  1. Let me describe you my situation...

     

    I was heavily into psy production, well something like 4 years ago. Because of my studies I had to stop everything...I just couldn't do both....Now as I'm coming to an end of studies I have more time...to cut things short....many things have changed since, and I lost track of what kind of software do I need to make some music...

     

    So can you give me some recommendations concerning which software should I install......I need everything: sound editors, sequencers, synths...everything and more....and also which sound card do you recommend me to buy......notice it must be in lower price range...

     

     

    Thank you in advance...

  2. I will do a party with Kluster the 9th of october on about 20 km from ANtwerp (Mechelen), but I would say, drop me a line at joske_vranken@hotmail.com for more info :)

    Ok...that's cool...;))) i probably will ...

     

    Just to see if you remember me...i was (and still consider me as) member here in old good days;))

    my old mail "implant@goatrance.com"

  3. Uh...when i heard "silence" for the first time...on "The Definition Of Goa"

    back then in 1996 (or was it 1997?) it was a killer track....so OOOD is very

    special band for me...;)))

  4. Ahhh....Finally I got this one...My favorite band has become even better....;)

    Juno really kicks with this one...full of great tribal

    rythms...PERFECT...Pistolero

    is more than great...Badimo is very hard and dark...which makes it GREAT;))

    Other tracks too....10 out of 10....

    A classic release from FR...This is one of their most known...It's psychedelic

    trance at it's best...When I say psychedelic

    i mean on sound like this one...Full of squeky sounds and acidish

    atmosphere;))...Well this CD takes off with "Breathe"

    which is very nice dreamy song...and one of my favourites here...Next is

    "Pyramid"...well do I need to say anything

    else about this one? I think not...;)) 3rd track here is "Kozmotron (1 And

    2)"...it has litle more bass and it's kinda harder,

    but it has melodies too...After that is "Synthetic Flesh" but let's go straight

    to "Skinflint"...it's a song that could be released

    even today...it sounds like it's relased nowdays from some isra-alien...;)))

    GREAT track.........."VTOL." is a fast track with

    nice melodies and it's pretty easy to listen...(it remainds me on some

    Hallucinogen's work)...Next one, "Pleiadian Landing"

    is pretty nice too...it sounds really oldschool (like whole album..;))) and has

    some really (for me) atmospheric GOA samples.

    And there are just two tracks left..."Elektron Blender" and "Chug"...while

    "Chug" is litle slower tune..."Elektron Blender" is

    great song...full of psychedelic melodies...and releaxed strings....with great

    samples...complete full on track...

    Conclusion, if you're sick of minimal sound of 2000nd then try to find this

    CD...it's great psychedelic trance like we used to

    like...and it's pretty refreshing to play it once in a while...Grade: 10/10...

    Great...Pretty stompin' release...great hard beats, dark atmosphere...

    just perfect for the ones who like that kind of sound...I just don't know who

    FOL and Bonky are...FOL should be: Ramamurtu Gresbek, Troy Leidich And Joshua

    Gablan...and Bonky is Onno Borgen...but who are these people...they sure make

    great music...i'm sure that this should sound great on parties, and i

    recommend you to buy this CD...Grade: 8/10

    Review:

     

    Uh...I feel so heavenly...YES HEAVENLY...this compilation has so great chilled

    vibe...

    Transient once again prooved that they are very serious label. Ok let's start.

    This is ambient compilation with many great artists. I must admit that i

    haven't heard for

    many of them...but they sure make great tunes...this cd takes you off with tuen

    from "Zencats"

    it has great speech (from Richard Burton) from the "War of The Worlds".

    Follows, two chilled

    tracks from "Sueno Latino" and "Auracom" (also great tunes). Then mellow d&b

    from "Quaid" (9/10:)

    After that we have one truli great track with great melody from "Audioguys"...I

    really like this

    track...Deep basses, nice melodies...heavenly horns will make you feel floating

    on clouds;)))

    I will jump over next few songs to describe my favorite from this CD...it's

    track number nine

    "Lumo : Almost Where?"...wow...so...so...uh...i can't describe...it's not weird

    but it's not

    ordinary neither;)))) the best ambient track i heard lately...uh those melodies

    will make you

    so happy...And the last track is from "Darshan"...i'm sure that most of you

    have already heard

    this track on FR's "re:evolution 2" (i think)...that's it...This CD is pure

    gold it will have

    10 out of 10 from me....BUY IT...STEAL IT...do whatever you want...but you must

    have this one..;))

    UH...I forgot to say if anyone know, where i can find more stuff from

    "Lumo"...notice me on my

    mail, 10x.

    Review:

     

    Debut release from new UK label, Zerotonin Records. And it's pretty nice...at

    least for me. I would describe this album as a 2000 album on a 1996 way...It

    has a lot of influences from other artist...I could hear a litle IM's sound,

    litle (older) Cosmosis...but after all Deviant Species has their own unique

    sound...It's music with plenty of side effects, great percusion and also great

    melodies...But, don't think that this is melodic album...it is not...it's

    something in between and i think that this would rock on parties...This album

    will get great 8.5/10, from me...

    Review:

     

    Second in the series of Global Psychedelic Trance kicks...listening this comp

    now days can be

    litleweird cause it's definitely outdated...but most of the songs sounds great

    even today.

    First CD is fast and second is chilled...Favorite tracks from the first CD are

    "X-Dream - Protoplasm"..."Tufaan - Tufaan (Green Nuns Rmx)"...and not to

    mention Pyramid...

    i think that there is not one Psychedelic sould in this universe who don't know

    about this tune.

    Rest are average...

    Now about ambient CD...well my impression is litle low cause i've listened new

    SZ compilation

    few days ago..."Global Psy. Chill Out vol1" and it's MUCH better than

    this...(after all 4 years

    make this difference;). But favorite songs...offcourse X-Dream again...and both

    Cybersnack tracks...

    Infinity Project tracks are not bad...well...much CD2 is much more better than

    CD1...

    Overal Grade for both CDs...: 7.5/10

  12. Lovers of AP press back;)))) Heh...really this comp is something that i would

    describe Flying Rhino's type of sound in some couple of years...dark,

    repetitive weirdo electro sounds, GREAT atmosphere. BUT I find that best way

    of listening to this comp is if you play it in the background and doing

    something else, cause it can be boring sometimes. anyway...Grade:8.5

    Review:

     

    Compilation made after "Burning Man 98" festival, it's really hard for my taste

    and I don't like it much, althought there is one good track...Track 2 isn't

    that bad "Bufo : Green Giant" it has nice rythm and side samples...others just

    aren't my cup of tea....;((

    Review:

     

    Hm...when i first heard this compilation i dind't have some special opinion

    about it... i tought that it is bad actually, but after few listenings i

    consider this SZ's release very good, excellent actually. This is chill out

    compilation with excellent artists and excellent songs too..;) It is made for

    listenings on the beach or something like that;)) Great track on first cd is

    "Deep : Smokers Delight", it's great tune

    with relaxed analog guitar all along it. And my favorite on both CDs is tune

    from second disc from Gabriel Le Mar, called "Unlimited Love"... What to say I

    almost can feel smell of sea and salt in it...;)))

    EXCELLENT!!! Also good track is track 3 from cd2...

    "Ju Ju Space Jazz : Undercover Mystic" with great horns ...there is no bad

    tracks on either of cds...My Grade:

    8/10

  15. I got this CD yesterday...and i must say that majority of songs on cd are pure

    sh*t...they are not even psy...

    only decent songs here are Angel:Voodoo Files and

    Loopus in Fabula: Metello's dance...and design of the box and cd is also very

    bad...very BAD start for Surreal...Grade: 1.5/10

    Review:

     

    This is one pretty interesting release from Spiral Trax (Sweden).

    Very hard style, well wraped with special attention on weirdo sounds

    and effects...This, under any circumstances is not only melodic album,

    but along the whole album you'll be stoned by the melodies that

    come and go...Very...hm..."plastic melodies"...complexity...

    unidentified sounds, whole weirdo psychedelic atmosphere makes this CD

    very good buy...I found these tracks very hard for single reviewing...cause, as

    i said above, they are very complex...so i guess that you'll have to buy this

    CD;)) You won't be dissapointed.

    Grade: 8.5/10

  17. WOW...Atomic brings to us another darkness on plastic...

    first...i must say that i more like mixed version of this album...dino done

    quite a job here...(as usuall;))...what to say, very dark...Atomic has it's

    own style and this comp. represent that...and i think that Snug's track is the

    one that made me stay without a word...find out why...and buy this

    compilation....;))8/10

  18. Good piece of plastic...i haven't heard first album...but i consider this one

    as a cheesy one...anyway...i have no problem with that....i like it...it's

    very listenable...7.5/10

    Review:

     

    Finally i got this one...and hey...i must say that this CD rocks...it's

    awesome...

    It's somehow dark but you will meet crazy melodies through the whole disc...

    Both melodies and dark atmosphere fit together perfectly...I recommend this

    one to everyone...BUY TALAMASCA...It is not hard it is not soft....it's

    perfect...

    I must congratulate to Lestat for track 6...this is the best track i heard in

    some

    last months (years?)...You MUST hear Telepathic Atmospheres it has those

    female ethno samples...It is the influence of the Balkans...that's typical

    Balkan ethno sound...so spiritual so nice...i recommend to other artists to

    try consider doing same thing...cause...it would be innovative and in the same

    it would bring back spirituality to psy trance, that we love...so go buy this

    one and listen to track 6...and you'll be stoned how good it is...

    Rating.....9/10................and btw...very nice cover...;)))
