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. |

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. :rolleyes: |
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. |

| What means Fictivision?? |
|
|
| DJ Kernkraft400 |
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 :toocool: |

Aura - Carpe Diem
Da Hool - Eichelruck |
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, "Eichelrück" 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, rück = back.

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
