    Year: 2005

    Label: TIP World

    Cat-#: TIPW038

    Rating: 4/5

     

    A: T Funk

    B: Dust Kickers

     

    I'm really happy Quadra got to release one more vinyl. This one is a real nice treat. Full On? Yes, and it is good full on, psychedelic TIP style. Pity these were the very last ones.

     

    T Funk is a roller a groover... gets in yer ear and stays there in a good way. While dust kicker turns more trancey. But it's still rolling. Am I this easily converted? No!!! This is simply very very good full on music.

    Though I love the dignity everyone carries I think that the stuff stated above is exceptionally valid.

     

    Ektoplazm is beyond anything I could imagine... thusly I have yet to "plug in"

     

    Psynews with its associate suntrip connections...

     

    Seriously guys... get on it. I know you like each other, doesn't matter if you are from Toronto or some suburb of belgium.

     

    Whatever, you are on the same level the same vibration... and I'm drunk writing this so you are not gonna listen anyway...

     

    First of all what do we want to work out. Ektoplazm work as intended... nothing to do there... Suntrip works as intended nothing to do there...

     

    What is this Ekto-Trip thing going on?

    Recommendations for this year

    I'm gonna have to second that Miktek album from 2013... always enjoy finding people who actually like the stuff oneself enjoy!

     

    (highlite from 2013) Sugizo - Vesica Pisces, was and is a nice surprise... he's also the new sidekick to master otto the barbarian!

    (hgihlite from 2012) Loumuhappo - Pallit Ja Sielu, shit mad... as it should be ;)

    (highlite way back sometime 2010) Squarefeet - Flat Foot

     

    I'd suggest you have a look at the juno reactor remix albums, I enjoyed most of the remixes on there.

    Real electronica, Orbital

    The Progressive House scene of the 90s isn't too much appreciated but the recommendations above are all valid. I actually have Speedy J - G-Spot and can warmly recommend it, acidic progressive downtempo contemplative stuff that!

     

    Fluke, as mentioned above, is also very much overlooked. Remember boys and girls, fluke did the track Zion for The Matrix.

     

    Here's a recommendation from me... I have the Wipeout connection as a backup if anyone questions me. Fluke did tracks to it and so did Sasha & Orbital and in the end they're all progressive house.

    Good stuff in here, Aural Imbalance is really cool. Have this http://www.discogs.com/Aural-Imbalance-Proximity-Alert-Astral-Forest/release/9747 record and liking it. Would get more from AI if I had the luck of finding the records.

    Circles from Adam F, I like... but might not be everyones cup of atmospheric DnB, pretty busy percussion but the vibe is really chill

     

     

    Oh, you have to get a listen to T-Raenon.

    What music are you listening to right now?

    Just pushed the random button in my collection on discogs and it got me Miranda - Real Rush!

     

    http://www.discogs.com/Miranda-Real-Rush/release/27188

     

    Two bad tracks out of nine, can't get through Year 2000 and Freakshow. They're noisy and annoying. The rest of the tracks are some good shit indeed bumping this record up to a 8/10. I reviewed it about 10 years ago somewhere somehow, where is it let me look into it.

     

    rush... really do rush. Amazing energy pumping album, I can't stand not

    listening to this. Wicked dream is interesting but way to slow to get you

    anywhere, it's real rush which makes you rush all over the fu##in' place. The

    gun sequence is real trippy, if you got a nice system or good headphones you

    might imagine being able to feel the bullet rushing by. Le Passage has an

    of-world feel to it, nice beat and a wicked melody. Year 2000 doesn't begin

    very well but the latter half really kicks... aquarium is slow, but it has a

    nice groove, nice rythm, nice guitarrs, a very good track, 2'33" is where it's

    best and it just get's better, "...hope you like a lil aquarium". Ama-zon is

    one of the least good tracks on the cd, opens promising but it just get's

    pretty boring after a while. Disco is another one of those nice fast

    psychedelic dance tracks like 'le passage' and 'real rush', it's very good

    actually, nice twisted noises, and good melodies. Freak show, I must say this

    one is really the worst track on the cd, it's a loop of boring noise, maybe a

    few rythmical shifts but the same noise persists. Second steps to the stars is

    great, not very fast, not very psychedelic, but hypnotic and melodic, 4'36" is

    where it get's interesting, great stuff. 8/10 for this real rush album.

    The Gun Layer is actually pretty trippy ;)

    Dubstep in Psytrance?

    Hah! I'll probably try someday but I wouldn't make it my top priority.

     

    On another note, I got to see Shackelton live in Datcha (Fusion Festival). I wasn't impressed at all! He is supposed to be the master of dubstep but he kept playing dubstep without the breakbeats. Essentially he played dubstep with a four by four beat, which was utterly dissatisfying. This music style is most commonly known as Steppa... and... it's pretty boring stuff on a dancefloor.

    What do you think about fog

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    In 2008 a few weeks after a stint at The Fusion Festival (working and partying) I started biking back to Rostock. When I got about 2 hours into my journey I saw a grey curtain at the horizon. At first I cursed my luck at getting to slog through rain while on a bike, when the grey curtain finally reached me (or maybe the other way around) I realized to my surprise that this is not rain but some seriously thick fog. I was soaked within minutes and thought I would drown at any moment. Never have experienced such thickness to fog before, but I probably have to thank Muritz lake for that experience.

     

    Seems I forgot to answer the question. I don't think too much about the weather because I can't do much about it. It's there and quite frankly as long as it is I'm content (fog included).

    I'm scribbling notes here. Keep 'em coming. I'm an old fashioned bum, so I like getting my material needs satisfied from physical shops rather than internet. As it looks now the last two posts of books are on an internet availability only, so I have to get my lazy ass bum back into the warm comfort of a home and get on the online book stores. Hopefully the process of buying them is easy.
