    Well I think that's a bit of overeaction. With any kind of pre-order you run the risk to miss the stated release date. No big deal if you ask me. That's why pre-orders work best with labels and names you trust and you know they will deliver. So, i ask you my good sir. Do YOU trust DAT Records? <_<

     

    I do ^_^^_^

    EDIT:

    BTW, no offence but I don't think the Bandcamp comments are meant for something like that. They should reflect the opinion about the music and since it is not released yet, there should be none. It is very easy to send a direct message to the label.

    Veasna - 5ynergy

    in Crowd Funding Projects

    Being one of those oldschoolers always complaining about the differences between Goa and NeoGoa Veasna continues to surprise me. He is one of the very few artists that managed to capture the feeling of Goa so well. Pledged. Everyone else should to.

    Veasna - 5ynergy - 5th Anniversary EP (and maybe album!)

    In late 2013, I started the Veasna project with one thing in mind: make people jump around on trancefloors! Knowing the genre for a decade already, only that year I started visiting my first parties and the feeling totally captured me in many ways.

    I started to try and channel that energy into music, which I have been making for a long time already but without any real "goal" behind it. The result was Veasna, and I met relatively quick success: only one year later, Neogoa Records released my probably most famous track "Quantum Conundrum". In 2016, I found myself having produced enough music to fit my first full-length album, Energy. Now as it is with releases, not all tracks I had by then made it to that album.

    As it so happens, this time of the year, Veasna turns five years old. So I feel it's time to get a few more of those tracks out into the world! On December 1, I will release 5ynergy - a 5th Anniversay EP that contains five tracks, four of them previously unreleased and one heavily improved. All of them have been originally produced in 2013 and 2014 - my first year on the project - so expect music roughly in the style of Energy. :)

    The release will be exclusive to my Bandcamp (which I'll put up very soon) and will be free on a "pay something to support me if you like" basis for a bunch of weeks as a Christmas gift of sorts. I hope you're looking forward to this as much as I do - stay tuned!

    Why not print a short run digipack? I could help :) 

    Digital Reprints News

    in Artist News and Labels announcements

    Posted

    When the idea of Digital Reprints first came to me, almost 2 years ago, I'd never imagined the weight of the artists' names that I would collaborate with. Entheogenic, Kaya Project, Globular, Cosmosis, Astronaut Ape and lastly KUBA. And now? A label whose releases I closely follow since 1994 (yes, I consider Dragonfly Records and Liquid Sound Design as one entity) is giving me the opportunity to be part of their vision. In true Digital Reprints manner (Limited, Hand-numbered) here comes a 4xCD digipack with a collection of some of their digital releases. To be released on time for holidays prepare for an amazing trip. The signed version is also massive, 4 different artists will sign only 10 copies worldwide for the lucky few. Suns Of Arqa, DUB TREES, Saafi Brothers and I-One come together to create a unique box set. Grab your copy now.

    Meat eater/Vegetarian/Vegan. What are you?

    Fair  enough, I'll bite. What you posted is a pop science article and it aptly demonstrates what I mentioned earlier.  For the sake of discussion, pop science has no peer review that's worth mentioning. Among the references are actual researches with their own goals and conclusions - these are certainly peer reviewed.

    As for the article

    A few excerpts. 

    
Vegetarians generally consume as
much iron as, or slightly more than,
omnivores.

    Said to be the concluded from [16]. Let's see [16], then. The purpose of [16] is clearly stated in their abstract - the study of bioavailability of iron and what controls (or inhibits) absorbtion - groups of Dutch people seem to be tested. [16] is obviously being quoted out of context for they make no such claim.

    There is no way of knowing, in general, that either one consumes more iron than the other. Rather, it is important, that either diet could provide sufficient amount of iron.

    The article poses an empty statement to meet some necessary word count or some such.

    ------------------------- 

    
Many scientists are calling for a
substantial reduction of livestock products
in the diet of humans as a major way
to reverse climate change.

    Wrong. The following conclusion is arrived at in [107]. 

    
Conclusions
Consuming a more plant-based diet could to an extent alleviate the negative environmental impacts related to food production. As a method to feed ourselves more sustainably, behavioural adjustments appear to be a very important tool.

    They make no certain claims, rather suggest that this is worth investigating and I agree, but this does not imply what was said in the article.

    -------------------------

    I also found this gem 

    
In addition, beef production
generates considerably more manure
waste than from any other animal food
production.

    This is said to be [108], which contains political statements in its conclusion. A big nono, so we'll regard that as a tongue-in-cheek essay.

    As for manure itself, it is a fertiliser :D Around here, that's how seasonal agriculture functions. The land is fertilised with captured manure. Live stock is as essential to plant life as it is to live stock.

    -------------------------

    So, by now I think we get the picture. It is not about which diet is 'better', rather which diets are suitable for which people. As a prevalent characteristic of many references of the article - the goals of those works are to study the effects of either diet and to find balance. As an extreme example there is a certain condition that may cause (near) paralysis for people on a daily basis. Consuming more meat products significantly alleviates the condition (this is a recent discovery by G. Pilz based on relevant theory, he recently gave a talk in our university and as he himself suffers from this near paralysis condition, he applied the theory to narrow down his diet very quickly to determine which products he should discard).

    We should distinguish between veganism and veganism*. The latter is a political crusade, while the former is merely another way of life. I know people who have tried vegan diets for months only to end up more in despair and I also know people who have no problems with having only plant foods. Lots of interesting research is carried out on the subject of diets, but the crusaders are incorrectly quoting these discoveries. This is no surprise, though, while the meat eaters don't have their clips of loons with flamethrowers burning down bushes of berries, plenty of pop science has been written against vegan diets. It is not so well-known simply because it's not the stance promoted by the propaganda machine.

    Don't become a crusader, please. If your diet works for you, then all is well. As long as you are honest with yourself, you shouldn't get into health trouble.

    Now, I need me a lamb leg, baked potatoes, some tomato salad and lots of gravy. Have fun :wub:

     

    Unfortunately you have to be a research scientist to know how to properly read a paper. The majority of people don't. Kudos for taking the time and posting it here. I couldn't bother explaining it to people. :)

    Hello,

    Sorry I didn't post any response earlier here, since last night I logged in and noticed this topic.

    As far as I know, Kris is working on his album as much as he can. Do I need to remind you that he also got few other active music projects he is working on constantly, alongside with Ultimate Xperience? Besides that, I'm sure the real life duties also takes a lot of his free time (he is not only musician, he is a father and family man too), alongside with playing live shows.

    That being said, we at Neogoa gave Kris full freedom and time he needs to work on the album finalization. We don't want to rush it and we want to make sure everything goes as Kris and we planned. That's only what matters to us and I believe to all fans and people who are interested in his work and music.

    We put really A LOT of effort to bring Lazarus Rising to all of you, FOR FREE. Now it's time to elevate that and we need time and focus to complete the process. New tracks he sent me are even better than material on Lazarus Rising and from a perspective of a fan, I also look very forward to the new album.

    Just a clarification - that album was released with different label, if I may add.

     

    Just saying that is Work in Progress and not abandoned would be enough for me :rolleyes: Relieved.
