A new Hallucinogen track and zero replies. This forum is pretty much dead.

I agree 0:50-2:21 doesn't sound like typical AP, but the rest could be AP. I've sent a message to Avi Nissim @ FB and asked him about the track. Not expecting a reply, but worth a try.

Hallucinogen & Supermodule - Kaleidosonic. I just love Simon's basslines. Release date is today, but it's neither available on Spotify nor Soundcloud. ...and now it's been published at Youtube:

It's a great track, but I doubt it's an Astral Projection track from 2003. It's not reminiscent of their sound back then. If it is a 20 year old AP track I think we should have heard it in their live sets. I could be of their newer tracks, at least I'm hoping it is. Hopefully that talked about upcoming album will be released, and this track will be on it. Or maybe it has been reworked into another track. I'm just guessing, nevertheless, great track!

How about 27 years? Pretty much anything old compared to anything new will have deeper bassline and a more pronounced kick drum.

I've made the playlist public in case anyone wants to follow it.

I was planning on creating a post just like yours. 🙂 Lunarave is the best thing to happen to psytrance in many years, his sound is actually psychedelic and there are some minor melodies sprinkled all over. His sound and technique has really developed over the years. I personally prefer his current sound (think Transmigration album and onward) over this older tracks. I've been following him for a couple of years and I have playlist with what I consider to be his best tracks: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/14aSgFTOuBrfavqh5iVleO?si=61c08f8a4fb34b25&pt=ae5f74c83c23e4a19d3997b9d2b1e7a8

Has anyone read this thesis / book about race and psychedelic trance? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1186918.Psychedelic_White

I visit once a week and I try to reply and create new topics when ever I have something to contribute.

I just stumbled over this excellent banger: It's credited as being a Darshan track from 1998, but it's not a released Darshan track. He was very popular back in the day so I doubt a banger such as this one would remain unreleased. Especially since both DAT Records, Suntrip Records and Anjuna Records are on a mission to dig up unreleased rare tracks. The track doesn't sound like his known released tracks from that era. Maybe it's something (unreleased?) by ECT, Microdome or Psychogenetic Soundforce. Anyway, excellent track! Can anyone identify it? I would love to see it properly released and with better sound quality.

The break at 3.18, the gradual build up and then the explosion at 3.58. Mind blowing every time. It's what psytrance is all about.

Well, Duvdev and Michele Adamson were involved in that attempt, and I want something with only Posford and Aizen. 🙂

Did you just enter a prompt for a psytrance track thinking psynews.org is a psy music making AI? In case it works, here are some prompts from me: Make a psytrance track that sounds like it was made by Simon Posford and Erez Aizen around year 2000. No inspiration from Duvdev is allowed. Make a psytrance track that sounds like it was made by Hux Flux and Process around year 2000. Make a new Shpongle album inspired by the Carnival of Peculiarities EP.

My interest is psychedelic music. Sometimes it happens to align with neogoa and psytrance, but these days I mostly listen to good music from other genres. A handful of releases from the trance scene caught my attention in 2022: I'm usually not a fan of Youth's work, but he did good in 2022. Oh, and I got in to Ovnimoon's music. Really like it. My best psychedelic downtempo discoveries from non psy labels are: I really see no reason to limit yourself to the traditional psy downtempo labels, there's lots of great psy music out there. Emancipator and Palladin are really amazing. For more uptempo music, last years best discovery was polish Rysy Amelie Lens is still the best Follow her mixes and playlists and you'll discover lots of great stuff. Here are my best banging "melodic" techno discoveries from last year: Joris Voorn also did good in 2002. His best mix being this one: Oh, and Charlotte De Witte is always good https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=charlotte+de+2022

Their latest track was released yesterday by Tip Records, and it's a collaboration between Astral Projection and Oforia, and it's just excellent. Let's hope there's more tracks like this one on the mythical upcoming album.

Here's the quote from his Facebook page: The important part being: If he can afford not to perform live and he's happy with that, that's great for him, and a bit sad for the rest of us. A great thing about electronic music is that there are many great djs out there that could make a banging Hallucinogen tribute set and we would be just as happy.

Hallucinogen, Prometheus and Shpongle would be fantastic! I would be more than happy to support a Kickstarter. Keep us updated!

Sounds really promising! Could turn out to be just as excellent as Hallucinogen in dub.

This is what it's all about, three hours of excellence:

I used to feel the same way, but their music has grown on me a lot, these days I consider Sapiential to be one of the best tracks in this genre. This is another favorite, listen to the sound that enters at 3:50, very psychedelic Compared to Shpongle I find Entheogenic to be more postmodern, focusing more on sounds and some melodies and loose structures. Those elements are also part of Shpongle's music, but I think it's evident that Posford is from another era of music making, and also on another level of expertise, still I really like Entheogenic these days.

This is a new Norwegian act that you need to keep your eyes and ears on, really good stuff! Floating, deep, high energy, ever evolving sunrise/sunset psychedelic trance. Enjoy!

Aljanah's debut album Epsilon is the strongest psychedelic downtempo debut in recent years. It's a beautiful soundtrack to sunny autumn days. It will probably be album of the year for me. Kind of reminiscent of Bicep's downtempo tracks, but more mellow, and better. https://aljanah.bandcamp.com/album/epsilon

I'd bet LSD is his most well known track.

That plucky melody sounded sooo trippy back then (still does, imo), combined with the X-dream bassline, the "out here we are stoned" sample and the drop, it was a huge track. 1998, what a year. The Beyond Colour compilation is one of the undisputed masterpieces of this genre. Personally, I've never understood Green Nuns of the Revolution. The only track of theirs I appreciate is Green Nunions, and that's probably because it sounds like a Posford collaboration. It sounds very much like something from his Space Cat collaboration.

RIP! My two favorite tracks of his:
