  1. You keep mentioning being good with computers as one of your strengths when you're looking for jobs. Don't you think this would ring more true if you were willing to learn how to use a command prompt? Anyway, I recently installed Linux Mint and can recommend it for Unix noobs - it was mostly very easy to install and get things working. However, I did have to ask my flatmate a couple of questions. If you want to try Linux (and it probably won't do your employment prospects any harm if you do) then Mint is the way to go, but make sure you have either a friend who knows his stuff or another computer with access to the support forum at the ready.
  2. Your scaly white lines are kind of cool. What's the deal with those?
  3. I'd just call it psytrance. It belongs to that subgenre that's popular in the UK and that usually has a characteristic b_bb bassline rhythm, and as far as I know that kind of music doesn't have a more specific name than "psytrance" (though that term is also used to refer to psychedelic trance music more generally, including Goa, fullon, darkpsy, progressive psytrance etc.). If you want similar music then check out Nano records; I think there are several tracks in the mix that are taken from this album.
  4. Wow, I really suck at this. Someone please do a darkpsy one so that at least everyone else here will suck as much as I do.
  5. 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:
  6. 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.
  7. Ditto Ditto
  8. 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).
  9. Only if you donated $30 or more, I think.
  10. I'm listening now, it's good. I particularly like the track that's playing 20 mins in.
  11. What makes you think that FP was telling the truth?
  12. I got an email about it on Friday. Sounds like there will be some wider announcements soon.
  13. This is a good fullon track by Talamasca IMO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhArDSA5p-w
  14. ^ That track is giving me the weirdest related videos.
  15. No, my flatmate does. He drew my attention to that thread.
  16. I thought everyone knew what a 909 was.
  17. Boy, was I ever way off.
  18. Cool, let me know what you think when you have them.
  19. I got it from here.
  20. Tough choice between the singing and the artwork. Both dreadful.
  21. 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?
  22. 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.
