Chris Leibing - String Theory:
String Theory is the 'Theory of Everything' and states that what we perceive as particles are actually vibrations on strings in an 11-dimension space. This theory if proven resolves the conflicts between general relativity and quantum mechanics.

Mauro Picotto - Alchemist:
A practitioner of an earlier but unscientific form of chemistry

Cygnus X:
Cygnus is a constellation in the Milky Way which contains a black hole if i recall right.
Superstring also refers to String Theory.. "Superstring Theory"

Kyoto is also a treaty that most developed countries are in to help reduce greenhouse effects

And thats because the "Kyoto" in the treaty is from the japanese city. I guess it was here it was made / thought of / whatever.

I've just read throught the entire thread, wow.. Someone needs to sort them all, there is a lot of double posting and asking about translations etc. already done.

Originally posted by zshev I always wondered what that means too! Where did I even get it from? Is it the name of a track? If I remember it's said in Tomcraft's Prozac.. think it's taken from a German movie or something. Gonna scroll through the rest of this thread to see.. I could always google it.

Prozac is a Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI), i.e. it helps people with low levels of serotonin (depressed) feel better. pretty sure it's been covered here, too.


i vote this thread the greatest ever.

Underworld - Born Slippy
The name underworld comes from a 1986 film that two of the band members scored together

quote:

The name Underworld, believe it or not, was appropriated by Karl Hyde and Rick Smith from the 1986 film adaptation of a Clive Barker book that they scored together, when they were still in a dance-pop band called Freur, whose single "Doot-Doot" was marginally popular. Underworld, despite what Hyde describes as the "fairly awful result" of the movie, seemed like and easier word to remember (and pronounce) than Freur, so they stuck with it. And that's it.

thats awesome
this thread rocks
and yeah, group names should be included, not just song names

What means Fictivision??

fictive + vision = fictivision?

Flight 643 was actually made up after tiesto experienced some turbulences on flight KL643 (Amsterdam to JFK). The track's fading during the breakdown describes the lost of control and the helplessness in such a situation. You simply can't dance anymore because of the lack of structure in that part. Suddenly, the beat sets in and everything is fine again

kamaya painters - wasteland or cryptomnesia, anybody an idea what that means???

wasteland = desert / deserted land

cryptomnesia = hidden memory (http://skepdic.com/cryptomn.html)

Maji Na Damu - B.W.Y. (on TPOD 1) ?

Sasha - Wavy Gravy ?

Komakino ?

Stephan Groth aka Apoptygma Berzerk in an interview: "I chose Berzerk because you can compare it to the Norwegian word for 'wiking'. The expression 'Apoptygma' is not made up. I once saw it in a dictionary or an encyclopedia. I can not really remember its meaning. However, it is not that important."

"Carpe Diem" is latin and means "seize the moment" or something like that.. watch the movie "Dead Poets Society" with Robin Williams to be enlightened more about it.

Da Hool is just a little playaround of Hooligan. According to Frank (Da Hool/DJ Hooligan) himself, "Eichelr�ck" as a whole doesn't really mean anything. It's just 2 random words put together just because it looked and sounded good at the time. Eichel = acorn, r�ck = back.

Originally posted by SRP-ReAlign What is the meaning of "Singularity Brainchild"? It is from "Ayla" and one of my favourite tunes.

Singularity (Brainchild II): Singularity means speciality, strangeness. Brainchild refers to the artist who originally wrote and produced the melody of the track (Brainchild - Symmetry C, by Matthias Hoffmann aka 1/2 of Cygnus X) which is so much better than Tandu's remake. Lange's Breakbeat Remix of Symmetry C is wicked!

Seize the Day, to be exact. in Latin
it's also been covered here, so i do think we need a compilation of all meanings.

Oh yes it was "day" and not "moment", well i didn't really read any latin dictionaries.. and i must've missed it because i read through the whole thread. lol

Someone saig a track called "Scorchio"
Scorchio doesn't really mean anything in Spanish so...

Chupacabras (as anybody said with PVD) seems to be an insult in Spanish, but i never really heard it
Meaning = "Goatsucker". Great...

BlAcKNoVa asked about "M�s all� del cielo", what means "More far away than heaven"

M.I.K.E - Sunrise at Palamos

It's great. I've known from this song from months ago (i'm a neophyte in trance almost).
I was astonished. Palam�s is a little city from the Costa Brava, in Catalunya (what you might know as Catalunya, remember Barcelona '92??). Not more than half an hour away from where I live and no more than 25000 people living there in winter.
It's not Ibiza, not London, not anything to do with trance! It's only a touristic place for people, who, generally, are from Spain. It's population grows up to 100.000 people in summer. Most of them are french, german, british, dutch or maybe BELGIAN. Who knows...
Here, in Catalunya trance is not a popular genre in any way, and I cannot explain why the name.

Why not to ask MIKE himself?

I've thought of some more tracks, with maybe "hidden" names.

Seven Days and One Week (BBE)
Blue Fear (AVB)
Tribute Citizen (Gouryella)
Battleship Grey (Ti�sto)
A Theme From Banginglobe (Yoji Biomehanika)
NeedleJuice (System F)

And now some more explanation:

L'Esperanza is not any latin language. Not Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese or similar. Neither Catalan (my mother tongue), it would be "L'esperan�a" and doubting Sven Vath knows my lang thought 10 million people know it.

Balearic Bill: The Balearic islands are Mallorca (ruled by the German tourists) Menorca (ruled by the English a pair of centuries ago), Formentera, Cabrera and EIVISSA!

EIVISSA is the catalan name for the island. Ibiza is obviously the Spanish name and more known, but the "original" name is it. For you guys who like to go there.

The Orange Theme from Cygnus X must be inspired from The Clockwork Orange film, ain't? This musical violence must come from somewhere...

The Alter Ego band means "The other me", that hidden part that all of us have.

More, Cafe del Mar means in English "Caf� of the sea". Obviously the name comes form the place, in the beach.

There's some song, called "El sue�o" from Datura. Meaning "The Dream", if you want i can translate the (poor) lyrics from it.

The Frank TRAX "Nebuchan" or "Nebuchanezzar is the name of the Battleship in "Matrix" And don't really ask me for the "O.R.G.A.N." remixer because, although of being from my country, i know nothing about him.

Remains the "Iguana" from Picotto (this stupid green reptile..) and some track from Miranda...

"Vamos a jugar en el sol (with some white label mix..)". PVD played it, and it was great. Explaining why..

A 10-hour party in Barcelona. No word listened in Spanish during all time but at the almost-sunrise starts..

"Vamos a jugar en el sol, todos los dias son dias de fiesta" which means exactly "Let's play in the sun, all days are holidays"

Result = 20.000 people bouncing and bouncing and bouncing. And crying. From that moment I was a neophyte to trance

P.S.: It's my first post here. And I write all these stuff. Known this, I shut up..

If I felt myself a true Spanish (ain't, I feel Catalan) I would get offended. As I'm not...

"Zoquete" or "Carcant" would be enough good adjectives
