  1. very nice Fell in love with their album hypersona and bought their back catalogue. It's all good but Hypersona was the best so it felt like a let down. I've now put them away for a while to "discover" later
  2. 8th Flight - Gravitation
  3. Principles of Flight - Night time lullabies
  4. I like my father's view on atheist vs religious morality. That a moral atheist is more likely to be a truly moral person because he is not being moral just for some heavenly reward or fear of punishment but because that is what he thinks is right. edit: he's catholic
  5. I have someone complaining that I am harassing him at work. I had one meeting with him, which I arranged (harassment) to tell him not to create such a hostile working environment for everyone else (harassment), to tell him that he's expected to teach students and not just talk about his orchids (harassment) and that he can no longer be at the training branch as he destroys new recruits confidence so he'll transfer somewhere closer to his house (harassment). I hope this one doesn't go to court, I don't know what I'd do to fight the allegations that me asking him to fulfil his contractual obligations is harassment...
  6. Anything on Gi'iwa records http://www.discogs.com/label/27805-Giiwa-Productions
  7. Being extremely frustrated and just counting down the days until the new year break. If I could describe work in one word it would be fucktardedness!
  8. Total Eclipse - A little bit of heaven
  9. Ah, I remember when I had all that time to write in depth reviews. I'd love to have the time again and get back in the game.
  10. So basically it's all of them! Buy them now!? I realise that I still have money on a currency card from when I went to England, hopefully I have enough for 6
  11. 7/10 Hard, squelchy acidic brain grating trance
  12. Been listening online, so hard to choose. Must resist the temptation to get them all and give no presents this year... Which is the best D5 do you think?
  13. Artifakt 303 is basically where I left off so this is perfect. If you could recommend any 3, which would you recommend? I want the latest Filteria plus 2 more (or five).
  14. Yeah, I used to have a spam hat it enabled me to post almost constantly Hi
  15. Infected Mushroom - I'm the supervisor
  16. Hi I'm Abasio, I've been away for a year or so. Real life caught up with me unfortunately. I'm back now and hope to stay
  17. You don't need violence of suspense. A well crafted story will make you care about the characters so that you care what happens to them, then any time there is uncertainty in the story it creates suspense. It's the art of storytelling. Most people prefer a story with drama to just a dry telling of hat the life is like or how the machinery works.
  18. Go catholics! The types I mentioned are fairly rare, most atheists I've met have been rational open minded and sane. There is type of person though that needs to believe hole-heartedly in something. They'll generally join a major religion and become a fundie, there are some though that are not exposed to religious groups but to atheists, they listen to their atheist peers an then latch on to what was said and dial it upnto eleven. I don't believe in gods becomes there ARE no gods, how can you believe in something so chilish you moron. They grasp on to science like it's a religion, understanding only headlines but somehow believing 100% the idea they think they understand. Some people just need to believe in something, or the absence of something and it's not just religious zealots If I could guarantee in the future that you'd be the most hardcore anything I'd meet I'd be happy. Unfortunately I've met far too many hardcore believers and none believers to last me a lifetime. If there was an alien species advanced enough to have created our world or our universe, wouldn't they actually be creator gods?
  19. While it may have nothing to do with atheism, it's not true that no atheists actually believe this. You can't make blanket statements like no atheists believes this because you've not met every atheist. I have met atheists that did believe this therefore I can say some atheists do believe it. It's a statement like that which is made by the hardcore atheists I've met that I would liken to fundamentalist religious types. Most atheists I have met have not been level 5: 100% sure that no deities exist, because people understand that there are limits to our knowledge and understanding and there is always the possibility, even if we don't fully believe it, that there is more to reality that we have in front of us which means there could be, even if it's a remote possibility, a deity or deity level entity. Some however have the strong belief that no entities like that can possibly exist, they don't believe it, they know it like strong religious believers know that there is a god. You're lucky if you've never met them because they give others a bad name, just like the hardcore religious nut jobs who give normal, rational religious people a bad name.
  20. I like a bit of drama but I find most movies have absolutely none at all. It seems most Hollywood movies, there is no question as to whether the protagonist will win the day, and this makes the story fairly boring for me. I'd like movies to have an equal chance of having a happy or unhappy ending. Then I might feel a bit of suspense instead of sitting there knowing that he'll get out of this precarious situation or knowing that the couple will get back together.
  21. Haha, you caught me. However if I was sending a CV to a company I'd make sure I checked it first And yes, the people I rejected for slagging off their ( ) former employers got really angry when I asked about any previous conflict they'd had. One started shaking and didn't calm down until after the interview.
  22. Some wonderful stuff here, I'll have a busy few days trying to listen to everything
  23. This What really like is that it's not catchy, it doesn't get stuck in my head so it always sounds fresh when I listen to it.
  24. Vibrasphere - Selected Downbeats
