Probably FLAC's instead. Even if it's a raw copy of the wav, with no compression. It allows tagging and other neat stuff, much better then just having wav's imo.

No it's not just for the psy-scene ( ). It was mentioned on TG Daily a while ago , there was a discussion about it. I've no idea how it allready got in the psy-scene so fast tbh. But what's all this talk about the "same-old-wav" quality? You can't make the music sound better just because you have more space available, changing the format won't make you hear anything new. You can't reproduce anything more then wav has to offer, even if you had 10 million$ speakers. It just doesn't make sense to create a new format that's 'superior' to wav. The spectrum of frequencies you can hear fit in the wav format without a problem. Please do read some articles before you post something in the likes of "10 GB would make the music soooo much better", that's just nonsense talk. Anywho, it does feel kind of lame doesn't it? On the other hand CD's felt lame when vinyl was still around. However I'm not really sure what the point of creating a new music carrier is all about? The music 'industry' doesn't make much sense these days. They started expanding this idea of digital downloads, even made some profit out of it. Now they're doing the opposite, trying to creatie a new carrier. It doesn't make sense, if you wan't to listen to the music you bought (or not) on some device that accepts USB input then you might aswell buy yourself a big storage USB stick, and just put the music you want on there and carry it around with you. I don't see the point of having CompactSticks for every album when you can put all of the albums on a single USB stick that you bought yourself. It will not pick up. Especially in the days of so many iPod users, I mean what are they gonna do - hotwire the compactstick to their ipod? Doesn't make sense at all, you buy a compatstick, you can only plug it in compatible players or your PC. Then you have to copy to your PC, then from the PC to your iPod or to a bigger USB stick.. just nonsense. As for DRM or any of that, you can't stop piracy with any form or format. If you can listen to the music, you can copy the music.

Aw man that's just sad. You never picked up the guitar again? Huh? Maybe you mean the 'feel' of that synth line? Other then that I hear no similarity at all, totally different tracks: &

This year is MINE!

You never cease to amaze me NHJO. This shit is wickeeed. :posford: That melody really has something.. really! Don't others agree here? Really has a potential..

I really dig old AP's work under the SFX name. They call it "Intelligent Techno", and it really is some form of techno isn't it? It kind of mixes up with Goa a bit, but it's got the techno structure in it. I guess "Goa Techno" wasn't an appropriate name.

Don't get your hopes up. According to some internet sources that ninjamp3 site is a resurrection of allofmp3.com, which was another illegal site that was brought down after being sued by Sony BMG. Here's a victim: http://www.songboom.com/node/172 - Like I said, they took his credit card number, charged it and never delivered any music at all.

Don't worry, they are probably digging their own graves by opening a site like this. If they're using free music and selling it, you know that their intentions are more then profit from illegal sales. Imagine what their real intensions are when a person enters their credit card number to buy something. It's quite possible that whoever these people are that opened that site just downloaded a big sum of mp3's from all over the net, then they listed them on their own "e-store", and as soon as someone is tricked into thinking that it's a big e-store (thus it gives them a sense that the store is 'safe') they will take the users credit card number, probably steal a large sum of money and dissapear. I'm sure the site will magically dissapear one day, either because a record label has reported them or they've managed to get their hands on a couple of credit card numbers. Also, who would really buy from a random site like that? Obviously people who don't really care about their money since they don't check the background of that particular site before they actually hop in and start buying stuff. You shouldn't really care about these types of people, it's their own fault that they're wasting money on something that can be found for free. Of course I'm saying that because you're album was released for free, it's a different perspective if they're stealing sales from a record label.

Trance definately. Even tho it got so commercialized there's so many of it still that I love. By that I mean I listen to some stuff that was still released around '03, but not many if any after that time. Right now listening to DJ Trinity - Connected. It might be bad for some people, but for me it's cake for my ears and mind.

Your hunches are wrong! But richard really is an all-rounder imo. Maybe not full-on but..

Aphex Twin

He obviously made alot more money from his live appearances as Shpongle, Younger Brother etc. I mean, even my sister listens to shpongle, even tho almost everything else she listens to I consider a pile of crap (sorry sis!). So if I play her a tracklist of oldskool goa/psy she doesn't like it at all, but shpongle she can take. And then they say how "psychedellic" shpongle is.. . That's world/synthpop music to me.

Ha! Thanx for that.

Take a lucky guess..

What is this site about? Other then a collection of your favourite links?

I was browsing around youtube and found some nice interviews, so I thought why not make a topic with a collection of links to video interviews from various psy or similar oriented musicians. But I'd like to include some ambient acts aswell.. since there's quite a few ambient lovers on this site, right? Oh and, please do try to keep it English. Or at least videos with english subtitles? Here's something for starters: Aphex Twin NL Interview - This is in English after the first 10 seconds. - Not an interview but still funny to watch. Ulrich Schnauss 2005 Interview | Part 2 |

I don't know about DVD's, but check out this video: Lol those guys.. Omg this is getting hillarious "cosmic cosmic cosmic cosmic divine cosmic.."

Less whine and more youtube clippies, cmon!

Hmm.. Oki. Let's see if I can find some vids on youbute, i mean youtube: Astral Projection - Flying Into A Star Man With No Name - Paint A Picture (Featuring Hannah) Man With No Name - Seratonin Sunrise (MVO Mix) - Sadly there is no youtube vid of this track, only the original. Three Drives - Greece 2000 (Man With No Name Remix) Etnica - Tribute - Pwnz the shit out of every other track imo. (I SAID IN MY OPINION! ) There's loads more but I can't be arsed to find youtube's of em atm. This is just a nice short list. I do hate the quality on youtube tho.. the tracks just sound too dool unless you know them allready. Edit: Btw thx for the topic. There's a few tracks I haven't heard from the initial post aswell.

What's so hard to understand? They've completely moved to progressive, and to many fans this kind of style doesn't appeal to them.

Yeah, I know the feeling. But you know, the artists (well most of them) record everything to a hard drive in the first place. So I don't see much of a difference except that "sentimental" value.

I'm sure they'll be offering wav's and not just mp3s. You do realize a cd is just a medium that stores digital data? It doesn't matter if it spins off plastic or your hard drive platters or your ssd memmory. It's digital, ones and zeroes. And you can allways burn it on your own cd if you need to 'hold' it. Unless you want an original cd purely out of sentimental value that is.

I'll have to agree with this one. I've noticed allready from exploring the tributaries that they started commercializing. Altho it had a few gems there, but just as much fillers and old tracks re-released. This one tho.. Well there's a few good tracks, the Dewdrops (Vibrasphere & Ticon) is nice. Other then that.. really seems like a filler album to me. I'll have to give it a few more listens. Maybe it will grow on me, highly doubt it tho.
