  1. I read an article some time ago which said that if you had sufficient chemistry knowledge to make LSD it was easier and more profitable to make other drugs instead.

    Well it could be, Im not gonna say thats not true since im not a chemist but it wouldnt make marketing sense. I mean the point of cutting a drug with something else or substituting it entirely like on tabs is to make more money. The substitute drug should be cheaper and/or easier to make. 

     

    maybe it's also a regional thing?

    If what you say is true, this is probably the case. Kinda weird tho, because XTC pills are really potent here but that is the characteristic of the entire EU I guess.

  2. party drugs have been part of the scene for longer than the scene itself (they were prevalent before goa split off of trance). so these drugs cannot be responsible. 

     

    i think the true reason is that the audience is much bigger than before, with not so much a community as before and more people who'll just go to a psy party because, well, it's just a party (and the people are usually nicer than anywhere else). of course it's a sort of chicken-egg-question to ask if the scene changed first to demand simpler music or if the music changed first to attract different people (probably both at different places and different times. *looks towards israel and brazil with an evil expression* ).

    i think another point is that a larger percentage of the younger generation (with the increasing economic insecurity they're facing and the social control mechanisms posed by social media) is much more conformistic than we were. they'll rather not be challenged too much by weird music and want to party in a way that's more acceptable by mainstream society.

    But you cant deny the decline in consumption of LSD and Psilocybe mushrooms on parties. Now its all basically XTC/MDMA, aphetamines and cocaine. There is a reason why those drugs are mainly used on techno, minimal, deep hause parties. Its because that kind of sound suits that state of mind. Im talking from personal experience aswell. Also you cant deny that the whole psychedelic culture was heavily influenced by psychedelic drugs. All the way from the days of psy-rock. So its obvious that if you change the drug, culture and the needs of its members change with it. 

  3. Yeah Orange Is the New Black is pretty cool.

     

    Also I want to ask, what is it that Stranger Things does that is so good that it made such a great impression on people? I mean I would rate the show with 6/10 at best. Plot is meh, acting is okay, characters themselves are very meh, its not frighting, its not thrilling, its not original at anything. I dont get it o.O

  4. Yeah I totally get at what this guy was aimig at. Hes trying to make that heavy and trippy atmosphere similar to Shpongle. Lots of real percussion noises and echoing vocals, but this guy straight up FAILED. I got bored 5 minutes in, tried skipping along but its all just a bunch of empty bass lines followed by warped vocals echoing around, trying way too hard to implement tribal sounds. Litterally just a bunch of repeating voice samples, a bassline and tribal noise and maybe a few FX but thats it.

  5. It's similar in overall vibe (a brilliant and uncompromising detective, who can't help being dragged personally into the crimes he's trying to solve), but I'd say not AS dark and disturbing as True Detective. But then nothing really is... If you've Netflix (or piratebay...) try first 2-3 episodes of season 1, but beware it might be difficult to sometime understand what they're saying because they're using proper - and slang - English :D

    I watched the first episode and Im hooked! I love how Luther himself is prone to violence and just his character in general. I also love how seductive Alice Morgan is, even though she is what she is. Hope shes here to stay! Anyway, thanks mate!  :D

  6. Luther is back with 3rd season on Netflix, so if you like dark & disturbing crime stories then it's worth checking out.

    Is it something like the first season of True Detective? I really enjoyed the philosophy-heavy plot, so if Luther is anything like that, IM IN! :)

  8. I sat on this one for a bit longer so that I can see how exactly I feel about this. + What i like, - Dont like (Based on TASTE)

     

    + Suntrip and Nikola personally have done a great job of getting the album out there with a lot of interesting FB posts and promotion on local parties where you can buy the cd etc...

    + Good production

    + I like Nikola's position on this album and how he took his time to perfect it to his taste

    + Very energetic music and high bpm

    + Variety. Some tracks do sound similar which will be the point of next bullet, but there are some good exclusions to that like: 3,5 and 9 for an example

    + Cosmos In Her Eyes is hands down the best track on this album for me.

    - -/+ Predictable. Throughout the album I had a feeling that I knew what was going to happen 15 seconds before it does and how he is going to do it. Its like I heard the tracks before but I didn't. I had this feeling the most when he was building op to blast his full on melodies. Now, Im not sure if this patterned musical mindset that he has when he is making music is bad or good. Good because he found the formula that he likes and that works (+) and bad because it gets predictable (- -).

    - Cover. Dont like it. Think it's goofy and too colorful
