  1. Well the message pretty much describes itself right there.

     

    You said you tried to download one album all day long. It clearly says on the site that if you try to download a file for too many times or if you waste alot of bandwidth by downloading all day long then you get a temporary ban.

    Basilisk has to put some protection on the download limit at least a little bit, I mean he's website is hosting free downloads and that takes alot of bandwidth and costs alot of money.

     

    Just take a look, 3,539 downloads just for that single album. In best case scenario (that is - if everyone downloaded the MP3 version) that's about 541 Gigs of bandwidth! And some people download FLAC's or WAV's, which dramatically increase the ammount of bandwidth transferred.

     

    Just wait a day and you can download again.

  2. Good is good. Bad, if hilarious enough is also good.

     

    You don't find it incredibly funny? It has everything!

     

    For what it's worth the Psychedelic Chronicles one is just plain rubbish. It isn't even funny, it is just pathetic.

    Yeah, I know. But when everyone starts following the same formula it gets boring. Just like telling old jokes gets boring
  3. That's like, what was first: the chicken or the egg?

     

    So who was the person that has put melancholic sounds on certain movies and pictures? I think conditioning is part of it, but I don't think it can explain all... Like you said, thé test would be: find a person that never heard music in it's life and ask him... But does that kind of people exist?

    Hmm.. well, even people who never had touch with modern civilization probably have some kind of musical ritual. I mean, music has been around for ages.. who knows, maybe for millions of years allready. But we didn't have technology to record any of it back then. Which is kind of interesting, I'd love to hear the music from thousands of years ago.
  4. I guess it's just conditioning. For so many years we have heard sad songs with melodies played down and sad sad lyrics. We've heard happy upbeat songs and we're told they are happy. I wonder if you found someone who had never had any contact with music before (or civilisation for that matter) and played him a melancholic track, would he have the same feelings to it? Or would his feelings be ones of awe and blissful amazemnet at this new discovery?

     

    It's like the weather, we are conditioned to believe that sunny and hot = a nice day and that overcast or rain = a bad day. This can also really affect people's moods. It's odd don't you think?

    I think that only works with kids and for a short while. To be honest, when I hear some of the new upbeat happy psytrance that comes out, it makes me wanna cry (cos it sux so much!). So there's your example right there. :lol:
  5. Anything can sound good in proper hands, but it's horrible when artists add guitars to their tracks just because guitars in psytrance are "popular".

     

    Oh wait, this is psy trance where the only real instruments allowed are didgeridoos, or one of a hand full of "ethnic" percussion instruments. Sorry, nothing to see here folks, move along, move along...

    No no. Didgeridoos and other instruments can sound just as bad as guitars can in the hands of anti-talents. Just like useless over-exagerations with flutes. If someone's gonna record something with a flute, well at least they could make some decent melody with it not just slap a few random long notes in there.

  6. That's funny, 2 days ago I found a few collection of trance toplists on youtube. And they're all organized by the "feeling" you get from these tracks. For example:

     

    Top 5 Day Dreaming Trance Songs

    Top 5 Easy-Going Trance Songs

    Top 5 Inspiring Trance Songs

    Top 5 Just Plain Wonderful Trance Songs

    Top 5 Catchy Trance Songs

    Top 5 Calming Trance Songs

    Top 5 Uplifting Trance Songs

    Top 5 Impressive Trance Songs

    Top 5 Spine-Chilling Trance Songs

     

    In most cases the description is pretty accurate. I don't really know why one track gives out one type of emotion while another gives out a totally different type of emotion. I'm intrigued with it aswell. But I can't really explain it or define why it works that way. It's interesting how some melodies give you a 'move on', some make you smile, some make you sad and some make you just want to dance.

     

    In fact, what I'm missing in most of nowadays music is exactly that, the emotion part of it. It seems like artists are focused too much on the technical side of things instead.

  7. You don't know these???:

     

    Kerosene klub

    Mubali

    Gappeq

    Derango

    Cosmo

    Silent Horror

    Highko

    Hutti Heita

    Irgum Burgum

    Megalopsy

     

    I guess you ain't a Darkpsy lover then ;)

     

    But yeah, aweful cover, looks like something that have been put together in paint in 5 minutes :lol:

    Well actually, from that list I'm only really familiar with Cosmo. I've heard of Derango and Megalopsy before, but the rest are unknowns to me.

     

    I like any genre as long as the artist pushes the limit or has something original. Just because there are "dark" samples in there doesn't mean shizzle to me really. But good music is good music in whatever form it may be in.

  8. Trance is music that is entrancing, from super fast dancefloor trance to chilled horizontal trance. I agree with extended being there ;)

    Sure, but imo ambient music has it's own roots really. Still that picture to me seems to be more of a "my personal favourite music" then some kind of tree list of genres.
