as for freq cd.. It was very nice at the time it came out.. has nice productions, well made, good for dancefloor.. but freq started releasing too much of the same, and thats why I got bored with it...
I cant see why people like full on and oldschool so much.. I think its really annoying..
so I guess its just taste
best prog for me is antix, beckers, phony orphants, chable, etc...
-

so I heard the new ticon.. what can I say, its veeeery nice
some tracks stand out very much.. 2 or so are nothing so special
2 tracks that simply kick major ass, top killarghs of the moment are
'in stereo' (very different track, sometimes sounds as if it was 'backwards' or something... awesome)
and 'you make me wanna drink more' (perfect party stormer, full powaaaa, a la dnox and beckers)
and others which I didnt have much time to check out and remember the name yet hehe...
but its a very nice cd for sure
-
yes and its a beautiful one
what?! u nuts.. hahah no really, there are only 2 (maybe 3, counting track 5, but not really) tracks with vocals, and only one track (hiding place) uses the vocal in a major way...
check the cd out please, and then you decide if you like or not
I dont really care what definition it gets.. its very psychedelic imo, very visual, very atmospheric, great music, and works well with the 'psy' crowd that are a bit more open to the progressive side
Somebody mentioned the new Sub 6 remixes that were released on VP. For me, that is another example of really poorly-treated vocals. They sound like somebody doing a really bad impression of Björk. The Ticon remix is fantastic, musically, but the way the vocal is used *almost* makes me not want to play it. Almost.....
Somebody mentioned Xibalba - for me, they are a wonderful example of how I like to hear vocals done in prog/psy. More a part of the track rather than trying to soar over & beyond the music.
As for sub6 remixes... I think the remixes (specially andre absolut and ticon) made the track shine very much.. I think those are great tracks.. as for the vocals, well, I would say they are pretty 'catchy'.. I dont think they are awesomely beautiful at all, but they are quite 'catchy' and work good...
as for xibalba, well, Im sick of prog psy in their style so I guess i would be kinda biased to talk about them
and yeah, there are some house producers that really know how to make vocals... but there are some really bad ones too..
later I will gather some names and write here
-
that poll is total crap imo.. basically only killarghs, which is understandable since we're talking about isratrance... not to mention the fact that in the end all results get deleted and only the 'most voted' are there.. which sucks because the good thing about these tops is that you see some artists you like in someone's list, and you see other artists you dont know about in the same list, and sometimes it happens that you really like these other names you didnt know... and if only the 'pop tops' are available, its bullshit...
yes, shpongle cd is crap.. there are many other chill cds that are much better
well no 1 so far is kaya project - elixir
rest i have to think of,, theres billion chill collections with few great tracks and rest totally meaningles in from other ear out from other leving nothing behind example va - albedo, va - portal of perception, va - soul vibration, va - quality relaxation, va - earth octave lounge 2, va - dissolving clouds, va - chill on this, va - chill on that etc etc ,, maybe my taste on chill has became too selective but thats how i see it
I agree, towelie, that many chill cds have some very nice tracks and some really meaningless crappy tracks, so the cds do not stand out...
so my top cds for this year for now is
Antix - tcd
Kaya Project - elixir
-
lets see what happens...
-
I dont want to stream, shitty speakers in the computer (and my headphones are packed, travelling in a couple of hours)... waste of music hehe
gonna dwnload it so I can listen elsewhere...
ticon always rocked... they are one of the very few artists that can make fast music that I enjoy...
-
too electro house? snobish 80´s music?
damn, I might really like this one
-
well, you can call it ´destroyargh´, for a change
cool! gonna check out the samples as soon as I return from travelling next tuesday (headphones already packed)
and the dnox number one remixes, im quite curious about those ones too
-
it still remains: you cant have a psychedelic state without psychedelics... you may gain a bigger level of understanding, you may learn more about yourself, you may be in a hypnotique deep trance state, but YOU DO NOT KNOW PSYCHEDELIC STATES WITHOUT PSYCHEDELICS
as I said, it doesnt mean its a bad thing, and neither a good thing.. thats subjective and relative..
and the understanding issue as I said just depends on your concept of understanding.. tell me whats understanding first...
-
obviously it depends on your concept of understanding... if understanding for someone means: ´the ability to perceive and compare with psychedelic states´ or whatever thing like that, then you cant understand.. if understand means ´enjoy, etc etc´, then you can understand.. firstly we need to define whats psychedelic or not
you misunderstood me.. i didnt say you CANT get into a deep and trancy state without psychedelics.. I say its definitely not in the same way, in the same level, with the same characteristics and same levels of perception, etc..
not really... you are making many assumptions here.. you disregard many possibilities, like the fact that the subjective states of perception, like under the influence of psychedelics, can be deeply connected with certain specific functions of substances in the brain.. and without these substances there isnt even the potential of arriving at that same state, only the potential of arriving at other states... dont know if you get what I mean
-
yes im definitely curious about it, nice news
-
if you dont take psychedelics, you will not have perceived the music (or the world) with that certain state of consciousness.. that is a fact.. no, dont say you will get the same thing whether you have taken psychedelics or not...
the question is: Is the understanding after or during the effect of psychedelics better or more true than the normal sober state?
and reger...
"but it doesnt mean that deep states of trance and consciousness cant be reached without drugs " nope, sorry, you cannot reach the same deep states of trance and consciousness without psychedelics... anyone who has taken it will realize how different it is from any experience you might have had normally..
with hard work on yourself, certain combined stimulus, etc,etc, you may even increase reach different levels of understanding... but these are definitely not the same as with psychedelics...
again, Im not saying that it means those who have not taken it are worst or anything like that.. values such as 'worst or better' are subjective and relative.. but its definitely not the same.
-
praising... that would mean putting something or someone in a god-like position ?
then I dont praise anything...
but if you mean: ´enjoying very very very very very very much´ , then I would say the same names I said in the ´your fav artists still making music today´... chable, antix, beckers, kaya project, vibrasphere and ott
-
iboga, hadshot, nervine, sprout, hadshot, saw, baroque, etc are all top class labels imo
and for chill, my favs are dakini, interchill and LSD
-
fking hard to pick all time favourite... sorry but at least the psy is gonna have to be the favourite in the moment
trance - antix - forever changing
other - .... bob marley - dreamland (I almost chose some jimmy hendrix one, but...)
-
-
-
-
Any possible release date for ott?! thats all I want to know
if they say ´next summer´, we know it means ´the other winter´ or ´in 2 summers from now´
edit: yeah good news, thanks hehe
-
I second that
and it works on all situations.. home, party, stoned, straight, tripping, before sex, after sex, during sex, with friends, alone, whatever
-
sounds nice... not the most amazing thing I ever heard in my life, but definitely not just another prog-psy track
-
oh no, not 220v please.... I kill myself if I hear that
and one of the guys there has such an attitude of ´I know whats up with trance, i´ve been to europe´ that I almost puke to deathwrecked machines? well, their tracks are nice until 0:47... then it goes downhill, mount everest speed
(ok ok I gotta stop criticising so much... the evil Critical Alien is taking over me today)

New Ticon
in General Psytrance
Posted
yeah its a very nice cd.. some tracks, though, like ´in the dirt´ dont stand out, are a bit average (too straight bassline, like old prog).. so its not a 100% perfect cd... but some tracks stand out a lot, like ´in stereo´ and ´you make me wanna drink more´ and a couple of others I forgot...
So summing up: I would def buy it if I had money and if my orders wouldnt get lost all the fking time
and the 2 tracks I mentioned, in stereo and make me wanna drink more, both passed the ´acid test´, and with merit haha
