Something is happening. The page is now twisted v.03..

And now it jumped back to v.04

twisteddownloads seem to have it ready for.. download.

huh?

I’ve downloaded the album from www.twisteddownloads.com

Hallucinogen In Dub Live, ladies and gents, has been released.

Wow.  2 years in the making.  How is it?  I’m nervous that there will be too much of a rock sound with the live performance and not enough dub.  Just my taste and thoughts from the samples but I only listened to them once.

First listen done. I’m picky as HELL when it comes to what you’re talking about… They deliver. They deliver. This is outstanding.

Can’t get that Cicada tune out of my head!

The first thing I do after I finish a term paper - check Twisted and find H i D has been released! It was a nice instant party for my head. Thank you for the early release surprise!

Hell hath officially frozen over… due both the fact that Twisted released an album earlier than expected (well, sort of), and the fuckin chilled out nature of this album. Only two tracks through so far… loving it, just wishing twisteddownloads had FLAC!!!!

just ordered the CD ! 

this is a very nice surprise indeed.

cheers !

P.S
maybe now someone can start a new thread about HID Live in the twisted review section, i think it will be a bit more suitable for comments about the music. 

Also just ordered, very nice surprise! Almost want to buy the digital too so I can just hear it now.

Listening to it right now.  I agree, it doesn’t disappoint.  Hard to say worth the wait after how frustrating it was so I won’t, but wow.

WARNING: DO NOT PURCHASE WITHOUT LISTENING or downloading to preview 1st…it didnt meet my expectations and to be honest they werent too high to begin with…but im just bored with this album besides “Dark Persuasion” check my reasons why in the review section.

I’ve already bought it without hearing it first apart from the site previews. I just took the word of the many good comments made in 2007 on the party and have been looking forward to a new approach and take of what is a fantastic studio album. It’s live, it’s gonna be different just like the Shpongle show was different from the albums.

These following comments were wrote after the party in 2007

Willowman wrote “My own personal highlights of the night were Hallucinogen In Dub (sublime) and Prometheus (stomping)”

Suig wrote “I loved Ott, Hallucinogen In Dub and then Younger Brother was completely mind blowing. Somehow think that Prometheus should give up DJ ing and Trance and concentrate on the stuff he likes and is good at”

Sirdropsalot wrote “WOW. What an amazing party. My highlight was definately seeing Hallucinogen in Dub. Truly mindblowing. I know its a hassle to organise and do (which is prob why its only been done twice ever) but you guys should really consider showing the live talent off more often. Come to Glade this year and do an in dub set! (that would be AWESOME)
I love the way Ott was onstage so much, he is in my opinion as much of a sonic genius as mr posford himself, though not to detract any amount of respect from the latter, I thought his performances were incredible, as usual.”

In reply to that post YohanKiwi wrote “I most definately second that. i find that fully live electronica is quite rare to find atm, unless its at the big festivals. and even when you do find it, it

I think the major problem is that they don’t do more as live sets… in regards to someone who said this might be their future, I could definitely agree. The drums on HiD Live are very crucial and really drive the album. Y’all know my thoughts on the bass but given an improvement with that and the introduction of live voices remixed on the spot and a few other key touches, and of course extreme practice this and the likes of Shpongle/YB could be sets which match the likes of Cirque du Soleil. I would absolutely be willing to pay the $50+ for the experience of it, as well.
