[X-Dream - We Interface]

Does somebody know the meaning of the japanese voice sample in "We Interface"?

[Your favourite Psy albums of 2004 so far]

My faves so far (in no particular order):

 

X-Dream - We Interface -> leaving the boundaries of common psytrance - and i like listening to each of their albums since there's a clear development into something which never existed before in electronic music

 

 

Freq - Strange Attractors -> these wobbling pads in the beginning of "Return To The Master" are just pure BLISS!

 

 

Lani - Our Way To The Sun -> it seems like i still enjoy some melodic stuff - but what language are these female voice samples in "Iri's Incantation"?

 

 

Son Kite - Colours -> funny - in a way. Take "On Air", for instance. First i thought my CD player is going to die on me (4:45) but then i realized that these guys are going to leave the nowadays ubiquitous 4 on the floor stomper rhythm by screwing it up.

 

 

Lemurians - Secret Message -> for me it sounds like IM goes progressive although its not prog for me at all. Awesome prodution!

 

 

Astrix - Artcore -> This guy knows how to express and create moods but i prefer listening to these tunes via headphones. Loudspeakers usually sound too clean for this album

 

 

 

 

and I'm sure there's still more great stuff to come 'til the end of the year

["Silicon Sound - Shodan" sound sample]

That sample doesn't come from a movie but a computer game called "System Shock 2". It's a couple of years old already. The game is about a space station orbiting jupiter (or was it saturn?) in which the bord computer Shodan develops an (evil) consciousness (wants to destroy earth or something) and has to be destroyed by the player.

[Sonnenvakuum - Phonotonie]

i guess in this context the word windungen means brain (Gehirnwindungen) so

it's like:

"vibrations to all who send our sounds through the brain"

well, that sentence ain't make much sense in german either
