The Infinity Project - Feeling Weird

He was holding back, he wasn't being cooperative, he wasn't giving me the answers I needed & finally I felt like he was playing games

Thank God! Aye me too! Next time you see a HUGE list from me in the what new music did you buy today thread you'll know I've recovered

Genetic - Trancemission

Nice!!! Especially yey!

hip hop? does it say "Fuck" every other word? np MFG - The Prophecy

People with talent spend most of their time indulging that talent, creating music in this case in respect to what they love. People without talent spend far more time marketing themselves as talented & so often get more recognition than people much more talented than themselves. In all walks of life it is not usually the most talented who is the most popular but in fact vice versa! DJs have time to promote themselves, to scout what people want to hear & therefore play to the crowd & be idolised because they don't have to spend their time creating!

Well the cover looks good. Might get it if I solve my financial woes Nice cover! Nice music?

Tandu - Multimoods

Yo!

Bastards Just when I have no money :pissed:

shpongle - behind closed eyelids

even those aren't beatless! subtle beats are very nice. I like nice floaty ambient with subtle beats that come in a nd out but aren't the focal point of the track.

Dimension 5 - Flow

I have no idea! I play a lot of CDs on CD players and it doesn't record how many times I play them I also recently deleted everything off my ipod so all that info is lost too! I'd guess TIP - The Answer Tripswitch - Deer Park would both be up there though

Nice! Any chance of showing us the cover art? I'm sure Kuba + Chillcode = beautiful music, beautiful cover!

Various Artists Mainspring Motion Par-2 Productions 2007 Psychedelic Trance Okay, so Par-2 productions is a fledgling label in the early stages & this is only their 3rd release so far. Luckily for me these guys seem to have the exact same taste in upbeat music as I do. On the 1st comp, A Walk Through Neptune's Garden & on Jikkenteki's masterpiece of a double CD album I had finally found new music being released that reminded me of the good old days of goa, but with a modern touch! There are many out there that say that goa is dead or has evolved into some non-psychedelic crap that sounds like it has been cooked up by some 13 year old in 5 minutes on his days PC. Either that or that people are just rehashing the same old sounds from the past with nothing new to involve the listener. Well, Par-2 seems to have evolved the music in a way that is true to the true roots of goa but modernised. Think suntrip but in a slightly different direction, a little crazier 6 more psychedelically twisted. 1. Amygadala - Oxylerator II So we open with a semi dark atmospheric ambience but it's quick to introduce a pounding beat. Minimal at first but soon accompanied by a lot of psychedelic sounds. I'm put in mind of Flying Rhino circa Velocity. The pre prog, prog that was so much more than than prog we have nowadays. More minimal but less boring! Maximal with the sound effects & ambience. A good opener to the compilation. 2. Anakoluth - Vaporizing Glares I've seen this guy on psynews but I never even knew he was an artist, let alone an artist who made music so much to my taste. I feel with this track that Goa lives, psychedelic to it's roots, so many weird noises making up this tune, driving but not speeding. Not a lot of melody just weird and a lot of psychedelic sounds, ambience & twists & turns along the way to keep it interesting. I'll be looking forward to more releases from our friend here! 3. Prosect - Tribalogic (Amygadala Remix) A beaty but minimal intro with trippy (but maybe a bit too much if you're too far gone) sounds but quickly the empty space fills out and we are left with a fat track! I'm really looking forward to hearing this on the dancefloor as wherever I am I want to move my body. Around 2:30 a beautiful wet synth comes in and gives this real energy, I'm actually disappointed when it leaves but it teases back in without quite making it. It is replaced later by an amazing evolving melody that just makes my brain ejaculate seratonin all over the place! 4. Zekazy - Inspiration Drainer This guy's track on A Walk Through Neptune's Garden was definitely one of the highlights & this track has a similar energy & feeling without being too samey or recycled. Undefinable audio signature. heavy beats, drum rolls, layers of weird sounds with secondary melodies that are oh so enjoyable but that I can't recall later so they manage to stay fresh the next time I hear them. 5. Symphonics vs 11 - D.B.S.S. We are getting into fullon territory here with a rolling baseline & structures very reminiscent of a lot of forgettable & crap fullon. It still has the random noises & psychedelia of the previous tracks but the baseline is far to prominent! I can see a lot of people hearing this one track on a sample & branding the whole CD as shit, which is a real shame. This track would actually be really good if you took out the baseline, maybe that's becasue I'm more of a home listener these days. I know that this kind of baseline works well on the dancefloor but it reminds me too much of shitty tracks that have used the same one. If I'd never heard this particular baseline before then maybe I wouldn't mind it but unfortunately it's too prominent & for me takes over the whole track which is a real shame because the rest of the track is great, just totally ruined by this one baseline! 6. Fizzy - Hymn in Honor of Symphonics I'll forgive the lazy spelling of Honour in the title & say that this is much more like it! Yes there is a baseline again but this time it fits in much better with the rest of the track, I don't feel like I've heard it a million times before & it makes me want to move & most of all it's not the main focal point of the entire fucking track. It's great to see someone nowadays who is able to make a 12+ minute trance track & have the skills to keep it interesting throughout. A slight breakdown followed by a sample "Hisashiburi dane" It's been a long time. Then it kicks in proper with such an angelic melody, random though it is a first it gains cohesiveness as it goes along and manages to melt my brain each time I hear it! After the melody comes driving synth lines that just poke red hot acid into my already melted brain! When an artist you've never heard of with such a silly name makes a piece of music good enough to put a smile on your face and give you optimism for the future of the scene it has to be a good thing. I just hope he becomes more well known within our small scene! 7. Jikkenteki vs Symphonics vs 11 - 3 Blind Mice Straight in, no intro, no pretense, just up front & upbeat with atmosphere. Nice glitchy melodies, a reserved background baseline & a more upfront synthline all adds up to good good good! The baseline is a little more prominent in some of the more minimal parts of the track but when the proper sounds are flying about it's not too in your face & just drives the track like a good baseline should do. Especially when the acidic 2nd synthline comes in, you barely notice the baseline anymore. 8. E-Mantra - Crop Circles The intro is almost orchestral, almost sci-fi too but it doesn't take long for the beat to take your mind off of whatever you were thinking (or is that just my poor short term memory?). anyway this track, for me, manages to be dark without being crappy dark psy! In the vein of MFG when they were dark. Quite an achievement I think. It's a bit harder than MFG's earlier stuff & less fullon than their later stuff. It's nice psy trance hinting at darkness rather than trying & failing to be dark! 9. Prosect - Dr. Ivan & The Mad Peyote With a track title so unbelievably shit you know that the music is either going to be undeniably shit or so fucked up & crazy that you just can't get enough.....so....which way is it? Well, the answer is thankfully the latter. This is some crazy psychedelic, technological madness. Trippy, acidic, strange, fun, weird, better make sure that nobody's watching you dance to this crazy stuff are all worthy adjectives. I've not heard this on the dancefloor but I'm sure it would be a challenge. It stops & starts without any constant rhythm but it keeps going. I don't see any psy lovers leaving the dancefloor when this comes on but I don see a lot of confused bodies at least from those not entirely wasted! Crazy craziness with a degree in crazology from the university of south madsley in craze london! The only thing I would change about this CD is is the baseline that Rapes track 5! Otherwise it's pretty much perfect according to my taste. It has left me eagerly awaiting new albums from Amygdala Anakoluth Zekazy Fizzy & E-Mantra & it leaves me really wanting to check out the recent prospect album. At $10 how could any psy or goa fan pass this up? Anyone pissed off with the state of psychedelic trance today should give this listen before they complain any more. Get of your high horse that whispers to you that everything is shit & actually give something post 2000 a proper listen. If you start here you might just have faith again. If you properly listen to this & really don't like it, then don't bother to recommend me and psy trance again!!! Buy it here!

Thankfully have the FR release but I'm curious about the unreleased or new stuff! They should look into releasing that before re-releasing music people already have!
