Geez man, I am not from London, and in no way am I bringing your taste in question, but you must be very unpopular over there. Don't know what Danny Rampling has to do with anything, but...Can't really think of an album off the top of me head, but Lochi - London Acid City.. used to hate it in 1996 because Rampling played it every week for about 6 or 7 weeks on Radio 1 and all I wanted to hear was the Goa / Psy stuff not acid. However, I would now call it one of me fav acid trance tunes ever.
"London Acid City! London Acid City! London Acid City! Our Time Is Now!"
As far as albums go, for me it's Process - One Drop Or Two. There was a time when I was naive enough to think how a lack of proper, obvious melodic structures in psy trance implied a lack of talent, laziness if you will. Damn, was I wrong...

Hi all. I'll most be probably pulling a four month shift in Strasbourg, France starting October 1st.
I have never ever been there in my life.
If in any way possible, I would gladly appreciate virtually any information regarding the club scene, eventual music shops, cool bars, etc.
Basically, anything one cannot find in tourist guides. I have skimmed through those, and am quite acquainted with the city's cultural heritage, which I will be more than glad to visit and get familiar with.
However, once the sun goes down, I need at least a clue as to where I could go and murder a few hours...
Thanks a bunch, if anyone is familiar with anything

N, you got it all wrong...If you need to continue commenting negatively about a legendary psytrance/goatrance project you only have spite left for, and their upcoming (whether or not they're going to be released, we'll see) releases, then maybe, just maybe you should ask yourself if it is not time to leave this thread.
Seriously man, there's a lot of elitist, snobby behaviour, and generally negative "vibration" in a lot of your posts in this forum. Makes me wonder why you even come here...
Using a government letter and street protests as an excuse for a ten year delay is an equivalent of comfortably chewing on a fat phallus. Yummy Yummy.
It's not called negative vibration. In English, usually we don't go past the term acute anal penetration.
If someone tries to fool you for a horse once, tell them to fuck off.
If anyone, and I do mean anyone tries to convince you you're a horse for a second time, tell them to fuck off.
Now, if it should happen, though chances are very slim someone would want to perforate your anus for the third time, then I suggest you go buy a leather saddle.
Really now, ASStral Projection have taken out the vaseline so many times already, that I don't possibly see how come the lot of you don't have third degree burns around your rectum by this day and age...?
-
Oh shit. I was not aware of their delicate socio political status. So wait, the fact they are involved in the protests now is a justification for a ten year wait. Right...Well, at the moment they're deeply involved in the protests in Israel. They even were present on the government's website and more recently even got a letter from the government, and that is very important to them.
What's next? A three year military service for the israeli army? You know I got a letter from the government as well. They threatened to court martial me because I refused to assemble rifles, peel potatoes and carry 30kg sand bags on my back up the hill. That letter was very important to me.
So, the next time I get out there on the streets, I can just call my boss up and say that my political engagement will prevent me from attending work - for the next three years.
Yawn my man, a very fucking large yawn. At best.

Even though it's heads to toe classic packed, this mix is so much more than a gorgeous trip down old school memory lane.
The mixing, just like in the Moonshadow set, is impeccable. The mood is just right, the flow is well centered and surprisingly coherent for a completely improvised performance. I mean, the tracks are actually properly mixed, not just faded in & out of each other - a phenomenon one can often hear when exposed to these classic mixes. This, however, is a pleasure to listen to. Technically refined and musically virtuous, if that is the appropriate term here
Once again, I am stunned. I have downloaded both this, and the Moonshadow mix in FLAC, and continue to play them both frequently. Each of them is a perfect example of two separate facets of psychedelic trance. And I do mean perfect when I say it.
Way to go man. Bravo!

Their 2 hour performance at the chill stage during this year's O.Z.O.R.A. Festival sunk the Titanic and spontaneously ignited the combustion of the Eiffel Tower - I cannot wait to hear more of that stuff.
Who could have thought that a project associated with a sound as aggressive as Derango's is capable of delivering the goods from the opposite pole, or wherever?
I'd like some info about their eventual, possible chill out album as well...

Tripping over your partner's dick, breaking your fingers and biting through your tongue when you land.I've never been part of an album release but what sort of things can delay the release this long?
It's called 300% proof impotence.

Here are my top ten favorite techno tracks, in no specific order:
Inigo Kennedy - Preliminary Statements
-
So true, heard it dropped by Simon Posford and Raja Ram during their four set at this year's O.Z.O.R.A.
I myself have completely forgotten how utterly amazing this track really is. Although this isn't usually my thing, I thoroughly enjoy some early tracks like Stella, Visions' Of Shiva's Perfect Day, What Time Is Love and Metal Master's Spectrum.
I think Yerba Del Diablo is easily every bit as good and crucial as those.
-
Damn man, the man behind On Red still lives, then... Kiss both his cheeks twice when you see him. Never knew he was into design, etc. though...OK and now for something almost completely different.
If you check out this url http://d-dave.bandcamp.com/releases you will find a FULL-LENGTH album by yours truly, downloadable for only 5€! This is a Schlab013 release and only available digitally on Bandcamp. These are tracks that I have written and produced by myself during the last 10 years, most are produced around the year 2000, but one is brand new, Bodydub, made this summer. It's not BotFB-style, it's more raw, more industrial, almost techno-ish, yet with melodies but produced "wrong". The cover is a drawing made by Fredrik from Subcouds, and is supposed to be a map of my brain.
It's very nice.
Hell, I though I'd never hear as much of the BOTFB stuff again as I'd want to... I gotta get with the program soon, and win one of those T-shirt contests! Industrial... Techno... With melodies... Yummy, very yummalicious indeed! Can't wait to hear it all!Do it! It would be nice to be able to offer something more than just a file, but Schlab artwork ain't that much anyway.
I guess I should print those T-shirts again and offer to the people who download the most.

I was there, again, had a B L A S T of a life time, again, but 60,000...??? That has got to be far fetched even for the greatest optimist out there, including me.
What I know is that they usually make 25,000 of those bracelets you get around your wrist at the entrance. At a certain point, they ran out of the sky blue ones they had for 2011, so they had to send someone to grab the remaining 2010 bracelets...
I'd say there more people than last year, but I'd be extremely surprised if I was given some proof about the 60,000. Really surprised indeed.
P.S.: the MWNN performance was good, albeit exactly the same as on any of the past O.Z.O.R.A.'s I've been to. Great, positive vibes and melodies through and through, but the really outer worldly performances came from Filteria and James Monro. Speaking of which, what a fucking set. What a track selection. What a crate digger. The guy played old school goa trance for two hours, starting with Etnica's Astral Way, and then making way for over a dozen completely obscure, unknown, vintage old school classics mixed flawlessly. WOW!!! Ending the set with We Created Our Own Happiness, he really dropped it like only someone who has been around since forever can. No obvious classics. No anthems. No "big" names. Just the stuff you don't want to hear, but you damn need to hear.
What about Green Nuns Of The Revolution? My cerebrum melted twice before their performance was up! Dear lord, the guys are off the chain and breaking the Mona Lisa frame!!!
-
I've been playing this on repeat since the Raja Ram/Simon Posford, Green Nuns Of The Revolution, X-Dream and James Monro retrodelic performances @ this year's O.Z.O.R.A.
My style is deviant sex and gratuitous violence, vocabulary and science - yes, an uneasy alliance.
This compilation is sicker than sperm cells with syphilis germs, with the tracks being hotter than my dick is when I piss and it burns!
All you really need is music this good to give you wet dreams, and you can get your rocks off like erosion in streams.
"First Flight" is a hard drive, the remainder out there is merely a floppy disk.
Further analysis would make the hair on the back of my neck grow, interrupt the music's flow, and make less sense than a dyke using a dildo.
So raw and in your grill you will need a peg leg with a kickstand to walk about afterwards.
Flying Rhino in retrospective full effect is something you have never seen before, like your grandparents at it behind closed doors.

The condition of all three items is perfect. No visible signs of use, tears, damages or anything similar. The "Movements" digipak might show slight shelf wear, but if you blow the dust off, it'll all be gone.
I will consider all reasonable offers, particularly monetary. I am in no rush to sell these, but have a tempting deal elsewhere, and could use the extra cash, so these are looking for a new home now.
Contact me via PM! YaY!

Sounds good
Could be fun with a gathering, well failed last year but who knows, it might be possible this time?! I also went with no phone or anything, I guess that complicated matters a bit!
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet mate, it seems like we missed each other again. Seriously, if we are to ever go there in the future, we should most definitely post a huge notice up on the message board or something: "Meet me in front of this board tomorrow at high noon. If you miss out on the gathering we gun you down from behind. End of story."I just made a fast overview of the time table (as it were July 20th) in excel http://dl.dropbox.co...%20overview.xls

All I'm gonna contribute to this thread is:
Stay Up Forever, Smitten, WahWah, C.O.S.H.H.(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), Routemaster...
Those guys are awesome, and I would be really disappointed if Mr. Cullen really jumped on that bandwagon, 'cause the three times I've heard him in Zagreb, he was YIKES!
Fave's are, in no order:
Dynamo City's Shape Shift, DDR & The Geezer's Mad Cows On Acid, Chris Liberator's Cat's Eye(!!!!!!!!!), The entire One Night In Hackney release, Geezer's The Long And Short Of It, Chris Liberator's & DDR's 303 Power, Shaft Punk's Squat Rock, Magnum Force Unlucky Punk, Ant's That Shit (Cyber Steve + Acid Ted's This Shitty Mix).
There are a load of others, but the ones I've listed - you could feed 'em to me any time and I'd go ape shit.
Not only that, but Dave's Hydraulix is a vintage techno label, packed with insane prime time cuts! The guy knows no limits (or so I hope)

It's funny how perceptions differ...I think IDM still holds well! Even though it got pretty big (eg Autechre , Squarepusher, Boards Of Canada etc have millions of fans worlwide) its still top quality!
I always thought how dub techno and IDM, two (sub)genres more popular now than ever, are just (don't take my too literary) rehashing the ideas displayed, portrayed and fully exploited during the nineties.
As cool as it is, I haven't heard anyone move beyond the rules Basic Channel set in 1994. Sure, there is great music, but the stagnation makes me want to spend my money elsewhere.
Maybe IDM fares a little better, but that is mainly thanks to certain users on this very forum who made me take notice of Sending Orbs. I was already getting tired, a fairly long time ago too, of everything 'intelligent' needing to sound so anti-club you couldn't miss it. Hell, if 4/4 makes you lose it, then at a certain point, everyone doing stuff for the living rooms were lost in utterly formulaic and predictable break beats, occasionally fractured rhythms, lush pads and melodies Carl Craig and Kenny Larking pulled of better, but you could actually move to them.
Don't know though, but Boards Of Canada and Autechre are acts I do not really fancy. I love the Amo Bishop Roden track though; beautiful touching music, yet never over the top with the instruments, synths and all.
Sending Orbs really, if only for a moment, got my attention. Everything about that label scream quality, hard work and beauty... Pity the releases are a crusade to find.

Both junodownload and beatport have this album, but it seems to be the standard Boom! version. Buying through itunes is a major pain in the ass if you are from Croatia...
I would like to hear the re-master though, it was one of the more interesting, imaginative albums the genre had to offer in the nineties.
The Voodoo Man track is epochal.
-
On a more serious note, I didn't know this. Useful and interesting insider info...By talking to them. I've known the guys for years and Lior told me he did not like what they did anymore. In fact he is a lot more involved in producing bands (non trance) these days.
Personally, I could never do something I did not believe in, like, whatever.
Hell man, I worked 15 hour shifts on construction sites just because I could snatch some cement, drills, nails, copper - you name it - and use it all at home, but I could never do something I did not want to do because... The fuck do I know.
So sad, to remember the expressions on people's faces whenever the name Astral Projection popped up. Who in the world would have thought we'd end up making jokes about them...
Aging is a bitch with wrinkled tits and dry nipples. Sigh...
-
You gotta lurrrrrrv the thug life, man!When knowing that they do not even like their own music anymore but keep making it to maintain their gigs and status then people have all the right to think it's all ridiculous balagan.Astral used to make great music. Today they are only a shadow of what they used to be. The reason why they are still getting gigs is because of their old music. NOT the new music!
PS! I can't stand their "Star" attitude on photos etc. Dark sunglasses, hip-hop signs with the hands etc... It's all gone pop.
Spanking coochies, busting caps in homies domes, sipping gin & juice throughout Compton...
How could anyone hate Astral Projection? Fuck me, they have more stree credibility than 2Pac's marble tomb stone. The guys are as bent as the Soviet sickle and as hard as the hammer that crosses it.
You sucker player hataz. I'ma blast all of you, making you win wet T-shirt contests!

Everything gone.
I am too lazy to write it down at the moment, but if anyone is interested, I have a fairly large chunk of '90s techno vinyl looking for a new home.
You know, the stuff we partied out to throughout the nineties; Liebing, Carola, Beyer, Stoll, Luke Slater, Oxia, Hardcell, etc.
If anyone has a slight interest in that stuff, drop me a word or two and I'll give you more information on what I've got.
Everything is in tip top condition. Not a single vinyl is more than 3-4 euro. Discount on multiple item purchase etc.
-
Cool to hear that. It's kind of rare that the fans and the producers consider the same album, 12", track a master stroke, a chef d'oeuvre, whatever.Thanks Yodhe for making the video, and thanks everyone for your kind words
To this day, that track is a career high for me, and I am humbled by the affection with which it's remembered here.er
fries with that?
Awesome track, regardless, up there with the best of them. Period.

Indeed, Petar Dundov must be the greatest croatian contribution to electronic music thus far.
Yes, his last two vinyls, and the staggering 2008 album Escapements, have caused quite a buzz in the electronic music community. Which is great, since he practically disappeared for two years, be it production wise or 'gig wise'.
What is even more impressive is that Petar started out as a trance producer (a pretty long time ago), released a few gems which are generally considered classics amongst old school trance heads, made an incredibly successful transition to techno, releasing more classics and dance floor bombs than anyone could have anticipated, culminating with the 1999 album Reaction, recorded under his Brother's Yard alias. Personally, I find the 12"s released under that pseudonym to be perhaps the most timeless and far reaching material to have ever come out of his studio.
If you want to get a glimpse of his old trance sound at its best, then definitely check out the Phenomenon EP released as Unreal and the Farr 1 & 2 EP released as Pon Farr.
Although it's kind of tough to narrow it down to a few attention worthy releases, I'd say give a shot to Evolver, Kaskades and Shiye EPs for top of the line techno released under his own name.
Brother's Yard is, in my opinion, in a league of its own... Some of the most well executed, three dimensional, mechanical, true to form dance floor techno of its era. Huge support from all the great DJs, and the live acts were out of this world...
Best thing of all is how skillfully did Petar make the transition from the sound of the 'old', and resurfaced with his hypnotic, mellow and mesmerizing aural aura he's been pursuing since the Running Man EP in 2007. His last two vinyls, Distant Shores and Tenth Plateau are in heavy rotation - globally - and have appealed to listeners from all over the musical map. Step by step, he even earned his place on psynews...
Hell, I could probably write a manual about Petar, but I'm tired of writing. Argh... must resist... stop... stop... stop...
Detroit Techno
in Other Electronica
Posted
Yeah, all of the Red Planet releases are essential. I hold that label in high esteem. My highest recommendation as far as Detroit techno goes.
If you want more mellow infused stuff outta Detroit, I would first and foremost recommend Pod's "The Vanguard EP" and Derrick May's remixes of Sueno Latino which, in my opinion, are the finest examples of true to the form Detroit techno.
The Illusion First Mix is an all time favorite, and in my book the finest Detroit techno track ever written. The vinyl copy shouldn't be that difficult to track down, and it is well worth the hunt and whatever you may be paying.
On the other hand, Pod's EP was quite a pain to get. It took me years to track down a copy, don't know about how and where it stands today... It's quite an amazing item to. Very forward thinking.
