Subradial - Bioloophorm : 1

If I compare Radi's musical tastes to most other teenagers I know then it's actually one of the best Oldschool psytrance is pretty cool you know! Sure his taste is a little limited but I think it's light years ahead of most teeny bopper boyband loving teenagers that plague this planet!

I'm also lucky that I got most of the rarities when they were released so obviously at a reasonable price. Of course there are some huge gaping holes in my collection that I have a desire to fill but although in the past I've paid up to 10 grand for an album (That's yen BTW ) I discovered that I would rather buy 10 new albums for that price. They key is patience, people say life is short but it's the longest thing you'll ever do & these old rare albums one day just show up in a record shop for an unbelievably cheap price because the owner doesn't know what it is. Just wait, I'm still waiting for a few things

If you can handle ambient then you should definitely try some. Often the drone soundscapes sound like they come right out of a dark movie. Lammergeyer - Birds of Prey This was an album made for a possible movie. Maybe you'd also like Juno Reactor's matrix soundtracks?

That's funny! How do you pirate something that is released for free? I don't mind that people download music. A lot of artists say they prefer it as most money comes from shows & the more people who steal their music the more people they are likely to pay to come to their shows. Or something along those lines. I myself cannot download either music or movies for one simple reason, I never listen or watch what I've downloaded. When I buy something I feel an obligation to myself to make the most of my experience. If I don't instantly love something I'll take the time to get to know it. If I downloaded something I didn't instantly love, I'd probably just delete it. I downloaded the movie "The Big Labowski" a couple of years ago. I've been told many times how great it is but I have not yet watched it. If I rented the DVD I would have. A crap personality flaw the sucks up a lot of my money.

Distant System Spiral Empire Celestial Dragon Records 2008 Tracklist 1. Astropolis 2. Equidistant 3. Light Echoes 4. Gravitational Vortices 5. Time Circles (Distant System Remix) 6. Outer Rim 7. Cloud Nebula 8. Astromech Starport Tyler Smith better known maybe as Androcell has changed the moniker & is out with a new album. I was expecting as the artist name had changed that style would have changed. For some reason I was expecting a completely beatless album which this is not. Instead it's a Ketamine laced trance album. Slow steady kicks, lot's of spacey atmospheres & beautiful beautiful melodies. I was not disappointed that I got the wrong idea about this album at all, I was in fact pleasantly surprised at the strength of Tyler's ideas, production & execution. 1. Astropolis Instantly we are treated to a long intro filled with spacey sounds, atmospheric drones & wet rushes. I can't tell if I'm by the sea or in the ocean of interplanetary space. When the melodious jabs come in it definitely feels like the latter. I feel like I'm taking off into the cosmos & the deep rushing I can hear is like the roar of the rocket engines in the distance behind me. The more bassy sounds take the journey deeper & further into the cold outer reaches. The beat kicks in & it's quite a strong kick drum but nicely layered in the track to give it a steady but relaxed push. The melody really adds a nice warm feel & the little wet acidic sounds scattered top off the spacey alien feel to it. A great start to the album, it's over 10 minutes long but it's over before you know it. the progression is great with the sounds & atmosphere being built up throughout & by the end it's almost rapturous. 2. Equidistant Deep drones in the background like solar wind & cascading little melodic noises falling all around really sets this track, for me, in hyperspace. Not the quick Star Wars jump to light speed kind of hyperspace but the Immaterium kind of hyperspace. A different dimension, a dimension of pure energy, where your mind drips off the walls of reality as your heart races into a slow pulse. The melody, the spacey ambience, the steady but relaxed beats all send my mind out into this warp where distance has no meaning. The atmospheric synth, long & deep adds an incredible atmosphere here & when the oldschool synth line comes in towards the end I'm agape with amazement. Truly amazing track. Fresh & Nostalgic at the same time. 3. Light Echoes A long intro builds up an atmosphere filled with suspense, & I am left feeling that the music is just going to kick of at any moment. The long spacey drones build and build the tension until suddenly you realise the beat has been in for some time. There was no kicking off as I felt but still the energy has managed to have been injected into it. The kick is pretty heavy again but layered nicely as to not dominate proceedings even on headphones. Different parts appear as if by magic & leave you wondering when they were introduced. The melody is one of these, suddenly it's just there inside my head, filling the music & breathing life into the spaces in between the sounds. 4. Gravitational Vortices First up you'll notice that this is much colder sounding. The wind has picked up in the drone work & it sounds like a very cold deep space wind, filled with nothing but space dust. The tiny melodies that permeate slightly before & just after the beat kicks in as well as the beat itself which is the heaviest so far add to the cold feeling of this track. The beat, the structure & even the sounds really remind me of Aes Dana on his last album Memory Shell but with enough of Tyler's touch to make it individual. Although the melody becomes the focal point and twisting & turning along it's journey, the whole atmosphere remains cold & distant. Very nice. 5. Time Circles (Distant System Remix) The original H.U .V.A Network track was on the album Distances & I will admit that I didn't really get it on that album. It wasn't bad but I feel like I missed the point. It was a bit to weird, and I like weird music believe me. This remix though makes much more sense for me. A rare case where the remix is better than the original & seeing as the original was by Solar Fields & Aes Dana you can take that as a good thing. This remix has more structure to it. More rhythm & more feeling. To be honest I can barely hear the original in it, if at all. It has more in common with the opening track of that album (Distances) in terms of the soft floaty dreaminess of it. 6. Outer Rim This is great. Way to mix it up while staying with the same feel. Although it's still definitely got that sci fi feel that present through the rest of the album, the music seems to have a more orchestral & a more glitchy feel to it. The beats are gravely as they crunch on the soundscape & the big string rushes sound like a space odyssey in their grandness. The lighter melody is one that just seems to ping out of the darkness. Really nice stuff,both different & very fitting. 7. Cloud Nebula As we enter the final part of this trip through space we finally get to what I was expecting. The real ambient parts where the kick is gone & we are left just with the atmospheric ambience of the spacial drones, the solar wind and very light, high pitch acidity in minor places. A very nice if too short track that expands the space we've been travelling to into a wider, emptier void! 8. Astromech Starport The space is empty of all objects. No stars, no planets, no cosmic dust. All that is here is the radio waves, sent from spaceports millenia ago but travelling ceaselessly carrying their message. The message of not requiring disk space or CPU power comes across in my mind as one of peace. Like trying to communicate that this message will not take over your system but in fact requires no space at all, if you'll take a look. This is a deceitful track though, as even though every time I feel like it's going to be a beatless finish, as soon as the message has been received, the crunchy beats kick in like a virus spreading the beautiful melody through the whole system bringing peace & harmony to my addled mind. If I was an alien computer system I might feel a little saddened that I had been duped but overall overjoyed by the joy that this had brought me. Fantastic track to end a great album. This album I think could easily have been released on Ultimae. The sounds is there (maybe due to the mastering by ultimae guys but probably due to Tyler's skill) it's soft, it's got some light/heavy kicks & a hell of a lot of atmosphere. It puts me in mind of Asura's last album Life² but this has more of a journey to it. A Journey through space & a lush one at that. One of the best releases of 2008 so far & I'll stick my neck out & say it will be at the end of the year. Definitely one to get believe me. Tyler (Quasga/Androcell) also did the artwork for this album which in my opinion fits the music very well www.quasga.info Discogs says this was released in 2007, the record label says February 2008. I couldn't get my hands on it until then so I'm going to believe that. Maybe the promos were released late 2007?

Everything on this page must be 1337

But it's one of the few goa mixes that really flows well IMO

Good choices Of the ishq, did you get the interchill or dakini version. Dakini is 2 disks & is fantastic

Hell yeah it was! I loved the old parties so much. How music could keep me in rapture for days still amazes me. Didn't spend much time in Goa but I prefer some of the Thai beach parties anyway

Well, Matt Hillier is in a league of his own. Evan has made some great stuff but even he can't compare to Matt

Well, you found it on your own & when someone else is asking for old school recommendations I expect you to recommend this track np Distance to Goa 5 Electric Universe - Stardiver

Yeah, the first copy of Schlabb 6 I bought from Quintrix was scratched to fuck but I couldn't be bothered going back in to Tokyo to take it back. Was a bit pissed of for sure!

The Infinity Project - Overwind

Don't let that put you off Solar Fields - Leaving Home or Solar Fields - Extended as they are fantastic. No harsh noises. Great melodies, structured & atmospheric.

I listen to quite a lot of Goa & Psy but for me I prefer it when I'm out & about. Not inside where I have paper thin walls & don't want to annoy the neighbours. I prefer more ambient when I'm in the house so that's what I'm usually listening to when I come here. Still a goa lover though

TIP Records Black Compilation Phosphorescent np Orichalcum - Alien Homes

I recommend for you Adham Shaikh - Journey to the Sun which has some lovely warm sounds & very story like and available Other people have already recommended you Ishq - Orchid, which I definitely second! Beautiful sounds but unfortunately out of stock in most online stores & at Dakini's website. Still it's worth the GBP30 it's being sold for on discogs. Although there are some cold sounds I find Solar Fields - Extended to be such a beautiful, warm/cold journey that it shouldn't be passed up. Still available here but probably not for long. I wanted to recommend Matt Coldrick & Matt Hillier - Elemental Journey - Absolute Ambient 2 available at psyshop. The other release on that label Music For A Busy Head is warm and fuzzy & available too. Elve - Infinite Garden & Ishvara - Magik Square Of The Sun were available at the website virtual world last time I checked but it seems to be down. Check back another time & maybe you'll be able to get them. The comp Oxycanta maybe beatless enough for you, the beats are all very subtle & is still available at Ultimae

Visuals like you got at really early goa parties! Simple yet very trippy! I like them, it's cool. I had the original Dragonfly release but got this re-release for the DVD. Love that Mix and I'm not usually a fan of Goa mixes as I like to hear the full tracks. The samples really do not do it justice! The record label in your signature!
