X-scream

:lol: I think this one has a kind of early darkpsy thing going on.. especially the latter part of "Nobody" Various - Psy-Harmonics Vol. 3 - Hacking The Reality Myth 1 Visitors - Tiny Little Engines (8:26) 2 Shaolin Wooden Men -Ragu (6:30) 3 Reflecta - Creatures (5:59) 4 Insurge - Speculator (Into The Abcess Remix) (5:59) 5 Parasonix - Buzzbug (8:45) 6 Fluro Conspiracy - Ancient Suns (6:51) 7 Snake Thing - Shango (9:01) 8 Max Q - Sometimes (Budget Truffle's Remix) (7:06) 9 Psyko Disko - Nobody (8:07)

horrible track IMO

unbelievable

Amazing! Didn't quite like it back in 2003, but it has grown on me enormously. All tracks are excellent and varied in both style and atmosphere. The progg/tech housey influences of benji combined with simon's magic manipulations are especially outstanding in "Scanner" and "Even dwarves...", wow! 5/5

sounds like a cheat code for Gradius III on super nintendo?

I really like how the KOB sound has evolved! Håll fanan högt Awesome atmosphere in Those_Talking_Machines!

yeah, I think I'll look into that But Live works damn well on it's own too. It's soooo flexible and easy to work with. Love it

hmm, Seraphim.. are you sure about Speculator and Nobody being maybe the worst psytrance tracks ever? I mean, just listen to the final two minutes of each track and come post again. Seriously those endings are some of the sickest I have ever heard.. It might be the odd voice samples that made you press stop, but you should listen again 5/5 No bad tracks.. Favs: 1!, 2, 3, 4!, 9!

I miss music that makes people close their eyes instead of airpunching I miss the journey-like arrangements I miss the psychedelia in psytrance, compared to most things today those old magical tracks still sound otherwordly both in a sober and that other state of mind I miss those fast screaming, ripping, mad melodies that just totally melts me... - Green Nuns - Conflict - Growling Mad Scientist - I'll Be Back I miss those slow mystical, spacey adventures... - Planet B.E.N. - Trippy Future Garden - Ololiuqui - Phyt Sure there is some very good new music out but they are good in other ways like funkiness, power,etc. But almost none capture that old wonderful atmosphere.

got Nova Natura today, very smooth stuff! Thanks a lot

yeah, but your spectrum analyzer talk was wrong And yeah, you see the bitrate at around +600 kbps in your win(e)amp, what's your point? It's like... hmm let's say there was a text editor which could automatically open zipped textfiles and display the unzipped version. And in the status bar it said "this was zipped to 80% of it's original size". That's how the bitrate should be interpreted in winamp edit: The zipped text file analogy only works on lossless codecs! It doesn't make sense to destructively compress text..

OT, but there seems to be some misunderstanding regarding digital audio so let's clear things up once and for all mp3: compressed, desctructive (the decoded result is not the same as the original format) flac: compressed, lossless, the ZIP-analogy fits perfect for FLAC.. (the decoded result is exactly the same as the original format) 'Original format' above refers to the format from which the encoded file was encoded. To be very specific, you do not play the actual encoded audio file, but you play the decoded version of that audio file.. Not sure if you fully understand this reger, but to me it sounds like you think the actual FLAC is played and FLAC chooses not to play the "unnecessary" bits which would only be seen in a "spectrograph". This is false So MP3s or FLAC or any other encoded file for that matter, cannot be played per se. Your media player first decodes the file and plays the result in real-time. Going back to the zip analogy.. Let's say you zip a textfile to "file.txt.zip".. if you open that file in a texteditor it will just be garbage. To actually view it you need to unzip it of course! It sounds super obvious with text files but yes, that applies to flac too! If your media player would play and interpret the flac file as the decoded version it would be just random noise! Lossless formats seem to confuse a lot of people (which is understandable: how can you 'remove' something and still have everything left?). Hope things got a little more clear now EDIT: and back on topic: CD quality is a very ambigous term.. it's been used on 192-kbps MP3 and on FLAC as well. Basically it can have the meaning of near "CD quality" (high bitrate MP3), which means if you're not an audiophile you probably wont hear the difference between the MP3 and a CD version (wav) of it. Or it can be just "CD quality", which would apply to an album encoded to FLAC, see above for more details Not sure what you mean but a lot of shops that sell "downloads" pay more for an MP3 encoded version of an album than you would have to pay if you bought the CD in a local shop (for some strange reason). So there are no 'must be' in this case.. It depends, but it is most likely true yes. But also note that an 128 MP3 can be different from an 128 MP3! You can adjust the quality of the encoding process in most programs to speed up the encoding or increase the quality of the result. So in the extreme case, very fast but low quality MP4 encoding (128), and very slow but very high quality MP3 encoding (128) the MP3 version could might as well win, but I'm not sure

I agree with your list completely.. but I'd like to add: Phi - I don't need your justice Starts off quite boring with regular KBBB-combo, but the part after 5:34 is one of the best moments in fullon

Hey! Long time no post You know those that just builds and builds into some kind of chaotic euophoria.. and just suddenly stops.. no calm endings or kick-only fadeouts or whatever. Looking for some sweet stuff to end my sets with. So far I've found 3 strong contestants for the best ending ever Insurge - Speculator (Into the Acess Remix) Amazingly fantastic and totally mind melting aussie goa.. those last screaming melodies are just wow, running at around 155BPM Elixir - Furious Very raw and big sound, nice explosive ending... GNOTR - Conflict No comment

nice to hear that someone's actually beatmatching goa, and without total wreckage.. very smooth harmonically, nice tracks... I like

Insa, not all music needs to be hard and serious dance floor punchers. Listen again, this is excellent (fun)ky, groovy and epic new spytranz!

thanks I like you

I'd like Nova Natura, please

Yay

thanks for the praise

I think the sound is quite good, if you compare it to other clips from psyevents on e.g youtube. They usually sound like distorted white noise...
