Two of my pals are trying to get me to go to Boom festival with em, but if I’m being totally honest I hate fucking psy trance. I can’t stand the false trusty scene. I’d rather get smashed to some gabber and dispense with all the woo hippy bollox.
No offence to any psy heads, I’ve just had a life time of it, and I can only enjoy it if I’m tripping, even then it feels forced

That looks awful
Tell me about it man, and they’re banging on that ‘it’s on for 7 days!’ as if that makes it more palatable…it’s 7 days longer then it needs to be
It just all sounds exactly the same to me. Chugging baseline, drug reference, drop
Like I can get lost in the simple yet interesting industrial headspace of techno, it really puts me in a trance and I can groove on it for hours, and anything with loud breaks just makes my body involuntarily jump about smiling

Fair. Its shit.
A mate of mine went to Ozora. 9 fucking days of it. He came back totally changed. Cant listen to anything with a 4/4 kick. Gave up making tunes on FL studio and took up woodwork.
Cured him, he hates psy trance now.

Matey went through the ringer it seems. 9 days….my goodness. That’s what happened to me though, just every year at glade, it was like 90% psy trance. So it made seek out the secret action, nosing about for techno, the year bangface took over was fuxking unreal. Altern8 and ceefax acid. Could see the psy fairies (actual fairy wings and such) running to the tea tent to smoke changa to get away from it, was glorious
does young Gary look like young Sheldon 
and theres young Billy Currie in there too

If I remember right, this is both a wonderful album but also mastered wrong. The singles sound better. (going on memory from ages past, 'cos I’ve not played them for a long time).
The second Lamb album “Fear Of Fours” is also great overall but has fewer strong singles. To my ears, they went a bit too wishy-washy after those two.

I liked lamb when I was a teenager, their first album was brilliant I thought, but I soured on it overtime and I can’t stand them anymore. I saw them actually and they where such lovy middle class twats that I just blew them out.
Did the first one have ‘Gabriel’ on it? There was some decent production but, yeah jt was wet as fuck
I dunno if anyone has mentioned:

Mid 40s here, and have a ticket for next year’s BangFace festival. I go out more than I maybe should. My record collection is not quite Bong Ra or Sun 0)) level extreme, but I have seen many of those or similar live/dj-ing.
(I’m also a bit “lovy middle class” :D)

To be fair, all this electronic shit peaked in the mid 1990’s.
It’s pretty much all been downhill since this came out in 95.

I love “UFOrb”, and quite like “Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld”… but 39 Evil Bro (as my friends called it) feels really distant and mushy. The live translations didn’t work, for me. I saw them play a similar set at Creamfields one year… and fell asleep. Caught them live in recent years (with their more danceable current sound) and they were excellent. As a friend pointed out… they make ambient into “pop”. It’s obviously not 3min radio pop, but they can make 10min space jams into something immediate and catchy. It’s very impressive.

Yes, to be fair my appreciation of Bro Evil 39 was formed in a dense grassy fog of teenage indulgence, although I did go to see them live in Leeds that year too and thoroughly enjoyed the show (which had more dancey bits). I think on the whole the album has a weird , psychedelic space-dub vibe to it, with more random samples than you can shake a stick at.
UFOrb is much tidier and solid though.
I didn’t know what to make of it when I first heard it (I raised myself on pirate radio hardcore and junglism), but grew to love it.
