ooh some great voice samples for psytrance here!

"What we do know is.. well- you, me, the stars, the galaxies and everything we see but in fact that is just the tip of the cosmic iceberg. Most of the universe is invisible."

A goa trance track needs to be made called Cosmic Iceberg.

muahaha, awesome.

I like his voice, too. He SOUNDS like the scientist that he is- very good for trance music.

Well, I don't have an MP3 player, so I just loaded up my entire collection in winamp and hit randomize playlist. Here's what I came up with:

1. Beatsystem - Endlessly Downward

This is exactly what it sounds like. It is a 3 minute track of a repeating loop of tones that sound like they are going downward, endlessly. It is kind of a auditory version of barbershop pole.

2. Transwave - The Rezwalker (London Live Remix)

The first of several classic goa trance tracks that ended up here. I do have a fair collection of old goa on here, I suppose, but they are unfairly represented in this list, which is just fine. I love this music.

3. Finski Disco - Speaking in Lungs

Now this is really really weird stuff. Finland psytrance is some of the most interesting music I've heard in years.

4. Acrid Abeyance - 303 Delight

Classic, screaming, hard acid techno music. 303 delight, indeed.

5. Pleiadians - Alcyone

Another classic goa track. Alcyone is the name of a star in the pleadian star cluster.

6. Cause 4 Concern - Research

Drum and bass.

7. St. Germain - Montego Bay Spleen

This is the closest thing to an embarassment on my list. OK, it's almost mainstream jazzy house music. It's cool though.

8. Chris Watson - Adult Cheetah resting by the Baobob tree.

An actual recording of a Cheetah, purring as it rests by a tree. If you turn it up loud, it sounds crazy- almost like you're in a cheetah's mouth!

9. Shpongle - Periscopes of Consciousness
10. Infected Mushroom - Semi Nice

These should be self-explanatory.

Wow, did I ever luck in. What a great list!

I only have about 500 records, but haven't really been collecting for a few years now. My friend Jesse Dangerously, on the other hand, has over 2000. When we were roommates, we bought a HUGE record shelf from IKEA. I took up two of the twenty units. Jesse has it completely FULL now, although probably a full third of those records are bargain basement classics that he bought for sample digging.

My record collection is probably 1/3rd classic goa trance (astral projection, hallucinogen, infected mushroom, etnica, total eclipse, etc), 1/3rd banging techno, and the rest is a mishmash of ambient, triphop and classics... I've got a few rare gems- a test pressing of the mortal kombat theme music, for example- and some portishead singles, but most of my rare records are really niche psytrance finds.

“Upvote for the Ken Nordine, although I must say the powerpoint animation leaves something to be desired. The audio is from an album he released of radio ads that he made for a paint company back in the 50s. It's one of the most unique albums in my collection.””
