If I've learned anything since 1993, it's that although it's my true love and will always have a place in my heart, there is nothing special about psytrance. Sound is sound. Music is music. Love is love. All is one - and there can be unity, oneness and the dissolution of ego on any dancefloor where people join together to celebrate life and each other. It doesn't matter whether it's psytrance, minimal, house, rock, dub, hiphop - when the magic comes down on the dancefloor everything changes. Psytrance may have 'psy' in the name to remind us of this, but - especially with dance music - people can find psychedelia and trance in almost anything (for me, especially loop-based instrumental music, as I find vocals distracting for trance and there is joy in repetition  ). This is because of one fact:
Psychedelia is IN YOU.
The whole bloody universe is IN YOU, if you know where and how to look. Denying the ability of other forms of music to take you there is misguided in my opinion. Just because YOU can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there. Genres exist to keep things apart - why focus on them if all is one?  Mastering - http://mastering.OOOD.net :: www.is.gd/mastering

Any examples of this bad vibe? Commercial? I didn't see any big corporate banners or logos or did I miss them?
I'm just surprised 'cos I thought the vibes were pretty good IMHO! |

Lou Zer, appropriate username I would say.
Thank you for your 3 posts, 2 of them bashing BOOM and Fusion Festival and 1 praising Ozora. But I prefer to give more credit to the opinion of other users, with a history of contribution to this forum...
Cheers  |

first of all i realy dont like when the organisation force u to use only their own resources as water, food etc.
be reasonable, how should i carry my things all this way?!
you people are crazy if you think we are porters, we need this power for the festival himself
and then what? you sell only small bottles of water?! WTF
why boom have to be different of the rest of festivals when you can reach with your car till the camping site (and still you can buy big water at festival area)
and i dont even want to think about the poor crowd who come there with their caravan
how was it in a totaly different planet? without any conveniences
worst case for me and the main reason why i wont go back there is the lame security stuff who let all these gipsys to get inside the area to make their own chaos
stealing, distrubing, fighting, thats not what i used to see in these kind of events
i dont know what about you people, maybe you were blind coz of something but i saw so many incidents over there and the security (police?) just dont take part of it like they are supporting them or something
i have so many things to say about what went wrong there but it doesnt matter like everything else there coz the organisation dont give a sheep about your willings anyway, its all about their profits..............
p.s jingo i didnt ask for your credits
cheers |

have we been to the same festival?
you had PLENTY of water taps everywhere, i have no idea what gipsy's/chaos/fighting you are talking about... seen none of that - moreover, the staff were kind whenever i needed them.
the only thing i agree with are the distances (atleast from the entrance to the camping area... that was really really far... not to mention the caravan parking that had to do this trek every day  )
btw colin - most definately agree with your post - but there is one thing i do have to criticize with all the open mindness and will to try other things - if the main stage is a TRANCE stage and there is another stage for experimental and minimal music - why have a fixed timeslot for the same kind of music in the main stage ? i can accept diversity, but having the same type of music in the same timeslots for 7 days straight is not diversifying - rather annoying to anyone that came for the trance dance  |

I'm not disagreeing, but I realise my focus on other perspectives of this discussion, and description of how much I personally enjoyed the daytimes at Boom might not make that clear. I think I would have had just as good a time (maybe even better, who knows) if there had been more music between 135 and 145 bpm during the day, but in that heat the tempo was perfect and I don't know if there's enough contemporary 128 - 135bpm psytrance out there to fill 7 days, or even just afternoons. I might be wrong though, I'm not exactly a music collector!

i was in the caravan park
but i saw in the website, before i go to the Festival, and the Staff said, to bring Bikes thats what i brought, and to be honest in the two frist days was hard, but then for me was no problem doing the way until the dance Temple.
about the thieves i dont see anytinhg.
it was my 5 BOOM and i loved
i am sad that Lou Zer did not like the festival but is also very hard to please everyone of the 25.000 that were in the BOOM.

That quote raises a question.
Is it your true love because you cant get and keep a girlfriend?

Was my first Boom and the first festival in Europe. To consider my experience in brazilians´ festivals, the bad and the good ones, Boom 2010 was very razonable to me.
The comments about bpm in trance festivals comes from the taste. Evolution of the music is independent of styles or bmp tunes, because the music speaks about the art, that envolves the poor fellow to a high feelings and thoughts and reflexions that inspire ourselves: to the spirituality, to the sex, to the friendship or to the simple dancing. It depends of the spirit.
And I thought the afternoons wonderfull until the time I was, but its only my taste:
Emok, first day at the dome was incredible, broke my hip at first day, sorry me. And after that, just consequencies: zombi, montagu and golconda, mapusa mapusa, lifshit, pena, perfect stranger, sonkite, minilogue, antix, to me sounded preety sexy enough, what is the problem? The problem is the taste isnt it. Everything will depend of the humour. If you have a cinetic spirit: 145 BPM.
Does not matter even the style, perfectly agree with some people, specially Odd, and that issue: the sonorid is changing, but can be still musical, tribal mating dance as well how we enjoy. Enjoy if you could, we have the right to protest. But as an performer artist I am afraid the unconformity has to be valid. The controversy over empty principles is ideology.

Boom 2010 epilogue, or my last words:
To all psytrance events organizers:
Psytrance maybe is the last gate to the ancient and magic world left to the hyper-industrilized western world...
Please, dont´t kill the psy in the trance...
Don´t close the door... |

same opinion...
it was my first BIIG festival...
imo, the decoration was a bit futuristic.. ok, its water, tons of blues and stuff...
but i like the concept "the more earthy, the better"
still, the blue environment on chill out was amazing....
it should have a bit more dark and imo, some music on the dancefloor(afternoon, not all ofc, not even half) should go to groovy beach, i dont know...
the auto-music house was just a trip!!!
got me pretty high ahah
PS- best thing abt boom is the people... theyr the best decor and fun u can have ))))))
beautifull and mega ppl there...
I want a spare brain.... or 2. |
