  1. Name one? Ok, goa gil. More recently? I can name a couple actually that I would go see strictly cause I know they are good at what they do. Just in my hometown back in the 00s I knew a dozen djs that I would avoid and about 4-5 that I favored. And the good djs where praised and properly appreciated As far as them not being as popular or widely known as the artists speaks for itself.
  2. Haha yep that phone scared me.
  3. the first track sounded nice but the second one sounded like 96k mp3 so its hard to judge =)
  4. 3rd listen now and its starting to grow a little; due to a couple of really nice treats. im very impressed how he managed to capture the Astral sound of Another World on Sand of time (and a couple of other tracks), aswell as Filterias sound on another track. Thats very cool. I really dig when artist show other artists homage like that But even Sand of time get a little bland i think towards the middle and end. edit: Sunrise is my new favorite. Slow start, but then it really hits home i think. Very nice track. For this and considering the rest id give the album a solid 3.5+
  5. haha really? well then, that is indeed interesting i guess its a bit subjective, i prefer the more miniscule kick+basses (i.e filteria and the likes) but i do like powerful stuff too ofc, this just sounded a bit much on the emphasis side, more than the balanced side.
  6. yeah psynews BEEN dying.. but its allright, we still here
  7. yeah sand of time is for sure my fav of the album so far too. but theres really alot of generic tracks on here, about 2-3 good tracks so far i think yep filterias kicks lack any real depth. but excellent for home listening
  8. yeah i miss it. i remember the summer of 2003, it was fullon all the way, and i think i remember i had like dozens of good tracks from then, but turns out, its just a few. couple talamasca stuff (not his albums, VA stuff), silicon sound, and some other generic stuff that sounded great (space monkey for example). seems that style died out very quickly for some reason! U-Recken is awesome btw, a bit muddy and boomy, but really really good stuff. in fact im gonna check out every single track from your OP recursion i havent heard most of them =)
  9. had not heard merkaba before. sounds allright
  10. thanks for writing guys, i have several tracks to check out very nice lists! guess the topic was a bit boring and abit overdone perhaps ^^
  11. decided to give it another go and yep. @GhostOnAcidwas quite right...i dont fully get the hype. (yet anyway) production and sound quality is all great @Padmapanireally curious what you think of the album when u get the chance to listen.
  12. wow that thing looks absolutely stunning
  13. The pleasure was mine! I really love the first track, heres also it on youtube Good luck and best wishes
  14. welcome home everyone (most likely tomorrow or whenever it may be) now we want pics and stories, plenty of stories and reviews
  15. ok so the goa purists comment is gone so i guess my reply was redundant.
  16. press CTRL, and then drag the things down, and you will rezise them all at the same time. =) if you mouseover the small black lines that form the box around the channel name; it turns into a thing you can then change size with. and if you hold CTRL while doing it, it will change them all. and may i recommend an update to cubase 10, its amazing! granted im only on 9.5 but had a 60 day trial of 10 recently. so now im just saving up :p
  17. impossible to answer, but Filteria - Daze (both Wormhole and Big Blue are signature tracks not to mention the absolutely gorgeous Filtertraces), Mindsphere - Mental Triplex, and hallucinogen - lone deranger are three i can think of immediately that has superb if not perfect production
  18. Just 1st listen atm. AP vs Mindpshere is a very accurate description! That is, to the sound signature/mixing style/production style. (Its much more Mindsphere than it is AP, though - overall ) The writing of the music itself; only at 1st listen though - seem to be on the slightly hasty side. I kinda have to agree to a minor extent to what GhostOnAcid said. it seems a bit "arpeggio ultra 303 3/16th ping pong delay deluxe" . But its a great album (still, 1st listen only ) and im curious to see how it grows on me.
  19. i should have made my list recent too, i thought, then i thought some more and realised that IS my recent list hehe. the old stuff is hard to just stop listening to all together. 'sweet list btw, cool addition with the afterthoughts .. and I fully agree on your sentiment on Sunshine, that is also my favorite track off of genesis. I think. But in contrast to you, i actually really like that album, and think many tracks on there sound really interesting and very unique sound indeed. Why? amongst others. Sunshine is for sure the easiest to like on the album.
  20. i certainly like these topics.. i love to see what people write down, and to recognise music you also love. or give you brand new artists/tracks to discover. Its a cool thing to see. and i also know its human nature to write lists so please, have fun. so my intention was to create a list that has 10 tracks, each with an artist you think is worthy of belonging in a top 10. I realise you probably have 50 artists you wanna put there (I do). So just make it a recent list, or whatever your memory comes up with. and by favorite i dont mean the best. So it can be that quirky track that noone likes but you. Or whatever. or it IS the best one. dont matter. Just dont use the same tracks as those in the top 3 from top 3 topic no inbound order btw! 1. Man With No Name - Quietman - The sleeper remix (Axis Flip still the best ) 2. Cosmosis - Moonshine 3. Infected Mushroom - Spaniard 4. Filteria - Filtertraces (Abstract Dream Remix) 5. Artifact303 - For a better world 6. Green Nuns of the Revolution - Klunk 7. Astral Projection - The Nexus 8. Vibrasphere - Thermal Twist (the single best progressive trance track there is ) 9. California Sunshine - Tokyo Underground 10. Blue Planet Corporation - Alidade I put the one in Bold letters as the best one in the list.. so please do that too, i think it adds another layer into it
  21. I'm not a huge fan of his first two albums either, they are a bit on the chaotic side. With daze the mixing got really really good and I think this one was a few years after daze, so he was a bit experimental with this release but I think he nailed it. Then with lost in the wild the chaos came back again unfortunately, but lost is still great not just as good as this or Daze
  22. personally i love the fun but compettive aspect of a remix competition. would this be of interest? theres alot of amateurs and pros here, so it could be a very cool mishmash of results... just checking if that is something anyone else would find fun. (so for example a random track that everyone tries to remix to the best of their ability in a given timeframe; and then a judge chooses a winner we had somehting like this going all the time back in the early 2000s on a forum i used to frequent then.. and it was alot of fun!
  23. it was allight a bit eventless but nice sound quality. i prefer that space monkey track similar style but a bit more digital sounding than this. anyway, time for some oldie but goldie it didnt age that great tho. just sounds dated now. IIRC eizen engineered the track on an Atari back then. so not bad at all (did use alot of outboard gear though , obviously)
