Sideffect...

off course I do , to bad the limo is broken, pfffff, it'll be the jaguar again

all of them, I should have them, somewhere lying around... maybe the filteria one not, that's it...

same over here, as a general trance lover I can enjoy this album just like I enjoy a good nithzo track 1 time in the month in a certain mood...

still alive and healthy I'm hoping to get to heron, just heard my driver can't make it, so it's up to the gods

I was thinking the same thing, new to psytrance, he wants it fast and loud, try fullon and melodic uptemo progressive like neelix... the newest gaudium, yotopia, etic, maybe skulptor...

it's very obvious I guess , the man's got a point, the psyshop, I don't read, don't like it, but IT IS THERE !

are you serious ? heron hadn't the line up it had 3 years ago so come one, you are a fool thinking they just come for drugs, there are better places to take drugs then a goa party crowded with people, we do have something like "clubs", "dancings" other parties, ever heard of that.... in 2000 there were maybe one live act in a 3 day festival, ok senseblender really rocked but that was it, AND an exception, dance a delic you had to pay also 25 euro's, and no way they offered what heron offered right now, pffffffffffft ah man I have the feeling there's no way having a discussion with you NEVER, If I see you discussion with others, you just can't let it go... you're right lemmiwinks, keep op spinning in your own world but I still respect you perspective, to bad for you men... maybe you don't have entrance to the offer ? lot's of goaparties don't appear on the internet anymore, the big ones yeah, but the small ones don't, maybe that's why ? @ long ripps nice post, well said, there's enough offer in Belgium, for such a small country... long time no seen btw, how are doing ? respect (I tried ), koen

http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=52678 here ya go

this is an international forum, English please

that was my same reaction, read my review you'll notice probably some idiot posted that, well I don't follow psynews every day so

+1 from Belgium too, @ Lemmiwinks, I don't agree, there is heron for 25 euro, 3 stages, what about that ? although goa is highly present in Belgium I don't have the feeling our scene is contaminated by the profit-making virus as you describe it... we have great artists and line ups booked every year... We are very lucky like jos says imo ,how psychedelic trance is evolving in Belgium, the parties are still what you make of it, ok we have some problems with the cops, but Belgium is so sophisticated considering the law, it's not possible to stop a subculture... although they try... and the fact we live in small country with a high population density, indeed the neighbours can be a problem, what is normal, but still we don't have to complain, take rhakti dei for example, 3 days goa in a neighbourhood open air, lot's of people living actual 300 meters from the festival... don't know but that seems very tolerant to me... who are you to judge, 80% of the people maybe actual like goa @ a party but don't like listening at it @ home, I have a lot of friends let's >90% where's that the case, and you can take drugs everywhere, there are plenty of drugscénes, don't think if you don't like goa you only go to take drugs, I couldn't stand it for a minute... I get your point don't get me wrong, but your vision is as usual to black/white tinted, seek for the grey zone my friend

wasn't it said that this track was not from the original shakta, first-two pages of this topic ?

but it's not shakta ? I heard so many different things, better ask jos himself... it's sounds shakta to me, the kick...

it's good, the ideas are well done, but again like the hyperion album I have the same problem the mastering is very bad... it doesn't fit like it should be, to bad so much great talented get's wasted because of bad mastering, killer instinct is indeed a stronger track and creates the contrast that it's better when you listen through the album because I'm used to the bad mastering from the previous tracks, but it's still the same compared to others, hopefully their next album will be better done, they sure know how to create some interesting fullon

I keep adoring this album from time to time, I dig this downtempo style huge, just love it over and over thanx

lord of the dance en mr fantastic :clapping:

at least it has a story

+1 one of the best releases that year...

I'll let you know good luck

I don't like it that much the new chi-ad, it's chi-ad style like in 1997, the more typical acid patterns, but there's something missing, the dreamy/story telling concept isn't there, don't know, maybe I'll change my mind...

ominus, long time ago, playing it right now, to much goa to have one favorite album, impossible

you want melodic but not cheesy, very hard to find these days... but then again I experience bubble as cheesy... well head's up, let's give a try The Misted Muppets - from the legend panick - lab o matic (maybe) all yahel is cheesy btw, it's his trademark, but I like it, the older stuff... euhm... try the artist LOUD, principles of flight... some old skool UX, space cat (1999)...

http://www.boomfestival.org Concept Boom 2008 “Boom sees itself as amplifier and a converter of concepts and we take that responsibility dearly in every single step we plan. Within this vast “ocean” of consciousness Boom is a lighthouse of sanity, ethic responsibility and a building block for the future to come. A reminder for our personalities to check point the “real” meaning in-between our illusionary perception. Boom is a new kind of tribal gathering where varied tribes can melt with nature in a sensitive and sustainable way. For quite a few years we have been making efforts to show that and make it happen. This is our acupuncture point into the future matrix. The Boom journey has been quite a long journey. More than 10 years of real evolution on a personal, grupal and collective conscious areas. We have gone through all kinds of sectors of the so called life “drama” – from love to joy, from pain to death and birth. It is a continued experience, gathering knowledge and trying to somehow represent it outwards so that you might be able to tune into this knowledge. Boom tries to do that through art and love. Two of the best gateways that mankind has to broaden its access to its deeper feelings. Art as an unblocker and love as a locker of present reality or lets say as a tuner of collective consciousness…a tap in and a link on! We have achieved this through a very delicate mix between the full on opening and exploration of the 5 senses and the absolution of the all 5 senses. These moments create gaps or doors of perception. Expanding and bringing humans into some unconventional areas of understanding. We envision the future of Boom as a continued and sustainable event, an event that not only exists in the date of its subsistence but an event that keeps on in our conscious planes throughout all the future moon cycles. It is our intention to keep it growing in all directions and to keep joining in many different tribes. Have fun, enjoy, open your perception channels and enter. We Are One…” Music - Dancefloor - Lineup “If people can dance together they can live together” Mel Cherren “I believe that if you put your ego in front of the music, then the people trying to listen to the music can’t hear it, they just listen to your ego” ‘Mad’ Mike Banks (Underground Resistance) Music-wise Boom is an underground festival. Since 1997 the major concern has been to clash unknown artists with popular names. We don’t like to do line ups based on a small groups of artists that travel all around the world. Instead at Boom the main concern has been to show other artists, different ideas and more sub-genres. We know that if we’d put a few more popular names it would be easier commercially. But we wouldn’t be doing our best to enrich the music culture of psy-trance and to widen its horizons. The 2008 edition line up is not based on a monoculture perspective. It’s based on a strong conviction that we must show the underground side of psy-trance as opposed to the dominant culture of the trance scene nowadays of big names in big line ups (repeating the mistakes that all other dance music genres made years ago, reducing the choices of the audience and emphasizing quantity as opposed of quality). Our concept is to show the underground and to create a dance floor where all sub-genres of psy-trance are represented. Some people will like it and some others won’t. However one thing is for sure: if you want to get in touch with the diversity that is still around you’ll have the dance floor. Be open-minded, from full-on psy-trance, dark, progressive to experimental, tribal and acoustic trance, techy or suomi, neo-goa trance and classic psy-trance: all tribes are represented. No monoculture, just diversity. Be open-minded in a dancefloor powered by a Funktion One sound system! >> DJ's * * * Back to Mars (Cytopia Records – BR/Hol.) DJ Anneli (Phantasm Records – Swe.)

Let’s connect with nature through the fascinating soundscapes of ambient music enhanced by organic design and care, a meltdown of visuals, comfort, art, enlightenment, laughs, relaxation and a touch of magic. Musicians and DJ's of the world will synergistically join their collective visions at the music auditorium and create resonating vibrations throughout Boom 2008. We wish to thank all the people that support, enjoy and understand the concept of the Ambient Forest at Boom, the last refuge of ambient music and it’s way to be. This is the most amazing adventure of our ambient lives and we would love to share it with each one of you. Stay tuned to this site for updates. Music - Groovy Beach - Lineup Synthesizing new music, melting pot imaginary and a detached mind, Boom strikes with a new music area. And no, it’s not alternative; it’s a major music floor! Music is changing every second fuelled by the digital factor, be it the Internet, the DVJ, the MP3, or the digital DJing. Tastes and genres are moving towards syncretism, never in the history of mankind so much music has been produced, released and listened to by so many people. Capturing the current trajectory of music, Boom has a new music area. The spirit is one of crossover. In Groovy Beach music styles are showcased as a mirror of present trends in the music scene with a particular forward thinking ethos. There’s plenty of room for experimentation and fun, an attitude of feeding the music scene by clashing sounds and influences in the same place. From 3pm to 8pm there’s funk, reggae, dub and funky-mash up-beats. At 8pm dubstep will rule the place with a massive bass music and dense melodies. Breakbeat will get in full swing at midnight with some of the coolest artists around. At 2am breaks will turn into other beats. From this time straight to the morning you can listen to deep techno, minimal, tech-house, deep house, neo-trance, and fresh and innovative four-to-the-floor music by talented DJs and live acts. The Groovy Beach is a freestyle place and a playfully inventive music zone. As we love. >> DJ's * * * Alex Tolstei (Russia) Alquimix (Brazil) Anti (Sweden) Bad Boe (Denmark ) Bart Cruz (Portugal) Basement Freaks (Greece ) Das Nevez (Portugal) Dinis (Portugal) DJ Ride (Portugal) DJ Slim (UK) Duvar (Germany) Expander (Portugal) General MIDI(UK) Giulianno (Brazil) Henry Saiz (Spain) Hyper (UK) Johnny (Portugal) Kaesar (Portugal) Kasey Taylor (Australia) Loop Digga (Portugal) Matt Black (UK) Mike Stellar (Portugal) Mr. Cheeks (Portugal) Myagi (Canada) Nelson Flip (Portugal) Nuno Forte (Portugal) Parker (UK) Patrick Zigon (Germany) Pedro Seph (Portugal) Pena (Portugal) Satta B (UK) Scuba (UK) SpaceBoys SS (Portugal) Stereo Addiction (Portugal) Tes La Rok (Finland) Tom Real (UK) Tuffist (USA) Unidade Sonora (Portugal) Wash (Brazil) Yohel (Belgium) Zamali (Belgium) * >> Live Acts * * * Billy d’Allessandro (USA) Boxcutter (Ireland) Click Box (Brazil) Deestant Rockers (Portugal) Exercise One (Germany) Extrawelt (Germany) Far Too Loud (UK) GothTrad (Japan) Internal Sync (Portugal) JazzStepPaz (UK) Kanio (UK) Loopus in Fabula (Italy) Lunar Sounds (Mexico) Marc Antona (France) Monkey Steak (UK) Mr. Gasparov (Portugal) Octapush (Portugal) Paul Ritch (France) Portable (South Africa) Rocky Marsiano (Portugal) Straightflash (Brazil) Zentex (Finland) * Music - Sacred Fire Ancestral cultures and an organic environment around the fire: yes, that’s Boom’s hot spot of 2006 edition, the Sacred Fire. The Saami people have a unique musical tradition where each person has their own special song or ‘joik’. This becomes a personal acoustic symbol. Parents can give a ‘joik’ to their children, or lovers can give a ‘joik’ to each other as a gift. The Sacred Fire music stage is about the place of music and nature in people’s perception. Gardens are built in, live music is performed, and an intimate environment is created with performances and an ever-present organic edge. On the top of one hill, this stage for concerts will feature world music, ancestral music meets modern production, pieced together with a specially designed natural environment so that each one of Boom goers can perceive their personal ‘joik’.
