RAH

cheers, will look into it

did you perform these changes yourself? would you mind providing the specific product names?... my left pad teared recently and i have been wanting to change the cable for a longer version since i got these. i know you can ordered them online on the sen-site though cheers

ditto, beast sound, going deaf myself as we speak. :posford:

all the best bro, let me know if there's anything i can do to help. cheers.

that's all very poetic and romantic, but reality works differently man. Even if you do offer people a centralized web portal were they could, in theory, purchase all the music they wanted, they still won't buy, beacuse it's already available for free... why the fuck, am i gonna spend money on something when i can get for free? The people that buy music in this scene very often feel no sense of attachment to files. This off course, does not stop anyone from downloading, because... it's free and that's an unbeatable price. Morals, that certainly has not worked, because we don't really feel like it's a big deal, not even when I download the spare DIVX movie here and there. so what's the solution? i have no idea, i wrecked my brain to find it for far too long to care much about it these days. Let's see where it takes us, bottom line is distributors have finally started to get a grip about things, and in the end that might tighten quality control a bit, it might not... sales are way down anyway, but the music keeps coming out... my personal theory is, someone is using it this setup for laundering... but i'm afraid i've said too much

Bus - Return of the Fist my god, how fuckin good is this track

oh nice one, followed ya up on that one, sounded quite nice actually... It was good to see his sound develop from the 'early' days of wildthings. Let's see how it packs up against the whole thing. i also got the new sensient... didn't have it, quite a shame really. Reading this i just noticed i forgot the new penta... damn... next month i guess...

has anybody else heard of these people?... besides their own mothers i mean?

Sondrie - http://www.no-mad.com/ former roomates from college days... very talented people involved, very good music.

it helps you have a tracklist, just so people know what they are downloading

great, i will wait for your impressions before i proceed.

Found this rather interesting chillout release - http://www.saikosounds.com/english/display...ase.asp?id=6321 Welder - Vines and Streams... seems like solid chillout... i have it on my to-buy list along bliminal next month figured i would ask to see if anyone has heard this yet? any good news?

trying ot think of day-time activities as parties, you will have no problem finding. - Tate modern museum is a must... never dissapoints and it's a great way to spend half day... especially if a spliff is smoked beforehand and you got some company, or even by yourself, i guess... - kew gardens during the day... we tripped there once, gorgeous - Westbourne Studio or Bed bar... were really chilled to go have beer, talk with people and just kill time before a clubbing session.. I think they were both by paddington if remember correctly... definately worth checking out.

i'm going to go insane and randomly start strangling people if this stuff does not come online soon. come on folks!! where's saiko with punctual delivery when you need it.. grrrr

nuff said, i need to check it out then...

no? how about Halava? Procs? Electrypnose? Ocelot then? Penta perhaps? If you are going to look for 'dark' to bash then stop naming derivative acts and go to the source. we did man, a lot of these main acts have a very good idea of writing a cheesy ass line to peak on your 7th roll of the night... and they were looking for something a little more complex just like cybernetika and that effort needs to be applauded.

Artist: Sattel Battle Album: Sounds Cool Label: Gi’iwa Productions CAT: GGPCCD003 Sonic-energy.net: http://www.sonic-energy.net/core/content/view/329/2/ 01.Sounds Cool 03.Dosomethingwithyourlife 03.Rabel Rabel 04.Sratim Metzuyarim 05.Work in Space 06.Hey Hop 07.Ghat Whore 08.Strangless 09.Homegrown 10.2 Step Chase 11.Fuck It 12.24 Shots 13.Sky Divers Elad Weinberg is one adaptable feller, building his name with the monikers Tsabeat and Sattel Battle steadily throughout the years. Tsabeat has made rounds before with Doof, Vertigo, Mistress of Evil, Parvati and Zaikadelic amongst others. On the sphere of night-time influences, his work stands well on it’s own, but we won’t dwell on that side today. Let’s talk about funky tunes, inspired on the semi-soumi side of things, including breaks and retro lines in the Gi’iwa flair, without forgetting the old console games, otherwise it might just not be cult enough these days. Sounds Cool is supposed to be the highlight here as the album name indicates, but it feels like a well polished intro. Fresh beats, crispy lines in the nightmare before x-mas style, and slow developments along the way. Here’s the real kicker, it’s really melodic, magical, enchanted but never really sweet-toothed… and we don’t want cavities now, do we? DoSomethingWithYourLife is one my highlights, probably because of that infectious bass, but rest of the track engrains every bit to the break-beat style so well, the end result is worth a listen. Rabel Rebel sounds like a strange kid of the 80’s and the synth’s make it hard to refute. It feels slightly too retro in that awkward way I would rather not remember, even if the percussion alone makes for an amazing track. Shame on the mastering though. Sratim Metzuyarim is a noisy homage to Tim Robbins’ spooky/ magical vision. Inside, layers of synth duels battle melodic tugs on one side, and musical Dadaism on the other. Let’s not forget the little bells and you have one strange mother. Work In Space starts getting a bit more down to business with the type of beats we expect from this act, accompanied by an appropriate level of effects manipulation through voices and other cute embellishments. In between the madness, Elad finds time to sneak a cheeky line from the old school wave, but is so well disguised in the mechanical flow of delays and effects, it hardly sounds out place for a spugedelic fan. This is still very much retro camp, but is quite interesting at that. Hey Hop takes a detour through some funked up panoramas inspired on future-past, with guitar bits and the whole riled up figure of organic accompaniments that had gone amiss this far. Wretch the whole thing up and slice it with the manic Sattel treatment, until it’s wobbly enough to bark. Lighthearted and entertaining slack. Ghat Whore is downright brilliant. By this point of the album things have loosened up from retro on to the simply strange. Gi’iwa juice. At every corner you look there’s a different door leading to wacky netherworlds conveying dirty, filthy, motion. This is the kind of stuff I had been expecting. Strangless brings back some of that Caribbean Cruise style that to me ears just falls flat as a sonic cliché. The whole thing moves past that quite quickly, razing through myriad themes and moods. At the end I keep thinking this is how a wedding would sound, if I decided to show up spangled on DMT and way too much cheap champagne. I want to hate it (and I do most of the times) but it’s definitely funny. Homegrown -as we all know- is the good shit. Think hydro and we are getting close to the idea. Once again, this is funked up, twisted to the core style I enjoy the most. Fucked up trance with a few melodic lines barely scrapping the surface of this never-ending whaler. 2 Step chase is in deed, about the beat structure and the bass line arrangement driving through tumultuous surroundings of warped slippery notes. A very convincing finale with a melodic climax. It’s uplifting, it’s worth the money. Fuck it, is the original version of the track Ex Uus remixed for Musica Discordia. The main differences are clearly the jumpy bass and refined synth treatment. You will still hear the glissandi backbone to hold the track together and it sounds just as good as the previous version, with noticeable but slight changes. 24 shots starts slowing things down to the kind of style we begun, the BPM counter is definitely going down and the funk without the big thunk is the main highlight. Nothing much to add from what has been stated before. A little droning overall for my taste, but this is nearly lounge material with the classy percussion treats and careful arrangement. Sky Divers produced with Roi Cohen, offer the most complex beat of the lot, to the point where I don’t even know what the fuck it is. I’m not even sure where to categorize it. It smells fresh, it works and there’s good reason to think there might be something new here… Big Bang is the hidden track at minute ten : something. Make no mistake, this perverted country type of thing -with the Arabian night's stuck between- serves to line dance and is intended for shits and giggles mostly. SoundsCool ends up being a full ride and not just a collection of tracks, but I guess any good album should be exactly that these days. I won’t fall into the cliché, but the music inside is quite refreshing. Almost to the point where I would say it was sorely needed in our small pie of musical works. Sattel Battle, has comfortably placed itself in a niche that borrows influences from retro Atari sounds, Suomi, twisted trance, funked up mashes and god knows what else, to do something new with it. I don’t know you, but in my view that should be recognized… a little ingenuity, a fair amount of skill to make it work, and a lot of balls to try out new things where most dare not.

green instant is brilliant, i dunno what happened to clima, such a promising label I just picked up Fractal Cowboys/the many faces - Entre Nous it's kicking butt right about now

dunno about the samples, but the cover looks nice yeah it was intended for printing... i actually have a version (roughly twice the size of the one being distributed with the download) that was fitted for digipack printing. It's slighly different than the internet version on the back as well... i can send you a copy if you wish what really stopped the CD production was the tonality it acquired in CYMK which did not translate well from thr RGB version... and... the fact we were getting slighly raped by distro's to print and publish... i guess the important part was the music, which i never found if you liked or you didn't on with the topic...
