I'd love to see the results of a double blind listening test between wav, FLAC.
There's definitely something wrong if you can hear a difference between 2 lossless formats. The audio data in a FLAC is bitwise 100% identical to the WAV it was encoded from.

18 years old me would probably have disliked Cryptic Crunch back in 1999. 37 years old me thinks it's a fantastic album. RIP dude, I remember I had a briefly strange encounter with him on some Finnish festival some years ago...

Yeah, Hux Flux doesn't get much better than this (and yes, I prefer this over the original version).
Or this:Illuminus is nice too, btw

If their upcoming material is anything like this, I'll be at least a bit interested

I saw the words "Cybered" and "techtrance" and thought to myself, "oh nice, this should be good".
Well, it wasn't, especially with a lineup like that. More like mind numbingly boring, and what's this silly attempt at creating yet another psy micro genre? "Psydeeptrance", yeah, that sounds just fantastic doesn't it? -

I heard him in play in Belgium 2 weeks and I have to be honest. This was the most shitty set from a classic artist I heard in my life. Vini Vici kicks and sounds and guitars on top of it. I went to sleep in my car...
Yeah, I've seen the full live 4 or 5 times since Ozora 2009, and it's been getting progressively worse every time, with Boom 2014 being not much more than a joke; you could clearly see that the musicians on stage had no fucking idea what the others were doing and over all the whole gig just sounded like shit. I remember Ben Watkins stating somewhere that he "doesn't believe in rehearsing". Well that was more than apparent there.
I'll stick to listening to the albums instead. -

my example for porn samples done right would be atmos - klein aber doctor
They're not exactly obvious (I didn't even know that).

Inappropriate melodies? Maybe not, but sleazy lyrics and porn samples? Not my cup of tea.
If you're going to use porn samples at least do it well, like this:

I don't listen to much techno but the Digital Family compilations have always been nice

Are we counting re-issues (asking so I can adjust my own list)?
Fluorotronik isn't really a "reissue" as it wasn't actually released until last year.

Planet B.E.N. - Trippy Future Garden
X-Dream - Radio (German artist / UK label)
Morphem - Out Of Focus
Xenomorph - Cassandra's Nightmare (German artist / UK label)

S.U.N. Project - Macrophage
Montauk P - Def=Lim (German artist / UK label)
Noosphere - Radiated (German artist / UK label)
Children Of Paradise - Urban Alien
Of course there's more to the type of sound I at least think you're after, if you want to stray outside of Germany

The wonderful people at Kosmos Festival had a party for their 2017 artists and staff last weekend. I played some rather intense goa trance at midnight
Tracklist:
Triquetra - Renkinjutsu
Omnivox - Gift Of Unsanity
Filteria - Chaotic-Om (Morphic Resonance Remix)
Pleiadians - Modulation
X-Dream - Freak
Hypnoxock - Mental Ascension
GoaTree - No Time To Waste
Proxeeus - Down The Six Thousand Steps (Unreleased Demo Version) -
Yeah. I've seen far worse covers than that (no, it's not bad at all, a bit generic however). I like the colours and somehow it looks like it could have been released on Spirit Zone 15 years ago or so

Oh sorry just a mistake. "Trance Goa" is the french way to say "Goa Trance". It's corrected. You can redownload the PDF.
I had a feeling this is the case

Is "Trance Goa" supposed to be 2 different styles, as in "Trance" and "Goa", or "Goa Trance" as one style?

Let's see, games played in the past ~year, after The Witcher trilogy... (with short comments).
Rise of the Tomb Raider (20 year celebration edition) - fun, if you don't compare it to the original quintet.
Limbo + Inside - disturbing, unnerving, occasionally irritatingly frustrating (both of them).
Mad Max - one of the best optimized games I've played, and was good enough to satisfy my occasional craving for simple asskicking. Of course I did spend almost too much of my game time just driving around the landscape
The Witness - did a rather good job of filling the hole left by The Talos Principle, even if the approach is quite different.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning - was good fun, although the game world felt quite empty. The combat system is an absolute delight and for the first time maybe ever I actually enjoyed melee over ranged combat. With a sprinkle of magic.
Minerva's Den - the only part of the BioShock series I hadn't played yet. Made me remember again that I don't really enjoy FPS games that much.
Styx: Shards of Darkness - stealth games are usually my favourites, but this felt rather unfinished and rushed. I did enjoy the first game more than this one.
Postal Redux - because sometimes you just need to switch off you brain and cause massive bloodbaths (in a game) :DD
Submerged - because sometimes you need a game where basically nothing happens. Fortunately I didn't pay more than 2€ for this one.
INFRA - this was an oddly satisfying puzzle game that I need to replay one of these days (I missed some things in th beginning). The Source engine is a bit meh for this approach, but hey, at least it was made by a Finnish game company
The Turing Test - another puzzle game to satisfy this particular craving of mine. Runs on Unreal Engine 4 (and damn I wish INFRA would too). A bit too short, unfortunately.
Archaica: The Path of Light - yet another puzzle game, but a completely different approach from the 2 previous ones. Enjoyed it, although it kinda just ended all of a sudden. Some really tricky puzzles in here.
Enderal - a Skyrim total conversion mod that turns it into a completely different game. On many accounts even better than Skyrim. The only huge downside was the downright painful ending; without spoiling too much, the amount of quasi-philosophical bullshit at the end is absolutely mindboggling. Still, I managed to finish it twice this year.So...that was quite a list, and somehow I also managed to squeeze in quite a lot of gigs and some other music stuff during the year.
Oh, and there's the Steam winter sale going on now. The new Life Is Strange is tempting me...

For some reason or other, this year Finnish party organizations had surprisingly many 5th and 10th anniversaries. This party was the last one of them, and happened on 1.12.2017 in Espoo, Finland.
I played the finishing set of the party, and had loads of fun on stage (a comment from a friend of mine was "dude, you were absolutely on fire!")
Tracklist:
Ephedra - Neuro Stretch
Celestial Intelligence - Distorted Visions
Proxeeus - Nyarlathotep (Short Mix)
Eat Static - Bony Incus (Man With No Name Remix)
Hypnoxock - You Have To Find A Brain
Morphic Resonance - Varese Dream
X-Dream - Panic In Paradise
Infernal Machine - The Loin Sleeps Tonightnot online anymore, keeping the post here in any case

That's the first Backroom Beats compilation, TWSCD12.
I didn't know there's a jewel case version too, I have the Digipak.
Well oops :DD it really looks like a jewel case in that picture.
But yeah, figures why I got confused since I have all Backroom Beats releases (including the 1st comp) separate from my Twisted releases.
I actually found a good prog remix of a goa classic
in General Psytrance

Not bad if you ask me. Keeps enough of the elements and atmosphere of the original, and doesn't turn into a cheesefest at any point :)
