  1. I dontz like Hallucinogen that much either, dont worry. Posford in general is totally overrrated, but I also dont wanna start any wars now.
  2. "But you are not alone For I am here with you Though we're far apart You're always in my heart But you are not alone" - Michael Jackson
  3. Vynil the first time I didnt hear it on Vynil was one of my very own mixtapes. The first Goa CD must have been at least 2 or 3 years later. Kids....
  4. 1 André Absolut & Greed - The Other Side (8:28) 2 Kasey Taylor & Greed - Hardface (8:26) 3 Atmos - KNS (Greed Remix) (10:28) 4 Greed - Nihil Nulla (Part2) (9:49) 5 Mental X & Greed - Lumiera (8:48) 6 Tango & Greed - Inside The Crystal Circle (9:44) 7 Greed - Rolling Hills (10:02) 8 Greed - Bending (11:24) Tobi Wirz aka Greed has had quite a stunning output in the past focusing on the trancey melodic side of progressive house. Being the cheese connoisseur that I am, some of his tracks have really impressed me and therefore I was more than happy when one of my fav. labels, ACDC, announced the release of a full-length album. ACDC and Greed cannot go wrong I thought, but unfortunately I was mistaken. From the very first listen on I didn't "get" this album, and I'm sad to report my initial reaction hasnt changed in the last 2 or 3 weeks. I have given this CD lots of chances and listened to it various times, but two things really bother me about this record. 1: The Sound Quality/Mastering/Whatever: I'm certainly no expert when it comes to the technical side of sound engineering, but I have ears, and there is something about the sound quality/production/mastering that really turns me off. The sound of the whole record is very dry, muffled and strangely dense. There seems to be no separation between the different layers, the beats sound lifeless, its like listening to a CD through very bad speakers. I dont understand how a label like ACDC and someone like Greed, who on previous 12" excelled with outstanding soundproduction, can release something in this poor quality. The best example here is probably the track "Rolling Hills", musically certainly great , but it sounds so muffled and just "weird" that it takes away all my listening pleasure. Usually a track like that produces immediate goosebumps, but whenever i listen to it I keep running back and forth to the amp to adjust settings to make it clearer. What a shame!!! (im still really looking forward to the Shiloh mix, however) 2: The tracks sound like very generic trancey prog. house: Apart from Rolling Hills and one or two others, none of the tracks really move me from a composition point of view. Greed usually is Goosebump music, but these tracks are not with that one exception. As some of you might know there are computer programms to automatically generate Pop Music hits, and most tracks here sound like someone told one of those programs "Make me a trancey prog. house track" and the average trancey house track was spit out 5 mins later. Some tracks are probably aiming for the emotional hands in the air feeling, but they are missing and end up sounding superficial and saccharine, especially "Inside the crystal circle" and to a lesser extent "Nihil Nulla". Others try to be deep and dense and end up sounding like drivel, the best example being the awful closing track "Bending" but also "The Other Side" and the Atmos KNS "remix", which really doesnt have anything to do with the original except a few short soundbites. Ok, enough dissing for now. At this time time it might be in order to say that I got Greeds temptation at the same time as the absolutely stunning Fusion - Black Magic (review to follow soon), so it was up against hard competition, and also Ive mostly been listening to german techno a la Robag Wruhme and Dominik Eulberg , so my "ear " and listening behaviour has changed a lot since the time when I was really into prog. house one or two years ago. That being said, there are some enjoyable moments on this album, as I mentioned "Rolling Hills" is a real emotional gem if it had a clearer sound, and the Mental X collaboration Lumiera is also great with its soaring 303 lines, I bet it works wonders on the dancefloor. "Bending" and "Inside the Crystal circle" are bad tracks IMHO, but the others are enjoyable, average solid trance-house tracks. To sum it up, Greed can do better. This whole CD feels like a "loveless" rushed collection of tracks, rather than an album. It starts with the many collaborations and the already released remix, and ends with the bad mastering/production/soundquality. I would recommend to pick up one of Greeds many 12" rather than this album, maybe the excellent "City Lights" released on his own label Sog Records, but íf you like trancey prog. house, you can do worse than this. And I almost forgot, I really like the Cover, it reminds me of an all-night drug-orgy with our very own Gay Satanic Coke Mules.
  5. I actually kinda think this ban is a good thing, but not because what he has done on thiS site, but as an educational measure for Cinos. He needs to get a life!! I say we change the ban, lets make it until he gets a girlfriend (or boyfriend as I suspect). He has to present proof in form of a little movie of a real person kissing him, proclaiming he/she is his partner/affair. This movie has to be longer than a minute so he cant fake it on photoshop or whatever. Then he also has to present photos of him dancing at a real Psytrance party, after all this is a psyforum and he needs to get some street cred, yo. I actually suspect this might take more than a year, its hard to find a girl/boy, but Cinos would get a lot out of it. Just for the record, as opposed to 90% of my other posts I mean this, Im not being sarcastic or trying to be funny, I realy do think its a good idea.
  6. When I go out here in Berlin I know the right people who have also seen me with long hair, beard and foam coming out of my mouth. I got my street cred, YO!!
  7. I do it on purpose to piss off the hippies. I have this one shirt by Armani Exchange, Armanis cheap brand that only exists the States (so the german think its the real expensive Armani), that says ARMANI in really fat letters on the front. Whenever I wear that to Trance parties i always get some kind of reaction, its the perfect way to meet Hippies and argue with them. And also I think its funny when everyone thinks Im some rich snob that got lost at a trance party, when really I am on ten times more drugs than they are. (Actually, I am a rich snob, but Im not lost).
  8. No, I looked absolutely beautiful and stunning, even if you are not gay you would have wanted to fuck me.
  9. !!!!!!!!!PWNED!!!!!!!!!!! What would the Postford say if he saw that
  10. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! Yes I did, my nose still hurts.
  11. Yeah, when I rip a normal fart, it gives me no special feelings, it just stinks, like any other fart. But, If I eat raw or almost raw eggs, my farts give me that special sulfur feeling, no other farts can give me that. I always feel like some kind of inverted dragon, cause im letting sulfur gas fly from my anus. And thats pretty fucking cool!!!
  12. SWEET!!! For now I'm happy with Avatar, like I said that track has been spooking around my head for months, you probably all know the feeling when a track really blows you away at a party when youre really fucked up, and then you cant get it out of your head, and then when you finally hear it again somewhere, its like an epiphany and all the memories and feelings from the original party when you first heard it flood back into your brain. The first and most intense time I had that happening was Atmos "The only Process", when I first heard it was one of the first times I did E and I had that weird sample stuck in my head in an eternal loop, I was even dreaming about it constantly. Then when I found the record in a store and realized it was the track I was looking for for months, it was like a really intense orgasm, i had goosebumps all over my body, my eyes got wet etc...oh well, maybe im just weird.
  13. YES!!!!YES!!!!YES!!!!! I finally found out what track it is!!! It's called Avatar and its on the Labyrinth essential mix CD thats being released on Liquid Souls new label. You can listen to it here . I feel so relieved, Ive had this track in my head ever since last summer!! OH JOY!!! Freq at his very best
  14. Raumgleiter means Spaceglider in german
  15. The Woman is waiting for the cumshot, 100%!!
  16. Der Dritte Raum translated word by word means The Third Room, but when you talk about "Der Dritte Raum" in german, it means The Third Dimension or 3D. Anyways, whatever the translation, it rawks!!
  17. VOC melodic?? The only track track that had a melody was the Just a ride remix, the rest was more psy-funk or whatever. Since Tox comes from a similar background than me, i would project its not his cup of tea.
  18. WOW!!!!!!! Two comments: A: Damn, you must be rich!!!! Go spend your money on something useful, buy drugs!!!! B: How do you listen to all of that????
  19. No, its really not any good, I listened to it again... *GSH starts shredder engine, expect output soon*
  20. That means your gay. If you cant look at is avatar without feeling something, then you should re-evaluate your sexuality.
  21. Im surprised No Ones mentioned Rhyth is a Dancer and Mr. Vain those tracks fucking rock!!!
  22. That Feed your Head song is probably called White Rabbit, at least thats what the original from the 70's is called: Heres what im listening to these days, sorry, no unrlsd. kiilllaarrrggghhhsss, most of it is a little or a lot older: 1. Fuzzion -White Rabbit and Little Girl - Boshke, both those songs are awesome, and they are both in the same track 2. Manhattan- The Shock - Boxer Sports 3. Robert Babicz - Mr. Head - K2 4. LoSoul feat. Malte - You know - Playhouse 5. Kino Oko- Born without Soul - Horns n' Hoofs 6. Hug - The Happy Monster - K2 7. Sven Väth feat. Anthony Rother - Schubdüse - Virgin 8. Chelonis R.
