  1. I have the album they made with the deviant from TIP. I can't remember how it sounded, neither can I remember being in a wow!-fuck this shit is good-state. But putting that aside I want to lift the 12" from Creamcrop the CCEP001 into the light and give a bump for the a-side track Elevation (Luxury Edit). http://www.discogs.com/Orichalcum-Elevation-Luxury-Edit-Egg-Cracked/release/137117 There's even a nice rip from it on there. Love how they tweaked the crap out of everything, proper psychedelic stuff.
  2. If I go to an event advertised as a psychedelic trance event I'd probably be pretty concerned if they squeezed in other genres of music. If I want to listen to dubstep I'd be in a club playing dubstep... no? And for the record I like dubstep, most is of course just cannon fodder... but the tracks that survives the ballistic tests are goodness through and through. Dubstep BPM range ~144 bpm, so I guess it works mixing with psy (if it's not the going nuts at 160+ BPM psy)... though the end result is probably horrible, maybe I should try and see how it sounds.
  3. Too much of anything is not good, a balance is sought.
  4. The Abominable really did grab me, but only at the end. I was expecting another historical horror plot unfold but it never did. This one actually does link itself up to the political uncertainties in europe of the 1920s and ultimately, hinted in the end, to the second world war. Actually I just discovered historical fiction mainly due to the sci-fi writers which I had precured books from started writing the stuff instead of post-apocalyptic/post-economic breakdown/cyber punk sci-fi which they originally started off with. Had they kept on going in the same vein I'd probably never or rather much later discovered this genre. So I will make a note of the books you have mentioned above because I've never heard about them. I'd suggest you do re-read The Baroque Cycle (Quicksilver, The Confusion, The System Of The World), it's extensive tiring and long but in the end a very rewarding trilogy from Stephenson.
  5. Aha, no sorry... I'm used to read everything in english. I see how odd that comment above looks now, because I would not be able to read it in italian. Though it would probably be a nice challenge. If I enjoy it, which looks rather possible when a rummage through the first few pages of the preface, I'll most likely get the rest of his books. The same goes for Follet of course. Doesn't actually matter when the plot takes place. Read Kim Stanley Robinson - Shaman just recently, taking place during the ice age. Historical it is yet it depends on fictional characters (naturally) to establish a decently accurate representation of how life was back then. If you haven't read Anathem by Neal Stephenson yet I would suggest you do, this one is entirely fiction but with monastery thematics throughout. I couldn't help thinking about it once I started on The Name Of The Rose.
  6. OK. I bought both Eco & Follet, though unfortunately Umberto Eco I could only find in swedish... oh well. Thx anyway. Oh, by the way. Just finished of Dan Simmons The Abominable, I really thought it would take the same shape of genre as The Terror and Drood but it is seriously a lot less fantastic (not in a bad way) and a lot more believeable. I really well written thriller, I recommend.
  7. my favorites... can't go any more sinister.
  8. stampa med leroy still works nicely.... standards.
  9. I wish I knew how to post em so they'd just play instead of pushin' buttons. http://s7.postimg.org/abmllq3dl/trippy_mushroom.gif

  11. I find all of them here... http://www.discogs.com/groups/topic/325767
  12. You've got a straight ass mutha for a spine radi! Are you working out or something, because I can't figure how anyone could sleep in a sitting position... If I fall asleep in a seated position my body crumbles and I wake up with not only a big fat headache...
  13. Stop it dudes/dudettes!!! we're straying off topic in the off topic. http://25.media.tumblr.com/b8b701eb2e58631b031758c6718db10a/tumblr_mjcl9kwrHc1ql2603o2_400.gif
  14. It's not hard! It's tritanium! Tritanium Gay?
  15. Probably belongs in the gem vicinity. Give it a go, it might make you happy.
  16. you actually like falling asleep in a sitting position!? shit! my back complains heavily when I'm napping on a sofa or anything apart from a bed.
  17. Cloud Atlas & The Matrix (that's the first movie... right) are two of the best productions ever when it comes to motion picture. Reloaded and Revolution is real good action movies, it's like The Fast And The Furious in a sci-fi setting, so with some good friends and some good beers they go down as sincerly good movies. But! Cloud Atlas & The Matrix is stuff you can watch on your own, extrapolate, analyze, configure.
  18. The original post I made was not directed to you particularly Rotwang. Is that why you missunderstood?
