kettel-Teacup and Pistolette
-
I'm sorry, but apart of PERSONNAL nostalgic trance I love, trance sucks.
-
mean, mean fanI, personally, believe that it is because that single is kind of the peak of that era of psytrance and Simon knows that he'll never top it. So Simon focuses on other projects.
-
yes I know, but I always thought that the songs beast was good because of porsford. The songs on mystery of the yeti is known by me for for like 4 years, but I had never tought to go see who did it (stupid of me, I know)Process has 2 albums out, One Drop or Two? and Superior Technology.
Sean Williams is a great psychedelic musician who definitely took sounds to a new level.
His early work with Pete 'Slide' Martin as Satori were all very instrumental in my early days of Goa back in 1995/96/97.
His work with Tristan around that era are also highly encouraged.
All of Sean's solo work is top of the line, proper UK style psytrance with great attention to analog synths.
A while back he stopped focusing on psytrance and was working on some great chill out jazz stuff with a group called The Mystery School Ensemble. Great great work with that project and some wonderful music.
Since then he has been working on a project called Monosynth Orchestra. It is a freeform experimental sound collage type act that is really awesome. If you like noise and drone music, you'd like them.
Sean gets out from time to time to drop an occasional DJ set for people, but he can be a bit of a recluse in his academic pursuits of sound.
But, I totally agree, if you don't have any of his work, you are truly missing out.
You'll notice that the Beast 12" that Sean did with Simon Posford was really the last psytrance that Simon made. I, personally, believe that it is because that single is kind of the peak of that era of psytrance and Simon knows that he'll never top it. So Simon focuses on other projects.
Wow thaks about the specification, how come on discogs, we dont see that he made 2 albums, or its just me who didnt checked well.
anywas, ill get everything he have done, he really really really suits my taste, like, he's going to surpass everyone I love, except posford and kettel of course.

haha, dude, i'm listening right now to Creepy Crawly-Process And Slide with my mate, and we really have a hard time believe that this guys is not freaking known, and that he didnt make any album, he's a genius really.You should just post in French and let us translate
Just kidding, listening to "Under Mount Kailash" now... -
I sure hope he willWow. Just wow. I am late to the party on this one, but what a ride. This is the definition of evolution of sound. At no point in this disc is it boring or cliche. Some of the voice effects I could've done without, but never did it make me dislike a track. The first and last track are on a whole other plane of awesome and the middle is mostly sublime.
I never really got the appeal of Shpongle until this album. Having had my eyes opened, I shall listen to his previous albums with this new all seeing eye.
Great work. How do you top something like this?

DAMN! he's just like posford, can't believe I didnt knew that guy.
their full-on style is really alike, like to alike to be true, less complicated, but really the same feeling, something is living into his songs.
Annways, for every posford folks, Process, who had appeared on mystery of the yeti for instance (crazy song by the way, and he did a couple more!) needs to be rediscovered!
never been this excited honestly since posford. cryogen is just a masterpiece, a freakin bomb.
Check this out folks! http://www.discogs.com/artist/Sean+Williams
cheers

yes you do, lol, i'll check him out!Holy crap, I guess the ever changing trends have left me a tad behind, but it wasn't up until a few days ago that I gave the remastered, 2xCD version of Ulrich Schnauss freshman album, "Far Away Trains Passing Buy" a proper listen... Damn. It sounds about four to five times better than it did back in 2001, and in addition to that, the extra CD is a treasure chest!
Some of his melodies are cherubic, and... nothing more, just that, as if it wasn't enough
The harmony he forges and evokes in his tracks at times even surpasses production from soulful electronic music luminaries such as Carl Craig or Suburban Knight. Really dreamy music this guy makes. Not for frequent plays, but when I am in the mood, I can hardly think of anything more suitable.
But I guess I ain't givin' any breaking news folks, am I?

hey Ritual om, well my top 10 is pretty much the best i've heard in electronica IDM style and I've listen to mostly anything that's been released in IDM (I'm in a IDM forum too:yeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
It certainly is.
Any more suggestions?
Look really into wisp, besides his new album, everything he have done is dope. you can find all of his first album free (he's giving them!): one word, well two: wisp makes CANDY music, really fun, addictive, corny, but fuck it, we all love corny sometimes. Best break beats artist I've heard, emotion on the rendez-vous!
Kettel: actually my favorite electronica artist of all time, his best albums are through friendly waters, whisper me wishes, my dogan, myam james part 1 and volleiyed iron, but honestly, everything he has done is a masterpieces , even his first super old school albums. You have to check out all of his remixes, such as Zalig zijn de armen van geest (Kettel remix) but he had done maybe 25 remixes, and they are mostly just perfect imo. Percussion and melodic wise, he's just unequaled. I cant listen to his song and only concentrate about his percussion, and I'm not even able to completely understand what he does, really special feeling, and then, when you start understand his percussion, his melodies are just epic really. Kettel is what I was waiting for to hear all my life, no joke.

(this songs is my least favorite from through friendly waters, but still, pretty interesting isn't it! youtube and their taste hein)Aphex twin: It takes time to really get it, at least for me, but once you do, you will have no choice but to say that he's a genius: really weird style, sometimes too hard, sometimes weird. Aphex twin uses something as I would qualify as sucky sounds, weird and not necessarily pleasant sound. Percussion wise, he's ALMOST as good as kettel, really unique melodies, creepy sometimes, fun fun fun. nothing fancy with aphex, he's throwing at you some kind of a weird but logic music, anyways. recommendation: I Care Because You Do, Drukqs, saw2 reworked

really, some aphex twin stuff is just to weird for me, so a lot is crap as far as i'm concerned
Those 3 are my favorite.
Then, theres
Burial
the flashbulb (not perfect, he's trying too much) but from him, benn jordan, I simply LOVE his project human action network. This album is a classic one in the acid IDM side. the last 5-6 songs of his album is great!
Tycho
Finally, here's a wisp remix from an aphex twin song: this songs is the definition of IDM music for me, this is exaclty what I love about idm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IajlDKbqFAs&feature=related

also the first released on 2010 for Tympanik Audio with Candle Nine/The Muse In The Machine is nice
-
besides a COUPLE of tracks out of freakin 200, theres no cheesyness in posford music.I do like wine and cheese! I like those artists, but they are cheesy. My main gripe with Hallucinogen is that most others don't see the cheese fest there....
listen to transwave, now thats some cheese
-
all I know, is that technically, what posford do, hasnt been done by anyone else (psytrance wise). just his drums and percussion kills everything I have heard.
-
a new aphex twin for 2010 is on the way
-

MFG can not be considered dark goaMFG is dark goa?! didn't i listen carefully enough? i always had the impression that MFG sounds similar to Astral Projection, just a little harder or wilder.
-
Thnaks a lot, I dont know why, but I never tought the old psytrance was THAT good
Shame on me: the thing is, I've listen to some albums like old old eat static, or koxbox, or logic bomb, and it didnt made me freak out in the first place, but now, I feel like if i'm ready to listen to mostly all the old classics, and find some hidden treasure!!!!
I dont like Hux-flux.
Thanks for the suggestions, and keep them coming!!!!
And for some weird reason all the pystrance I know and listen is from pre-2000
-
well maybe then, I associate astral projection and pleaidians to goa, and I'm not a fan of those artist.... maybe I like goa, not a fan of certain artist...suggestions?Confused. You don't like GOA and you were blasted by the TIP old CD's ?
-
Completely new! I know everything thats come out since 2000, but before that, im a virgin! Apart the stuff made by hallucinogen.so you're completely new to this oldschool stuff? just want to be sure before i bore you with suggesting well known releases.
I dont LOVE pleaidians tough, I dont really like GOA.
-
Hi psyfreaks!
For the first time, ive listen to all the old compilation releases by tip record, and OH my FUCKIN god, this IS psytrance! I now understand all the fuss about the old psytrance being better than the shit that is coming out nowadays.
So, what album should I get next???
-
the worst music hahahahaha1200 mics is the worst music i ever downloaded and Shpongle is the worst music i ever bought
-
apples and orangesMeh actually I've had the Burial album in my "don't like" pile for quite a while now. Listened to it again after reading this thread and still don't see what the fuss is about. Its overall just too calm and unengaging, I like my stuff with a bit more umph. But I guess that if you're the kind of guy who's into progressive than this should do (progressive dubstep? lol).
As for the "who makes better dubstep" question, well Bar 9 is my personal favorite of the moment (of course his stuff has about as much in common with Burial as full-on has with progressive, but anyway).

+1, in fact, may be the best album of the decades for me, or almost, in terms of psy ...
-
isnt it the other way around, the layers needs to fit with the basslines, rather then the bassline need to fit with the layers.derango
but really... a baseline is really hard (impossible) to judge on its own, to be truly awesome it has to fit the other layers perfectly
it's the synergy that works for me
What music are you listening to right now?
in General Psytrance
