The problem is not just your spelling, though. Your writing is full of run-on sentences, missing punctuation, incorrect prepositions, and unidiomatic phrasings that make you sound like a non-native speaker. Let's look at some of the things that are wrong with the first two paragraphs of your OP, for example:
-
The word is "writing", Radi. Let me be brutally honest: if you want a job that involves writing English, you need to get much better at it than you are now.
-
Ditto Ditto

No, except for the fact that he's posting from a Korean IP, and that a video exists of the guy in Nhjo's avatar DJing Goa trance. But neither of those rule out Pavel (who works or worked for a Korean tech company IIRC, so may have cause to periodically go there).

Only if you donated $30 or more, I think.

What music are you listening to right now?
Rotwang replied to Sputum Rotgut's topic in General Psytrance
I'm listening now, it's good. I particularly like the track that's playing 20 mins in. -
What makes you think that FP was telling the truth?
-
I got an email about it on Friday. Sounds like there will be some wider announcements soon.

This is a good fullon track by Talamasca IMO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhArDSA5p-w

A Completely Different Music Recommendation Thread
Rotwang replied to Padmapani's topic in General Psytrance
^ That track is giving me the weirdest related videos. -
No, my flatmate does. He drew my attention to that thread.

I thought everyone knew what a 909 was.
-
Boy, was I ever way off.
-
Yep.
-
Cool, let me know what you think when you have them.
-
I got it from here.
-
Tough choice between the singing and the artwork. Both dreadful.
-
If that happens again you don't need to make a new profile - you can just email an admin (my email address is visible in my profile, for example) and ask him to reset your password. Would you like me to merge your new account with some of your old ones?

Yes. But despite this he is not as famous as Kindzadza, who is not as famous as Infected Mushroom, who are not as famous as Skrillex, who is not as famous as Justin Bieber. He is the only one of the above-mentioned artists whose Wikipedia page says "The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for biographies.". If he wanted to get more hits, he obviously wouldn't be making new-school Goa trance. Obviously, because when his debut came out new-school Goa was almost non-existent, many artists were heavily influenced by 1200mics or IM or Parasense or LB, and very few artists were heavily influenced by E/P. Writing press releases that mention an artist's distinguishing characteristics was a perfectly sensible way of drawing the attention of listeners who wanted to hear something that sounded more like old-school Goa than other contempary psytrance, which Filteria clearly did. This is really bizarre, coming from the man who's continually going on about how his compositions sound like genuine old-school Goa. When did Filteria or Suntrip ever claim that he sounds exactly like Pleiadians? I've never seen such a thing. I have seen this, though: You know Radi, people really try to be polite about the amateurish tracks you post here. It's times like this that I wonder why they bother.

INFECTED MUSHROOM (LIVE) at Governors Island 8/4/2013
Rotwang replied to euphoria's topic in Party Announcement
Done. -
Regarding the merging, I tend to agree. Those fora came about after the old off-topic closed, but mars wanted people to still be able to discuss some non-psytrance topics without the chaos of the old OT. Now that the new OT exists I don't see why those other subfora are still necessary. It's not up to me, but I'll run your suggestion past the rest of the mod team.

I go alone to the pool in the health club I use all the time. I don't see why anyone would have a problem with it.

What "consumerist kiddies" are listening to new-school Goa trance? What new-school Goa fans don't also listen to oldschool? Why do people pretend that any music they don't like must therefore only be liked by "consumerist kiddies"?
-
No, that doesn't follow. What follows is that there would not have been music made with computers back in the 90's that required a lot of computationally intensive processing (e.g. reverb, convolution, Fourier synthesis - the sort of things I expect are involved in recreating the sounds of analogue synths) on a large number of different layers. That wouldn't rule out people making something like house or DnB on a 90's computer, but it would make it harder for people to make something that involved a large number of different layers that recreated the sounds of analogue synths - like, say, Goa trance. Are you aware of any old-school artists who made Goa trance using only software in the 90's? I'm not claiming there weren't any; as I said, I have no experience with music software that I didn't write and my guesses could be completely wrong, and I will happily concede as much if someone who knows what they're talking about (with all due respect, that does not include Radi) tells me so.
