Was just listening to Mai Mai! New Jaia album? Great

Ishq- Fluid Earth

Ooooohhh! Take the KURO! It's well worth it

I must listen to the REV album I have. I remember quite liking it then never listening to it again

His soul is dead! Maybe when he dies everyone will praise his professional abilities?

Just started Haruki Murakami - Dance Dance Dance gripping from the get go! how he manages to make such mundane everyday things into such trippy literature I can't fathom. I am just glad he can

I have not read the book but I used to go to a club like you described! It was called Heaven & Hell and had a lush heaven room with morning trance leading to chillout and a fantastic hell room with techno leading to gabba! It was an ace concept but not quite to my musical tastes. Don't worry, gaywhale (loves whale dick [sorry just love that sig]) has no idea what is psychedelic! Even with such an open concept where just about any answer is right, his is wrong

Ishq - Orchid

It's the same with everyone except..... Ian Huntley! Nobody ever went on about what a good janitor he was!

It's all been said previously in the thread but I agree that any music that you are not into can generally all sound the same because you don't really listen to it. Almost every genre has some great stuff in it but also a lot of shit but if you don't listen to a genre it is hard to tell the difference between good and bad. I think that only the genres you really listen to can you really understand what is quality and what is not. When I get into a genre I'll often first buy what is popular and "highly recommended" and like it at first then delve deeper and realise those popular releases were nothing compared to what is out there. But take me back in time to when I was starting out and I wouldn't be able to tell much difference.

I'm hoping to do an abstract mix sometime soon, gonna remix this

To be honest I never really liked the godfather movie (runs and hides) and when I read a book after seeing the movie I can't help but picture the movie

What happened with the guest status Lemmi? Anyway, the topic title says always but the actual poll question says usually! Probably not the best way to do a poll topic but then again it seemed to work out all right

They have the name but do they have the members?

Green Oms - Coming Through In Waves

So what you are saying is that Ganster movies are better than books? I must admit I have never read any gangster books. I really don't like reading a book to which I have already seen the movie as when I read my mind just imagines what I have already seen on the screen. I want to picture my own characters not see some mug actors face and this spoils it for me. I do however like to see a movie after I have read the book because it is great to see someone else's take on it. Usually it is disappointing as it is not my take but still interesting non-the-less.

I'm still here and the scene has definitely degraded in the last few years. Even 5 years ago it was still really good but the number of parties is declining, moving out of the capital and more difficult to find decent ones. Some of the festival events though are still really good.

Your intrinsic dislike of him probably stems from when you wanted him to make you his special little helper but he rejected you, prefering relations with a monkey! As for Psy covers try 11 vs. Symphonics - Space Criminal from Far East Technology which is a great track.

Save The Robot - Battle Of The Mind

Damn these threads that make me want to buy 20 new pairs of headphones! At the moment I am using Bose quiet comfort 2 after some rave reviews but they were pretty disappointing. The sound from them is great but the noise cancelling (which is their main feature) sucks. Walking down the street I can hear every car, on the train I can hear all the screaming kids while listening to ambient. Very comfortable though, have worn them for up to 12 hours with no discomfort on my elephantine ears I used to have the Sony noise cancelling ones which were great but fucked up after 3 years

For some reason this sounds like such a beautiful description

Artist: Dialog> Title: Music For Imaginary Movies Label: Dialog Music Released: 2006 Style: Ambient, IDM, Breakbeat Tracklist 1 Blacklist (3:49) 2 Abandoned (6:48) 3 Into the Light (6:28) 4 Mindeep (6:04) 5 Low (5:18) 6 Nautilus (7:26) 7 Angel Trap (6:57) 8 Glitter (5:02) Dialog> is Andy Smith from London and Music for Imaginary Movies is a nice albeit short album which touches on ambient, IDM and breakbeat with dark atmospheres. some great melodic leads and bits of glitch. This album as the title suggests has a real cinematic feel to it. Filled with atmosphere and real feeling there is a lot to keep your mind alert while being open enough for the listener to add his or her own details to the story. There are some very nice ideas here and well executed. My favourite track is Low with its beautiful atmosphere and grand feeling. My least favourite is Glitter which feels out of place and has too much rock in it for me. My main problem with the album though is its length. There are only 8 tracks and non of them are particularly long so the album is over far too quickly. I would very much like to here more from Dialog, hopefully a new album with more tracks or longer tracks. For more info go to http://www.dialogmusic.com or click on the album cover for samples. 1. Blacklist The first track is an atmospheric, glitchy ambient track. The drones in the background build a dark, midnight atmosphere whereas the glitchy sounds make me feel like I am standing in the middle of a building site at night with huge machinery looming over me. A very nice start. 2. Abandoned The second track is more upbeat with a nice simple breakbeat through it. The background is littered with trippy little noises my favourite of which sound to me like small imaginary creatures hidden from human knowledge except for their light chirping at night. When the beat breaks down the first time we are treated to a real atmosphere building melodic synth drone that has a real cinematic feel to it. Add to this a lush melody that sounds like it has come out of a mid nineties acid trip and a similarly originated vocal and we have a real gem of a track. 3. Into The Light This track has a more trancey feel with a 4-4 beat, early progressive psy like sounds and a warm simple melody. The bassline carries the track well giving it movement while the shuffling sounds under the beat make it feel like it's stationary, as if the music is vibrating on the spot or dancing in the middle of the room. Stationary movement only made possible by music. Another grand sounding synth drone gives a lot of atmosphere. I imagine myself in middle of the dancefloor waiting for the beat to kick back in. When it does it's a nice old chilled yet trancey breakbeat. Another top notch track here. 4. Mindeep What's on your mind? The inquisitive sample that repeats through the track has a dark almost melancholic feel to it and does exactly what a vocal sample should to music, it adds a human touch to help the listener relate the feeling of the track to a visual scene. I can picture a scene with 2 men who have met in a poorly lit parking lot, one of them clearly nervous so his senior asks him to share his troubles. I am then free to extrapolate the story into a tale of paranoid delusions or real conspiracies. 5. Low A heavy bassline and a subtle yet bright melody sounds like an ethereal ray of light glimmering in the dark night air. As time passes the glimmer becomes more visible but the night gets darker and darker. The bass growls deeper and from the dark night comes a standout melody. This melody definitely catches your attention from the first listen and is for me embodiment of deep atmospheric movie scores. Such emotion has come through this sound which started out as a small glimmer in the darkness but ended up lighting up the whole world. 6. Nautilus It would have been hard to follow Low with a similar track so I think this much heavier, upbeat track was a good choice. They are very different and therefore avoiding the disappointment in a track despite its obvious merits. The beat here is a little heavier than I prefer and it does have a tendency to dominate the track distracting from the nice synth work and psychedelic sounds creeping in and out. Although it's very different it does seem to flow nicely from the last track, like a different scene in the same movie. 7. Angel Trap With the tempo dropping and the atmosphere a little more open I get the feeling of a winding down. As if the tightly coiled tension of the bulk of the story is now reaching the natural conclusion. The melodic sounds float through the air as does a strange oscillating sound. A not so grand but still very nice cinematic drone covers brief stabs of chime and melody giving a kind of ending feel to it. 8. Glitter This final track does not have quite the feeling of finality that the penultimate track has. It is more upbeat and cheerful and it makes me feel like the second track played on the end credits so when at the cinema some people get up to leave while others remain until the lights come on. The beats are big with an almost rock feeling to them accentuated by the electric guitars. The track is so far divorced from the rest of the album which has such a lush almost orchestral feel to it that it can only be end credits. This is probably my least favourite track on the album. There are some nice elements like the piano keys and soft melody but overall it's too abrasive for my taste.
