+1Not at all, and just because it's called psy doesn't neccessarily mean it will be psychedelic
For me psychadelic music doesnt have to be psychadelic in the hallucinogen's or shpongle way. For me psy is any electronica music that i try to analyse (i hope you know what i mean by this expression), but even tough i listen really carefully to the music, too much is going on, its too complicated to fully understand every little details. Electronica that i try to follow one melodie or one bass line, but changes so often that i lose the map, this is my defenition of psy
while trance is pretty obvious melodies, with a pretty clear bass line...etc.
So psy music doesnt have to contain hardcore modified sounds with big special effect to be put in the psychadelic style, but it helps. But the problem now, is that some full-on artist, or whatever israel is bringing on, makes some crazy sounds, the quality now is almost everytime top notch, but it is not enough complex, not enough changes.

yeah, its just pretty boring, i mean its well done and all, but i agree, i find it pretty boringI know this is not a constructive opinion, and some people might put me down for being so direct and bold, but I think this whole neo trance movement is really boring.
I have been into electronic music long enough to have witnessed the demise and birth of many styles, genres and trends, but this has to be the worst I've heard yet. If I remember correctly, while a youth, I used to have more respect for speedcore and jumpstyle back when that was relatively fashionable, but this is just so disengaging I can't imagine going to a party where this stuff would be played for the whole night.
Not that I mean disrespect to anybody, I just cannot relate to this music at all.

okay... for idm, me its all Kettel, check pretty much everything hes done since cenny crush album (i have to suggest you real hard one this one)
then look for wisp albums, you will find free releases right there http://wisp.kaen.org/
then go look at autchre, the flashbulb( best album in my opinion is red extension of me), aphex twin, Boards Of Canada and plaid. With that, you have an excellent selection, going from melodic idm to the darkest idm side.
theres some ambient that combine idm and ambient. Artist like secede, subheim, Helios(I have to suggest you real hard this one, Lights Out Asia,blackfilm
you need to listen to mostly everything evan bartholomew/bluetech/evan marc has done, he has done idm and ambient into his three project.
and some pure ambient:
Mimesis
Emanuelle Errante album hummus is a masterpiece
Ishq the album orchid
Haushka
I suggest my all time favorite artist mostly from idm and ambient, you'll probably find something interesting. I didnt suggest anything from the psychadelic ambient side, but in the site, youll find a list for the best psychill http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?/topic/56586-the-best-psychillambientdowntempo-albums-of-all-time-compiled/

yeah, you liked the new kilowatts? it left me quite dissapointed, should check it out againI'm a big fan of Ultimae Records. This place is full of a top quality ambient music, including some danceable stuff.
Carbon Based Lifeforms, Aes Dana, Solar Fields, Hol Baumann, and Asura are my very best favorites. This is where whole album is great and unforgettable. Other good stuff from Ultimae includes HUVA Network, Kliment, and Sync24.
There is stuff like Vibrasphere, Kilowatts or James Murray, etc, which you have to decide for yourself if you like it. Vibrasphere has some GREAT tracks (like Mountain lake) but otherwise by genre it's morning trance, so not for every ocassion. Kilowatts (Ground State) are somewhat IDMish but also a lot ambient, so you should like it.
As for non-Ultimae stuff, I somewhat like the IDM album by Mouse on Mars - Radical Connector. But it's IDM with lyrics, not a pure Autechre's noise.

+100 for midnight soul dive, really good mix between idm and ambientLike Kozmik said it would be useful to know vaguely what acts you like so we can build from there. Without guidance I'd suggest things like
Midnight Soul Dive - V/A - Aleph Zero
Oxycanta - V/A - Ultimae
Leaving Home - Solar Fields - Ultimae
Elementary Particles/Prima Materia - Bluetech
The first three are what I'd personally say were great (and easygoing) ambient albums, but there are lots of others that would lump together all sorts of different downtempo as ambient and this is really just my personal idea. Bluetech is quite cool downtempo IDM stylyised grooves. It could be an idea to check out this site that Murphy is always spamming around (there's a couple of nice mixes on there as well), Abasio's reviews here and maybe checking out some mixes to find what you enjoy. Recently come accross this site which is full of nice, very deep ambient mixes.

Eminem-slim shady lp , slim's the best and maybe dr.dre'S the chronic
-
Hallucinogen's remix is always better then the original, witch is a good sign.
Ott of course, even tough, his remix album is not has good as the orginals one, ott just showed everyone a pretty shpongled side of hallucinogen world.
Aphex twin mixes for cash is pretty outstandong
Kettel had done a couple, and its always better then the original
-
even cheesy sample doesnt really bug me, as long as the music is good, sample or no sample, the music still'll be good. no?
-
but you were talkin about health here, and even if they buy fast food to save time, its still bad for the health. while psytrance just isntAt least people eating fast food usually do so to save time in their busy schedule. Listening to psytrance is like a drug. It's an activity that thousands of lowlifes around the world participate in in place of accomplishing something useful.
listening music is an addiction not only for psytrance lovers then
but what is there so much to accomplish, besides doing...some... psytrance! okay maybe its a drug
and theres a lot of people that go to fast food not to save time

Any music can be danced too. The fact that people started calling it "electronic dance music" doesn't make it any more dancing or less non-dancing music.
+10000

+1That's a good question. Some of his early tracks are the reason I listen to goa. Going downhill is relatively usual thing to happen ain't it? The producers see smiling drug-heads dancing to their tracks no matter what they produce, as they're big names they have nothing to prove either to get gigs. You can probably count with two hands the number of early acts that are still around with a fresh approach.

euhh, a visual distortion is an hallucinationThat's visual distortion, not hallucination.
sigh
-
im really sorry about the off-topic, but theres no section for that.
Okay, if you really look at that video for the whole time, and then, you you look elsewhere, i swear to god, its like you hallucinate. and like for 5-10 seconds, ridiculous, i never tought a video would make me hallucinate.
enjoy

whow! thats strong! only thing, change your bassline now and then
and personnally, ive always loved those type of sample in the beginning, maybe put a nice phaser on it
-
Well if you dont feel bad about it, soulseek have it, i just downloaded it
-
you dont see any ressemblance between kettel and apehx twin? well, listen to old kettel, and you will see quite a ressemblance
:blink: 
lol for the cosmosis and logic bomb, i needed an example
, they are at least a bit like posford, no 
? -
well, im able to download it via soulseek!

best of dowtempo this year
-
WHAT!?!?!?
Yeah, people NEED different tastes
For me a journey must be perfect with nothing to distract me so if there is something out of place then I can't travel. Usually with Simon P's work that thing is his samples. They grate on my nerves & so I find it impossible to get lost in his tracks. Only the sample in LSD do I like but I could do without even that one
-
The IDM I listen to rarely sounds like Aphex Twin and the only psy I listen to that sounds like Mr. Posfords work or Infected Mushroom are their own releases
kettel
wisp
flashbulb
just to name a few, sounds like aphex twin
and cosmosis, logic bomb, talpa, sounds like posford or infected mushroom
and honestly to sound like posford or aphex twin, its a sign of a good artist

I'm the one trolling?Jesus Christ that was a long and wastefull read. If you want to push the limit on my argument that far, then you might as well say that all artists who use the same instruments sound like eachother.
My opinion: Wisp clearly has a huge admiration for Aphex and that colours his work in a way that some listeners (like myself) might find his work a tad unoriginal.
Anyway, I don't know why I`m writing this since I don't know if you're trolling or not
euh... you pushed the limit of your argument so far, that on a debate, i would be embarrassed for yourself
Imo a LOT of idm music will sound like aphex twin. And a LOT of psytrance will sound either like posford of IM.
and you didnt answer to any of my question :wank:

kettel-teacup and pistolette-best song ever made, i just can believe my ears
-
dmt? where do you live !!!!I can dig that completely. I have made up my mind to come and look up Evan Bluetech some time and tell him how much his music has helped me have brilliant trips. I used to play his first two albums a lot when tripping on (5-MeO-)DMT and I only have superpositive feelings when I listen to it. Very good stuff indeed.

as a student, in class, i cant. But when im studying i always put music on. When i read, i listen to music, and i read about 2-3 hours a day. I always go to bed with music. and whenever im doing music, its just like if im listening to MY music. SO i'd say... 6-7 hours a day, plus the night, but does it counts? at work, im a janitor, so i work 7 hours shift and the whole time with music
Neo Trance is the new Psytrance
in General Psytrance

illl take minilogue for example, and everything he does, i understand what he did. i mean, i do music, and i understand that he uses for example a reverb, and a delay ect.
what i like about psychadelic, is the feeeling like WOWWWWWW how he did that, and minilogue doesnt do that for me
