Round 2:

Armin van Buuren - Blue Fear (Original Extended)
I've never liked this tune. There was some reason I needed to have this a long time ago but I forgot what it was. I guess I also forgot to delete it.

The Doors - Love Me Two Times
Can't say no to mr. Morrison, now can you?

Cape Town - Touch the Sky, Talk to the Stars
I don't know why, but the B-sides of all Cape Town releases seem to be far superior to the A-sides. This is just a beautiful epic track with a massive break.

M.I.K.E. - Massive Motion
Had to get this to see what the fuss was about. I feel strongly indifferent about this tune.

OP:l Bastards - Masqued Lover
Fantastic quirky lofi electronica from Finland.

Mike Oldfield - Let There Be Light (BT's Pure Luminescence Remix)
I'd give almost anything to get the BT and Hardfloor mixes on CD/vinyl. In full, that is.

Hybrid - Fatal Beating
One of the weakest Hybrid tracks. Don't like it.

The Prodigy - Narayan
I really don't even need to comment on this one, do I?

BT - Somnambulist (Burufunk Remix)
I had high hopes for this but it wasn't as good as I expected. Still, not too bad.

Sensation - The Anthem 2003
Ehh. Used to like this but I just find it rather annoying nowadays.

Hrm...

___________________
Latest releases:
Endless Cycles [Capital Heaven]
The Charlatan [Morphosis]

Converter - Deadman (Perdition)
This one's rhythmic noise... Sounds pretty f**ked up. Gotta be in really special mood for something like this.

Umek - Gatex (DJ Montana Remix)
Eh... As much as I love Umek, I never really liked Gatex. That melody simply doesn't float my boat. I guess DJ Montana made it a little easier for listening by remixing it, but I don't care really.

Somatic Responses - Melt Me Something Nice
Another rhythmic noise tune... This one has an IDM-ish sound to it.

Gavin Bryars - Raising The Titanic (Big Drum Mix)
Ah, what to say about something remixed by good ol' Aphex Twin. This one's on his 26 Mixes For Cash compilation. Not really fast, but it sounds pretty raw.

DJ Tiësto - Nyana
It sounds alright, I suppose... Regular trancer, nice melody.

CombiChrist - Penalty Shot
Jesus, another rhythmic noise one. This one's pretty fast, I guess it would tear you apart if you heard it live.

Squarepusher - C-Town Smash
Okay, this one's weird, but nonetheless cool. It's Squarepusher after all. Doing some funky stuff on a guitar.

Nu NRG - The Shadow
From their Free Fall album... Yet another regular trancer, sound cool, but I haven't listened to it much.

Jan Vayne - Sweet Symphony (Junk Science Mix)
Don't know... Classical Trancelations sound pretty nice, but I'm not a huge fan of trance with classical music elements.

Akira Yamaoka - Walk On Vanity Ruins
Nice piano track from Silent Hill 3 soundtrack. This one's pretty soft compared to what he has done before.

1. Psy-T - 06-03-17-mom
starting out with a track of my own it's just a little monotonous classical piece i made in the last few hours before my mom's birthday as a present to her.

2. Model 500 - Off To Battle
the b2 from one of the many Strings Of Life vinyls, this one from 1989.. will probably delete this unless a more thorough listen will convince me i need it.

3. Monobox - Realm 04
haven't heard this up till now, starts out as minimal techno and evolves to something not far from tool techno, not my cup of tea.

4. Brainflowers - Goaliens
oldschool psytrance from 1996, not particularily good, not particularily bad.

5. Front242 - Trouble (Underviewer)
beatless industrial, lmao at the singing at parts, possibly the song's chorus - they just sing the word "oh" in different notes, if i'll save this it'll be purely for comedic value

6. The Commercial Hippies - The Unconventionalist
wow, this is cool.. it's from 2006 and it's supposedly psytrance, in that that it's marketed to psytrance fans via psytrance shops, but eh... nearly nothing about it sounds like modern psytrance.... ok ok, other than the few acid riffs here and there... but the kick isn't bog standard, it's rarely 4/4, the bpm is lower - without giving a 'progpsy' vibe. i'm honestly surprised about this, though the somewhat poor production values devalue it.

7. Kid 606 - Defective Boy
kid606 shows his love for resonating high tone sine waves among other melodic niceties, cute little thing.

8. Marc Romboy - Model 1601 (Fairmont Remix)
just another one of those bog standard border-community soundalikes, too cheerful and cheap to my liking, will be deleted.

9. Wizzy Noise - The Crow
w00t, finally a tune that sounds familiar, one i can be sure i heard before this game! what is it then? just another modern dark psytrance from 2000, nothing worth remembering honestly

10. Silicon Scally - Non Functional
tech house from 2002 that could easily be swept along either the 'electro' or the 'minimal' trends still in circulation, note worthy? nay.

11. Pleiadians - Meter
now this is sweet, oldschool psytrance from 1999, awesome synth lines and general feel.

12. Underground Circuit - I Want You (Hardcore Swing Mix)
house music filler from 1992, not good - not bad.

13. Tim Xavier - Track 2
taken from his 'unknown ep' of 2005, i suppose this is considered 'minimal', and i don't like it one bit. the mastering sucks, the sounds suck, the sequencing sucks, et cetera.

14. Mark Dwane - Memory Alpha
pianos, strings and quasi-vocal synths make up this ambient track from 2001. pretty nice.

15. Thelonius Monk - I Should Care
the only way you could beat thelonius monk is with john coltrane (or the combo pack). this song sounds like it could also double as a decent panty remover

16. Digital Motion - Cruise Part 1 (Jamie Anderson Epic Mix)
and here's some sweet tech house, not much to say.. chugging groove, good production values, you know, it's a good production, what more can be said?

17. Roman Tapia - Quadrantic
this track wants to kill my father and rape my mother no hard feelings though, at least it'd get me dancing like a twat

18. System7 - Interstate (Doc Scott Mix)
i don't usually download drum'n'bass, not that i have anything in particular against it, i just don't... this sneaked into my harddrive by being included with other remixes i appreciate more. wouldn't recommend this track to d'n'b heads either.

19. Various Artists - Studio 54 Megamix (Get Down Saturday Mix)
dude, this bootleg megamix has michael jackson's Billy Jean and chic's Fuck Off (ok ok, Freak Out) in it (aswell as a few more very high profile songs, the names of which i can't remember atm), how could it not rock?

20. Massive Attack - Incantations
...need i say anything here?



so there you have it, 20 tracks, out of which i have previously heard only 5

People who own my ass: Citric Acid, Boomer187, Tribu, Sand Leaper,
Jackson, venomX, jamie, Renegade, Konjin, Akridrot, Miss Bliss.
Psy-T - Down The Rabbit Hole (400minute long acid set)

Substructure - Firewire
Starts out Ambient-ish, calm, uplifting. Turns into a bit of Downtempo, and feels as though it's something you'd play at the end of a movie when the main character reminisces, or during a happy ending.

The Beatles - Because (Shiloh Remix)
I'm very, very wary about anybody touching any Beatles material. If any producer screws it up, they should be shot. Thankfully, Shiloh nailed this remix. They used very little vocals (which saves the tune from potential bastardization), and the entire tune is a driving, excellent piece of Progressive House.

Mark Isham - ... Safe Now
Off of the Crash soundtrack, which is one of my favorite movie soundtracks, this short Ambient piece is erm... Melancholic? I dunno.

Angel Ace - Ocean Memory
Aah, a track I don't remember ever having, and I think this is my first real listen. Cliche Trance, but the melody isn't bad.

Coldplay - Fix You
I've never really listened to the entire track. Really nice tune.

James Zabiela - Live a Vibe, Florida 04.10.02
Starts off with a bit of ocean sampling, then his remix of Boomclick - Homegrown. Decent set, but really picks up at Ryeland Alison & Dave Dresden - Use Only The Drugs and gets better and better from there. It's more entertaining listening to him drop Chutney than Tiest0r.

Tiest0r - Traffic
I have mixed feelings here. I don't really know what to say.

Lars Bartkuhn & His Passion Dance Orchestra - Treasure Everywhere
Yay for Jazz!

Chab - Kiss100 Guest Mix, 04.24.05
Fucking excellent mix.

The Chemical Brothers - The Golden Path (Ewan Pearson Extended Vocal)
The original rocks, and is one of my favorite tunes. I don't think I've ever felt what I felt when they dropped it live; incredibly uplifting/euphoric. Pearson's version of the tune does plenty of justice to it. Brilliant.

U2 - With or Without You (Sultan & Miche Mix)
Starts out well, and builds gently into the original melody. Hits a break with Bono's moan/wail/cry thingy, followed by vocals. Plenty of justice to the original so far. Now, I'm thinking of retracting my previous statement. The lyrics "With or without you" are continously looped excessively, and bring the track down.

CJ Bolland - The Prophet
COME WITH ME!

Banana, na na, na na, na na, na na! Banana, na na, na na, na na, na na!



Marco V - Simulated
Wow, a bit of Tiest0r at Dance Valley 2001 with this one and CJ Bolland. Both good tunes, and a damn good set, too.

Moby - God Moving Over the Face of the Waters
Need I say anything here?

I'll call that good for now.

Psy-T - Down The Rabbit Hole (400minute long acid set)

1. Sneaker Pimps - Spin Spin Sugar
I really don't know enough about this group. I love trip-hop, and from what I've heard, they're very good. Nice dark atmosphere to this track, and of course her voice is gold.

2. Nelly - St. Louie
Country Grammar really was a pretty great album back in the day. Used to listen to this track when driving around town shortly after I first got my driver's license. Haven't really listened to it since.

3. Jay-Z - Can I Get A What What
I love the beat to this track. Jay-Z really is one of the best lyricists in all of hip-hop too. "Can I get a FUCK YOU to these bitches from all of my niggaz who don't love hoes, they get no dough"

4. Sasha - Boileroom
Not my favorite ADD track, but for me there weren't too many downpoints on the entire album.

5. Solarstone - Day By Day (Red Jerry's Smack The Bigot Up Dub)
What a track. I first heard this on the Oakenfold NYC GU, and have loved it ever since. Classic goodness.

6. Michelle Branch - All I Wanted
ummmmm... must be, ummm, my sister's track. Don't know how it... ummm... got on my hard drive.

7. Fleetwood Mac - Tusk
From their live reunion album that featured the USC marching band. Pretty cool sound when turned up on surround.

8. Cream - Crossroads
Classic Clapton. Very bluesy with so much soul.

9. Kylie Minogue - Someday
I don't care what anybody says; Kylie is class. In my opinion the smartest pop available.

10. Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song
"We come from the land of the ice and snow, from the midnight sun where the hot springs flow." I heart Zepp.

11. Golden Earring - Radar Love
WHAT A SONG! Classic Rock at its greatest. But the lyrics are whacked out.

12. Bt - Last Moment of Clarity
I really liked his Emotional Technology album, though for me this was one of the less memorable tracks.

13. Third Eye Blind - Danger
Well it's full of energy, but def. not one of my favorite 3EB songs.

14. Billy Joel - Piano Man
"Sing us a song, you're the piano man; sing us a song tonight. Cause we're all in the mood for a melody, and you got us feelin' alright."

15. Paul van Dyk - Today (Trance Ambient Mix)
PvD's productions are alright, but I favor his softer stuff to his harder.

16. Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice
If only it were the video too.

17. Blue Six - Music & Wine (Teksoul Dub)
Funky deep house tune.

18. Jackson Browne - Runnin' On Empty
My favorite Jackson Browne track. He and Van Morrison are both pretty amazing.

19. Richie Valens - La Bamba
Heck yes, the original.

20. Sander Kleinenberg - My Lexicon (Original Mix)
What a way to end this series. One of my favorite tracks of all time.

I like it though
