    dubious methods in the psytrance scene (?)

    in General Psytrance

    Posted

    I got a reply from Brian Jensen who said "I dont run crotus anymore. It was bought by a German guy also running Plusquam." So i sent a mail to Plusquam Records and asked if they really bought Crotus Records, which they denied. Quite strange, isn't it?

     

    It seems there's not only love and good vibes in the psytrance scene. Any comments or explanations are welcome. :)

    Plusquam Records (and Midijum Records and Synergetic Records) are now owned by the guy who also owns Psytropic Records, Thomas Vitali aka Chemicus aka Psynina. If Plusquam has bought Crotus it means really that Vitali has bought it. Try asking Vitali direct.

    Remastered and Rereleased Oldschool Music

    Sorry man that's just nonsense! By buying re-released CDs u actually do show the artist respect, since u actually give "direct" support to the artist(s) who made the music, instead of sponsoring another collector! I mean wtf does the artist gain from that?

    As someone who has had some of their music re-released on these labels I can state that at no time since their re-release have I been given any royalties for their sales :)

    Hi all

     

    My blue laptop bag was stolen at the Cyberlink "Not Too Cheesy 2009" party, in Pedrogão Grande on 02.05.2009. The bag contained my laptop, soundcard, MIDI controller, passport and wallet, amongst many other things. If anyone has any information about this please contact me directly - O_O_O_D@yahoo.com. I was playing at this party for free - no fee - so this is a very very hard blow for me.

    If I get my stuff back, I will reward anyone who helps. If anyone knows them, Rita and Sa were apparently the last people to see my bag; I was DJing in the chillout when this happened.

     

    Thanks for your help.

    Watchmen

    in Movies

    I just finished the book, and saw the movie two days later. As soon as I saw the adventurers' hand-stitched costumes I knew this was going to be a film about 'real people' (ok, real make-believe costumed wannabe-superheroes, but you know what I mean)... the different decades were represented with an excellent feeling for the times, and most of the film just reeked of the 80s, even down to the cinematography. I was particularly struck by how similar-looking the characters in the film were to those in the book - it was quite uncanny. Dark, only as unnecessarily violent as the characters themselves, and morally ambiguous to its core, the film provoked a debate about morality that lasted for hours afterwards. Certain fairly important things were left out of the film though, necessitating the change of ending, and for me this had the effect of lessening the impact and authority of what I felt the book was trying to say about people. Great film, I'm not often moved to write reviews but this one is worth it IMHO.

    Goa / Psychedelic Trance history and development

    This is an oooold definition form the previous Psynews website:

    http://web.archive.org/web/20041230103917/...ww.psynews.org/

    Oh and strange, it can be found elsewhere on the web:

    http://www.michaelturecki.de/goa.html

    Even stranger, I wrote part of it, and have never been properly credited.

    "Life is everywhere we look, from worms in the soil beneath our feet to tiny plants in the purest spring water, in the air we breathe. Where there is life there is evolution; it's a part of the deal. Evolution affects not only the physical forms life takes but also its behaviour, and homo sapiens has certainly developed some remarkably complex cultures and societies over the millenia. " - this is just a small part of the intro text I wrote for the Dance Trance and Magic Plants compilation back in about 1996.

    Hey Colin

     

    Converting B-side is pretty trippy staf, Some shit here and there on Trance side as well.

     

    Im the supervisor - Muse Break and Bombat - top shit

     

    .... and Heavy Weight

     

    That will give you about 60 minutes of fun.

     

    It's not much, but enought.

    Cool man, there's good stuff on all the Infected albums I've heard. I was using that album as an example though, not in any particular "I think this specific album is crap" way; it could have been anything.

    How to get the "tight" sound?

    interesting idea but how much will it cost?

    You can send me the track, I'll master it and send you a 3 - 4 minute clip; that should be enough for you to tell. If you like it and want the whole thing it'll cost €30 (I normally charge €50 for a single track). This is a special Psynews deal, limited offer as I'm pretty busy with mastering right now.

    if you dont like it dont listen to it...

    How are we supposed to know if we like something or not unless we listen to it?

    if you dont like new tracks why this criticism?

    <plays Converting Vegetarians album from start to finish>

    "Oh man, I didn't like that."

    <plays Converting Vegetarians album from start to finish>

    "Arrgh noooo that's horrible!"

    <plays Converting Vegetarians album from start to finish>

    "AAAARGGH I HATE THIS ALBUM!"

    <plays Converting Vegetarians album from start to finish>

    "RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!11!!!!11eleventyone!!" [kills self]

     

    Yup, that's how I listen to things. Not.

     

    No need to take things so personally just because someone disagrees with you.
