I'm with abasio. Phreaky - Over The Moon's build-up is indeed mighty fine.

Shpongle are one of the few artists in the scene I can still listen to as compared to the majority of psy, trancey or ambient, it's very unrepetitive and repetition fast bores me. They're supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

I think it's okay. A little bare-boned and simplistic with very little multi-layering for umpteenth time-listeners to sink their teeth into and discover new sounds but, yeah, it's okay. Felt it lacked a little warmth too but the crappy bitrate might be responsible for that. Spoken like a genuine music lover. Mucho respecto.

No, Posford shouldn't take an apprentice. Remember what happened when God hired Jesus and Mohammed as apprentices? Much bloodshed.

We hatesssss them, Precious.

Agreed, features some real classics.

You know, by selling that CD you're selling a little part of your soul. I will pray for you.

Yeah, maybe. Kinda hope so but will wait and see; can't force these things.

You know, some people feel the same about the Backstreet Boys and Take That so hopefully the knowledge you're not the only lunatic with awful taste in music will be of some comfort.

I played Tristan's Audiodrome for the first time in years the other night and it sounded pretty ace. Not quite ace enough to inspire me to play another trance album immediately afterwards but, still, I was pleasantly surprised and maybe I'll start playing trance more than once or twice a week as I have been these past few months.

A little bit of oldschool goa but, as it was getting on towards the end of the night, mainly Shpongle and Shulman. All I can think is you're trying to get the visualiser to run without playing an audio file - which it won't do.

I think it looks ace myself. At the end of a night whilst on mushrooms a few months ago I had it running through my PC to my 32inch hi-def widescreen TV and it captivated me for a good hour or two. Couldn't take my eyes off it.

Milkdrop for the win. It wees on WMP11 from a great height and leaves it, not surprisingly, smelling of wee.

Jesus was criticised for daring to speak the truth too. Good on him I say, it's tough accepting and admitting a genre you once loved and cared for has degenerated into repetitve, unintelligent nonsense.

Posford himself confirmed he is working on a third Hallucinogen album on the recently released Twisted DVD so it's definately on, when it will be finished and released, however, is another story and I certainly don't expect to see it this year. Quite shitty? I suggest you be re-baptised in the Holy Church of Godford as you seem to have lost faith in the path of the Posfordarian. Shame on you.

Well said, Radster, but I think we'll see Shpongle 4 before the third Hallucininininininogen album.

Go change your pants and stop pretending.

This should really be in the news section but whatever. The forthcoming album (TWSCD34) features Ott, Posford, Youth, Jackson & 'the drummer' in a beautiful acoustic performance of classics under a new arrangement and was recorded live from the Brixton Academy in May 2007 apparently. I stickied my pants twice after hearing the news and expect you will too.

I've not heard the album but what you've written above is exactly what I feared it might be be. I might still get it and see for myself but I'm getting rather tired of towntempo stuff, regardless of what artists and labels are involved.
