  1. Well hello! :) Pretty good, and you?

     

    I was looking for some new/interesting releases and remembered Psynews. The review section here has always been full of great reviews. And since I'm here, I'll also check the General Psytrance and Other electronica. If I remember correctly there used to be a Downtempo section? or did I mix something up ...

  2. Hey guys,

     

    I didn't really pay attention to what's happening in the ambient genre for the past year. Recently, I tried looking for some new stuff. Well, my usual way of going to Saikosounds and checking out the downtempo section didn't work. It turns out, there is no more saikosounds. That sucks big time, that was my favorite shop for downtempo and the long samples were great.

     

    My question: what are some nice releases from this year (or if there's something really great from 2012 :D)? And also.. where do you look for ambient releases now and where do you order from?

     

    From this year, I only have Boards of Canada's album.. and thats it :o

     

     

    Thanks!

  3. When I first heard this guy in Younger Brother's Vaccine, I thought that this horrendous display of vocals was a single, specific occurrence, and that I'll never have to hear this guy's voice again.

     

    And then came Ott's Mir (which is a masterpiece, in my opinion), and to my horror it included the track "Adrift in Hilbert Space" with this guy (or, *shudder*, someone who heard Vaccine and thought to himself - "Gosh darn it, that's a good vocal style - I should try and reproduce it") in the part between 01:05 to 01:55. I just can't listen to it, it reminds me of Vaccine way too much.

     

     

    I really hope this guy is not "The New Michelle Adamson"..

     

    Well he's hardly pronouncing any words - might as well be an instrument :)

    As far as the comparison with YB, I find it completely different. It might sound similar, but the role it plays in the song is different. Like I said, I hear the voice in Ott's songs more like an instrument,while YB's songs just center around Ruu's voice and the Lyrics.

     

    For me: Ott - yes, YB - no/kinda

  4. Wow, a psynews radio :o ;)Great idea!

     

    edit: ok, this is what I also wanted to add. If the psynews radio ever get's it's own website (with track titles, links to reviews, etc ...), it would be great to have the option of users adding tracks to the queue. You know, like with the demoscene radios :)

  5. Stolen of an isratrance thread;

    1st Vuuv.

    11mins when Sundown is playing and everyone is stomping, is a brilliant moment.

    Its 20 years ago but it feels like some future world I'd like to live in.

     

    The music is diverse, psychedelic, early goa, or just plain techno/trance as quite a few called it back then...anyway the name is not the case, the case is that it was music that was "raw", and had people trippin' their socks off.

    Then look at the people dancing, their clothes and dance moves point out to people from random backgrounds, yet they brilliantly stomp the ground in unison.

    The deco, location, nothing fancy, but I'd be damned if I didn't think its a crater in Mars, with a few humanoids from the sparse colonies, celebrating the cosmos, or whatever...complaining about people playing 320kbps mp3? I think that's Antaro playing cassetes! No one seems to mind.

     

    People knew how to party 20 years ago, that for sure...I wish there was a party like that I could go to this summer.

     

    Peace out.

     

    I love those videos. Amazing - the people, the music. And the decos: simple and effective.

    I've been watching these videos for the past week and trying to find as much music from them as possible. It's exactly like you said: raw. And reakin great! :D
