  1. Rino, it says on the website "totemism" is an unreleased track from the early 90s so I definitely think you should "lift your eyebrow" for this one.
  2. too slow, I already took em.
  3. do you actually like it or do you just orgasm because it's rare?
  4. good buy I'd say. still sounds as fabulous as I first heard it. I'm gonna get som' licious goods: plastikman - consumed, artifacts (BC), sheet one va - cabinet records classics & unreleased shiloh - bleed va - closer to the edit DE9 mix by richie hawtin ! : )

    Ra - To Sirius

    I bought this, spinned it a couple of times, gave it to a friend. ROM and Paradox have great climaxes in my opinion but overall I'll pass.
  6. Hey Oopie! I have a song to share with you. When are you available for IM?

  7. thanks mom! I'm quite sad to see my topic didn't spur discussion what so ever. I used quite much time on my thoughts and really would've liked some feedback. then you get 2-3 pages on objectifying women. =(
  8. I like the way you put it charlie. it's easy to spot who's the witty englishman here and who's the barbarian caveman using 2nd grade engrish.
  9. I don't see psyko disko cd on my tradelist? perhaps I traded it already to a green nuns cd, could that be so...
  10. I thought this topic would better fit in the off topic section since the discussion is about philosophy of music rather than music itself. This will be first out of two music philosophy topics by boobsy collins. I see it as there would be 2 big frames around music (sound): visual (the artwork etc.) and time (when was x released). Now, people often take these factors into consideration when they give their opinions about music. I find this troublesome and think it's time to have a chat about these music frames. here's some of my views on the subject... How should one approach visual aspect of music?? To start with, I have to say it's more than important to understand the nature of vision: It doesn't contain any absolute value. This means the value is abstract or non-existent if you want to put it that way. A visible object needs a reviewer before its characteristics can be valued (and even then the value is only reviewer's subjective opinion). The object never gets over non-value by itself. When giving a valuation, the reviewer is actually just reflecting his own persona thru his/her sense of vision (goes for other senses too). So when thinking about reviews you can come to a conclusion: you can never truly read about the object's characters as it has no value in itself! The reviewer is in fact talking about himself; what do I look for in music? what does it give me? what sort of memories does it bring to surface? etc. So if you can't give absolute review about visual aspect of music (or actual music either, goes for both) should you give one at all? For sure goa-head! Vision is a gift that I think should be enjoyed and used. If you get positive vibes why hide em? Is there really anything more amazing? An object which in itself would have no emotions, but the reviewer can use it to create them. It's the opposite that's problematic: the negative/disliking attitude/reviewing. What I think one should learn is humbleness. Far too often I see people giving arrogant shouts as "gay eurotrance cover lol!" Person saying things like that lacks respect towards artist's work. That's sad and causes nothing but bad spirit and friction between people. The main point is, you can and SHOULD tolerate and respect artist's work even if you don't consider it valuable to yourself. Only exception I can think of is when the artwork (or music itself) is promoting something you find morally wrong: slavery, inequality, killing etc. The worst part is when a person correlates the "quality" of artwork and music. These two aren't related! The other can be sensed by vision, the other by hearing. It's of course a pleasure if these two (sound, looks) match and complement each other. But you cannot know with certainty if the the music sounds good when the cover looks great (or vice versa). Assumptions are not necessary. How should one approach time (when was x released) aspect of music?? How often do you have to read: "Considering when it was released..." or "ahead of its time"?? Comments as these I find absolutely irrelevant. I strongly think time-factor shouldn't play a role when it comes to appreciating music. This is actually a bit more problematic musical frame than the first one as it rarely (what I've seen) comes out in a negative form (this music can't be good because it was released x). So if it's not a big negative factor what's the fuzz then?? Well think of those blissful occasions when you come across some really good music but can't recognize the artist (like in a party). Your whole attention is concentrated on the music (!) because you don't know the frames around the music. This is what music is at its best: just you and the sound. Only when you don't have expectations or prejudices can you have a full musical experience. Of course one could give a release cultural value: how it was influential in building up the scene or making the genre progress forward. But cultural aspect of appreciation shouldn't lead to direct appreciation of music itself. Realize these are two different aspects. If you mix them up it only causes prejudices towards the music and restrains your ability to listen to the music without frames. Only without frames you are free. :----) These were my thoughts as of now. Feel free to comment and discuss.
  11. bfiuuuuu!
  12. I was told tribute is from 1995 and another track called "tribute (to goa)" is from 1993.
  13. man I lurv some of the tea chairs trax I've heard. triple compilation doesnt sound bad at all <3<3
  14. whou man, are these great news or what? Billy if you're reading this - my suggestion for the possible oldies compilation: 1) if you have enough trax make a double cd. 2) if you have unrlsd old trax that you think are worth hearing plz release them. There's plenty of old goa suckers who would die to hear them. ps. I saw you here in finland few weeks ago. did you rock I don't remember, perhaps beer has something to do with it? anyways, I'm always an optimist and say if you don't remember it must've been good.
  15. no, thank you. but please high almighty, don't time travel to the past anymore to change your good trax into something forgettable.
  16. man it's obvious you have goa spirit pulsing in your veins. I bet you have some p2p program anyways so I give you a little list of melodic oldies but goldies: pleiadians - alcyone, pleiadians, headspin etnica - nice toy, party droid, trip tonite jaia - brainstorm, mai mai shakta - spiritual beings in physical bodies cosmosis - alien disco, gift of the gods psychopod - dreampod, psychopod and why not mention some more recent crazy ass stuff? www.aavepyora.net is your place. listen to "goddess guerilla" or "electro fluoro punx", I think they're great.
  17. ah that explains it! wish I had some extra money, there sure are some good stuff on your list.
  18. how come you are selling all of those man??
  19. have you noticed it's been too long since we praised our lord? since we have raised our hands to the sky hoping for some seriously bent out twisted acid from the godford himself?? So anyways the almighty decided to give a lesson to the mortal fool that I am the other day. I walked into the record store and noticed matsuri's comp "excerpts from the databass" for next to nothing. I didn't even look at the tracklist but walked to the counter. I was hooked. I didn't see it coming! My evil pagan habits had led to this. You see, I pressed play and couldn't have guessed what was to come when Prana's great Geomantik was playing. Next track: Doof I Think We Can Go To The Moon (Full Moon Mix) (7:03) Producer, Written-By - Nick Barber , Simon Godford Guess what C'mon had done? He time-travelled to the past, teamed with his sidekick Barbershop-Nick, and made the most boring track you could imagine! The same melody repeats itself all the 7 minutes, no variation what so ever in it. Simon's lesson was a harsh one but clearly needed. I started crying and begged for forgiveness and a sign how to undo the evil. I remembered an interview where Simon had been asked the meaning of life which to he replied: "42". I made a quick calculation 4+2=5 so clearly I was supposed to play Typhoon's overture. I never heard the track before but hot damn give goa chance this track owned. I instantly knew I had been forgiven and lighted up a candle to honour the creator. This was the wake-up call I needed! No more techno says the god. Now it's only elitist forever changing never resting goa for me. C'mon has once again led me to the right path.
  20. this post will make my penis at least 0.3 millimeters longer! (so it would be twice as long as before...) cheap ebay cds: midi miliz - antistat planet BEN - test/trippy future garden saikopod - phutures and options ra - too serious B-| and from lovely josephino aka abasino: organic noise - vacuum tube synchro - drugs synchro - elektrik cool stuff thx! from the 2nd hand bin: va - excerpts from databass damn that's lot! but you know in the long run it's cheaper than those penis enlargement pills. those came yesterday so I might have more waiting for me when I get home. Imagine, my dick could be soon visible to eye yee-ha!
  21. sähköposti would be email
  22. I suggest checking out valoverstas web shop. I think they have quite many of those suomi cds available.
  23. I've been meaning to check out that album do you like it?? I've only heard "the dolls" release by ripatti and man I was more than dissapointed :/
  24. Analog Dinosaur Records sounds witty and funny I'd choose that "analog dinosaur" could be translated as if the label was known of releasing lots of analog-based music. "analog dinosaur" could also be a reference to the fact that the analog-based music released sounds old school in some way.
