You definitely should add PUSHERSTREET to the list. Raw and funky progressive music! And humour they have too ... check out their new freely released track "Flash" for example: http://panzarproduktionz.com/Flash.html

Hey guys! Remember ETNOSCOPE? Those who released the album Drums From the Dawn of Time? The band that used to make awesome tribal progressive trance music? Those who used live drums and stuff during their sets? Those who have been pronounced dead already quite some time ago? They haven't released anything in ages, haven't even updated their website ... one could easily be led to believe that they are dead. Which even I did... But they are still alive! They still got an album ready to release! And they are currently searching a label! Where I have this info from? I just spoke to Liam, the guy behind InYourPhaze Mastering ... and he informed me of this. He is actually involved in that Etnoscope album to an extent ... so he knows what is going on. What do you say about that?

Hey, that's my 3 letters Happy Birthday, Psynews!

no panties! Psychedelic Whorehouse

Hey, Mise22, you really have some good taste for music ... I checked the stuff out that you listed and actually never thought it would be that good... I'd suggest you Chilling Matenda for downtempo:

"you wanna scream, you wanna shout, but there is probably noo waay oout!" this is so terrible it's actually damn funny how about somebody (I look at you, producers) makes a track in this manner with lyrics like "the music has become so shit, but I love to milk your wallets" and such... shit, this is actually a great idea! You might think ... but it's not, I tell ya. Look @ my sig

And from me too, a good and happy new year to all of you! And a good new decade! Also for the music ... and the site! I can't lift my glass now though, I gotta drive... have fun

sounds good! I'll take the time to organize a personal ranking then

I think both sides seem somewhat fishy. As for the contract, it was said to be cleared out "many months in advance"? Why? Why was the money (and apparently all of it!) sent so much time in advance? This is illogical. Not only is this insecure (as you have the risk that the artist makes a run with it as it apparently happened in this case), you are also losing money for the months the money is not residing on your bank account (since you are not getting paid interests)! This simply sounds fishy. Also, none of the arguments are proven. We just have one version; I encourage you to convince the other side to step up and defend themselves in a serious discussion! Then we will see what this really is about! Frozen Ghost on the other hand really cancelled his Myspace account. Why would he if he had nothing to fear? And he or his manager apparently do nothing to defend themselves? I mean, even if he's ill, the manager could at least post some message or care about the money being returned. I can understand people being enraged, using srong language, posting on all forums and such if really some unjust shit has happened ... but it's just not right to use wild accusations and diss people if you have no proof... If your money got stolen, perform the necessary legal actions to prevent the guy from escaping once he enters the country. And to avoid stress, never ever pay all of the artists fee in advance again! Pay only the flight ticket in advance (or add 25% if you trust the people or if they require it), the rest you give him after the gig!

In the past we did it with everybody posting his vote, so people were able to see what others voted. So why not keeping that system? If anybody has a problem with others seeing his votes, he wouldn't have voted in the last years either. I see no need to change that. But I also have no problem if you make it anonymous. Do what you like, I will vote anyways. I thought that free and digital releases always can be included ... or not?

what instantly comes to my mind ... no particular genre, just all together: S-Range - 2001 S-Range - Space Etnoscope - Drums From the Dawn of Time Atmos - Tour de Trance 12 Moons - Solid State Matenda - Natural Development Matenda - Energy Loader Silicon Sound - Pure Analog Shiva Chandra - Auricular Auricular - Audion Banco De Gaia - The Magical Sounds of Banco De Gaia Magnetrixx - Wired Solar Fields - Leaving Home Solar Fields - Blue Moon Station Carbon Based Lifeforms - Hydroponic Garden Carbon Based Lifeforms - World of Sleepers I'm sure I have forgotten quite a few ... but that's what instantly comes to mind...

I say FLUKE - BULLET. This is how damn good trance-ish stuff has to sound IMO. Wait for the end! http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCDq60hMxZk hehehe...

really nice cover looks like a screen from a flash game such as Samorost, I'm almost tempted to drag the mouse over and click, click everywhere but it's a pity the music does not fit ... the cover would suggest a chill album imo while what one is getting is the total contrary...

yeah, merry xmas, psynews folks

You know, architecture and dancing have more in common than you think ... it's all taking place in 3D space ... and it's all about using the space and expressing ... architecture is basically a "standing still dance". Sort of. Or you see it from the level design point of view, where movement becomes so important that pros are actually dancing through the levels and- Okay, didn't wanna go that far. But I'm a huge sucker for architecture. Just wanted to say that.

Mantra Flow - Land of Lysergic Multiplex Records 2009 (MULTIPLEX 012), http://www.multiplex-records.de Progressive fans out there, go and warn your neighbors, there's a new release that is going to shake your homes! Panzar Produktionz, in collaboration with the label Multiplex Records from Germany, present you the debut EP release of the danish progressive act Mantra Flow. "Land of Lysergic" is the title of this piece and it's progressive goodness all over! Those who have been around in the progressive underground scene in the last few months might have observed the launch of a production studio called Panzar Produktionz (Panzar Rekordz back then), who have declared themselves to swim against the generic "housy" undercurrent that has taken over the scene and to bring back the bite and the progression and the spirit of the sound ... the things that progressive music originally stood for. They also released the debut EP of the act Pusherstreet and are home to In Your Phaze Mastering, who already mastered various international releases... Mantra Flow is another act from the Panzar Produktionz artist roster. The man behind this back in the August of 2008 founded act is Kristian Gjesing, who got his inspirations from the Danish Trance scene underground. He already worked with artists from that scene such as the aforementioned Pusherstreet, InYourPhaze, Electrocute, Bufo, Tribalistic Society, Erot, Shalal, Tulk and many others... The sound of Mantra Flow is progressively raw in nature, but it's generally enriched with melodic elements and speedy funkiness, which makes it appear almost flying at times while still holding a grounding connection with the dancefloor through the hard, pumping rhythm. This already is audible in its entire spectrum when one listens to the first track of this EP, "Land Of Lysergic", the title track. It starts off phat and very basic progressive, but in the second half the bassline gets much funkier and more and more melodic elements are added until you have exactly this scenario I initially described. So there you have a really good first track that leaves a very refreshing and energetic aftertaste. The second track "Interplanitary" I find even better than the first one! It's faster and still more melodic, which gives it a great deal of freshness and lightness and good vibes guaranteeing for a fast and colorful interplanitary flight while still grounded by the progressive music structure so that you don't get lost on a space walk. I really like that tune. Haven't been running to it yet, but I'm confident I could make a best time Next is "Flowing Free", a track that goes back to more basic progressive territories. There you have it again, rawer progressive sound with light melodic elements. It's the most solely progressive track in nature on this EP and the longest track on it aswell. Not bad. The fourth and last track on the EP is a collaboration between Mantra Flow and Eardrop, also a new and upcoming Danish act. The bassline has more phatness again and the style is quick and funky, a bit like the second track, but not that fast. I like the melodic elements and the quickness that swings along with them. This is sort of the style I begin to connect with Mantra Flow now -- fresh, quick, funky progressive with a psychedelic pinch! All in all the sound that Kristian is producing is a really good addition to the repertoire of Panzar Produktionz! As a summary I want to stress out the exceptional goodness of the first two tracks! These two are almost worth it to make an extra vinyl pressing. I'm serious. They're damn awesome. But of course the other two tracks are very good aswell And the best of it all comes last: this one is a FREE RELEASE! Available from Multiplex Records download page: http://www.multiplex-records.de/musicdownload.html GET IT! I'M SERIOUS!

You know, I wasn't looking for proggy and I wasn't looking for full on, I was looking for the S-Range sound and this release has got some of it, hehehe But if you say for yourself that you never have been a big fan, then it's not really a surprise that you aren't digging it. I'd say this release is particularly for people who know and like the old S-Range tunes and aren't turned off by full on ... for these people, this release can offer something. It's really good to hear some of the old tracks still offering something. I agree with what you said about the Mad Max remix though. But the five tracks that I picked out, they are worth it IMO. oh and cheers for the comment, Mr. SMS

The metal genre is going quite strong with me too ... and some dark ambient. But it has declined aswell, I do not have time anymore to follow it so much. Since it's underground and you don't get it stuffed up your arse at every radio station, staying up to date (at least somewhat) and reading reviews and stuff eats quite some time! But generally, these are the other genres I follow. Them and some other stuff, a conglomerate of indescribable stuff ranging from Attwenger up to jazz with alphorns ... but I'm not following any of that passionately, just stumble upon these artists on some occasion and then decide to keep them in my memory. There's quite a lot of that stuff too.

good for you then... as much as I dislike Compactsticks, but I'd probably have kept it...

Arzt+Pfusch german speakers will agree

Brighter Death Now :: You Got Sperm On Your Jacket (I Know, 'Cause It's Mine) SCNR ... I find that one brilliant...

hehe...

holy merde, I just discovered that there are three new releases from the Klangstrahler Project guys ... one from 2009, just released recently actually -- the Klangstrahler Progressive Trance and Dance Compilation: http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/kla/kla1cd006.html How on earth could this pass me by? the last time I heard something new from these guys was about seven years ago! And this is good stuff! Because, unlike Feuerhake, this member of the former Free Form Records artist roster has NOT changed to lollipop-progressive! How on earth could this pass me by? These guys meanwhile founded a freakin' label! Insane
