  1. I've heard Honour beats, building dragons and the shimmering hour. Listen to tracks from Aphex Twin- Richard D. James album and tell me Wisp isn't obviously inspired by this sound.

     

    Opinions is like an asshole, everyone has one. And this is my asshole. That being said, I'm not a huge listener of IDM so fans probably detect the differences between artists better than me. But the first impression I get from Wisp is that the Aphex Twin comparison is to apparent

    Inspired? of course! but seriously, i dont see that much of exactitude, whatever.but its just funny really, listen to any psytrance artist, and you can make always make comparison, so i dont get your argument.

    I listen to bob dylan, its sounds like crosby still young and nash.

    I listen to gentle giant, sounds like genesis.

    I listen to the rolling stones, to bowie, to pink floyd, sounds all a bit like each others

    listen to jimmy hendrix, sounds a but like the doors or led zepplin

    i listen to Bon iver, sounds exactly like nick drake (folk artist from the 70's)

    BUT its still all amazing artist, soooo what your point?

    The last time I shared my opinion about Murphy I got banned, so guys: beware ;)

     

    Still, it's hard to take someone serious when they act and write like Borat.

     

    I would say as far IDM goes my list would be short, since it's not the genre I listen to the most:

     

    1. Early Aphex Twin (up untill the windowlicker EP)

    2. Kettel (master of melodies, but has released alot of filler in the past)

    3. Jon Hopkins . His lates album insides is a masterpiece

    Really??? what album are you talking about, cause his album from the past are my favorites from kettel... just wondering and for me the best album idm ive listen in my life is smilling little cow from kettel, and its his third album i think, maybe listen to it again? i know his sound sounds old, but the complexity of the melodies are seriously something ive never heard! ever!!!!
  2. Yes, I am afraid that Murphythecat is our new puerile troll (although to be fair to the kid, I have seen much worse). Hopefully, he will eventually get bored and seek other places in cyberspace to be annoying...

     

     

    Pedro

    you and joker seems to be the one trolling right now
  3. And my two favorite songs comes from the same album last year, never happenned for me, the two comes from the flashbulb

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWXLDtgCZP8

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meySo_HpxXI

     

    besides: my top album were:

     

    the abbassi brothers-something like nostalgia

    Subheim-approach

    The flashbulb-soundtrack to a vacant

    Burial-Untrue

    Kettel-myam james part 1

    helios-eingyra

    hecq- golden pines i think

    Ametsub-linear crypth (only for the song snowy lava!!!!!!!!)

    Blackfilm maybe

    Wisp - Katabatic

  4. Don't take offense to murphy. I'm still convinsed that he's just trolling around here

     

    1. Jon Hopkins- Insides

    2. Kettel- Myam James part 2

    3. Røyksopp- Junior

    there was nothing offensive.

    But hey, +10 on your choice tough. but myam james part 2, it was this year right

  5. If you think it's not original then can you state some other older releases or artists that you think sound similar to this, but are better. I'd like to hear them.

     

    Listened to it again today at work. Still enjoy it! The repetition you're referring to is I assume the stuttering, shimmering, electro-melodic style he's used throughout. That's what I like most about the album! :lol::P

    The texture work, layering and bass that backs it up is always varied from track to track. The African percussion element is nowhere near as prominent as you've suggested, IMO. The sound quality is excellent as you said. Some of his electro-instrumentation has a great organic touch to it and I like the mild glitchy feel that he's also sometimes incorporated. I never get bored or tired listening all the way through the CD like I do with heaps of others.

     

    IMO this album reminds me of the heat and wind element and is something I'd listen to in the summer time, especially afternoon.

     

    I never said that I loved it or tripped hardkore off it, nor is this a best of 2009 topic, but out of the 200 or so Psychill/Downtempo releases I've been listening to recently, it stands out as a style of sound that I enjoy listening to. I admit that it has the potential to maybe get a bit boring after some time has passed or if listened to excessively. That I have to wait and find out for. :)

     

    Jon

    It's just that theres nothing groundbreaking.

    I'm not excited while listening to it. Good sound, but im not like oh yeah! I'm just indifferent to the atmosphere he creates. It's reeally too repetitive for me. Makes me think of some solar field work.

    But it's true, hes got an original sound. But no originals idea. The release seems to go nowhere, you know what i mean i think. the songs just flows well, but without a goal, theres no direction at all, no BIG moments. I tend to agree thats this is not shitty, interesting, bvut i lost focus, i just listen to it again, and i just cant finish the album. I suck on explainings things tough.

  6. Being closed-minded must be awesome...

     

    Infected has been corny since the beginning and gotten cornier. The simple fact is they are of the very few who are trying to take their music beyond the confines from which they came...confines which a lot of people are stuck in and which give us uncreative, rehashed music (which may be good in its own way of course).

    please
  7. Well I dunno I'm excited, cause it's kinda a merging between psy and mainstream. There is no other music on mainstream media today that has this electronic touch, listen to smashing the opponent, the background is still typical infected sound. Somebody had to bring psy to the mainstream market. I mean, many will look up their earlier works if they like this, and say maybe 30% of them are converted to enjoy real psychedelic trance. That's great, our scene needs to grow!

    I doubt that. If someone likes the new material from IM, well, i really doubt that they would dig out the OLD psy. I mean, you have to be pretty retarded to like it, or you have to have no background musically, cause practically, the new stuff from IM is even worst then what new britney spears album has to offer.

    Maybe a couples of dude will dig, maybe.

    But i don't see it like you seem to see it: If psytrance would actually go mainstream, i think that mainstrimisation :) would most definitely destroy the scene.

    Infected mushroom, the way I see it, is only a BIG lost to the scene.

    I wish that the non singer of the group start releasing some stuff solo, it would be most probably awesome.

  8. A release that hasn't been mentioned much yet is oCelot - one.

     

    Posted Image

     

    I warn that I may not use words the way others use them to describe elements.

     

    Some Ocelot purists may not like his deviation from the semi-dark side of the force. This particular release has made me interested in that side of his work.

     

    One is mostly groovy, uplifting and electro-melodic. As far as I'm aware it has it's own funky style of sound. Some mysticism. Some trance. It has both up and down-tempo(predominately) elements and is mixed as one piece and designed to be listened so.

     

    A description I can give for it is that it is as a sonic shimmering mirage with gusts of electro-heat and sun flares riding through it. Great journey.

     

    I was considering writing a full review but found it to be too painful and it was ripping some of the soul out of my relationship to the piece and therefore just wasn't enjoying it as much.

     

    Jon

    What! you loved that album?

     

    IMO this release lacks of everything: no originality, not enough changes from one song to another: there's always that percussion african or whatever influence.

    His sound quality is amazing, but you really tripped listening to that?? his songs are going no where, the main melodies keeps coming back. It's like a circle album. Didn't do it for me! tough i'd say.

     

    Ozmali!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  9. murphy-

    thanks for being cool on this one, I appreciate the suggestions and all the insight regarding particular releases

    I spent the entire day listening to Venetian Snares/Kettel/Funckarma/Wisp/The Flashbulb

     

    pretty enjoyable experience I'd have to say - a lot of warm, dubby, downtempo, chillout kinda stuff

    but very electric, robotic, stimulating, pulsating, vibey cool stuff - I was surprised I liked it as much

    even my wife commented all day that she liked the choice of listening music

    so cheers for a bunch of good stuff

     

    I work a graveyard shift (11pm-7am California time) and I will be attacking a lot of the noisier, more harsh and aggressive stuff tonight at work

    keeps me sharp and awake which is important at my job...

    anyway, thanks again for all the info - maybe I will keep this IDM in my holster and add to my rotation of old school goa and techno

     

    peace

     

    PsyON

    Your welcome! I'm glad that you liked it, and i'm not suprised: i use to listen only to goa, psytrance and psychill.

     

    For something hard, i suggest you to listen to the debut of kettel( you Cant buy it anymore) albums like Red Pear,Split lp 2 or hydrus/kettel and You have to listen to Kettel / Setzer EP

  10. :angry: :angry:

     

    Have you heard his old albums like, Portrait Of An American Family and AntiChrist SuperStar?????

     

    Hey maybe it's not Sepeltura, Dimmu Borgir or Red Harvest ..

     

    and besides, what Metal are we talking about, black metal, Death Metal, GrindCore, Trash Metal, Speed Core, White Metal, Chick Metal. Traditional Metal, hair Metal, Progressive Metal, Soft Metal, Doom Metal, Rap Core, Folk Metal, Gothic Metal, Industrial Metal, Nu Metal, Power Metal or maybe Funk Metal?

     

    Marilyn Manson FTW!!

     

    On present days I do enjoy a cup of Tool, KoRn, Clawfinger, Deftones, Fear Factory, White Zombie, Slipknot, Seigmen, Faith No More + etc.

     

    Never was into the heavier more death metal stuff that plays on theater and horror. Though many of their lyrics are funny and in their own way, poetic.

    Faith no more!!!! but its not metal, faith no more is just like soundgarden or alice in chains and nirvana, its called grunge

     

     

    man, i was listening ten years ago to Korn and deftones!!

  11. so murphy, I'm curious... great list of faves, but for the new listener, do you have a fav album or two from the artists in your top 10 to get someone started?

    love to see a list of great albums, so much out there to sift through, this could help narrow it down

    cheers

    and seriously, wisp wouldnt be the one that a can relate easily with aphextwin. Benn jordan, or trentmoller and venetian snares for example look a LOT more like Aphex twin then wisp

    seriously...

     

    Havent you notice that entheogenis looks a lot like shpongle? or logic bomb looks like cosmosis.

     

    Kettel: Through Friendly Waters, Whisper Me Wishes, Smiling Little Cow (so underated, this is one of my all-time favorite, its old, rough sound, but the best idm you can find imo) and you could finish with My Dogan and Cenny Crush.

     

    Wisp: First, you can download all his early albums free!!!! right here http://www.wisp.kaen.org/

     

    fav albums from wisp that you can download free: let me see your shapes( You will freak out, i hope ;))

    Frozen Days EP

    humpelndenBEATS

     

    wisp best release not free: Nrthndr and Honor Beats and The shimmering hour

     

     

    The flashbulb: Red Extensions of Me (but you gotta be carefull, some songs are REALLY extreme, while others are beautifull.

    That Missing Week: its his masterpiece, he has done nearly 15 albums, tyhis one is his best IMO

    Kirlian Selections

     

    Flexe (the flashbulb)-love programming songs

     

     

     

    Those three are The ones that i respect A LOT

     

     

    Bluetech: sines and singularity, but all his album really, Evan bartholomey too.

     

    Venetian snares: the most extreme artist out here and imo the best breakcore ever made: Doll Doll Doll

    My Downfall

    The Stupid Chocolate Wheelchair Album

     

    The abbassi brothers: Something Like Nostalgia

     

    Lights out asia:Eyes Like Brontide( and if you love this one, ill recommend you Tanks and Recognizers)

     

    apparrat: walls

     

    Ellen Allien & Apparat:Orchestra Of Bubbles

     

    Squarepusher: Selection Sixteen the best one from him no doubt

     

    and aphex twin but do you really need help with this one?

  12. I agree with you man! Thats my list

    1-kettel

    2-wisp

    3-secede

    4-ametsub/The flashbulb

    5-aphex twin

     

     

    Wisp is not original, you must be kidding!

    How many albums from wisp you heard? :ph34r:

    cause seriously, wisp is UNIQUE

     

     

    Well, aphex twin is normally more extreme/hard/aggressive BPM then wisp, beside from the selected ambient series, Aphex twin hasnt made a lot of dowtempo song. aphex twin and AFX is HARD BPM Mostly But wisp has done even more downtempo or downbeat song then ''hard'' song. Wisp has like 8-9 release(EP or albums), and when you listen to every cd, wisp really doesnt look like aphex twin. But thats my opinion, maybe you havent listen to all wisp releases, so you base your opinion only onthe shimmering hour album. The shimmering hour is hard bpm all the time, and its the only time that wisp has done that. Normally, every album contains like half the time slow bpm.

    Just an example,

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ox-DWhlV_tM...feature=related

    listen from 1min 46 exactly, and look at the changes of rythm with awsome melodies, and then at 2 min 30. the beat is coming back much different, then listen carefully at the end all the sounds blending together.

    I really dont see how wisp is not unique, ive never heard such complexity into aphex twin dowtempo selected ambient 85-93

     

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9t0jOXtmFA...F3&index=47

     

     

     

    this really look like aphex twin, apart the fact that wisp and aphex twin makes both IDM music, i dont see a lot of ressemblance. I find in fact that wisp is even more original and better than Aphex TWin because with wisp, we dont get the feeling that hes using drummachines... aphex twin has done his tracks mostly WITH drum machine, and i find that when you listen to everything from aphex, you have less originality into the kick drum. The song are a LOT more repetitive musicwise. But thats only my opinion :D

    +100000

    H.U.V.A. Network - Ephemeris

    Hol Bauman - Human

    Saafi Brothers - Mystic Cigarretes

    Galaxy - Science Of Ecstasy

    Gabriel Le Mar vs. Cylancer - Night Radio

    Quaid - Eight a Day (Unreleased)

    Happy Chilling :D

    I agree a LOT to your top 10, but thers a few at the end of your list that i never even heard of! i have to go tchek em out
  14. Yeah, I dig.

     

    I'd suggest to keep it downtempo and psychedelic.

     

    So I reckon Autechre's Quaristice wouldn't fit in, but Amber would. Ah man, you don't know what you got yourself into... either it's gonna expand beyond whatever, or else people are gonna complain it's not "psychill" enough.

     

    The KLF - Chillout is most definitely essential, since it's the album that gave the whole genre its name.

     

    FSOL - Dead Cities

    FSOL - ISDN

    The Orb - U.F.Orb

    The Orb - Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld

    Boards of Canada - Music Has The Right To Children

    Biosphere - Substrata

     

    All classics that aren't psychill. Monolake doesn't really fit in though, if you ask me.

     

    Nodens Ictus - Spacelines

    Eat Static - Back to Earth

    VA - Downbeat Liquid

    VA - Dissolving Clouds

    Unstable Elements - Technical Illusions

    Electrypnose - Subliminal Melancholies

    Krusseldorf - Smokers Lounge

     

    Don't know if the above have been mentioned yet, but they could be included as well. :)

    They HAVE to be added to the list
  15. i'd recommend you kettel-mydogan and wisp-the shimmering hour

     

    you absolutly need are you shpongle-shpongle : if you want a journey, you have it with that

     

    entheogenic-Spontaneous illumination

     

    you like trance? you will love flexe-love programming songs, maybe aphex twin: look for the best of aphex twin into our forums because theres so many albums of this guy

     

    the abbasi brothers-Something Like Nostalgia

     

    you will need Mystical Experiences by the infinity project, you would need celtic cross

     

     

    again with a journey, ill recommend secede-tryphasia some bluetech would be nice, my favorite from them is sines and singularity, but that is not the general opinion hre

     

    even if its psytrance, ill tell you to intruduce yourself in the world of psytrance with infected mushrooms's B.P.Empire album and twisted by hallucinogen

     

    solar field is always okay to great

    a personnal favorite is mimesis-Art Imitating Life. It's trippy, profound storytelling album with stunning ambient

     

    and be sure that at first for a couple of month everything youll hear from psy-chill-dowtempo-whatever will sound incredible, but after.... the excitement will leave, and then, youll be an addicted motherfucker trying to find THE best albums ever, and you will spear all you freetime and money to try to find amazings releases...lol

  16. Haha seeing that post, is like seeing a big list of chores that need to be added to my current list.

     

    But I already have downloaded quite a few of those non-psy things, and will get around to them soon. :)

    i recommend: subheim, the abbasi brothers, wisp, kettel, Library Tapes, Blackfilm, Lights Out Asia, Another Electronic Musician, The Black Dog , Rudi Arapahoe and helios!!! thats my BIG discovery out of this list, but i encourage you to go see every artist myspace, it will give you a good idea
  17. :lol:

     

    Listening to music is actually like a chore to me. I force myself to do it, and to keep listening to new stuff, even when most of it sucks. You guys should be thankful that I share my research with you. :drama:

    i admit, most of it sucks, change of style, that's what i did, i still listen to psy, but really, for me, idm suits me way more.
