    Your top 10 Trance albums of all time

    I find it interesting that ppl refer to Osom, Kamino & Psykovsky as "dark". I actually find this style both live & otherwise to be more suited to twilight or sunrise. See KDD do sunrise a few years back in Japan was much more amazing than seeing him play earlier around midnight at the same gig.

    Shpongle - Museum of Consciousness [Twisted, 2013]

    I'm not one for long winded reviews. Simply, this is Shpongle sounding like well Shpongle. Nothing new, a bit of old & all in all I think it's great. Personally I really love the fact they haven't changed, Younger Bother IMO changed for the worse but this is a lovely hour of psychedelic worldly fusion music that has a slight more dancefloor orientation but overall is good wholesome Shpongely fun :)

    Music only. Also some comic books like TinTin, Astrix & Spawn. I used to collect books until they released an app for my iPad in Australia where for no cost I can get digital books for loan from my local library over wifi.

    How come we love psychedelic trance, and it irritates people?

    I played a gig at a commercial trance club a month ago as a favor to an old friend. 300 ppl at a "super club", 4-6am slot. Stupidly I thought at the time I grabbed my Zion604 & DAT CDs instead of my small commercial trance collection. I still played knowing my good friend & club owner was soooo not paying me the agreed $200 he'd offered me. I opened with

    & my god did the crowd of mostly 18-21 year olds go wild with joy! I played Crossing Mind, Lotus Omega, Eat Static, Cosmosis and such for 2 hours to a better reaction than any recent psy gigs where I played the same.

     

    I am doing another gig there playing the same next weekend after my holiday ends. Funny thing is that this old Goa/Psy is getting such a good reaction from commercial crowd in Melbourne than Goa/Psy crowd! It's so weird. I'm planning to see what happened when I drop some Process & Sandman type tracks. Hopefully my copy of Tribal Encore has arrived when I get back :)

    A trance tune is a conversation, isn't it?

    Definitely for example Shpongle to me encapsulates Raja Ram's psychedelic ramblings in the music, especially the first two albums. So psy/goa for sure is a journey but much of the minimal/techno influenced styles to me is just like other electronic music, and a lot of the modern progressive is just absolute trash by anyone's standard sadly.

    Dark Minimal Psy

    That's cool, just that a lot of my mates who are long term minimal techno dj's (most have been playing since the late 80's) they use a lot of the tracks from those labels as they see it more as "atmospheric minimal techno". They do not however see Sensient's current work as minimal, one of them said it has far too much groove for one thing, and not a rough enough production style.

     

    Personally I also disagree with them to a degree, but music is subjective which is why discussions are fun. I mean some ppl will only call Jeff Mills etc. minimal, others would include Dave The Drummer & even some of the Stay Up Forever sound as minimal. Boshke + H&H to me a very minimal compared to all other styles of this genre.

    What Do You Listen through?

    Currently iphone & audio technica noise canceling headphones. Is ok, nothing special. Will be moving houses by Xmas & depending on budget looking at getting some Dynaudio speakers with a nice amp & woofer. I hardly listen to actual CDs any more, my music will stream as wavs through the amp.

    Ok now I get what you meant. I too am sorry for being overly sensitive. I guess that it's because I'm a stay at home Dad and I've been copping shit left right & center from health professionals, Mums & other ppl as Australia is very conservative in many ways about such things. I'm a bit sensitive when ppl comment on parenting.

     

    Apologies to all & everyone. If this can be forgiven can we go back to the music? :) cheers to y'all

    @ Rotwang not at all. I just find it fascinating that you feel the need to step in & regulate a healthy albeit mildly aggressive discussion between two grown men. Kind of like the secret police who insert themselves into a situation waiting for the right moment to arrest, albeit as the newcomer my guess is Antic at most would get awarding if he responded in kind & I'd probably be banned for life?

     

    I'm just curious how the culture of moderation works here compared to say Isratrance. Years before I signed up I recall the era of Nemo and was it Mars that ruled with an authority that the North Koreans would've admired? Is it still the same?

     

     

    If so & if healthy arguments are not encouraged I'll happily leave now.

    Mate, I responded to comments you posted on a forum. If you don't want people to respond then don't post. I'm not you're "yes" person.

     

    Secondly, I have a very happy & well adjust 15 month old son. A word of advice do not f*cking ever judge a parent. You have no right to do this, and even before I had my own child I always hated people who stood around judging parents. It's just wrong.
