You'll do best at the smaller festivals on the continent. It can be a bit of a logistic nightmare covering the distances once summer kicks off but I'm sure you're used to that in the States. Hope to see you there in 2009 :)

Can't wait to be there!

Long distance travel is the norm here, i've driven over 4000 total miles in a summer so no worries there.

Perhaps we could have a bl meetup this next summer, I'll prepare some incredible food for you folks.
 
^Yes, me likes. Nice melody there, I like the bassline that kinda counters the melodic melody ;) I must say though- whats with the guitar? He just whips it out starts playing and nothing really changes?? Or at least the guitar lead doen't....But cool video, I lke the blackouts accompnayng the last breakdown, sorta with whatever filtereing he's doing with the kick and bass. Looks cool- you should use that shudder technique when the music gets heavy (you now, the picture gets all shakey as if the pound of the music is disturbing it)....Nicely done Dalfir :)
 
Yeah, I pulled out guitar shots from his whole set and pieced them together for a bit of a visual climax. Doesn't really go that well with the track though. :P
 
^It just shocked me- I thought he was like the flash or something- the thing just appeared. Neat. Not a bad tune, I had a listen to Kowloon again- which I think is heaps better. HOWEVER- I wish he would do a more melodic bassline (folling the guitar melody ala 1200 mics) after the secdon breakdown, when the guys singing. But the little acciddy scratchy squelches that play fduring the guitar; I don't know, I juts love how they sound. It got me back behid my computer and stuff again, and a nice breif pattern was made.

Good news for me: the psytrance bug is back, and I caan feel my creative juices flowing. However, I am really leaning towards a more progressive type of prodution; something emotional, either nostalgic, sad or dark, slow drums huge bottom end, lots clicky percussion and eerie sounds and stuff. I have an example I shall chuch up.

Haha, dalfir- I'm on zolpidem :D This stuffs damn weird eh? :)
 
It's the craziest shit on the planet. Really is. I typically have no sense of time or place when I'm on it. Do the pictures in your room also start moving? Movie posters and zolpidem are the best, it's like a little animated loop.

Proggy afternoon beats, LSD and outdoor sprinkler systems on a hot day. Ooooh. Nothing better than talking to a new friend on the dancefloor as a rush of white noise slowly rises to a crescendo, giving you enough time to finish your sentence, before the boogie is back.

Ahh, this reminds me of so many occasions at various Psytrance Partys ;) I recently had the chance too experience been under a water dome sprinkler system while on LSD.. dancing away too beats. Unreal.. %)
 
Holy crap!

The new Vibrasphere album is the bee knee's, man! Grab it, "lungs of Life". I seriously think this is by far the best progressive psy release of the year (though as with past albums it hits downtempo, ambient, etc).

The track "follow me" has that sort of computer warped gasping, soft, female orgasmic sound that a couple tracks on the last album had, but its processed so that its sort of mechanical and layers into the sound perfectly. Its an awesome track.

The rest of the album is great, the whole thing. 2 thumbs up.

Soon to embark on a 4 day NYE adventure. Mindcore, Phatmatix, Damage, Principles Of Flight, Digital Talk and other international acts all on one line up. IMO, the sickest line up this country's ever seen.

I just found this to be more mainstream trance with slight hints of psychedelia, far from "progressive psy" in my mind, as there is very little that is any more psychedelic than trance artists who are not a part of the scene. Personally I found this album to be bland, unengaging, and cheesy but not a pleasurable way.

just my opinion.

that said, I though exploring the tributaries was pretty good. plus this album totally misses the rolling beautiful basslines of their previous work.

but that said I listen to, when it comes to psytrance, very little melodic psy or fullon sticking mostly to the higher bpm "darker" stuff. The slower psy I do like is artists like Krumelur, Sensient, Autonomech, Kino Oko etc etc. Artists that utilize melody without using more traditional "rave anthem" cliches.
 
New Vibrasphere is good, but not amazing. The best tracks are the remixes, which is never a good sign.

Anyone heard Talpa - When the somberness becomes a game?
Daft title, music sounds a bit suomi "fairy tale nightmare" style, but I'm enjoying it thus far, a bit different to the norm.

Tis a beautiful album; you've inspired me to put it on again. I think I liked Exploring The Tributraies a bt more, though I think Lungs of Life, Exploring and Archipelago are almost a series of albums, if that makes sense. Top stuff....:)
 
Suffered a hard drive death today :( All my tracks and projects are gone, save for MP3 versions I've had online.

It's a bleak day.
