OOOD - The Unwinding Mind

Updated again!

I'm downloading the Daytime Trance 1 mix. If it's nice I'll download more...

Fucking awesome, I just recognised a track from the second mix, it's at 1 hour 10 minutes and it's from a small Swiss label called Zodiac Records. Here's the Discogs link: http://www.discogs.com/release/469050 Didn't think anybody knows about that besidse me.

Yes indeed, allready checked it and the only thing I own is Space Buddha - Space Buddha and hell no, I won't trade that! Just out of curiosity: how much money would you ask for the CD?

I'm not talking about all of course, but I personally can't judge who is doing it for what reason so taking it personal when an artists changes his style to something I don't like seems rather silly to me. Besidse that according to your point of view psytrance is one of the most underground styles anyway so what do you expect them to change to? As somebody said before Acid Jazz is not that commercial either, still you think it's allready too much. And I dont' agree about people not bothering if an artist changes his style to something near pop: you seem to forget what kind of comments Infected Mushroom, Yahel or similar artists get here for their latest releases. Sure the comments have become less, but not because people start to like the music of those artists again but because they simply chose to ignore them. You don't have to do the same of course but I still don't really get why you freak out like that. Psytrance is not really that underground anymore for quite a time now imho. Edit: But to each his own I guess.

Sounds interesting, maybe you want to trade it? If yes, do you have a wantlist I can check. Maybe I'll have something for you.

I have the Deviant Electronic's album from that list, also not that cheap but I still don't wanna sell it. Bought it for 5£ or something like that if I remember right. At least I got Balagan and Transdimensional on vinyl, but don't have a clue how much they are worth actually.

The Cheaper Asia 2001 album caught my interest too, but I'm too broke to seriously think about it.

Have you seen what else the seller is giving out and how much he asks for it.

What styles are the mixes in? Guess I'll download them anyway soon but I still wanna know... Don't bother replying, I'm downloading right now...

How do you know that an artist (no matter if it's in this case or just generaly speaking) is NOT following his heart just because he changes to a style that is more commercial than the style he was doing before? Do you really think that all people doing commercial music just do it because of the money and not because they actually like it? Sure there are a lot of people that are in the business just because of the money, I don't doubt that. But still, there is some commercial music (from different genres) I actually like and enjoy so why shoulndn't artists be capable of doing the same? I personally would also not only stay with psy if I were able to produce music but I would also go for trance. Simply because I like that style, no matter how commercial it is. To me it sounds a bit like the typical psy-snob behaviour that some people in this scene show: an artist I used to like changes to a style I don't like, and since I don't like it the only reason the artist must have for changing is money. Kinda arrogant imho... I personally understand if an artist who is making the same style for years gets somewhat tired of it and changes to something completely different. In this case we are speaking about acid jazz: I don't know anything about that scene but is it really possible to make that much more money with a mediocre album than when you release a psy album?

I can just list my last order, maybe you will find something you like since you seemed to appreciate some of the stuff from my the order before. It's not only new stuff but still: schwamm | crazy beaches rmx | tomas andersson | mot matsalen! | ulysses & nicklcat | make you feel good | mathieu bouthier & m | make your own kind o | stephan bodzin vs romboy | ferdinand/phobos Btw I really like your minimal mix! The first tracks are not exactly my cup of tea but I like how the mix evolves. Especially from minute 18 on it really gets good!

Awesome deal the, congrats man!

Why are you quoting me? Seems like you've officialy lost it now: I can't beatmatch, not even thinking about producing any music so what do you want? If you are that frustrated by the psyscene then why YOU don't start to produce music, organise parties with the music you like or do something similar instead of just posting in an internet forum and making an idiot out of yourself?

Yes indeed, at least if we are speaking about the Classical Mushroom album and other tracks like Symmphonatic. I've listened to that album when I was tripping my tits of (with LSD I mean) the last time and I was even more impressed with the effects that that I was with the Twisted album from Hallucinogen. It's amazing what IM put in that album and how much better it sounds while on LSD than sober (and even sobber the album is a total blast imho).

You seem to be very concered about commercialism these days. Is it another unwritten rule that psyartists are only allowed to do the most underground styles now?

Imho it's not an unwritten rule, it's just how psytrancers want to see their music because they wanna feel special and superior to the listeners of trance. Which is quite a sad behaviour imho since if only your musical taste makes you special in your own eyes and nothing else, well, not a good sign imho. About rating which one is more original: I personaly couldn't do that right now, I'd have to check discogs to see which trance records from that period I have. I love both styles and I do remember that the end of the nineties was indeed a good period for trance. And I also remember the beginning of 2000 and onwards: psy minimal was getting big and for my personal taste it's the most boring thing ever so I'd rather listen to some regular trance for sure (oh wait, I did rate now ). And since you were speaking about commercialism: here in Switzerland you find a lot more psy (no matter if it's full-on, prog, dark or whatever) parties than regular trance parties, trance (club trance or whatever you wanna call it) is dead here nearly. There are some big raves from time to time with lots of styles including trance but not that much smaller parties with only trance anymore. Can't judge how original trance is today, haven't bought any really new releases in the last few months, but if you want something original then I would rather go for the electro/minimal stuff instead of psy and trance.
