&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Just wanted to let you know that I have both of my albums available for download, as well as some live tracks from this summer's shows.  Turns out em:t records will not be releasing my second album, Unifactor, and I am searching for a new label.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As always, you can catch Gel-Sol every saturday night at SPINDRIFT in Seattle, located at the Collins Pub on 2nd and James.  I will also be performing at this years Earthdance Festival outside of Portland, Oregon, so come out and say hi!

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Here's some new tunes from a new album I'm working on, called Terramecha. These are all improvised interpretations. 
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Well, its that time again. Time for the sun to summon us out of our dwellings....flowers are blooming, bees are making honey, and yer pal Gel-Sol brings the joy of ambient psychedelic space crud.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;TERRAMECHA SESSIONS
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;With the release of Unifactor on the horizon, Gel-Sol is back with a shit-ton of new material. The Terramecha Sessions is an improvised exploration of Gel-Sol material, past, present and future. Each performance will be unique, and recorded as "R&amp;amp;D" for the next Gel-Sol release, Terramecha.  For more info on Gel-Sol, and a crap-ton of downloads, please visit www.gel-sol.com or www.myspace.com/gelsol
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The music itself is densely-layered, integrating swirling ambience with complex rhythms n' beats.   Think Orb/Future Sound of London/Tangerine Dream/Biosphere/Eno.

&lt;br/&gt;Hey, I updated the audio section of my site.  There you can check out samples of my new album Unifactor.  It's pretty dope.  The first song is a complete download.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You can also download my Ween Mega-mix, Stallion 3000.   I used something like 70 ween tunes to make an "orginal" piece of music.  It's funny.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Unifactor should be out around April or so, so you should prolly think now about considering to buy it, or at least start showing some signs of anticipation.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Feedback appreciated as always.

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Hi Everybody!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;First off, I want to wish all of you a happy holidaze, and a spectacular new year!  I for one, think 2006 is gonna be filled with love and magic, rainbows and unicorns, and robots that attack with the aid of smaller robots....I'm just kidding....about everything except the robots.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Ok, so what's goin on?   I just finished my second album, entitled "Unifactor."  Let's just say that if this album got in a fight with my last album, it would kick its ass.  The album spans ~67 minutes and the cover art is designed by yer pal.....Gel-Sol.  Expect more of the typical gel-sol bullshit/shennanigans, plus some new sounds that'll really get things going at yer next tupperware party/midget orgy....Here's the tracklisting:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;01. open her
&lt;br/&gt;02. brontosaur yu
&lt;br/&gt;03. propulsion
&lt;br/&gt;04. on a clear night you can see the answer
&lt;br/&gt;05. slowjob
&lt;br/&gt;06. cool sweet awesome yay!
&lt;br/&gt;07. 3C273
&lt;br/&gt;08. mother never known
&lt;br/&gt;09. ohne schlage
&lt;br/&gt;10. saying goodbye is never easy
&lt;br/&gt;11. unifactor
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The album is going thru a testing period this week, where I will be testing it on numerous types of stereo systems before it goes to mastering.  If you wanna hear some samples of Unifactor, please visit my MySpace page at www.myspace.com/gelsol
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Lemme know what you think!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If you would like to review this album, please send me an email, and I will hook you up with a copy...If all goes well, Unifactor should be out in early 2006.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Also, 302 Acid is back at work on a new studio album.   We are busy compiling and trading audio in what promises to be another dark experimental adventure into the unknown....ok, that sounded cheesy, but you know what I'm sayin'?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So yeah, lotta stuff to look forward to in 2006.   I am personally looking forward to going overseas again, and seeing more of the world....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Until next time....

&lt;br/&gt;Possible you will say.. "the psychedelic its inside of us... "
&lt;br/&gt;yah, but now it´s hard to found a place, event or "the tune of your life" where the music and/or give you the possibility to "let go", isnt?. 
&lt;br/&gt;Actually its all about that. 
&lt;br/&gt;I think this is our difference as individuals.
&lt;br/&gt;and is my impresion.. the scene changed to something what im not feeling that comfortable anymore. getting Hard.
&lt;br/&gt;I am sure, most of us... we dont enjoy or feel that "good " in the dancefloor as b4. 
&lt;br/&gt;why???

(Poetics, Aristotle)
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;There is so much good music in this world ~ especially as a DJ i'm all the time confronted with new, amazing sounds. But i'm also afraid that such a big quantities will make me numb and music will loose it's personal, unique quality..
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;so i was looking for not 'just good music', but those special tunes that really get to you, touch you and cause emotional earthquakes, tsunami's, or... (fill in whatever comes to mind)

There's parties around NZ this week in celebration of Winter Solstice.  I hear there's summer parties in the UK, just wondering if this was a "special" time worldwide.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There's a quote from coffee &amp;amp; cigs where one of the white stripes comments "Tesla had an idea that the earth was a resonant body" - I love the idea of the positive energy created at gatherings resonating our tiny blue bioshphere, gaining momentum and ringing joy, beauty and positivity out into the cosmos : )

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Namaste,
&lt;br/&gt;                   Recently I had a short conversation with my new landlady/roomate. It was Sunday afternoon, and she had just finished watching an evangelical preacher on TV. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;                   Not the usual Bible thumper....he only mentioned "Christ" once. The greater (and good) part of his message was "Blooming where you are planted." In this is the spiritual advice of accepting differences. I was also thrilled to see him preach a message of Joy, and how to apply this in daily activities.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;                 Shortly after the tide was to change. The News came on....and though I did not pick up on the subtle cues (my landlady 'likes' Pat Robertson &amp;amp; the 700 club) I spoke with her a little about my misgivings of the US involvement in Iraq. She took the Rep. Party stance that the Pres. was a hero, a GOOD man, and that Sadam was wrong and torturing his people and they needed to be saved.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;                I explained to her that the Iraqi's have a different culture, and that I did not think it was reasonable to judge them based on our expectations. As far as Mr. Bush was concerned, I explained, "I cant say he is a good man, I have never met him." I used this gentle declaration to allow myself and her our differences. I did inform her that the US was using Uranium tipped armor piercing shells in the M-1 Tanks...and that Birth defects had risen astronomically in their country since the old Gulf War. That such ammunition was outlawed by the U.N. and the U.S. was the only country to be using it. She denied this as being a fantasy...because she had not seen it on TV. That if "it was true," it surely would be on TV.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;         I briefly explained that Military personel knew it...as did a friend of mine whose father was a 4 Star General with Colin Powell in NATO. (Thats were I first heard it, and have checked it with other military people). I then excused myself, and went to my Drum class.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;        Today I meditated on the synchronicity of living with a dyed-blue Republican Conservative Christian. First....I will learn tolerance in this situation, and patience. I will also become more experienced in how we as people delude ourselves into believing "I am RIGHT." How we accept "facts" which agree with our perspectives, and reject those that do not support our beliefs.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;       Second - I realized that when it comes to beliefs....she may be just as misinformed as any Liberal Green Party Pagan! The one point that they would both have in common is their faith in a belief which can only come to a close approximation of reality, and never hope to encompass full reality. In short...the one thing my two opposites have in common is a) a stubborn belief, which supports the individual world view. In either case (conservative/Liberal) they both think they are Right...and others are Wrong.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;       I rest easilly in her home, knowing that she means well, and as misguided as I might perceive her, she is thinking what she believes to be right and good. (which I did tell her that "everyone" allways thinks that what they think and do is right, even a mass murderer thinks they are right).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;      I will finish this short exploration with a final thought. She told me that the War in Iraq was justified. That my thinking we were wrong for invading was "bad thinking." That there "will allways be war, because there has allways been war."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I told her ......"Yes, it was that way once upon a time, but it does not have to be like that anymore!" I look forward to the possible future evolution of our species......In-Joy
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Live and Love
&lt;br/&gt;Fox&lt;/div&gt;

Of course it was written in the 60's and had that tres cool feel to it. But I think it's words speak as loud today as then........ in joy
&lt;br/&gt;Great to read this after having a look at Bushism and his Fear zealots for the last 4 years.

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;So, I've been thinking about this quite a bit.  People come up to me after shows and have this huge energetic charge toward me because I am a musician, and because they have felt something when dancing to my music.  I personally think that EVERYONE has an inherent artform, whether it's music, dancing, painting, loving, listening, understanding, dreaming, speaking, or just being.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I want to know what YOUR artform is?  What is the way that YOU bring forward light into the world?  What is YOUR connection to the Source?  I believe that every person has a special way that only they can affect the world around them.  For me it happens to be music.  I want to de-mystify this idea that dj's/producers are more special than everyone else, and find what other ways people can bring transformation through themselves...

&lt;br/&gt;nice space here. so we will see what is to share in the network. thanx for putting theideais inside it. I really like to share the ideas end of august here in germany with many open minded people. the concept has got some changes already. I will hope that during the summer many people will join the concept with their ideas with the old chaiwallah Namaste at our chaishop so that we will have a good vibration for going back to the roots.&lt;/div&gt;
