I have been going through this weird phase of listening to a lot of techno groups from the 90'ies and I can wholeheartedly recommend the album "Dune" from the band of the same name if you are into happy hardcore / eurotrance. Some Wikipedia info on the band here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_%28German_band%29

According to my Last.FM page ( http://www.last.fm/user/dnaumov ) I have also been listening to a lot of Placebo, ATB, Depeche Mode, Robert Miles and as always, Nine Inch Nails as of late. 

Dune is great! I would also recommend you give RMB a try. I love their album Widescreen. 

bought a new cd yesterday. Karl Sanders - Saurian Meditation. Very interesting ethno-dark-folk-ambient sound. I laughted a lot when I saw that one track was called The Elder God Shrine. And the author mention the game Quake in the info about this track. 

I picked that up about a year ago off of Relapse's ebay store, good stuff. Excellent to play Diablo2 (act2) with, and Id imagine some Quake as well. Nice variation from the crushing death metal he usually plays with Nile.

Where did he mention Quake? On a website or in the booklet? I had not noticed such.
Elder God Shrine has too many quads anyways ;) 

Here's the album Pulsar is on aboot:

In the booklet. He said that the title had come from the old game Quake. 

thought to bring this thread up again.
I'm listening to shades of god. Shame this band became pop then later. Well, I guess that happens to every band. Hard to sustain your style or aspect for ten years and not become repetitive. So they turn to pop. Or maybe it's a financial necessity. I can't understand average people, are their feelings and experiences described by such horrible plastic what you see on MTV?

I guess I'm a purist and like this raw touch here. The vocalist is really good. Although the music is a bit brutal at times. 

if you're into Mike Patton's Mr. Bungle you should really try Dog Fashion Disco with their latest effort, Adultery.

it's one of the best records so far for this year.

Its official, the best hard dance live act of the last decade will end on NYE this year :(

What is happier music than Eurodance?

And for the calm moments I started a small blog (yuck) where I am posting free Ambient stuff as reminder about it for myself and sharing with others. :)

I'm a really big Alice in Chains fan. It seems to be the one band that combines every element or attribute of music that interests me into one sweet style of awesomeness. So I felt like posting here, the fact that quite some time ago I ran into a cd which was a side project by the late lead singer Layne Staley.

The band, called Mad Season, was short lived (just one 10 song album and a short tour). This album though, has become one of my favourite albums. While I love Alice in Chains for the heavy metal bashing and smashing, Mad Season is a lot slower and more thoughtful music. There's things that even someone who gets past all the grunge/alt-metal cliches will be surprised by (blues, for one). Although this is basically a cult following type cd today, it's really good and listening to it now really drives home just how incredibly far rock music has strayed from anything resembling sincere personal expression and artistry in the twelve years since its release.

The slow, quiet single "River of Deciet" is on youtube. 

this is not an official video, but suits this song really well, and it is one of the albums best songs:

The CD is on my regular circulation and is one of my favorites; it definitely strays from HM cliches and avoids the mannered approach that makes Fusion unlistenable (the bassist is a Jazz player). They staked out a territory that is quite unique with that album.

AIC has long been one of my fav's and inspirations.

Checkout Would? live but it's with their tour singer, not Layne:

Covers/remixes of Doom I music put together by people from the OC Remix scene. 

Yeah I've had that album for a while too, good stuff, was happy to hear Layne Staley once again when I found it a few years back. 

Love him or hate. He's doing some kind of drum'n'bass, somethingstep, electro stuff. You can download great mixes from http://www.john-b.com/ (audio). 

but his older stuff was much better, check out his Album - "In transit" from 2002-3-4 cant remember :) Pure class! 

Yeah, I have that one. I got known of John B by the "russian version" of his American Girls on Russian Drum & Bass Vol 01 ( http://www.discogs.com/release/843552 ). I really want to buy that CD but all I can find are torrentsites or mp3 shops. :(

This track is from Russian Drum & Bass Vol 01 too,

"Older"?? You kids crack me up. Get back to the Catalyst / Redox era, that's the shit you need.

Good guy though, don't rate everything he's doing these days, but I respect his blending of styles and his production has always been top notch. 

[valley girl]oh yeah![/valley girl] 

Shambler get back to your black and white TV, porridge oats and fighting the Germans plz :D
