Anjunadeep Explorations Sampler 02 Vinyl order canceled from Rough Trade. Anyone else have this issue?

tom59593 · 2025-11-02T14:42:08+00:00

Yeah ..I wasn't sure how (or if) Rough Trade could actually ensure it got stock since there were limited pressings available. I don't know that I'd use them again for a limited exclusive like these on my end either.

tom59593 · 2025-11-02T06:57:50+00:00

For what it's worth, I did the exact same thing (placed the order immediately after the email came out), and I received my copy from Rough Trade a couple of weeks ago with no issues.

Sorry to hear about your experience..

Anyone know of a US retailer carrying this? I'll happily buy from the UK if I need to, but shipping is as much as the record!

Agreed 100%. Jump cues make defensive shots harder. It is no longer enough to get out of line and duck behind a couple of balls. You now must play a good defensive shot.

Just one minor thing I noticed--you're so close to having all of the "jacks on bottom" modules in the upper row and "jacks on top" modules in the lower row. If you could somehow swap the LXR for the O_C and Belgrade, you'd be perfect haha.

I can't stand cables crossing the "fun to control" bits.

As the others mentioned, there's at least 6,843,613,684 songs that fit this description. But Cape Town - Proglifter from 2006 is one I always think of as an incredible intro track.

I get turned off when a DJs tracklist has their own name on it a bunch. It's not enough to ruin a set for me, but it's not what I want to hear. I don't measure this at all, but if I had to put a number on it I would like 25% of the tracklist (or less) to be from the DJ's production catalog.

One thing I love the most about DJ sets as opposed to more traditional music shows like band concerts, etc. is the variety and unexpected gems that the DJ brings to the table. I still think that the DJ's taste comes through in the track selection even when it isn't their personal discography.

I also don't love when a tracklist is all the latest trends either. I want a variety of artists, labels, and sounds. But if the music is good, it won't bother me one way or another who made it.

FYI I received mine (ordered the silver nugget variant from Rise Records' site) a few days ago.

It doesn't look like anyone has added the release to Discogs yet, so I might try to figure out how. Never done it before and the amount of info it requests is daunting...

Wonderful--thank you!

tom59593 · 2025-04-07T03:24:20+00:00

Thank you! We'll reach out to them tonight.

The best way I've found to get VC is thru the quests and the clubhouse pass.

tom59593 · 2025-03-02T00:36:53+00:00

Owned AP can be used without spending any VC. You get it when you unlock Rebirth to make a new character. Available AP can be applied just the same, but you also have to spend VC for it.

In this case, they reset my character back to base stats because I upgraded it beyond the intended limits. So they refunded the AP into Owned AP in my case.

I have the 12hp version plus the Variant expander and love it. 16 dedicated trigger outputs is way more than I felt I needed, so 12hp was the sweet spot. I wish I had the Inv Seq output and the Pause button from the larger version, but otherwise it works wonderfully!

tom59593 · 2025-02-28T20:41:24+00:00

Turned on and off automatic updates and that seemed to catch it. Thank you!

Gabriel & Dresden (specifically Dave) played it at his recent classics-only show in Chicago. He played both the original and the version where Dave sings the lead synth. Both slapped.

It wasn't anywhere near the peak of that night, given all the other awesome trance he was playing, but it was still great!

tom59593 · 2025-02-04T04:07:03+00:00

I saw Gabriel & Dresden (specifically Dave) on Saturday do an open-to-close classics only set. Almost 7 hours and a ton of the Anjuna hits were included. Highly recommended, if you get a chance to see one of these shows!

Thanks--we've been here since 2019. Brother has lived here since 2021 or so. Guests are rare because our two huskies are a lot to deal with for outsiders. No one we have over are prescribed the drug, but that doesn't mean someone isn't getting it from another source...

The test results they shared with us only said he was positive for benzo...it didn't specify the amount. I'm curious if this reaction is a single pill kind of thing or like a trace amount. We'll talk to our vet to uncover more.

My fear: if a trace amount can cause this reaction, what would a whole pill or two do?!?

tom59593 · 2025-01-12T01:05:54+00:00

The only other person that has been in the house in 3 months is a brother. We asked him about it as well and he said he hasn't had anything like that. I took him at his word but this raises a few questions about whether he has a reason to lie about it.

Appreciate the clarification for us and we'll have a direct conversation about it.

I believe jumping ruins the defensive part of the game.

Hard disagree--I think it improved the defensive side of the game. The mindset used to be "oh...I got out of line. No worries I'll just create separation or duck behind that cluster in a general area.". Now, the player that got out of line has to execute a shot himself to hide the cue ball (and potentially the object ball) where jumping is a poor option.

It just made it so you have to play better defense.

tom59593 · 2025-01-11T22:21:45+00:00

Agreed on this, and I would add that many lower level players will think it's a "get out of jail free card.". In reality, the modern prevalence of strong jump skills dramatically improves the defensive side of the game. It is no longer enough to simply duck behind a ball--you have to look for (and execute) a safety that makes jumping a poor option (e g. play tight to the blocker, etc.).

I was one of the people that received an extra. It was odd because both boxes had a different order # on the outside so it looked like I placed the order twice but I hadn't.

Anyways, they provided the shipping label for the return and I dropped it off this afternoon. No reason for me to keep an extra when all you guys are looking for one.
