Twilight-South African
Too many to write
@Ormion - c'mon now, don't hold back - let's see that SA list.
Really interested to see your picks (and learn some new ones for meself)
Throw down my friend...
-
Well thanks to this thread I am being introduced to all sorts of classics I had not been able to hear before.
Kindzazda - Waves From Outer Space
Xenomorph - Cassandra's Nightmare
Baphomet Engine vs Datakult - Psytrance Is Dead!
all brilliant. Thanks for the education.
And put me down for another +1 for Kraft.
Also, I simply love Wi']['ch - The Hypersub. Really can't wait for a proper full length of this stuff.
I'd like to throw in my picks of
Ajja - Psychogenica
Abomination - Enemy Within
Menog - Emotions
Ocelot - Aural Sects
Twisted System - Core
-
+1
I absolutely loved Sigilweaver and really can't wait for this one.
Oh I hope its good (please Ghreg, make it good?)

I thought it would be a good idea to have a list here on psynews of the albums we consider to be the must have or "best" darkpsy albums.
When making your list, feel free to include EP's, Full length, and V/A's. And let's use some basic categories -
Horror/Psycore
Forest/Tribal
Twilight (dark full-on)
[feel free to add a category if I've missed one you think should play in]
Let's explore this flavorful little side world of psy and see what's out there.
Remember - this should be the best of the best (in your opinion of course) - not just stuff you've enjoyed, but rather stuff that would make a Darkpsy Canon.
[i'll post a little list of my own, but I don't want to influence opening posts - so I'll leave that for a little later after we've accumulated a bit of a list]
Have fun with this, and keep the posts coming.
Cheers and PsyON
-
That's it.
Thanks my friend.
Very helpful indeed.
Cheers

Anyone know what the colors to the left of titles on Discogs.com mean?
Some have grey, some have yellow etc.
Can't seem to find a key or guide.
If you know - I would love to know what the heck the colors mean.
Thanks everyone.
Peace, and as always... PsyON
[Mods feel free to move this post to somewhere more appropriate if necessary]

It's pretty much solved now, but you had to stick your nose in where it doesn't belong.
It's my community too pal. So my nose belongs as much as yours
And have zero class if you want - don't throw the rest of us in that category.
People I have met in the Psy world are some of the coolest I've ever known
and still to this day some of my best friends.
Anyway - you've made your point for all to see.

It's very easy to see it's the truth not a fake rumor. Even phototropic label knows it was poor quality. If you think you have high quality WAVEs for Zelur Project that weren't converted up from MP3s then you should upload them for us to see. But the released version on the disc isn't high quality.
I only hope this CD is better quality since it's my favorite SynSUN music, and phototropic has confirmed it is, so time will tell, but I see no reason not to trust them.
way to attack the artist and call them a liar
no class psylover- if you can really call yourself that
poor showing lad
@synsun - great stuff - goa classic still rules
cheers for the awesome sounds - please keep em comin

really great my friend
well done
I love what you've done to blend the styles
not a lot of people are doing this
very original
awesome beat while keeping the psychedelic flavour strongly up front
dig it
cheers

think I will snatch this one up
cheers to ToF

I dislike most of the modern minimal-tech out there, but I find this one pretty good, this is what I can call techno!
http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkGLo6RQMJk
this was fantastic
exactly what I'm looking for
percussive and trying to be psychedelic or ambient or chillout
but hard and in your face
I welcome many more recommendations in this style
what is this called?
hard-techno/hardcore/something else?
maybe I've just been asking for the wrong thing
whatever this style is, I dig it and would love to find more (old or new school)
cheers for the video
-
@piginspace
I guess I was just looking for an opposite term for minimal.
Minimalism tries to have less going on, and especially with so much
of the modern stuff I have heard, not only has less going on
but is also more tame and laid back, almost ambient/downtempo stuff.
So yes, banging/hard/aggressive/in your face kind of techno from newer
artists is what I'm looking for.
Thanks for all the recommendations - I will dig a little and see what I like.
Cheers

Ok,
So I have poked around a lot trying to learn as much as I can about Techno
and thanks to many of you, I have discovered a ton of great music
I have been really enjoying my Techno experience thus far.
As a general Psy-head, its refreshing to occasionally dive into other genres.
I have gotten a lot of recommendations for old school techno
ala Jeff Mills, Joey Beltram, Speedy J, Surgeon, X-101, System 01, Holy Ghost, Sven Vath and some others.
and I have also gotten a ton of new school/modern minimal recommendations like
Paul Kalkbrenner, Minilogue, Robert Babicz, Stimming, Evan Marc, Ricardo Villalobos, Trentemoller etc.
But my question is.... IS THERE ANY BANGING "MAXIMAL" TECHNO FROM THE MODERN ERA?
Is it all minimal/tame/chilled/ambient?
I'm looking for recommendations of new/modern era Techno that is aggressive and maximal, as opposed to relaxed and minimal.
Any ideas?
All info and recommendations are appreciated.
Cheers everyone.

I don't see what the last 2 (probing the human psyche and toying with the secrets of the universe) have to do with it. In fact those are more spiritual activities that may have existed previously in the culture of hippies and goa trance, but hardly exist nowadays in modern psytrance parties, which are mostly devoid of spirituality and closer to rock concerts.
Hence the statement about you not getting it, nor maybe even having the capacity.
On some levels, in some circles, the whole scene doesn't get it anymore
which so heavily indicated by the loads of unlistenable drivel being produced
and the massive amount of festivals parties and clubs dedicated to playing it.
The very fact that you can't embrace the idea that music transcends dance and culture
and the power of the mind and spiritualism and myriad other things shows that you truly
do not get the whole psy music mentality or lifestyle. There is so much more to the music than the obvious.
But it appears you really just don't get it and want to argue and bicker and make noise.
It's too bad (for you anyway)
Maybe you should seriously consider starting to watch MTV and listen to pop radio hits...
At least this music requires no brainpower (and everyone into it knows this so its not a problem)
Ok, so now I'm being a prick and maybe shouldn't - but in all honesty, this may just be too deep for you.
I really am sorry you don't get it.
Listen to some Brittney or Muse or Timberlake or Flo Ryda today... maybe it will make you feel better.
-
Absolum - Inside the Sphere
CPU - Central Processing Unit
Ocelot - Vector Selector - quite dark in parts
Space Tribe - Through the Looking Glass - one of my faves
Chromosome - DMT Cowboys - melodic morning
these are some great recommendations
I forgot to say that I do not mind the darker/twilight/sa side of Full-On
that Ocelot is awesome and so is DMT Cowboys
thanks again

You're the guy that says only old nostalgic hippies living in the past would want to listen to most goa trance, no? Who cares if you heard COP on the dance floor recently? If anything that's a reason to dismiss it, being played on dance floors hardly gives music credibility.
normally I don't chime in like this, but I am so sick of all the nonsense in the forums, like people have somehow lost their right to an opinion
or viewpoint without having to take abuse from some crazed fan of (fill in the name of artist/label/track/genre here) who can't stand it if someone else disagrees with their taste (be it good or bad or otherwise)
tired of it so here goes...
@on10
stop being a prick - people are just stating opinion, and here you come with the bashing
play easy would ya?
sheesh
trolls...
-
@laserflip
That is indeed a good plenty lot for the moment
I will dig in and see what's up.
Thanks for all the recommendations.
Appreciated...
Anyone else?

Ok, so we all know there is so much of this cheesy, unoriginal
"dance-floor-centric just to make a buck in the clubs" kind of full-on
being produced en masse every 5 seconds, but there must be some good right?
I just got finished listening to Tron's Biologic several times
and was really pleased with it - made me think there must be more.
So... I am asking psynews readers to post suggestions for good Full-On
without all the cheese - constant bad breakdowns and absurd build ups with no real punch,
whether you think its really banging dance floor music
or you just enjoy listening in a private setting but would prefer to dance to something else.
I'd love to see where people land on this one.
Have fun, please be nice to each other and let's see what happens.
Cheers everyone.

I love the old schoolers coming out with new albums
Guess they can't all be goa classics, but I welcome his new stuff
I'm definitely more of a fan of Blue Energy than Fiction
but I will give it a spin for sure
Should be interesting

its minimal - its tech - and its good
wouldn't call it trance by any stretch
but I do like it
and check that basilisk set, its good too
gives some good insight to the recent good
offerings from the tech/deephouse/proggy techno world
anyway - thanks for the good list of tracks
cheers

What would be spectacular to see is the list.
Got one?
Or is there a way to open a document here that people could add to?
We could all contribute to try and fill out the list.
I'd be willing to play just to see what that list looks like.
Question: are you counting 12"/Maxi/EP and so on or just full albums?
Interesting post if it could go somewhere more developed...
Cheers
-
thanks all
I feel educated now
see ya

You pronounce it the way you spell it, suo-mi
Suo = Swamp
So basically like Swami?
Cheers

Need help
English speaker seeks proper pronunciation of the word "Suomi"
someone break it down phonetically for me?
Would be greatly appreciated.
(been listening to Not My Cup of Tea comp all night, and finally just have to know)
Cheers
Favorite Darkpsy Style?

Can you recommend to me some of the best (in your opinion) bass/face melting stuff out there?
I've really been searching through this nice little subgenre and wanting to explore the very dark hard side of it, but would really dig some suggestions.
Everything I've been recommended as horror or core just doesn't seem to have enough bollocks.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers
