What if the world actually did end in 2012 and now we're living in some purgatory hellscape or something? Does anyone remember being happy after December 21st 2012? Happier than you were before? I think not. The world has gone to hell and the doomsday cultists were right, we just didn't notice 😂 Actually my daughter was born in 2015 and has brought unbridled joy to my life. Got a dog last year and he is awesome! If this is the apocalypse then I am all for it 👍

19 and a half years on and I am still really digging this release 😊 Dakini records are still quite active on bandcamp but their music is a bit expensive for me. I did buy their Suno Mix Tapes, amazing how good AI music can sound 😲

Time to wind down

When you really get in to a track, do you ever play it so much that you hate it? I love psy, ambient and most electronica because it doesn't get stuck in your head too much. Pop drives me up the wall because if I ever do like a song, it won't leave me alone until I despise it. Currently listening to Singularity 2:001 Kuro - K.T.T. Oh my god, Planet BEN & James - Repeater is coming soon

Decided to see what the gif from my signature actually was (amazing modern internet tools ay?) Some random J-pop artist 😂 2:48 and You've got my sig

While these were good earphones and sounded great, I haven't used them in years. My current endgame are the Final Audio A6000s, not only do they sound amazing but they are so light that I can wear them all day. Currently on a 6 hour listening session as I left work early and worked from a coffee shop so I could not interact with people, and I have zero fatigue wearing these. They sound as good or better than IEMs that cost 2 or 3 times as much. I highly recommend.

How. No one has bought anything today in.... 9 years 😳 🤯 Not today, but one week ago I got this Redmi Pad Pro 6 - a nice midrange table with a keyboard case. I prefer this to a lot of the 2 in 1 designs as the keyboard case sits on your lap properly. It's big enough to make watching movies on it good, and the keyboard is spacious enough to actually type on. Yay! 🙌

Scorb - Scorb I'm on a nostalgia binge 😆

Oh yeah. Gotta love me some Prana. I used to subscribe to Matsuri records on Bandcamp and 80% of their stuff was Prana. I didn't complain (until they went months and months without releasing anything on a monthly subscription: not cool) Nice choice!

Not a lot of love for this stellar compilation. A really good snapshot of Flying Rhino's style at the time. Smooth, dark but light, trippy Goa I have a folder just for Flying Rhino records and I bought everything they released and they still get played in heavy rotation. This, the first Singularity, First, THird, Fourth and Fifth Flight, Black and White Rhino, the Re:evolutions are all highlights. Wish they had a rebirth like some of the other older labels.

Man, people hated this when it first came out. It was just so minimal and the melody only people wouldn't stand it. I like a good melody, and this is not providing that, but I also like rhythm, and I adore psychedelic details peaking out of every nook and cranny, and that's what this album provides. Really really good, if you can stomach minimal. The only thing I won't like is the really loud sample right at the end. Sometimes I will doze to this album and that ending is like a big old slap to the face.

There are 3 singularity compilations This one is the most old school 2:001 was more like Flying Rhino's smoother, evolved style (Post re:evolution) and third one felt a bit poppier but has grown on me over the years. Still love this one the best though 💕

Absolutely no love for this album? I may not listen to it as much as I used to, but that's only because Gus Till has so much else to listen to and I am lying, I still listen to this quite a lot, but then I listen to music a lot, not all day every day, but close to it as I travel a lot and skyve off work too much.

Or support him directly on Bandcamp

Almost no love on this forum for Scorb? You can get it cheap on Discogs Still an amazing release 20 years later

Loving this album. I never really gave it much love when it was first released, but I have always kept it on my player but not chosen it in ages. It randomly came on today after finishing another album and I instantly thought "Why have I not been listening to this every day?" Very psychedelic, tonnes of acid synths, everything I like in my psy

Definitely a maybe. I am trying to steer away from my cell phone. Over the years, smartphones have become the jack of all trades, but as the saying goes, a master of none. When I listened to music on my phone, I streamed low quality garbage, so I got a stand alone player and listen to my collection again. When I played games on my phone, I played crappy cell phone games, so I got a retro handheld and now play Mario, Sonic, Mortal Kombat, Rainbow Islands and all other 8 bit & 16 bit games from my youth. When I read on my phone I read like a book every six months, so I got an e-reader and now read 20+ books a year. I clung on to my phone for longer for internet browsing but recently got a bigger tablet with a keyboard (don't really need a laptop for the light usage I have) and it has transformed how I use the internet. Much less doomscrolling and much more engagement, I even email my parents more often How long will this renaissance last? Not sure, this forum is still pretty dead 💀 Hopefully we can get some decent chat going, yeah? In the meantime, I'll look through the old reviews for inspiration of what to listen to for the first time in years 😁

I love that you resurrected a 20 year old thread to make your first one line comment I actually enjoy all of Posford's projects. Some of his later Shpongle stuff does verge on being too cheesy, but Are You Shpongled? Makes up for any later over cheese. I would imagine that many people would now say his project under his own name is the weakest, but I still really like it. Just needs a bit more time and attention to enjoy than his more maximal offerings.

That track does seem different in style to other Miranda tracks I have heard, much less psy and much more regular trance, so I could see how it is by someone else.

Logic Bomb - Unlimited NP Future Uncertain This is another one of those long forgotten albums I have decided to give another chance to all these years later and am left wondering "why did I not listen to this more often?" Stunning, sharp, acidic, psychedelic!

2 weekend days off and no time to relax (family stuff) Basically the only time I have to myself is after everyone else has gone to bed, so I stay up way too late doing anything that's not family stuff. That generally means I will be here in the wee hours and I may be doing well or destitute. Guess which one from each post

I have been here since 2005, do I count as an old timer? It's actually really nice to be back and I hope to stay (I have said that before) but the forum is looking pretty dead. Recently it seems to be me and Radi (or whoever is pretending to be Radi) argue about things that don't really exist. Fun times? Probably would be more fun with more people.

Got it—your €30 earbuds sound like your dad’s car stereo, which sounds almost as good as your E848s, which sound better than most modern audio tech, except when they don’t. I think we’re hearing the same music, just in very different ways. 😄 Anyway, I’ll leave it here—I’ve enjoyed the surreal ride. Catch you on another thread, maybe one with fewer mysterious model numbers and fewer caps lock accidents!

This is one of those compilations that stays with you for a long time. Different artists making tracks based on a shared theme, being put together the create an "album" experience. Everything flows together perfectly , like everyone was in collaboration and it ended up as a very cohesive album that I have revisited more often than any other psytrance comp

Recently saw the new Superman Movie I thought it was good. It was a perfect reboot for the DCEU It didn't bother with Superman's origin story as that has been done to death and just landed us in on the action. It was a great introduction to him and the supporting characters, each one was done justice in my eyes. There was a good balance of humour and action. I heard a lot of complaints that too many characters were introduced without enough going on with them, but I saw this as a plus, the universe felt already lived in. Also there were not that many characters introduced in this movie and the critics that thought there were may want to get tested for ADHD or something, if they find the few superheroes on display her confusing, then they have deeper problems that we need to get in to.
