@levaleucen I see...I think most of the philosopher names I know of are Western, but most of my beliefs are tied to Eastern ones!
As for religion, I think we've simply forgotten that life used to be short, so it made the most sense to combine our sense of a large grand story (seen in many anime) with practical advice on how to live. It similarly made sense to combine the legend of Aeneas with the proven history of the Trojan War. Now, I agree. Things need to be interesting in order to be read.

@levaleucen It's incredible what you've been able to do as a DJ from such an early age in such difficult living conditions. You have a clear talent for using modern technology to connect with others and help others connect. I only wish you hadn't discovered so much so quickly, so there's less to look forward to! So once you start producing, make sure there's more to look forward to!

@levaleucen In the end, everything happens for a good reason, even if we don't see it right away, or even in our lifetimes. Personally, I don't think I would have wanted to be involved in the scene, despite enjoying the music as much as I have. I would play at an event if asked, but I think it would just make me feel more isolated. If my music was meant for other people, I would know after creating so much for so long. If I wanted to enjoy music with other people, I would be doing so already.

@levaleucen Oh, you think YOU miss him?! Just think about how much **I** miss him!! Hahahaha!!

@RebalLance Nice overlap! I remember how insanely excited I was that this and Old Adam were going to release at the same time.
Ten years...it might be time for a ritual relisten in September. Unfortunately I live ao far from any place I dreamed about now...but if I enjoy it, maybe I can finally test-listen the sequel.

@RebalLance Another impressive track from Nirotiy! (As they all are.) The happy hardcore lead synth puts this too far from "freeform" for me, but the variety between sections while maintaining the same mood is exactly what electronic music needs. A version with synths from the Iron Squid remix could be a followup to Point of No Return!

@levaleucen I really hope you do!

@levaleucen That's interesting! Which ones have you been reading? I agree, devotion to an idea unites us on a deeper level emotionally than just being part of a nation. Popes used to be able to threaten kings...I'm pantheist personally, so I've been called both theist and atheist. It's the only way things logically fit together for me, and emotionally satisfying. I might not have had faith in the world having good things were it not for music.
