No, I'm absolutely confident it's seriously bad taste this time around.

you're either trolling or you just happen to have seriously bad taste. I don't think time should be given any value when giving an opinion about music. These sort of details (time, artist, label) are unimportant for me at least. My only focus is on the music itself, that way my opinion about some track is as honest as possible. Yeah in the 90s there wasn't stuff that sounded like this. There still isn't, not even remotely. Hallucinogen raised the bar too high for others. Of course there are artists you could value as high as Hallucinogen, but as said they don't sound or try to sound like him.

Yeah. It's clearly stated in the topic description that this topic is pinned. Mods, you don't want to show yourself as liars do you? Pin this topic, NOW.

I also like it. Very nice sort of goa-ish early progressive, a bit in the same vein as Shiva Chandra's deput. Yeah back on topic, where is MOS? I want new album already!

I can't download a thing? I just hear the music on the link you gave...

but of course that post wasn't meant for you but that evil pagan rino.

I'm also eager to get these cds. Especially those Tea Chairs choons as the rmx of Mondo Suzuki Omnigod was one of the first trax to get me where I am. Take those, add the latest from Logic Bomb and Transwave and we get my list.

This guy got it all but decided to do the good ol' Judas Iscariot on Godford. Shame

Simon is sucha bastard!

just buy the test album for 10 euros and use the rest for a good picnic outside with some lovely woman company.

thanks Mark! your "ramblings" are highly appreciated bit of trivia. "The annoying thing (for me) is that the Howling version previous to the actual release was imho an even better track with an even greater peak (the melodies and effects just lifting stratosperically out of the main track and swirling around even more) but he released his last version. I wish I still had the previous version - it was a gem." Man you can't say stuff like this. Imagining there is even a possibility to make howling at the moon a better track just drives me crazy. You should def ask if Billy still has the prev. version gathering dust on some hard drive.

Yeah man. Listening to that "shamanix" intro made me want to smoke some weed even before I knew what weed is. I think that you have to understand that the vast majority of people who think "SIMON = GOD" are people who have understood the meaning of life.

Im interested! PM me for details.

yeah apart for the "cable guy" post I must say Cosmosis is indeet a talented artist, one of the very few to push the envelope. I also enjoyed his "synergy" album immensely and a long time it was his favourite of mine. BUT later on as I've listened to "intergalactic" I've grown to enjoy this album the most. Sophisticated, funky, detailed... I'll always like that album. Mister Mark, did you ever do any other trax than spores from space? that track is absotely insane and one of the very peaks of pietrance in my opinjon. thank you.

...yet mods have no other choice as this is the demand of the public! I've heard his music but clearly it's not composed by S. "god" Ford. this guy isn't just any random average joe. he made lsd AND in his spare time made the first mass-production car to hit the market.

Rino is right, the album is too serious.

Etnica - Shadow Dance best track I've heard in months, lovely <3

Taking my posts too seriously lead you nowhere.

I think you don't hear enough his name praised. The guy practically invented goa. The rumours state LSD was composed in '93! how's sucha achievement possible to a mortal human being.... well, it's not. As the name states we're talking about GODford here. The guy is so good he's beyond sanity yet not insane. His early trax are full of variation. Forever changing never resting. Nothing seems forced in his works as he just comes up with splendid themes and effects. You see, Simon learned an important lesson when he was young: "if you don't have a track to write, don't". After 97, he hasn't released an (hallu) album. He's still touring 10k a gig at least.... What you need to do to understand Simon is to smoke weed (or salvia), get your consciousness altered (into state without feelings) and slowed down. Only after that you can truly penetrate into the sound and it's basics. After this you're able to understand how much more is there to Hallucinogen and how much less is there to almost everything else. The most important thing is.... my whole topic is full of nonsense! The writer absolutely has no clue. I made a Godford topic and seriously failed doing so. I'm deeply sorry and please if there's anything you want to get off your heart it's: Oopie's, 2 Michael Road, London, SW6 2AD, United Kingdom.

indeet my friend. you know what's the problem? it's not the music, it's you. You've been given something as divine as Hallucinogen and still you come asking for more?? Blasphemy. You have to know when to call it quits. Now's the time. You know Hallucinogen and by so prolly his genius "twisted" and "the lone deranger" albums and that's all you're or should be getting. Of course you could argue "there's other good goa too!". But you don't need to be a god damn scene warrior to realise Hallucinogen is all you ever will need. His music is perfection and only your personal imperfection could possibly lead you to such pagan habit as asking for more (better??) goa. What are you after man? You're putting acts "AP" and "Hallu" in the same sentence. Start making sense man! Those are two very opposite acts, are you really lost or perhaps you're just jerking my chain?? if you want psychedelic muzak (hallucinogenius) then: koxbox and hux flux and cosmosis for more melodic (AP) approach then perhaps aavepyora.net, etnica and euro pop. understand that AP and Hallucinogen have name for a reason. They're teh biggest for a reason. you only get depressed trying to find something equivalent (to Godford anyway).

oh billy! *pushes his nipple against the glass*

What's the damage for 3 hallucinogen albums?? I'd like em.

The only ambient you ever need the holy grail aka "Twisted of ambient" would have to be Global Communication - Pentamerous Metamorphosis These sort of records have just one fault. They're so good other stuff will lose it's appeal and become redundant. If you still wanna keep on listening to ishq and the likes I suggest not hearing Global Communication. Especially I ask you to avoid Delta Phase. -opio-

If it's any consolation, I gave dimension 5's transdimensional 2/5 on discogs. So in other words I just might have bad taste, it happens. :posford: <- I like this Posford smiley. Makes me remember what music is all about.

I had a burned copy of infinite nothing album. I listened it once but found it so strikingly bad I didn't even want to give it to a friend, but threw it in the trash can where it clearly belonged. <3 To my ears it just sounded very amateurish, repetitive, bad ideas/composition. :drama:
