Hehe i got a bunch of stickers I received over the years, so i add a few to every order.. Nice surprise for the buyer

Collinteki?

I'd faint before I have a chance to choose.

No one would do that. I have Lu Blu by my side.

The new goa labels... There are just hunderds from them Really, there is just so much good music. When I was compiling my Freshly Cut Tomato (soon on real pressed CD btw ) there was so much good music! I was so sad that some tracks got left out of the compilation.

I think that it illustrates that cronodevir has no idea about what monitors are and how they work.

I tried to be funny, but I got owned.

Phobium - Future Uncertain Wirikuta Recordings WKTCD06 Released June 2007 1 I Know Where To Go Now (7:38) 2 Tonight Is Forever (8:08) 3 Come Now (8:07) 4 Not Human (9:27) 5 We're All Crazy (7:36) 6 Unsane Networking (8:41) 7 Perpetual Motion (8:52) 8 Different Ways (8:11) 9 Retro Square (10:02) I was surprised to see that no one reviewed this album so far, and we're already a few months after the release date. I'm not a fan of this dark-psy-fullon-forest music but every once in a while I hear something I really enjoy - just like this album just here. Norwegian Phobium (Henning Helland Ottesen) has posted a recorded live set of his music for free at his website - http://www.phobium.net - so I downloaded it just to hear what's it is going to be like. I was so much impressed by how much it kickd ass, so I ordered his album and it was one of the most decisions I made this year. So let's go: Let me start by saying that the artwork is preety much fugly. I see no thought behind it, and the print (or design) quality really sucks ass. Luckily, the music is the total opposite of it. I Know Where To Go Now (T1) introduces us to the Phobium sound. very fast (I'd say over 150 bpm, without checking) and very "forestly", if you know what I mean. No melodies here, just rich textured sounds which will sound really good at 4am. Tonight Is Forever (T2) is even better - not a single moment of relaxation. This is full power music! Carefully placed breaks and transitions outcome in some pleasant surprises many times throughout the track(s). Come Now (T3) takes a turn to the darker side, if it wasn't already aggressive enough. Not Human (T4) wasn't interesting. We're All Crazy (T5) is definitely crazy - this is on the border of hardcore, and I love it. This is probably the worst sounding track on this album, but it is lots of fun and smiles. Unsane Networking (T6) is one of the highlights here. Very rich layered sounds with thought behind them in almost a melodical way, not just randomly thrown in sounds like I hear many times. Perpetual Motion starts different, a bit minimal (as much as it can be minimal in this genre) and a non 1/16ish bassline. That was enough to make my ear interested, but when the goa (yes, goa.) came in I was so happy. I am a very big fan of goa trance, and whenever someone tries to make new-school goa trance I'm hooked in seconds. This is the case here - especially the second half of the track. It's simply mind blowing. Different Ways (T8) is not any worse than Perpetual Motion. Not as much goa in here, but this is one hell of a psychedelic track with lots of great hooks in it. Retro Square (T9) shows the atmospheric side of Phobium, with some almost cheesy (god-forbid) melodies. Nonetheless, it managed to be extremely trippy and interesting. Brilliant. Bottom line: A bit more variety in the middle part of the album and a better cover and this would be a perfect album. This is good forest music - very psychedelic, great textures and a high "killlargh1@#21%" factor. It would be really interesting to hear more goaish music from him, as he can definitely do it. Give it a listen even if you don't usually listen to this kind of music, maybe it will change your mind. Favorites: 1, 2, 5, 6, 7(!!), 8(!!!), 9(!).

you can, you just need to figure out how. depends on your setup.

best definition of a kick drum ever. anyway, stealing a kick alone is not good enough usually, i always eq, compress and sometimes even use the pencil tool to make it fit my own sound. using a kick straight away will mostly suck, no matter how good it is. actually, there is no such thing as a good kick. there is a kick that fits the rest of your mix, and stealing a kick for that is like using a preset and tweaking it.

all but goasia

wrong thread i think

witchcraft - witchcraft magic.

Mastering is not only software - you also need very good monitors, good acoustics and a lot of experience.

i did.

Seems like repair is going to be cheaper than I expected. I hope it covers all aspects of non-working stuff in it.

good luck looking forward to hear everything

That's why they are closing only now and not 2 years ago.

I think they actually like it. That's the sad thing. How can your musical taste from complex music to kids' crap. Usually it goes the opposite.

people are tired of fullon. fullon sucked so much in the last few years so everyone is listening to prog. just look how many new prog labels are successful. it's all about trends. in 3 years a new style will be dominant and the other labels will close. it all goes round and round.

vibrasphere - indian summer, one of the best banging prog tracks ever ticon - waiting for the knights rocks as well. if we're talking about new music - suncontrolspecies album is excellent.
