  1. My mum let me know yesterday that a package from the UK arrived (I let it ship to their address back then as I wasn't sure where I was going to live this year). So my CD has arrived I reckon :)

     

    What I find a bit strange is the following: I pledged for a handwritten lyrics sheet. In the description they wrote that they would contact me before, so that they could write down the lyrics of my favourite tune. Now I don't know if they just wrote down the lyrics of a random song or if they didn't send it off together with the CD. I'll know more on Monday, as I'm going to collect the package then.

  2. 1. Mass production is when you produce more than one UNIQUE piece. If i was a UNIQUE creation they could probably sell it for alot of money. But when 70 people can buy the same tiny mask I still think it's a high price. But of course each to his own ;)

    2. I of course converted from Pound Sterling to Euro as Euro of course is the currency to use in an international forum (Yesterday Pound Sterling to Euro was 485). So I don't get you comment regarding the Pound Sterling :)

     

    1. Tatsu gave a good reply on that; just what I had in mind. I'm a very dedicated nitpicker as well ;)

    2. I misread the amount of Euros you quoted, therefore I thought you just changed the currency without converting. Nevermind, then.

    3. Still haven't got enough money for the mask :(

  3. Euro 485 for such a small mask (30cm wide x 24cm high x 4cm deep) which is even mass produced (70 copies)? phefffffffffff it's all about the money at Twisted Headquarter these days.

     

    I guess it you are a die hard fan you'll buy a lock of Simon's hair too ;)

     

    70 pieces are by no means enough to call it a mass production. The term "mass production" comes with certain conditions that this product does not fulfil. The item we have here is hand moulded and hand painted... Admit that that's not your usual mass production?

     

    Other than that, I'm with Sideeffect here. The price of art - same as its beauty - lies in the eye of the beholder. I'd definetely buy one if I had the money without the bat of an eyelid.

     

    By the way dude, the price is not in Euros, it's in British Pound Sterling (490 Euros) :P

     

    Regarding a lock of Simon's hair: Was that an offer? :D

  4. You can send donations to my paypal account!

    PM me for the account name ;)

     

    We could buy one together. Every three months the mask will be relocated. I'm sure you'll be alright when I'll keep it first!

  5. Hehe, gotta love 2nd hand shops :) Funny to see what stuff some people give away, being unaware of the value of it. Once I found a couple of Matsuri releases at a flea market for a couple of Swiss Francs. Twas a good day.

     

    There are still a couple of festivals in the mountains; dunno, maybe 5 each summer. They're nothing for me though, so I can't help you with the good or not part of the question ;) I reckon they're all announced on GoaBase, if you want to check them.

  6. That's fun :)

    Humm, it's more like 2000-2004 poll for me :) I just realised I only own very few post-2004 releases.

  7. Protest The Hero

     

    A Canadian band, finest Mathcore ever, very progressive'ish as well, and their attitude and appearance is far away from all the Metal stereotypes. They're releasing their third album this month, entitled "Scurrillous". Its predecessors are entitled "Kezia" and "Fortress" respectively. Check them out. They're all good.

  8. I agree with Elysium. What is wrong with people liking the more popular stuff than the hardcore-underground-5-people-know-it-Goa stuff?

     

    Favourites of 2010:

     

    Astral Projection - The Blissdom EP

    Astral Projection - Open Society - The EP

    Astrix - Acid Rocker EP

    Atomic Pulse - Multiverse (yes, I know it's from 2008 but only discovered is this year)

    Atomic Pulse - The Safi Collection

    Artha - Fluory Dolby EP

    Artha - Influencing Dreams

    Cybernetika - The Scythe Of Orion

     

    Rest goes to lots of single tracks from Ektoplazm/etc. releases, like the fantastic Faradize remix of Infected Mushroom - Dancing With Kadafi and a lot more.

     

    You're fond of the letter A, aren't you? :D

  9. whenever i think about the word EPIC the only track that comes to mind is

     

    Cosmosis - Howling At The Moon

     

    that tracks builds up forever and ever till the end.

     

    which tracks do you feel like do the same?

    that's just to gather some similar tracks in one topic.

    suggestions welcome :)

     

    One of the best tunes indeed.

     

    Other than that, I have always thought that Domestic Mushroom - Scotch is one of the most epic Psytrance tunes to date. The way the melody comes up...gets me everytime.

  10. While they have nothing in common musically, I'd say the Red Sparowes took song-naming influence from Botch (but then got crazy with it). See the tracklist for "We Are the Romans":

     

    To Our Friends In The Great White North

    Mondrian Was A Liar

    Transitions From Persona To Object

    Swimming The Channel Vs. Driving The Chunnel

    C. Thomas Howell As The "Soul Man"

    Saint Matthew Returns To The Womb

    Frequency Ass Bandit

    I Wanna Be A Sex Symbol On My Own Terms

    Man The Ramparts

     

    For that matter, the name of the band "Red Sparowes" is obviously a play on "Black Crowes", and the Red Sparowes' music is obviously heavily influenced by Isis. All in all, they're not the most original band.

     

    I guess I like Chi A.D. - "The Ocean Also Dreams"

     

    I don't see any connection between the titles of Botch and Red Sparowes other than being weird. Every Post-Rock band uses weird titles, so nothing special here. But Red Sparowes sure got the longest ;)

     

    I don't know what makes you compare Red Sparowes to Isis (other that some members played in both bands), but that's so obviously wrong on many levels. Every Post-Rock band is influenced by exactly one band, and that is Godspeed You Black Emperor. And so is Isis.

     

    Post-Rock as a whole is not a very original genre, just like Psytrance. This as a sidenote.

  11. There are some great titles in Psytrance indeed, but nothing beats Red Sparowes. Here's two nice examples (and yes, those are track titles):

     

    "Finally, As That Blazing Sun Shone Down Upon Us, Did We Know That True Enemy Was the Voice of Blind Idolatry; and Only Then Did We Begin to Think for Ourselves."

     

    "Like the Howling Glory of the Darkest Winds, This Voice Was Thunderous and the Words Holy, Tangling Their Way Around Our Hearts and Clutching Our Innocent Awe. "
