    That's an interesting statement from someone who runs a label that sells CDs.

    I've been listening to music only in the digital format for years now. Since I move quite a lot, I managed to fit all the music I like on a 256GB USB stick that I plug on the phones/computers/cars I use. Though I kept on buying CDs, and those I could also get in digital remained shrink-wrapped, especially since I got rid of my previous computer which had the only optical reader in the house...

    I moved twice in the past 2 years and I had to carefully package 5 movers' boxes of full CDs that I was never otherwise pulling off the shelves...it was time to stop and buy in digital only.

     

    My way of life is not related to what we do at Suntrip. Owning the object is still a must for many and we surely undertsand that and keep on pressing CDs. Even I, can't help acquiring physical copies of *Goa* releases. IFO Reissue is not really an exception in fact.

     

     

    Oh Jesus, here we go again...

    ...yeah...knocks one ball without touching the other.

    I said I would stop buying CDs, but I'm gonna make an exception here. One copy for the shelf next to the original IFO, another on the wall probably.

     

    Draeke showed me the full artwork last friday and I HAD to call him to congratulate him on this awesome work.

     

    And the music...man...oh man...this live...these remixes...these singles...this is an out-of-the-world experience.

     

    I'm very curious to see the results of this year's best-of :)

    Recent attempts at fusionning Trance and Psytrance

    IMO this thread only exists out of the need for men to categorize music, which unfortuately creates boundaries.

    OTOH there are musicians who create art-works they believe is going to generate an emotional response amongst the listeners, no matter the style or genre...so they happen to cross man-made boundaries.
    (ok there's a few who target/mimic a specific identified genre, not the majority)

     

    Are we trying to please a object-model, or our brain?

    Speaking about ourselves, "Aurora Sidera" is the result of our thought that we could create a richer story, with a better emotional response, by ignoring the boundaries and including the Skizologic and the Denshi/Amtinaous tracks whose styles are respectively Acid and Trance...

    Where do you keep your collection?

    I still use Ikea Gnedby's

    http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/90277145/

    They contain ~192cds (12 shelves with 16cds each). You'd need 6 to fill over 1000 cds.

     

    There's also this one, depending on your needs:

    You don't need to screw them to the wall: what I do is put some folded cardboard under the front of the feet. That way the furniture bends slightly backwards and doesn't risk falling forward.

    How Infected Mushroom became so famous?

    in General Psytrance

    They became famous because they were awesome.

    First time I saw them, it was in TBE party in Paris. On the way to he party, the guys who'd given me a lift asked who were these Infected Mushroom guys on the flyer. I didn't know, none of us had any idea. It was at the time of the big minimal wave. Yumade were playing in the same party and they were clearly the headliners, so we didn't really care.

     

    Well, Yumade did good, but then these two guys with long hair came, started playing, and the room immediately EXPLODED !!!

    Rarely have I seen such feelings in a party. People were dancing so hard that the security staff had to open the fire doors to leat some steam out !

     

    That's how they became so famous, they were playing high quality melodic stuff in the middle of the minimal wave, they were imaginative, young, simple, accessible. Well, after BP Empire, things changed, but the fame stayed. The crowd was asking for them, no matter what music they played.

    Whats with Ultimae printing too few copies?

    I know they repressed some Fahrenheit and some old Solar Fields and CBL too I think, not sure it has happened since.

     

    Maybe there is a distortion between demand and offer. Maybe the demand is not enough to require an extra of batch from the press, but it is sufficient to make the prices increase. We have the same problem, and it's really hard to estimate.

     

    Or maybe they just don't own the rigths anymore!
