    The Craving For Long To Really Long Songs

    in General Psytrance

    Posted

    Some godly long tracks off the top of my mind. I love long the tracks, the great intro...builds..body...climax and outro! :clapping:

     

    Paradise Connection - Source of Emotion (21:32) - This is the mother and father and brother and sister of all long tracks.

     

    Koxbox - Doktor Mesmer (10:45)

     

    Sound Pollution - Where (9:46)

     

    The Pleiadians - Maia (11:10)

     

    Akasha Project - Electric Church (11:07)

    Kindzadza - Waves from Inner Space

    I find both Kindzadza and Psykovsky's style to be too much of the "noisy" and "chaotic" to be to my liking.

     

    you tried Schizm already?

     

    Another one in the same vain, pure psychedelic experimental crazy music:

     

    Psy Harmonics 3 - Hacking the Reality Myth

    Schizm the comp right? It was great, full of funky, groovy psy that had me bouncing.

     

    I didn't like Hacking the Reality Myth all that much.

     

    Hey Karan, check out OOOD's last two albums "Free Range" and "Fourthought"... made to be just good psychedelic dance music. No darkpsy cliches here, but a wide variety of moods and tempos, and pretty trippy with it. The albums come from a psytrance angle but venture quite a way off to the side!

    I sure will. You made Unconscious Collective - Fluorostani Transcendance right? Its the perfect example of what I'm looking for :)

    Yeah, you do for all those suggestions =P But there were such a whole lot of suggestions that its going to take me time to listen to all of them. Of the 5 I've heard...

     

    Tandu - Multimoods

    Good but no great, I think its not my style. However I heard it a long time ago, so its up for relisten.

     

    Derango - Tumult

    Great album, its a real experience with all the stuff being thrown around. But its definitely dark.

     

    Psykovsky - Debut

    I liked the first few tracks but after that it just became the usual darkpsy, so I didn't like it.

     

    Infected Mushroom - The Gathering / Classical Mushroom

    Yup, these albums are good stuff, but they aren't psychedelic enough. They aren't crazy, they're somewhat like tranquilized psy.

     

    Sandman - Witchcraft

    Yesss!! Now we're talking. This album is great!!

     

    I will definitely hear all of your suggestions, given a lil bit of time :)

    Isn't M.E.E.O. - Highlight Me Please Psy Glitch?

    Err...I guess you guys know what glitch is?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glitch_(music)

    http://www.last.fm/tag/glitch

     

    It just sounded glitchy to me, I didn't mean to kick up a storm :unsure: I suppose the whole point of genres is to understand the music, instead of saying "I like this and this and this" you can just say I like that genre. Besides, I thought it was interesting to see (what I think is) glitch and psy mixing :ph34r:

     

    Maybe the world is sick of genres, I just got a rather negative reply to an attempt to figure out techno (don't ask) on another site.

    Emotion and Sound

    in General Psytrance

    Maybe sounds that were threatning in our enviroment, like a deep growl, when used in a track in the form of bass appear sad or depressing?

     

    While higher pitched sounds are associated with happiness? Like laughter is generally high-pitched? Or say church bells tolling, they're higher frequency.

     

    Maybe thats just the way we developed systems to seperate threatning and non-threatning sounds.

    Nice suggestions, I'm checking them all out.

     

    The Domi Pastor - Immortality is turning out to be really good.

     

    I'd also like to add Children of Paradise - Urban Alien to my original list.

     

    ... ...looks to me you're looking for older albums in general......good hunting..

    I'm not really looking for older stuff, even though the examples I posted were old. I'm actually look for psy, not goa, which doesn't fit in any category because its just so out there =) For me Deranger and Dragon Tales aren't goa but psy.

    female voices

    in General Psytrance

    Posted

    Binah - Crescend Suns its Simon plus Michele if I remember correctly, can be found on the comp spiritual worlds and shamanic beats

    Royksoop - What else is there? its proggy house but nice

     

    My favourite female vocal is actually a sort of primal weird vocal sample from middle of The Nommos - Amma

     

    On Hibernation - Some Things Never Change, #5 has some vocals at the end rather jazzy.

    I'm looking for albums that are just psychedelic, not full-on or dark or whatever. I've found that they generally tend to be good. Examples of what I'm looking for are -

     

    Hallucinogen - The Lone Deranger

    Koxbox - Dragon Tales

    Crop Circles - Tetrahedron

    Ubar Tmar - Macrometasomakosmos

    Domi Pastor - Immortality (tends towards full-on in parts but is still good)

    Space Tribe - Thru the Looking Glass - this full-on-ey but its not bassline oriented+same old synths, inside relying on the heavy use of acid, really trippy stuff

    Very Futuristic PsyTrance

    in General Psytrance

    Posted

    I actually felt that these 2 albums had a futuristic feel to them in parts, a sort of cyberpunk-ish, futuristic, minimal but not tech-ish feel.

     

    Har-el Prussky - Pagan Moon Child (1995) - Sleepwalker is my fav track

    Children of Paradise (X-Dream sideproject) - Urban Alien (1997) - New Cop is my fav track

    Recommend me fast, Hard hitting breaks/DnB

    in Other Electronica

    Posted

    You should definitely check out:

     

    Breaks:

    Front Line Assembly - Backlash (industrial with a frenzy of breaks) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMTaXVAe0Do

    Front Line Assembly - Buried Alive (hard and fast DnB/Industrial) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzR53DbL2rs

    Noise Unit - Liberation (nice drums on this track, unfortunately not on YT)

    Noise Unit - The Drain (not on YT, but one of the tracks that got me into the genre)

    Moby - James Bond Theme (a bit smoother but nevertheless very energetic) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P79cVnDmzB0

    Expansion Union - Playing with Lightning (one of the best heavy breaks tracks ever!!!)

    Prodigy - Firestarter (for obvious reasons) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28ow4TLMTqM

     

    DnB:

    Current Value - Dark Rain (this is pure DnB, but what a great dark anthem, and how sick drumsounds!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiTazePDkqk

    Unknown Error - Exit (so much detail in this track!)

    Noisia - Block Control (one of the tracks that got me into DnB, if youre looking for high energy, look no further)

    Black Sun Empire - Arrakis (has been mentioned already, but this is THE alltime classic) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUuvIi3UFK4

     

    and to conclude this, a track by me... a mix of metal, industrial and DnB at extreme speed: "Human Error"

    The stuff I heard of your suggestions were great, and I liked your track a lot, it had a great video too!

    I really liked FLA's Backlash!

     

    Nah. D'n'B can have loads of complicated beats. The main characteristic of the genre is, imo, the "intellectualisation" of jungle. Less furious screaming jamaicans, less blatantly party-influenced atmospheres. More chilled out and contemplative, but still very fast.

    Now that I've heard more DnB I agree with you:)

     

    I think I like the Neurofunk sub genre, Dieselboy's Human Resource is Neurofunk right? Anyone have any Neurofunk suggestions?
