Cinos

Hallucinogen - Trancespotter... When the hacked-up voice starts for the second time... then the hihats come in... pure bliss... and then BAM! The twisted melody is just too great. I always start twitching when I hear it, even if I'm on a bus, listening to it on headphones.

I haven't even heard the first Dub Trees CD. Is it any good?

I can't see what is so wrong with that. If no-one critizised stuff, nothing would change for better or worse. To know IF others like the artists and if so, why they do. No. a) Every good artist has to be able to accept negative feedback, as long as it is constructive. b.) The Infinity Project's "success" really wasn't that big. (or was it? I'm not that well informed) c) I doubt any of them are here to read this.

I CAN'T match Mystical. Oh well. But it's still a bit overrated if you ask me. (although it has grown on me a little)

I could certainly match the weirdness. Possibly not the professional production, as my equipment is shit. I will try to, that's for sure. However, I've only made ordinary trance and some attempts at psytrance up to now. So give me time. I could, however, give you a short sample of some of my psytrance or chilled uptempo trance later. Then again I'm afraid of being slaughetered completely after suggesting I could match Mystical.

Filled, although I left some fields blank (like in 5 beliefs I listed less than 5)

But what's so specific about that singing that only tibetan monks can do it? It can't be so hard to do... I'd try, but everybody would think I'm crazy. In programming class right now.

You were too un-specific.

Graham isn't on Shpongle though.

I always thought it was just a synth.

Yes, but old things do not have to sound old. I think the second comment means there is very little percussion and variation. Though first, Infinity Project can't beat Shpongle.

I'm serious. I haven't made psy-ambient yet but I just might try after I finish my newest, cool yet monotonous psytrance. I'll be sure to hook you up with samples. I make my music with tools that cost approximately 50 bucks, BTW... I'm so poor. Because of this most of my stuff sounds amateurish.

I don't have any problem with the oldness in itself, I sentenced it wrong. The thing is it doesn't have the quality it would have if made today. No, that's not right either. I'll just say it sounds too simple, and it would be more complex and quality-filled if made today. Not really that either. Damnit.

He didn't say Weird was a masterpiece. Or did he? Anyway, I like plenty of really old music, but this just is a bit too simple.

What Shpongle track are you talking about?

I try so hard to get into it. But it seriously think I could produce music of the same quality. Not so with Shpongle. The "mystic" aspect Shpongle and MOTY have wasn't IMHO present on this album yet. And what do I mean with old? Exactly that, old. Not all old music sounds that way. Take Mystery Of The Yeti. It's still ahead of it's time.

7)BEAUTIFUL track? Astral Projection - Liquid Sum

Personally, I have to say they're a bit overrated. Neither Weird or Mystical are THAT good. Both sound rather old and unengaging (at least right now).

And what about me then? It doesn't matter. As long as I have the music and have paid for it, I feel complete. I'm like you, just a bit less so, as I really like buying all possible CDs and completing my collection, but the release date doesn't matter the least.

I was thinking, do any of you collect CDs only for the "rare" value, or is it only about having the music on CD? Are re-release worth less to you?

It WILL be different, just as Tales was different from Shpongled. But Simon very seldom does outright bad music, so it's safe to hope for the best. Anyway, the album won't be out this year, so if it's bad, the next year is cursed as well. I wonder if it's be delayed as all albums tend to.

Downloading is bad.

Infinity Project. Their Mystical experiences is a bit TOO old, as is Feeling Weird. I can still listen to both, but I much rather replace them with Astral, Shpongle, Hallucinogen and even 1200 mics...

Who doesn't like driving to music? It's dangerous though, and everytime I do this and have to stop because of some slowpoke, my road-rage-o-meter shoots through the roof.

I've always been wondering why this album is much more psy than any of his other albums.
