). there have seen lots of security issues adressed since january, so it's high time. so the forum will probably be off sometimes...and maybe you'll have an updgraded forum soon too !!

i heard rumours about the castle's park not being confirmed....be prepared to go elsewhere

hmm no : "fellow Bordelais living in Paris"

to people posting crap : as you know, i'm held responsible of whats on my forums, towards the french law. so i wont accept any abuses. i was a routing engineer in a telcom company, i have lots of contacts. you may use proxies, but providers always keep logs of what goes thru their servers/routers/proxies in case the police asks them for a serious reason. yes, here it's not serious but one call from me and people at those providers will do me a favor and track you, then shut down your line. This is not a warning, i'll do it asap. if people i know have too much work they'll keep you in store and treat your case later...else they'll make your internet life a hell. let me tell you that i wont tolerate a mess to happen here. if you have a problem with us, just contact me directly here but please let this place quiet. i hope it's clear. mars.

answer in english : next party in paris : Astralys, june 15 : http://chillout.shop.free.fr/flyers/astralys2.jpg and don't forget out launch party : click here

wow you replied 4 minutes after my post ! i forgot to say that when we left, all of the flyers for our party had disappeared. When we arrived my friends thought i had brought too many flyers with me, but there were not enough....this is a good sign )) i'll give a big part of the rest to Roopak for that party in which he'll play next week end in paris, and i'll put the last ones in techno import....hmmm

This Elephant'om party was in fact filled with BooM Records artists. So it was planned ot be outdoors but the uncertain weather conditions made it that we gathered in the caves of a castle pretty far from paris.... i couldn't dance due to a wounded leg/foot so i took the time to visit. the place was incredible : first a big dancefloor like a "L" with the djs/acts in the corner, then a few meters of catacombs, then a long dedalus of caves and small rooms on the left and on the right. some of those rooms were used for stands, bars, others were corners with the main room's sound in it, or simply silent and black, and the last one was a small circular chillout with its own soundsystem. really relaxing. i said hello to many people, put our flyers everywhere and listened : - (Zephyr had played before we arrived) - i don't know the name of the dj that played then, but it was pretty psychotic...too hard for the begining of the night i think. - then Zendaï played : mostly Alien Project / Logic Bomb stuff. Conventional but good. .....and after that, this was the typical style of parties you Belgian people would have loved : - Battle of the Future Buddhas replaced Fractal Glider, originally on the lineup. The Buddhas are totally unknown in france but people won't forget them : they played truly psycho music during 90 mins. it was heavy with lots of psychedelic breaks and melodies..the guys were moving a lot, people enjoyed and shouted. BOTFB sound is not really clear but it gave a very cool touch of underground that made people dancing. hell !! during their act i spoke a bit with MattBoom. I had seen him in Antwerp once. He told me he liked our compil, and......(you'll read later) - at the end of the act, there was a very very linear track. People landed and MattBooM could play all his crazy stuff...it was very very psychedelic. Actually the most psychedelic stuff he has at the moment. so Teleport remix, Come on remix, some Alien projects remixes, Fractal Glider's Chasing Ganesha remix, etc, etc, etc...rhaaaaa..people became nuts !!!! near the end of his set, i was standing in the middle of the dancefloor, amazed by the wonderful ambiance, and a new track started. my friend Ben told me "this is on out compilation"....and indeed i recognized Agalactica's Awkward Lightrate !! with the huge soundsystem we had in those caves, the track sounded like some infected. (actually Matt had told me he would play it because he thought it was awesome. so if you Agalactica guys read me, know that MattBoom plays your track a lot !).... People became nuts again and i was happy. after that Matt could play whatever he wanted, people were mindblown ! The set ended on some pure psy stuff again. we though the climax of the party had passed....but NO ! - Rastaliens started their live act : the first track was a very good psychedelic stomper, people started to smile...and you know what ? it was the least good track of the act ! E.v.e.r.y. single track was a shock. The track were filled with psychedelic sounds, *all the time*, sometimes it sounded like some Infected Mushroom's. The technical acheivement of these guys is incredible. It was SO great ! i was with good friends speaking about their equipment and music and we noticed they played directly some melody on the keyboard (!!!) and that many of the sounds we could hear were really generated realtime by the synths. We were blown away ! you can't imagine....i even tried to dance. The dancefloor was still filled and it was 8AM when they stopped and were applaused. - After that, we had Franco and some other guy from SubMachine records, and they played really minimalistic stuff (mainly MOS). people were hot enough to dance on anything and the party went on. i left because my leg was too painful. So if you Boom records guys read me, i can tell you you did the job 100% well and i think Paris people won't forget you overnight !!!!

hello i just came here to tell about yesterday's party in paris which was awesome, and i just found a lot of garbage threads on the first page of this forum....i have a lot of work and don' t come often here, so i don't even wanna know about what's posted bofore.......... nevertheless i'd like to tell you 2 things : - if you moderators can't handle those foums anymore, just tell it. - this server is hosted in france, its hardware and domain name belong to me. and the problem is that, in france, the law says that i am responsible of what people post on the forums. you understand what it means ? okay ? bye.

Matt, could you contact me plz, i tried to email you but your @ at hallucinaut throws my emails... thx

Joske was ill and not at home for that, he just returned, you'll get an answer soon i guess.

ahah well done Soulhunter !!

yes yes yes please post it and we'll be pleased to publish it in the dedicated section )

Logic Bomb - Hund / Unlimited Artist: Logic Bomb Title: Hund / Unlimited Label: TIP World Date: 2002 Track listing: 01. 7'57" Hund 02. 7'55" Unlimited Review: Hund starts very quickly and hits hard. good bassline, a few noises. Yet there is almost no evolution till 1'20 where you start to hear some notes in the background. Around 2' there is a break and an overlayed smooth melody comes to the foreground clear and pleasant... Expect to smile when you hear that. We smiled a lot when they played this one in London. The big kick+bass restarts with this melody. this sounds cool. When it disappears one minute later, the track develops on a 'vocal samples + huge bassline' basis...there are lots of layers of sounds à la Logic Bomb something happens every 30 seconds so you don't get bored. From 5'30 you feel the melody has to come back, it reappears in the background, and finally you were so well prepared that it makes this second break even more pleasant than the first one. ok this one leaves no chance to pessimists. Unlimited is not that linear but it does not surprise. The very same sounds were used in several tracks (like Mental Poison for example) and there is not such musical creation as in Hund. The track is based on the pressure the rhythmic gives. well i got bored after 3 minutes. I think it must be ok on the dancefloor, especially when a repetitive vibrating sound comes around on and on after 4'30. But THE thing that saves the track is the wonderful break at 5'20. The tone of the bassline goes up, then down again and it gives a new groove. There are lots of changes really fast until the end...but it does not give me a slap in the face as i expected. hrrm we heard so many great tracks by LB in 2001 that this appetizer sounds common compared to them. Nevertheless this EP became really good to my ears after 4 listens. Rating : 7.5/10. Unlimited is average, Hund is wonderful.

Spirallianz - Silver Edition (Part 3) Artist: Spirallianz Title: Silver Edition (Part 3) Label: Global Trance Network Date: 2002 Track listing: 01. Battlecuice 02. Spotrunnerz Review: The ghostbusters of psytrance have just completed their EP trilogy. This one tends to search into new directions : Battlejuice is very soft at the begining. A quiet intro, then the kick starts...but it still looks like an intro. The rhythm remains far behind, and mainly hear strange distorted violin-like lines. I was surprised to hear such a long (2'48) and pleasant intro...then everything breaks and the music becomes far far more powerful, but as the rhythm was already here, you don't feel aggressed. There are some short samples that sound like people shouting behind. Then it becomes more calm but some noises catch your attention before a second break and a new blasting. At the end, the sounds of the begining are mixed with the main music. That is really a very very good track. Spotrunnerz is more like a Delta track at the begining (same instruments). Then it remains linear not overloaded at all with samples. There are some small vocals lines at the begining and the end. It's surprising to hear such a clear track from Spirallianz. Sometimes it makes me think of a slown and stripped down Update 1.0. I like it but less than side A. Overall this is a very good EP. The first two Silver EPs sounded like original Spirallianz frenetic music plus creepy lines, this one is definitely different. Here, it looks like the Allianz has tried to mix their Delta expertise with their Miliz firepower. Spotrunnerz is casual and ok for your home, Battlejuice is a powerful walk of the dead just for you angry DJs! 8.5/10

I had those tracks a long time ago. This is at the edge of Psytrance. This is Trance, actually, but it gives in mind some sparks of psychedelism, so it deserves to be here. Musically speaking, those tracks have a simple rhythmic, yet powerful. Over that, you can hear the typical Sundown melody that was remixed in 96 by Ionizer. It unfolds on and on and makes you happy. The "rock my boat" feeling Stormbringer wrote is mine too. If you still have that EP, just put it under the diamond, relax and move your head while the boat rocks !

i wanted to test something concerning nat/firewall/portdiverting from my job...however i had forgotten to divert the good port and i remotely tweaked the nat config, but when natd reread the conf file, it unexpectedly crashed. then the main routing mechanism was gone, making the server totally deaf concerning the requests from the internet. contrary to what you may have thought, the server was still up and running, but with noone to serve except my private network ) just to say it was my fault. sorry everyone. mars.

Unfortunately for you dewastator, i was working as a routing engineer for some isp last year and i have some contacts. I joined some people at your isp yesterday evening. i gave them all the infos i had concerning you, plus the logs that your visits generated on my server. this can be considered as spam and/or server attacks. Let me tell you that an isp always logs lots of things about custommers (international authorities want that to be able to trace some kinds of abuses), but they can also dig into it... Their data match with mine. You're on some waiting list. There will be no second chance. If people at your isp have too much work, they'll just spy on you a bit waiting for more. If they have nothing to do, they'll specially take care of you for me soon, believe me. If you're on a shared network (like an university), this will just make you untouchable for a while, until the network admins there are aware of what you're doing. Still, you can come here *in peace*. If you have something to tell me, please use my personnal email address. ok ? Regards, unoccupied guy. f. mars.
