  1. Ive explored the genre quite a lot. Here's some of my favs!

     

    Iron galaxy I really like all his stuff and listen regularly and also Donatto dozzy though we cannot call his music deep house. the end of this track kills me!

     

    Is jon hopkins considered deep house?

     

    Moodyman is a classic of course

     

    I also dig this album

     

    the new kiasmos is fucking great!

     

    The new Floating points is mind blowing!

     

    Finally!

  2. I still like Aphex Twin, but it seems as I grow older, I prefer more and more his ambient stuff or his early tracks like On, Polynomial-C, Xtal, ect. IMO, everything he did before 1998 is very special. Definetely one of the greatest but his recent work leave me cold appart form a couple of gems like Metz, the tuss.

    I think his best work since 1998 has been Analords.

  3. well, kettel is my first recommendation. BOC, aphex twin, autechre, are pretty much my top list

     

    my taste have quite changed since this thread, but Kettel remained number one

     

    actual liste would be:

    1-kettel

    2- Boards of canada

    3- Aphex

    4-Autechre

    5-Arca

     

    cheers

  4. I was 16 years old. I was using weed for maybe a couple of weeks maximum.

     

    Ill always remember that day and that situation. We were in the lunch break at school and we had just somked. it was in 2002 or 2003 im not sure. My friend put me Never Ever Land in my ears. Whoa I was completely freaking out. It was the time where we had disc players! He led me Bp empire and that was it. For a couple years I listened to IM (they were great back then). Then I started with magic mushrooms and shpongle hit me right in the face.

     

    I dont listen often to psytrance but I owe everything to psy. It helped my ears a lot. I have learn to listen to details in the music.

     

    Now I listen mostly only to jazz. Might sound awkward but I think that jazz is super psychadelic and super mind blowing especially on drugs.

     

    couple of suggestions:

    the coltrane impulse records are all stellar and imo totally psychadelic...

  5. yes man indeed

    i dont understund why some guys think that Simon's production is top of the top

    Shpongle vs FSOL is a funny mistake compare

    Simon's production vs FSOL production is the BIGGER joke i heard so far

    COME ON guys psy ''reality-state-scene'' has nothing to do with reality dont make general conclusions just because u love psy-goa sound

     

    ohhh, thanks for the enlightenment

    What are you even talking about?

     

    WHAT!!!! Simon production is top notch. It's quite evident that simon production are way more precise, more open sound, depht, clarity. FSOL clearly lacks of clarity, its like everything is behind. Thats only my opinion, but its not a JOKE to compare simon to FSOL production.

     

    Of course, if you compare the fisrt thing posford did, the production is not perfect at all.

     

    But are you shpongle, eclipse and then younger brother kicks the hell of FSOL production

  6. haha, boards of canada belong in this poll.

     

    Funny how taste change with years passing by; When I was younger, I was aiming for top production, twisted sounds, crazy patterns, ect. Now, I'm totally going toward the groovy, smokey vibe. so my vote goes for FSOL, but this poll isnt fair.

     

    I'm sorted of sick of the shpongle project, much prefer the first couple projects Posford did before shpongle. Shpongle is trying to hard sometimes, doesnt make the music breath by itself enough. Still love's some shpongle sometimes, but MUCH MUCH prefer his ambient stuff. To be totally honest, I think that simon posford is probably the most talented musician. I feel he could have done so much more when he was in the 90's. He could have went in plenty of direction, but after the flock of bleeps, he lost focus or something?

     

    I think that if we rename this poll: Posford vs FSOL, result would change...

     

    Posford really kill fsol production wise imo. He's really the master to just make you drench into a psychedelic journey but at the same time it's his problem. FSOL don't give a damn, they dont try "a tout prix" to fuck with your head because they already do, anyways...

     

     

    Gotta love that dead skin cells beat!

  7. hi penzoline.

     

    IT really depends on how much you want to spend.

     

    On the cheap side, for headphnes, the audiotechnica ath-m50 are the best bang for the buck in the headphones department: here's a thread talking about those. Bit flat on the midrange, but nothing dramatic:

    http://www.gearslutz.com/board/so-much-gear-so-little-time/168217-audio-technica-ath-m50-headphones-awesome.html

     

    Okay, about speakers. there's always the monitors option. I have some focal's cms 50, but they are costly, around 1200 the pair.

     

    I use nowadays, and prefer a different option. The vintage one. You will find at audiokarma forum, the most big audiophile site around. I just picked up a realistic sta-2080 with some dynaco's A25 for nearly 200$. I must tell you that I prefer this setup for all kinf of music, compared to even my "studio" setup.

     

    Dynaco's A25 were built in the seventies. They are I thinik the most sold speakers of all time. The drivers are the best ever made. The Seas twitters seriously kicks ass.I know some audiophiles that dropped their high-end speakers in favor of some 100$ A25. The midrange on the dynaco is so musical, it's a beautiful sounding speaker:

    Anyways, you can find a lot of info on here:

    http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-36374.html

     

    Oh yeah, don't forget to buy the cd versions or at least FLAC quality, because well, mp3 sucks.

     

    If I were you, I would not get a modern speaker if you don'T have the money. you should pay around 500$ a pair a monitors to have a more then decent sound, Then add a sound card for direct x quality, but still...

     

    cheers

  8. not goa, but soulgasm-nystagmus is probably one of the best melodies in psytrance imo.

    I'm blown away each time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmR641ZY1Sg

     

    One? ONE???

     

    Shit.

     

    I'm tempted to go with the classic "Mahadeva", but I guess I'll go with this one:

     

     

    The melody starts about 3:00 and gets super awesome about 6:00.

     

    yes, this is the best that comes in mind in terms of goa, end of the thread :). There's so much to choose from, psycho is one of them for sure, the arpeggiator that starts at about 3 minutes in L.S.D comes in mind too; I know, it's just an arpeggiator, but my god!
  9. What is ingenious about "lifeforms" and "the gathering"? One-word generic names.

     

    It's some beautiful names, connected to the subject of their music, and to psychadelic in general.

     

    Sometime "generic" names are the most effective.

  10. I have two definitions of "classic"

     

    One is a general classic and that is something that is still popular a long time after it was first popular. Examples are Mozart, Elvis & The Beatles.

     

    The other is a personal classic and this is something that the individual still aodres after a long time. Examples for me are Atmos - Klein aber Doctor, Solar Fields - Air Song (I have no a good one hour mix of this track) and Secede - Friday Fall as well as many many more.

     

    Popular classics I am not too bothered about and I am not worried about why I like my personal ones but I still love them years after I first heard them so they are my classics.

     

    Right now I am listening to

    :D

     

    friday fall! A classic.

     

    A classic is something too personal too be able to qualified it. I can define what I mean by a classic, but it's likely to be different for another person. B.P. Empireis a classic for me, but because I started my psychedelic journey with this album, so its likely to be different for someone else.

     

    Like abasio said, there's the common classic album, and those that are classic for us personnaly. Dave matthews band-crash into me is a classic, and I doubt a lot of people consider it classio.

     

    For me, a classic album is an album that brought something GOOD and ORIGINAL to the music scene, otherwise, its just a good album of psytrance, while hallucinogen twisted is a classic: he brought something the scene didnt expect. Something new.

  11. any good psychedelic freeware out there???

     

    i need something to either give me a good psychedelic effect on an electric guitar or a good psytrance synth for the keyboard

     

    psychedelic freeware - psychedelic freeware - psychedelic freeware. Sound like a song track :D

     

    vague question.anything from a phaser to a delay can be psychedelic you just need to know how to use the plugins. You can even use just your DAW plugs and get a psychadelics effet.

     

    Sorry for the 3 post :blink:
