    I had the pleasure of seeing you spin a banging morning goa set at Inflorescence a few years back and am thrilled that you are doing a monthly mix series. Could you make this into a podcast with an RSS feed for your fans?

    Tandu - Multimoods

    in General Psytrance

    Multimoods truly is a classic!

    ALIEN PUMP is my favorite trance track of all time!

    EA, I'm really surprised to read that you don't like it. You should probably listen more carefully because it's really a great nighttime tune!

    The rest of the album is really good too, but its the first three tracks that shine the most.

    I REALLY want Ofer to make another album that's full on like this one. He can do better than that housy shit he's producing nowadays, and I hear he has plenty of unreleased stompers up his sleeve.

    Where's the escalation in todays trancemusic?

    I've gotta agree with Kristian and D-Dave on this one.

    Now, I think a lot of escalation has to do with melodies, in that they are not present at the beginning and then slowly build and grow more complex until the end of the track is an orgasmic climax where you can't stop dancing even if you want to. Of course, it is definitely possible to have escalation without melodies, but it is harder IMO (of course I'm not a producer so I wouldn't know).

    One problem is that a lot of people think twisted acid melodies are a thing of the past :( This is NOT true. Just because somebody puts extended melodies in their music does not mean they are stuck in 1996 or whores to cheesy clubby progressive trance. It's all about making new types of melodies that aren't AP/Hallucinogen/Cosmosis/IM ripoffs :)

    Don't get me wrong, the GMS-style shit is good for dancing, but it gets boring pretty fast, and its not that good for listening outside of the dancefloor. Most of the progressive-style shit is simply not psychedelic enough for my tastes, with some exceptions (Human Blue for example).

    What we need right now is for melodic trance to transcend its Goa roots while at the same time integrating them into a larger more varied musical picture.
