(Thanks to Basilisk @ Ektoplasm.com for the link)]]> http://www.last.fm/user/trolllover/journal/2009/04/13/2n962d_last.fm_alternative Mon, 13 Apr 2009 18:49:34 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/trolllover/journal/2009/04/13/2n962d_last.fm_alternative I've found a new love and it's name is Groveshark.com! You sign up (free) and then you can build your own on-demand playlists from their HUGE library of music. Save them, share them, and let Groveshark fill the lists with new music that they somehow (probably using magic) guess that you will like. That suggestion feature is called Autoplay (like the shit in windows that let Sony autoinstall rootkits and DRM into your computer without asking first (or ever for that matter)).

NOt much of a community going on over there, but maybe that'll be added later. For now it's all about the music! Give it a try, I am glad I did. Never did try that spotifything, no invites to be had, and too expensive to pay for every month, and I didn't like their lack of a linux client. Grooveshark happens inside your web2.0 browser (fajafox baby!)

Project's latest album; X Black Album from 2008.


Overall, if you are a person who either used to really like S.U.N. Project, or are not totally offended by them, this album is very much worth checking out and picking up.

Or someone else who is posing as them... Anyway - Just have a listen to the first listed album "First Flight" from 1996 and you'll be hooked on their sweet goa in notime.

Slinky Wizard - Lunar Juice (Hallucinogen Moon Strudel remix)
Pleiadians - Zeta Reticuli (Lazy Spiral remix)
Slinky Nuns - Shitty Stick (Better Than a Poke in the Eye With A)
Hallucinogen - Trancespotter

Get it all before its too late.

Her music sound to me like it has its roots in Greek folk music. See her entry on IMDB, where all her soundtracks are listed.

http://thepiratebay.org/]]> http://www.last.fm/user/trolllover/journal/2008/03/03/b94or_what_is_goa_trance__psychedelic_trance%3F Mon, 3 Mar 2008 01:24:37 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/trolllover/journal/2008/03/03/b94or_what_is_goa_trance__psychedelic_trance%3F Copied from Ektoplazm:

-The time of a track is generally around 8′30″, but can be between 6′00″ and 12′00″ … sometimes more, sometimes under 6′00″ (especially on mixed compilations), but too short tracks are generally hard to get into.
-The beat is generally 4/4 and around 135-150 BPM … sometimes less, rarely more!
-In the music there’s a constant use of strange and psychedelic sounds, and that gives a strange atmosphere. Sometimes those sounds are frogs, barking dogs, crying baby’s but mostly you can’t describe it… You simply have to hear it!! Also used are the famous acid or 303 sounds, and even guitars, who drive people completely crazy!
-Most Goa (but NOT all) is also very melodic.
-The music is mostly very full on, good to dance…
-The basslines are mostly harder and deeper as from normal Trance or Techno.
-The combination of all those things make this music very good for dancing, tripping and listening…!
