Shostakovich's first violin concerto is pretty psychedelic IMO. I'd skip the first movement though, it's depressing. e: a couple of movements: II IV e2: there's also .

Nice work, trav.

I don't think you realised how literally I was speaking when I wrote about "feeling" the music - Vibratoire consists mainly of a slow pulse which is almost too low to hear, but which shakes the whole room.

I prefer speakers, since they can give me the feeling that the sound is filling the room, rather than just filling my ears, and this also enables me to "interact" more with the music. Though my opinion is probably skewed since I don't recall ever having used a decent pair of headphones, whereas my parents have some pretty sweet speakers. But there are some pieces of music that need to be played through one or the other. For example, Biosphere's Vibratoire is designed to be felt rather than heard, and is therefore utterly pointless through headphones. On the other hand, Autechre's Tewe contains noises which are pretty much indiscernible through speakers.

Can anybody tell me anything at all about Bent Sentient?

I really like the typeface on this one: This is lovely too:

Deadline coming soon. I'm going to have to revise my order in light of the Overdream album. Need to have a think.

Biosphere - Autour de la Lune is the most soporific album I know.

Egad. I was thinking of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Goldie - Mother (60:19) The first and last 20 minutes are dull, but the bit in the middle is just fantastic.

Allow me to take this opportunity to say "Hello, Daybrain!" before you get banned again.

With a name like "NPD sound crew" it's no wonder they felt the need to stick a photo of themselves on the cover.

+1 Also, I've only had it for a week, but I reckon you should give Overdream - Wonderwise a try. Tracks mostly start out sounding like darkpsy, but then later they have a lot of really nice melodic bits too. There's nothing really groundbreaking but they have too wide a range of influences to fit into any particular sub-genre IMO.

Kindzadza - Waves from Inner Space

I don't know the CDs you mention, but I recently got Scientist's album Scientist rids the world of the curse of the evil vampires, and it's pretty good (I became aware of his work through the radio station on GTA3). A couple of tracks: Your teeth in my neck The corpse rises

Of the Posford albums I actually know... 1: Are you Shpongled? 2: Tales of the Inexpressible 3: The Lone Deranger 4: Nothing Lasts... but Nothing is Lost 5: Twisted

I take it you like it then. That's good.

It may just be the effects of mild intoxication, but I've just given this a first listen and I'm really surprised by how good it is.

What do you think of this, by the way?

I stand corrected. I guess CDs here aren't as expensive as they used to be (it's been ages since I bought one from a British shop anyway).

You should stick on some of the stuff Orbital did with Alison Goldfrapp, e.g. . Or this, featuring the voice of Kirsty Hawkshaw.

I doubt the pound is weak enough to compensate for how much more expensive CDs are here than everywhere else.

I apologise. I was merely attempting to point out that psyshop's chart should be considered a self-fulfilling prophecy as much as a genuine indicator of popularity.
