The aim is to turn SE.net into yet another relevant resource for the psychedelic community around the world and is made with much love and respect for our scene. Please notice that if you are a lazy bum and cannot be bothered to remember http://sonic-energy.net/core you can now access our website through http://goa-trance.com Cheers! p.s: not sure if this goes in this section here...

if i would have had a bit more dough to spend and you're serious about it i would try the Audio technica ath-a900, i've heard nothing but things.

I was recently looking into the same issue and after some reserach i settled for the Senheiser's HD 25 and i couln't be happier with my purchase. here's a good review on the hd 25i, not sure what the difference is... i'd like to think none http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=72883

hey, i think there was mix up when this topic was first brought up i beleive it said it was an ultimae release and i did not see it conecting with their previous work very well. Anyway it's just something different from that idea and i would like to think we have all improved in some way or another since 2002. and by i don't mean it looks bad

not to post spam so blatantly use the advertisement section, mate

Artist: BUS Album: Morebusinesslinkyouthere Label: Sub Records Web: http://www.sublabel.net (Not working) Year: 2005 Format: CD Songs: 01. Disco Suns 02. Take a Walk With Me 03. Outta Their Loco Vulcan Heads 04. Plastico 05. Bambi and Thumper 06. Bus L'Ouverture 07. Return of the Fist 08. Attitude Jets 09. Depth Charger What's This About Gus Till The long-time psychedelic trooper has returned. If you are still wondering who exactly might this cat be, suffice to know he is half of Zen Lemonade and an ex-member of the infamous Slinky Wizards with Dominic Lamb, George Barker, R. Biggs and yes… Simon Posford (ah, that got your attention). After having released tracks in all the old school labels: Flying Rhino, Dragonfly, Iboga, Spiral Trax, Nova Tekk, old TIP records, and god knows where else. The newly formed Sub Records from Australia (a sub-division of Psy-Harmonics) debuts his solo album. Morebusinesslinkyouthere is a tremendous piece, with turns and influences at every track forming one cohesive -read mixed- ride, but this is so freaking good I'm willing to let that issue pass. Per-song Break-down 1. Disco Suns * Opening the album characteristically long winded lines and pads advance through dream-escapes, interrupted only by the increasing depthless of the kicks, slowly dissipating the mist in favor of intricate cadence with drums and breaks. I would not call the Sun's “disco” but is certainly daytime progressive cushioned with velvety melodies interacting with each other. The kind of material that is custom fitted to mix with your latest Ticon perfectly. 2. Take a Walk with Me * “It's a whole different way of life, it's a whole different way of living, but more than that it's a whole different of thinking…” Things heat with a complex intro following voices filtered through a radio preset and a noticeably faster pace. Allow me to be biased for a second and declare this track as my favorite of the lot. The kicks with shakers in between the kicks protrude a strong bass announcing the first signs of psychedelic effects to gurgle the speakers. A progression occurs accompanied with ancient 303 bubbles by the sides, surfacing from under the reverbs now and again. It goes totally bonkers as Tito Fuentes takes over becoming impossible not to wave your hands around in the good ol' air drumming session… anyway… if you are so inclined. It closes doing the roundabout of themes with a cue-friendly finale. 3. Outta Their Loco Vulcan Heads * As it could be deduced this is this the ‘freak-out' track of the album. It comes loaded with a techno feel including cold jagged beats and the echoing machine delays in turn of the bass. It's minimal and nearly a-melodic, focused mostly on the grove. So deceptively simple in structure it permeates experience from every pore. That said, for a 9 minutes it does feel a bit bare. The magic comes when you slide that baby underneath another tune and the rest goes on auto-mode. Clear progressive-industrial influences a-la X-dream (if there was ever such thing)… the drive is nearly unbeatable for a progressive mash up that seems a bit useless to categorize. 4. Plastico * The intro is a slow dragging fixture of samples smeared to treated leads before the pumping kicks become more visible. The rewind-fast-forward bits on the voices unwind calmly giving rise to the low-toned riff loop. Mixing and blending different influences has never been more apparent. The remaining voice blips have a certain touch of the 1950's amongst the web of elements, disconcerting even the most experienced listener to a different idea of psychedelic. It is not based on the LFO's and modulation with blips bloping a really screechy glitch. We are still talking about music here and the different influences and masterful precision of samples, breathe a lot more experience and dynamism from the usual array of psy trance. This is the odd track of the lot and however weird it might seem it is not out of place. 5. Bambi and Thumper * Bambi and thumper smoothly follow the plastic regions of this album with another doze riffs with a distinct doze of dance-floor friendliness. The female chants seem to agree and the groovy plucked guitar confirms it. Welcome to adult trance-land, charged with blurred touches of the metal, violin lines and the atmospheric effects of an action movie. Plus it probably has the coolest name to come around for a while. Just by listing the elements in this track alone, one could deduce the biggest load of cheese since the Cheddar festival in Munich. Don't read it wrong, Bus manages to create something fresh out of elements we have heard before in a great arrangement. 6. Bus L'overture * Like the name suggests we get a fair share of orchestral music (coming from the Concrete Unlimited orchestra, which Bus actually 'conducted'). There are violas, violins, xylophones, electronic touches, war-time drumming bits and god knows what else in a mish-mash of elements of such amazing grace; I don't remember hearing a classical fusion this good in a while. All throughout we get strange car samples, laser gun shots, ritualistic bits… it's a mess… a beautiful mess. 7. Return of the Fist * If you had been missing effects fear not for the fist shall avenge. We take off with congas and tribal dozes before the screams subdue in organic rhythms. Space age-effects and filter sweeps are treated to the entire collection of presets in less than two minutes. The whole disarray of madness pulls through by the end with a twisted melody (trust me they are scarce here) that actually works. The level of detail alone speaks tomes about the time this guy has been sitting in front of a sequencer to let his work do the talk for him. 8. Attitude Jets We start of with the sounds of a rotor engine gyrating (it is more like a helicopter actually), with more strange quasi-filter sweeps. The techno spice returns announcing synthetic, aggressiveness (as much as the BMP will permit) and minimalism throughout. Much like the third track I find a good doze of rhythms, but not nearly enough to keep me entertained all the way. The feeling is very transitory, meant to connect more complete works, but on it's own it barely stands against the outpour of quality we had been treated to up to this point. Is not bad, but I might go as far as calling it filler. 9. Depth Charger * Bus closes the book with the golden lock throwing a remix from the Slinky Wizards in collaboration with R.Biggs, blending elements of the previous tracks for an 11 minute recapitulation of what you might have missed earlier. It sounds like a progressive adagio balancing flowery lines, with vocodic wallows and a pace that remains moving and unthreatening. The woman chanting like some angel we might have hunt down later, makes sure the listener feels as comfortable as possible. “We most transport ourselves inside their skin and think of it as through their eyes – just to understand the thoughts that grind away the decisions of their actions.” It's pretty decent way to lock this trip. *Favourites All and all Quality surfaces not only when someone is able to reach a particular level creating his own style. The real challenge is to throw an album showing a variety of styles, making every ‘experiment' work. Bus went so far as to direct the Concrete Unlimited Orchestra in here. Who are they? Were did they come from? I don't know, they could be trained monkeys for all I care, but they did a great job just like is the case with the entire album. If you like to impress your friends and the girls by declaring yourself as a ‘psy progressive Dj'… and by that I mean ‘nothing over 145, dear' or you are simply a progressive-head it is clear this album might no be essential, but mandatory… keep telling yourself that at the time of actually purchasing it, you won't regret it.

haha... sorry... pulling your leg.... someone has to be the apathetic news bringer

you can get an easy breezy Reason manual in any news agent, with resonable selection, the publisher is Computer Focus Guide "the essential guide for reason" i think they had other ones and it's a mag... mine was 7 quid... something basic to get you going...

hmm... interesting daze approved might get it at some next month, just invested my last savings on headphones... priorities, priorities...

the tracklist is a sureshot but from the samples i wasn't all too sure... it's not the first time i would misjudge a release from previous... :/ btw.. is the cover blotter art? i see little squares... that would be kind of cool

I was really impressed witht the sound effects in war of the worlds... some juicy stuff in there

http://sonic-energy.net/audio/Basilisk_Mystic-Revelation.mp3

if it's jungle type of stuff it might be Roni Size or Clint Mansell... but for the seven dollars it costs i would just get the whole thing, it's a tremendous album and considering it was 1998... i would go as far as calling it revolutionary... but that's just me http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000009MZ...v=glance&n=5174

Compilation: Play Way Label: Doof Records Year: 2005 Format: CD 01. Electrypnose - Mario Bross [145 BPM's] 02. Ultratech - In the Hall of the Mountain [146] 03. Entropy - Technology [148] 04. Terranoise - Maybe You Are [148] 05. Iron Madness Vs. SD6 - Blues Mystery [147] 06. Energy Loop Vs. A.P.E - Hypnotic Spider [147] 07. Tsabeat Vs. Optical Human - CDx4 [144] 08. DMT Vs. Kreven - I Am Old [145] 09. Static Nation - Mechanic Dream [145] 01. Electrypnose - Mario Bross * The Biggest Swiss import these days besides Lindt chocolates might be Vince La Barde with his hectic trance-o-rama of IntellitTrance (Minimum requirements: two ears and half brain). This time around we reminisce about the days when running around eating mushrooms was rewarded rather than frowned upon. Thankfully the tune has only brushes of the original gig, it is more along the lines of retro-filtered presets imitating the polyphonic tune here and there, without going into full on Mario Bross version. Inside we find all the tall tale signs of Le Barde with the screechy synth's, diverse invertebrate rhythms and a doze funk. I'm still trying to recover from ‘Cypher' last year on Mind Games, but this is not half bad. 02. Ultratech - In the Hall of the Mountain I seem to have no recollection of this artist in the past. The cat is new and fits the Doof sound like ring in finger. There's a quote by the beginning from the movie No Escape pervading in the background with mild success. Musically speaking there's not much but standard issue rippling notes, included the ‘homage' to Swedish composer Edvard Grieg by the end. The beat tries to remain varied and it passes the test. Nice stereo panning with effects, can be mildly entertaining without raising my hairs overall. 03. Entropy - Technology * Omer2 and Pitt are back with an upgrade. After hearing their work in previous compilations last year, I find “Technology” a lot more eventful. Something taken out of a Goa Gil set with mind bending touches and bit more harmony, infused with twisted effects. The usual hard-hitting beats are there for a winning combo. 04. Terranoise - Maybe You Are [148] * Maxim Galinov returns for a second time after a successful debut last year. The force “Maybe you are” carries can be compared roughly to a Mac truck, loaded to the last corner. Even if it looses a bit of the potential afterwards, it is still relentless power trance with a great intro lightly spread at the top, much like a can of whip cream. 05. Iron Madness Vs. SD6 - Blues Mystery We are treated to a lengthy sample of some Resident Evil flick extending for almost a minute. From the last encounter with these two on Dirty South my impression of their work was rather bleak and slightly uninspired. The “Blues Mystery” is however, a step in the right direction. The basic structure is a peaker -once again- until kingdom come. The bluesy-type of break conjures a satisfying last stretch with clear potential on the floor. The notes seem to fit in there even if a little more tweak would have brought something more memorable in the end. 06. Energy Loop Vs. A.P.E - Hypnotic Spider* After taking off with some sort of spooky lullaby in high pitchers, we start getting pounded to walls. It takes a bit too long to really get up there, leaving no clues at the beginning of where we are heading. At least they don't ruin the ending for you, consisting of detuned lines literally making the track. Not bad for the newcomers. 07. Tsabeat Vs. Optical Human - CDx4* “No single space project in this area could be more impressive to man-kind or more important for the long range exploration of space”. The CDx4 stands on its own, in a perusal of techno diversions with a strong bass line and amusing effects, taking us through roads less traveled. The beat could be Gi'iwa material but is something else altogether. I haven't really heard much from Optical Human and the one track I know from Tsabeat is enough to conclude there is a fresh proposal here. 08. DMT Vs. Kreven - I Am Old* DMT and Creven dwell in deep waters, bending genres with a fast track that falls under with playful guitars by the break digging different textures and sounds, to break away the harsh cacophony Doof sometimes is known for. At the same time it turns somber at parts mixing both in a strange fondue of styles. It's playful and moving, showing they spend their time for this one… 09. Static Nation - Mechanic Dream * More newcomers rain down with thunder announcing melodies with long breezy pads and certain kinship with Psyfactor and Manifold for some reason. At least they might go well together. Interesting tune inspired by full moon on a graveyard just before dawn hits. * Favorites All and all : Cobra and AMS took their time to present a varied selection of tunes, looking to not stray too much from the usual sound, with interesting ideas spawning in the roster along with new artists. Play Way is an appealing piece of plastic for long-time Doof fans and folks looking to consume something different besides rosy, morning sounds coming from the holy land lately. It is the ying in the yang, or maybe backwards…we are dealing with the dark bit mmmk? and it does its job well for those who enjoy their power trance. Otherwise you might be looking for yang… or maybe its ying… Where to Get: http://www.saikosounds.com/english/display...ase.asp?id=5376 http://www.beatspace.com/dettagli/dettaglio.asp?id=2539 http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/doo/doo1cd020.html

hmm no entirely true... Windows XP uses new algorithms to reduce Registry fragmentation, allowing faster reads. Registry memory was been moved from kernel memory space to paged memory to increase capacity. And when the system or an application starts, the OS retrieves the required entries in the background for instant access when they are called on. This is just talking about speed issues...there were big changes were between 2000 (that was actually an NT5) and XP...

hold on what? Lyserg Lesson 2? horray dude!!

nice dude, highly enjoyable dreamy trance like is trade mark

i agree it does... props on 'anachronistic' (school is paying itself already ) but people here think it's tip of the top and anything after 1997 is not worth listening. I think the fact some people had their 'prime' at that time and the fact they remember music from then as the old days, clouds their judgements a lot... i will always have a soft spot for say... art of trance, but i mean, i know there's better stuff today and most of it sounds downright cheesy

tsss.. i was just talking about this album yesterday... sppoookee i really want to hear the last track... i'm curious
