I like, I pledged.
YB opening for Moby would be awesome. Moby is one of the greatest musicians there is in my book.

I'll probably speak only for myself, but as this is one of my favourite songs of all time, I'd like to hear a proper psytrance remix of
http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=glhZI86Ed2s&fmt=18
I just love it. Back in those days I made myself a 90 minutes tape with just this song on it, so I that I could listen to it on my car's stereo, while cruising through the whole area. On sunny days I would open my car's roof and...just have a good time.
By the way, I think that some other RMB songs deserve a remix as well, especially Reality (!), Redemption, Love Is An Ocean. Maybe some Members Of Mayday songs as well, like Sonic Empire, Save The Robots.
You don't only speak for yourself; I'm so with you here. Spring is one beautiful piece of music. I had that on heavy rotation as well. And I still get goosebumps when listening to this...
Same for the Members of Mayday tunes. Pure 90ies quality.

I dig that
Thanks!

I think I read somewhere that they wanted the music to continue for a 4 hours because if they stopped it immediately and all people found out what
was going on it would create even bigger panic and chaos possibly resulting in more deaths and injuries.
This way the ambulances and response crews were dealing with it for a few hours until the music finally stopped and things
cleared at least a little bit.
Yes, definetely. Stopping the music and communicating the happenings would have resulted in even bigger mass hysteria, that's what I believe at least.
What happened there is very, very sad indeed. This has worried me deeply, I couldn't get hardly any sleep on Sunday night. I'm so sorry for everyone who has lost someone there and for the injured.
After all the discussions so far I think the tragedy is the result of a careless event organizer and greedy municipality. The fact that Duisburg is this year's European Capital of Culture actually explains a lot why the city clinged to this event. And that guy owning the Love Parade as a division of his own fitness center chain...well, no need to say anything else.
On a sidenote I, too, find this video a bit disrespectful. If I ever die or loose someone under such circumstances, I wouldn't want anyone to make a video with pictures of the event accompanied by uber-sentimental pop music.

No music. Bodies making sounds of love is the most beautiful music: Tender moaning, wordless whispering, the silently rippling sound that skin makes on skin, lips parting after a kiss. I wouldn't want to drown that out with music.

I think one of the reason is that Psytrance was never really made for DJing. Take Techno or Drum and Bass, where you can still play around with the tunes, overlap them, mix with more than two players etc. That's pretty much impossible with Psytrance where each track is a finished piece of art (well, in the ideal case, you know what I mean).
Another reason could be that in Psytrance there are almost no mixed CDs released. I was discussing this with a friend of mine, and he said that when he would make some small Techno gathering with 20-50 people, they would just play a few mixed CDs. In Psytrance, we organise DJs and Live Acts even for such small parties
And obviously it's easier to earn basic mixing skills on CDJs than turntables.Don't know if that's any reasonable, it's just a thought.

I think the one you have is this one: http://www.discogs.com/Shpongle-Are-You-Shpongled/release/35888
From what I gather, the first 1000 copies of the "regular" vinyl were numbered with that label and subsequent represses were not.
That "clear vinyl" LP is a separate special edition of 350.
There's a copy for sale there where seller is saying it has no. 1077 on it
Thanks, both of you.
Goa-Head: Nice observation. Moreover, the sleeve shown in the pictures linked to by visine shows no. 609...
Maybe they really just randomly numbered 350 respectively 1000 exemplaries. In any case, I'm happy to own this grand release on vinyl!
-
Vinyl is the sexiest music medium ever. I still buy vinyl whenever I can, not only old, but also new stuff. One thing that I've observed is that lots of more alternative bands offer their recordings on vinyl at their shows. In the Post-Rock scene for instance, vinyl is everywhere, and Tool have got some really amazing limited picture discs as well:
Recently I entered a record store just out of boredom (Switzerlands biggest, actually, and not too fancy at all), and I was pleasantly surprised that they built a new vinyl compartment, offering vinyl versions of lots of contemporary popular music.
Now, one question regarding the "Are You Shpongled" limited edition: It's said that the release was limited to 350 copies, but numbered inconsistently. I've got one as well; the sleeve looks just like the one in the picture, and it is hand-numbered by the same handwriting (mine is no. 654), but what's bugging me a bit now is that mine is plain usual black vinyl, not transparent as in the picture...any idea???
-
I really, really like this. It is at time compltely different than The Last Resort, Trentemoller is showing lots of courage with this record. The singing is very beautiful in my opinion, and never cheesy at all. All in all it's very subtle, emotional and organic sounding electronic music, carefully crafted with attention to the detail. It's not better or worse than The Last Resort...it's something else. And that's what a good second album is for me: Evolutio without loosing the sound of the artist, which still is very present here. Last but not least, the artwork is pretty decent too!

I'm not really a fan of this type of movie anymore as I find the imagery unnecessary these days. You are what you watch to some extent.
But there's a movie that's just been released or soon to be released call "The Human Centipede".
It's about a psychotic guy who joins three hapless victims together surgically arse to mouth. There are sequels planned.
Here's a
on youtube.Enjoy!
Ehm, sorry, but this isn't meant to be a serious work of art, right??? Sounds to me like a caricature, if it weren't for the trailer which makes a serious appearance indeed. It seems to me that this might be the uppermost limit of ridiculousness. I'm sorry if you're really interested in that movie, but I'm not sure whether sorry for having disrespected your taste or sorry for your soul
I read that the director came up with this film after discussing possible punishment for child abusers with some friends. I tell ya, if I made a movie out of every stupid idea that comes into my mind...o Lord, please help us!
-
Well. I'm baffled that this doesn't get more attention. But it's ok, I've always been the ugly kid at school
Anyway, I've just come home with this record in my bag. I'll wait another 3 days til the exams are over to listen to it properly.
-
Well, that's insanely fast indeed. But it doesn't grip me really music-wise.
I prefer slower music, but undissolved stuff (sorry for my French):

Ligeti is one of my favourite composers when it comes to stuff like this. It's just gripping music, you can't listen to this relaxedly, it just keeps you on the edge of your chair. Furthermore, I'm always amused at such concerts because the audience never notices when a piece is finished due to the lack of some nice cadence in the end
-
No, but I really want one.
One of the best albums ever made in the history of mankind.
Same.

Same here guys. A few years back the best CD shop in the canton of Zurich closed its doors. When they sold out their stuff, 3 euros per CD, I scored quite a load of Goa Trance stuff, including rare ones. Nowadays I only know one decent music shop in Zurich...with my taste being rather broad, I'll always find something special whenever I'm going there, but of course it's the same like everywhere: No Psytrance at all apart from the lousy stuff that you can even get at big record chains. They do have quite a tasty offer of IDM though, and lots of obscure rock music vinyls that you can only get on CD at other places.
The best thing, however, is finding something decent at flee markets. In spring and summer I usually stroll around them every Saturday hunting for obscure objects and CDs as well. At one particular flee market, I once found 4 Matsuri releases in one day after scrolling through all the CD cases they had there (took me like an hour). And that's quite awesome. Finding great music at flee markets ranges among my personal Top10 of Awesome Things. There's a lot of good luck involved though, and things like that usually happen only once a lifetime...

Rumour has it that H. R. Giger will be involved indeed.
Still, I'm not going to watch it. The risk of ruining the whole Alien thing is too big for me. If there's one thing I hate more than sequels, it's prequels
Last prequel I watched was the Hannibal thing (prequel to Silence of the Lambs), and yes, it sucked. -
Ruby Throat - Salto Angel
Here's a small outtake, couldn't find a proper video.

‘Into The Great Wide Yonder’ is the second album of Anders Trentemøller and the follow up of the highly succesful ‘The Last Resort’ (2006).
Just like his debut, which struck a chord with new audiences all around the world, ‘Into The Great Wide Yonder’ is a truly remarkable album, offering as much depth and soul as it’s predecessor, yet sounding ultimately fresh and different.
Above all, the ten tracks show an artist that’s willing to take risks, find in- spiration in new places and move beyond the sound of his previous album. Trentemøller: ‘Of course I didn’t want to make the same record twice. So the album is for me a logic development from ’The Last Resort’’. Instead he just started to collect new ideas, without thinking too much about the direction the music would take him: ‘The only thing I knew was that I’d want the music to sound more organic and analog.’

Am I the only one in here who just keeps all his mp3s in one folder and double clicks on them to listen to them?
OMG, I'm so oldschool

Reminds me of newer Juno Reactor, except not as "cinematic."
Last year Juno Reactor toured with the EBM cult-act Laibach. Most cheesy vocals ever (Eins, zwei, drei, vier, komm schon Baby tanz mit mir - One, two, three, four, come on baby dance with me).
One thing I also dislike is the kind of imaginery and symbolics a lot of those bands use. Always makes a lil militaristic impression to me. Some of the music posted here sounds to me like mobilization music for the war of commies agains nazis. But that's just me.
Also I don't know jackshit about all of that. So, sorry for my sweeping blow here

So you like movies that make you feel like slitting your wrists after they're done?
Totally. And books and music like such as well
Although I have to say that I don't think Happiness is such a grim movie. In fact, it's hilarious. The restaurant scene with Philipp Seymour Hoffman and Camryn Manheim, for instance, totally cranks me up each time. Two great actors at their best.
The ending is brilliant. Makes it up to you for all the heaviness!
Oh, and by the way:
After a long effort of moving into my new home the winter before last, that first night I unpacked my computer, opened a bottle of champagne, and, thoroughly exhausted and satisfied, sat down to watch Lost in Translation for the umpteenth time. It was so beautiful.
Did you like, you know, afterwards?
