Recently Juno Reactor - Gods & Monsters Hol Baumann - Human

I was doing it for ages! Now I use photobucket to link to np again

I bought this & have given it a listen, a casual listen but enough to make a few judgments/recommendations. Those of you expecting something from the past! No chance, you know that Ben doesn't stand still or go backwards. Been there done that is the attitude I'm sure. For those expecting something new, something different, something totally unexpected but still quality I'd recommend you take a sniff when you get a chance. There are vocals & in the first two tracks I'd much rather they weren't there. The music under them though is top notch, so good I'd hope for some instrumental versions of them. The next load of tracks are more downbeat, instrumental tracks (smattering of vocals in some) & it ends in a kind of 60's rock ballad. It has nothing to do with psy-trance apart from the fact it was mistakenly put in the psy-trance section in the shop. It has a definite anime feel, from all the artwork which is really cool to the music that really feels like it need some accompanying anime movie. All topped off by the last track. Many here wont like it, if you think you might hate don't even bother! I like it though

Demon Tea

That's much to short & why I never bought it.It looked good but I'll wait until it is at least half price for this half album. Then he should wait for inspiration to hit again. It should, the artist needs a bit of patience. If he has reached the end of his musical productivity then chances are what he made already isn't going to be anything outstanding IMO. At that point he should release the 40 minutes worth of tracks on a mini album (at half the price of a FULL album), an EP or separately on various compilations. Under no circumstances should he charge full price for half an album or release an album with half fillers (or all fillers like some artists IMO). This is of course all my opinion but it pisses me off when I pay full price for an album & it's over in about 30 minutes. Especially if the musics good as I am then desperate for more. These are all around the hour mark which for me is not too bad. Of course I want that extra 20 minutes like there should be but an hour is just enough time to lose myself in the music.

Still one of the best goa mixes I've got! Bought the original dragonfly releases & the recent Hypnotic CD&DVD release.

By the way mate, your pictures never show. Discogs doesn't allow hotlinking. You have to go through a free host like photobucket or the like. np Juno Reactor - Gods & Monsters

Silentes has some decent ambient as well, Spielerei & Mantacoup - Cold War was brilliant

The Circular Ruins - Conjunction CD1

I've still never heard anything from Stress Assassin If you'd like to send me a few CDs so I can understand his sound, I'd love to recommend you something Sorry for the unhelpful reply, you just looked so sad

I get post on a saturday! Unfortunately not on a sunday though

Ordered that a few days ago Looking forward to this one for sure

Just read the 1st few pages of your sig link Went very well with what I'm playing now YB - Last Days of Gravity

Why don't you review it?

Wait for the last track

Yeah! I wish I could drive to France My problem is not when I get it but when I can listen to it. My bird has both monday & tuesday off (same as me this week) so I wont get any time to properly listen to it then. I have to work all week after that so it might be next saturday or sunday before I can delve into it

How's the Hol Baumann? & what do you think of the Mutagene? np

Why am I so jealous that you get to listen to all those albums I already have? I'll reiterate just how much I love that Cymphonic album! It has over the last month crept to the top of my 2007 chill chart! So so soooooooooooooo good! A real grower, good choice, enjoy!

I'm going to recommend 2 labels. The 1st label is PAR-2 Productions. They have some really amazing, trippy trance. They make trance that really really fits my taste. A shame they haven't had as much exposure as they deserve as they are one of the best labels out there today. It's all modern stuff with an oldschool feel. Jikkenteki put up his new album as a free download. Get it here. It's really good The second label I'd recommend is Databloem. A great contemporary ambient label. Every single release sounds so boring at first & really needs to a lot of time and attention for you to understand the real beauty of it but when they unfold, just about every single release on Databloem & it's CDr sub label dataObscura is an amazing trip

Did you get it from Saiko Sounds! I keep all classics in my saiko wishlist. They very occasionally get stuff back in stock, then it's time to snap it up. Got this last night

Damn this is good! No chance of a CD release?
