RAH

I wouln't call sub 6 progressive, maybe the remixes who were relased by VP... with progressive artists, but who needs love songs is HOMega... since when does that label release prog? i dunno everybody else, but im getting tired of this full on bashing, yes a lot of it sucks, and is predictacable but if you dare look beyond the 2 second stereotypes people will find good quality music, go check out v/a - build your reactor and tell me thats bad full on, go check out mr peculiar, scorb, did you check out thew wizak twizack? there's stuff out there, if you dislike full on thats one thing but bashing it cause cause you don't find anything to your taste, is different than bashing it because is just sucks...

i think is nice, but would all comments look like that? or is that the sub-comments part? another thing, realistically speaking could this be incorporated into psynews ?

Intel centrino... mobile roxxor a groupy? ... can't wait to turn into a psy trance superstar myself... i am already writting my own lyrics

i partly answered this one on my other comment, a few posts up... but regarding your message, you are once again entering personal fights between members here and not the actual content of what you might say about the music... some people might dislike you, but i personally respect what you might have to say about it, given your previous background and experience, which is a lot more than i have to say for myself... this still all about taste, though, so im not expecting you to go bash say.. derango, cause i know you don't really like that kind of music... but if you are talking about, antix or something like that i might listen a bit more carefully...

making a constructive criticism: i think all the praises/hate about the a reviews and the offtopic comments could be avoided if some sort of poll system could be implemented so that readers could vote to see if they found the review useful or not, just a vote... kind of like amazon... i guess you can negatively review something and you can do it objectively/subjectively, respectfully/disrespectfully, in a constructive manner or in a destructive manner... i guess is all how you write things...

kriss i would like to think people here, in the majority of the cases would be able to carry a debate about their comments on relatively friendly terms. By all means write your critical comments and reviews man, is not like you don't speak your mind up already

Awww... *opens a beer* sunday entertainment... first of all: i think it would be great if more people did this, i can't speak about others, and how they would feel.., but personally criticism is welcomed ... why not i think trying to maintain it on topic and discussing the review can be done in the reviews section in one message. the idea is too foster a conversation about the type of music being discussed and a review is suppossed to that, so as long as you're talking about the cd... maybe that be a reflection of a review or not is still on topic... thats how i see it anyway... i agree with you and stalker i think it'd be a good idea

i think being all strict about the reciews section as we try to keep it... some of this comments could moved to that new thread, or some could just simply be deleted... like this one for instance

nice man, go for it, is always good to hear what people, that actually produce this kind of music have to say

commercial moments? like... commercial metal or something?

Artist: Ghreg on Earth Album: SIGILWEAVER Label: Wirikiuta Records / Mistress of Evil Records Web: www.wirikuta.at Year: 2005 Format: CD Songs: 1. Table Of Contents 2. WithInfinite [144 BPM] 3. The Invisible College [144] 4. Sigilweaver [142] 5. Thoth Sphere [150] 6. Hex Vex Elixir [150] 7. Book Of Lies [145] 8. Siren Stars [148] 9. Quintessence Unfurls [145] What's this about The month is November and a nebulous object is rapidly descending through the gray sky, leaving a jag of thin contrail clouds in an otherwise dim an uneventful afternoon by the coasts of San Francisco , California . The local residents fearing an alien invasion have already notified the authorities, and they all expectantly wait the flying object to tumble down and reveal its passenger. The crowd that has gathered around the landing strip, gasps a sight of relief when a white man with long blond hair, reading glasses, and a grin from ear-to-ear comes out of the ship… just waving the peace sign, looking the part of an interplanetary, traveler-hippie kind of dude... Ghreg on Earth, otherwise known as Phosphene, or simply ‘Ghreg' as his mates call him, has been previously featured in Soular, Timecode, Mistress of Evil, Innersound records and Spectral Concepts. In his journey for an original sound SigilWeaver, awakens magickal visions of dark gloomy tales, without the overuse of gurgling effects splashing everywhere. A cinematic adventure presenting ominous soundscape designs, power chords and fiery pulsations, coaxing the ear into a state of pure introspection. The 9-track debut forces the journey inwards, while the sharp turns unexpectedly surface in every corner. Per-song break-down 1. Table Of Contents Even though we are talking about a minute-long track, the sound is completely spectral surrounding you in its web of resonance, like a motion picture without really needing the video part. “Table of Contents” paves the introduction for the upcoming track, as a communion of the ancient occult with a high doze of glitchy industrial savoir flair. 2. WithInfinite * Following the quick intro, “WithinInfinite” makes its presence stand out from the ambient prologue very quickly. The synth's rumble in riffs and for once in a long time, the bass seems to have a little movement and diversity complementing the track, instead of twitching on the same notes until the cows come home. The effects drifting in the periphery maintain a gloomy atmosfear. It is best to get used to it by this point, cause it might morph, but it doesn't really go away. 3. The Invisible College * Where do the young magicians go when they graduate from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft? That's right to "The Invisible College". That being said, this is definitely not PG material, unless you happened to grow up in Rosemary's crib. The wings haven't really unfurled all the way yet, but it's caustic enough, well churned and damn heavy. Effects rain with distortion, guitars whimper and voices roar. They school you with growls passing through a combo of filters, not forgetting to mention this is still stomping material. 4. Sigilweaver * When you find a track with the album's title it is expected to be a highlight, or in the least you hope it will carry the all-encompassing theme. Well it does not disappoint. The use of alternative sound banks to create a mysterious environment, without resorting to the usual suspects seems to work here. Such is the case with the chimes pouring here and there. Once again the voice sampling is very ghostly, confusing the ear even more to the whole picture, instead of drifting attention to the words. It remains very psy at the same time, in tuneful but metal sort of way. Something strange occurs at around the 6th minute, is like an intentional skip… I think… 5. Thoth Sphere * Using the same shock tactics Skinny Puppy or Front 242 relied on back in the day, the sphere delivers a form of subversive communication, in a way that is never forgotten. What's the message? "Fire, humanity, frequency, preparation, active DNA" Heavy stuff. Once again the order of the day is a series of shrieks that melt with real screams, as if the poor bastard was having his appendix removed. I really like the beat which overall is fast as hell, but warm and funky, mutating all the time. 6. Hex Vex Elixir Glitchy sampling loaded with an impressive roster of sounds, dragging out a slow intro. I get the feeling of being in slow motion for most of the way, only to leap forward in the “water of life”. An alternative rhythm comes in at around the 4th minute… but even so, it always feels like a really long break. Experimental stuff in deed, without any hints of predictability. A bit too diffused in an IDM'ish kind of way, which works like a double edged sword throughout, helping in a few parts and loosing cohesion in others. 7. Book Of Lies * The “Book of Lies” is a hefty and I mean hefty tome, bridging a number of different themes in less than nine minutes. The good part is personally the swelling riff after the break… trashed with a Crungey Crunch, pumping that Boxboro vintage Amp until the tubes explode. The dusky lead appears later on as the listener is completely immersed in the web of sound. 8. Siren Stars The progression of the “Siren Star” makes most descriptions useless. I love how the delays smear on the walls indefinitely, stretching the fabric of time. After all "I find the unusual spectrum of the siren star quite - pleasing." As well. 9. Quintessence Unfurls * Ghreg closes the book with my personal stand out. In this last chapter he has saved all the best trills and arpeggios hinting Goa, while the overall premise is in deed… quintessence. Great use of original FX as it has been the norm throughout. The climax alone is worth checking out. It would have been interesting to see this particular sound seep a bit more on to the other tracks, as the outcome is truly magickal. * Favourites All and all Skipping all laureate pretexts, funky graphics, or evil track names, the album delivers straightforward dark trance influenced by the industrial wave of the old days, a lot of riffs and a doze of psygressive here and there. The unique home-baked style sounds like a hybrid of metal trance, with an uncompromising attention to detail, giving a different outlook to the usual psychedelic imagery. If you find yourself thinking of the apple pie with these qualities, then grab a fork and enjoy... in excess.

don't gots the dough if money hadn't been an issue i would have drifted for this ones: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00023J59...ronics&v=glance anyway, i just toked.. and the difference with my old sony's is clear... the senheiser actually kick butt, i think im going to keep them... i had actually gotten used to my sony's bass sounding 'boxy' but with the other's is much cleaer not too mention the miidd and highs have a lot more prescence... ill be damned...

well from my personal experience i consider myself with good ears, like most of you hear i music... a lot... and psy trance takes advantage of the whole frequency range... to the point where i received the senheiser PX 100's today (http://www.averyelectronics.com/Electronics/Avery/shop.php?c=Electronics&i=B000089GN3) and after half a day of listening im selling them cause they're just not cutting it with me. Taking them as comparison with my good ol trustworthy Sony MDR-V300... not going to get into why im changing them here exactly. all i am saying is... i am waiting for later tonight, smoking a doobie and double checking... i honestly surprice myself when i smoke and listen to music. the difference is veryy palpable. I ussually have to lower the volume to 1/3 to when i listen to music andim straight, becaue for one reason or another everything sounds a lot louder. I can hear people talking on the street and i live on a third floor, two doors and 2 rooms away. whilst im straight i cannot. anyway, this is my personal experience, and i just wanted to see if people that smoke undergo similar changes or if i'm just deluding myself

i have always been interested in that aspect myself, with groups that work together all the time, especially if there is two or more... they all seem to have different answers... (more info down down at my sig > interviews ) on that note... is there a difference between a collaboration and a versus? the first one sounds like a group of people helping each other, the other one sounds like a battle...

Ghreg on earth - book of lies

geeks it crahsed mine too, but thats cause the internal file system did not recognized the format and it tried to open it as a text.. 4 megs of text, course it's going to hang... unless you have a couple of gigs to spare in your RAM or in the virtual memory and i sure as hell dont firefox has this pesky habit of using all resources to display files, no matter how big it is... i dunno if they fixed the issues in later versions, but i hate upgrading my FF, every time i do i loose all skins cause they upgarde every week or something.. annoying...

so in the spirit of keeping this thread about accostic research and the such, we won't get into the discussion how how blueberries is actually more helpful for hearing frequency ranges, than say... normal skunk... but im interested in this subject... any personal experiences where you perceive you can actually hear better if you smoke?

wtf

big wigs - vibraphone (fuzzion rmx) (idea fx) sensient - lipofuct (contact lens)

i enjoy psy trance with or without pschedelics... but not only help a bit... it's not like drinking a beer or smoking a cigarette... is a a beating... literally a mental beating only equivalent to getting in the ring with Mike Tyson. So go and medidate and do this and that, but man... from what i have gathered... getting up there to that state of intoxication seems, physically and psycologically impossible without the right tools... this is all in my experience...

good looks great cover art killargh bass line

sounds deadly...

wirikuta, psyshop, psy-armonics, saiko, and i been checking out beatspace which looks good too and they seem to have a good selection

Ticon - zero six after

it's not, they started with trancey-psy influence, but they moved on. technically is progressive house, and they are damn good at it
