The boys on the Official Podcast have been making fun of their resident Australian for a long time for liking dinosaurs. Despite liking their content I think anyone claiming that dinosaurs are "nothing but glorified chickens" should probably be sent to some form of gulag.

[@ParalyzedSociety]

Are we just witnessing the birth of a new music genre? Dino-Synth is here and its awesome. T-Rex, huge plants, back in time travelling rambo looking like heroes, ancient folks living inside the hollow earth, frightened kids sitting in top of the the tree and stuff like that coming up my mind.

I like to play this in my headphones when I walk around downtown Portland at night & in the rain. Makes me feel like I'm in an 80's movie.

[@hwt-ka-pth]

Nice, meanwhile in Netherlands I was just about to continue reading one of the most beautiful grotesque stories ever written by your well known fellow Portland native. I think I'll take your example and see if it suits the Pet Sematary

[@ReaperKezia]

@@hwt-ka-pth Very nice. I had a 4 hour layover in Amsterdam many years ago. Had a chance to explore the city for a couple of hours. Such a peaceful & beautiful place! I loved how their were more bicycles than cars & it seemed like every other block had a river running down the middle. I was with 1 of my other buddies on our way back to Iraq from the US. We broke off from the main group that just hung out at the airport & went and found a "cafe" and got super stoned lmao. It was just a group of about 12 of us coming back from 2 weeks of leave back home & we knew them all well so they didn't give a crap we got stoned lmao

[@hwt-ka-pth]

@@ReaperKezia Haha you're right, there are some 25 million bicycles on a population of 17 million.. Layovers are always shit but delighting to hear you've had a good time in our capital, as in many ways it isn't what it used to be anymore. It indeed has got some nice parts left like the architecture and the lots of water it's build upon, and some shops still sell the good organic stuff :p but for the more impressive quality, as well for a more authentical/genuine 'Dutch experience' I'd highly recommend travelling to (the lesser touristic) cities more inland, when you happen to have the chance. I also like to visit America one time (as I'd like to do Iraq mainly for it's historical remains, but I presume you aren't for holiday?) with at least an excursion to the surroundings of most of Stephen King's novels. I live here in the south-eastern province, and much of his described landscapes always remind me of my own region of Limburg

[@Chaos_Smoker]

@@UnlockingYourEnergy in music (art) there's no rules

[@thebudgetgamer9979]

I don't think this music is that simple. It's clever, tastefully composed, original, and nicely mixed. It's got sweet melodies intertwined with dinosaur sound effects. Calling it simple is selling it short.

[@CFMaximus]

The last track is particularly incredible. Consider its title, "Faint Burning Glimmer in the Mesozoic Sky." This is going to tell us a story. The story of the end of the dinosaurs. It begins with sampled grunts and screeches conveying that this is a day much like any other. Dinosaurs are going about their business devouring primordial fruits and grasses and other dinosaurs. But something is a little off about their vocalizations. There is a tense foreboding present, as if the dinosaurs themselves can sense what's coming. The sparse yet ominous synthesized chord progression enhances this feeling. Then the percussion slams into action while at the same time, the lead synth plays a sudden tragic anthem for what is to come. The percussion is fast-fast compared to what we've heard so far from this album's previous tracks. It subverts our expectations. There is a sense of urgency. Time is running out. Human tribal chants are thrown into the mix. Primitive humans, celebrating the unmaking of their furtive mammalian ancestor's cold-blooded overlords, hearkening a future of warm-blooded domination. We're near the end now. Dinosaur grunts return, competing with the humans. This time they almost seem blissfully ignorant. That earlier foreboding in the synths has given way to pure majesty. It feels as if the song could continue for a few more bars. It doesn't. It's cut by an explosion-a crescendo of destruction, and then... silence. The reign of the dinosaurs ended all too soon. Much like this album. Pure. Musical. Genius.

[@lokstollen124]

Nice analysis!🦖

[@The_0zzman]

I want your weed guys number

[@ScreamBloodyGwar]

I read that this project’s intent is to give you the feel of antiquated dinosaur depictions and media. To give you the image of a tail dragging T. rex, featherless raptors, dinosaurs are less like animals and more like monsters with more mystery than proven science about them. You may even imagine primitive man sneaking about avoiding the clutches of a greatly mismatched time period prehistoric creature You can hear the “monster”/unscientific dinosaur noises sampled in this

[@hwt-ka-pth]

Now you mention, does remind me of the time I visited an old historical museum while in Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia. Not quite kept abreast of the times but (almost) every museum is a good museum nonetheless. Please excuse me for I'm possibly using a strange or outdated phrase but it's all the translator site is offering me :p

[@anibalmunoz2992]

i think the dinosaur noises sampled deviate from this purpose, as theyre actually very different from the typical hollywood roar/growl. that and the retarded small hands the trex on the cover has.

[@Tsotha]

I thought something similar, that it has a similar atmosphere as old "lost world" adventure movies like the original 1930s King Kong

[@dudeondope9458]

I like everything about that, besides the human part I miss dinosaurs being depicted as monsters and the sheer terror they induced into 7 yr old me. It was a whole different sensation

[@PoisonInc]

It really does give me the vibe of the really old books I inherited as a kid, and films like One Million Years BC.

[@xoruk7451]

This rattles me to the core I slip into an utter state of subconscious. It's quite strange. I'm right here, sitting, staring blankly into a wall. But my pupils have dilated and my mind has been transported to a different era. I can feel every vibration, every bone rattling frequency as the behemoths blare. I..-I have only seen their mere skeletons, dead remains. But somehow, they're right before me, fleshed out. These imposing brutes. The sheer primal strength and might their forms radiate just overburdens my mind. The tyrants of a by gone era are here. And they're coming for me.

My favourite dino was always T-rex. Man I was obsessed with dinosaurs at around the ages 7-10. Collected so many figurines, watched all the Land Before Time movies, wanted to be an archaeologist when I grew up (yeah I even knew of the word back then), and was totally fascinated by the asteroid and cataclysmic event that wiped them out.
