the final part is absolutely beautiful, the melody and synth patch squeezing and buzzing in this euphoric rise.
some of the earlier parts are a bit lame though, screams General MIDI
-
^ T H A N K Y O U !!!!

+ 1 for Fractal Glider, especially Parasite. excellent stuff
I find Terrafractyl to be interesting in small amounts, but i get pretty bored whenever he plays. something a bit too jazzy about the compositions
i saw Bamboo Forest in 2004 and they were incredible. I listened to a lot of their compilation tracks afterwards and never felt the same magic.
-
great list, thanks Padmapani!
-
dude, your mixes are always wonderful. such varied subgenres of psy and you nail each one. respect
-
very interesting to read, thanks for being so open about the challenges facing labels today. this is valuable information. I have supported Suntrip before, and look forward to doing so again. It is clearly a labor of love and we all thank you for that
-
hey Profane, have you added some voice samples to the mix? it has that trademark Profane vibe with scientific voices, maybe from the movie Pi like you did with A to Z mix?
-
^ i didn't realise it was all that simple, thanks for clearing it up!
-
really solid mix, most songs are new to me...is great to catch up on Iboga's output in such a good set. thanks!
-
just re-read the thread and I think Purple Sunray makes a very good point...Germany embraced electronic music sooner and more widely than most other countries, and perhaps the people's ears became more familiar with the sounds
It think it's because the whole electro-sounds have a long tradition in germany.
-
i think this stereotype of Germans being "strict" and "orderly" is given a bit more emphasis than it deserves. nonetheless, there is definitely something responsible for this 'german' sound which we find in trance and techno. could it be more a work ethic, a fondness for well-made sounds that operate together in a cohesive system? i'd like to tie this to the (also stereotypical) german reputation for precision engineering, but i fear this is more clutching at old, dated cliches to explain something i don't understand
Berlin is a major city for electronic music, but this has more to do with the large empty spaces available after unification, the relaxed atmosphere and liberal outlook of the city's people (which goes against this stereotype of strict and orderly germans). in my experience, the psy scene in Berlin is really not so large (techno and tech-house dominate the landscape here).

haha, well you can understand my confusion! thanks for the correction
loving the mix, played it last 3 days at work...keeps me calm but also gives me energy. BOM!
-
this is fucking gorgeous. that Aril brikha song is really interesting, the title seems to be a nod to Nitzhonot?
-
there's some fantastic mixes on your Soundcloud, thanks for sharing and keep up the good work. love this quirky shit

seems after the first album Doof was aiming for slower and more ambient vibes. It's About Time was great but much less dancefloor oriented, and these days he seems to be making singer-songwriter acoustic guitar music.
I never heard much of his Vatos Locos project, so can't comment on that.
my favourite work is when Doof and Posford were collaborating: Angelic Particles and Let's Turn On (the song) are some of my favourite tunes
some of the debut album is a tad cheesy by today's standards, but i will always enjoy listening to it through.
-
Zenon is not psy, and hardly trance.
??? what is it then?
-
i saw him at Ozora 2 years ago, it was incredible. he played after Posford/Raja and just built that energy higher and higher. plus, visually he is a nutter. definitely a dance legend
does he still produce music, under a different name? or just performs these vintage sets?
-
It definitely does... Australia's descent into some kind of mish mash progressive/diversified psy culture is a huge reason I'm glad I've escaped overseas for now.
I can't really speak to what cultural or environmental factors have caused the change but its a bit about the younger guys making the music and how they were bought up... Australia's NNSW "chunk" scene is an absolute travesty to psychedelic culture... Hopefully things change by the time I go back! Heh..
what is this chunk scene in NNSW?
IMO NNSW has produced some great psy...thinking mainly of the zenon boys though i guess
-
i take it you know less than nothing about music, and music production
i've heard the track and yes it sounds like they're just repeating themselves, but still, such a thing is very hard to do! and they do it flawlessly!
i wouldn't even want to know how much work goes into one sphongle track since i know its not gonna be just a few days or weeks...
and even though i'm more a fan of the classical shpongle sound, this track sounds much like the style they had on nothing lasts... and to me it really delivers!
mate does it matter whether i know anything about music production? the track is rubbish
i am glad you enjoy it though, at least someone is
-
when i think of what Posford could be doing with his time and expertise, and then listen to what he is doing with, i become sad
pretty sure at this point that "Shpongle" is a VST fed with ethno-samples, and that we've heard every element of that new track used before in an existing Shpongle track

hey buddy, check this thread

in an interesting loop of web echoes, i found this page recently as i googled for the Eat Static song. I started this thread from an old account back in 05 desperate to hear the song again
well, that google search which led me back here also revealed the proverbial needle i've been looking so long for:
not perfect quality, but enough for me to relive the joy of hearing this the first time almost a decade ago
-
nice, think I'll head here after the OTT launch
-
anyone catching the album launch this Saturday (5th) in Camden?
should be fun!
