FYI, according to the dictionary, homely = ugly.

Medicine Drum has the closest sound to Juno, imo. Try the older stuff first, though.
Shiva Chandra's first two albums are also <somewhat> a bit similar.
-
Koxbox - Life Is ... A Gas (X-Dream Mix)
Nervasystem - Liquid Lifeform
Darshan - The Beast
Psychonaut Vol.1 - the whole damn album
and lots of other ones...
-
-
Still some good decent ones left out..
Sensient and Membrana, Sirius Isness, Eskimo, Pop Stream, Xatrik, etc.
And the Talpa album is really from 2003 - that's when it was supposed to come out. took them a year!
much better poll than the last one, though. thanks.
-
I wouldn't put any of those albums even in the Top 5. maybe Aes Dana, that's about it.
-
in addition to the ones mentioned
Shidapu - The Puppet Master
is a nice song also..
IM had a pretty pioneering sound back in the day. Wish they'd keep evolving instead of sticking with what pays.
eh.

I didn't find Cassandra's Nightmare scary - more cartoon horror-trance. Still, one of my favorite psy albums ever.
I have to go check about Obscure Spectre. I could swear I had it, but then I may have been hallucinating at the time.
I do have Aurinko #1 on vinyl, though.
-
Sandman - Witchcraft just got remastered and re-released.
Cassandra's Nightmare is really good. Much better than Qlippoth, imo.
-
I've got it on Vinyl.
-
I like very psychedelic trance. And I play pretty much all of the genres - preferably tweaky music with some hints of melody. Talpa, Transdriver, Abnormal, Gappeq, Derango, Hujaboy, Sensient.. really don't like to pidgeonhole myself into a sub-genre. Psytrance is enough.
I strongly believe there's time and place where each (sub)genre shines more than others.
Well, except nitzonot maybe. but since it's not really psychedelic, it doesnt' count.

haha
Don't you guys remember that Skazi actually used to be GOOD a while back?
you don't?
I was actually making a compliment to BP Empire.
-
The Gathering is by far their best album. I'm not very fond of BP Empire at all, but I'm not going to rain on your parade.
Check out Skazi's old tracks for something a bit similar - somehow those two remind me of each other.

Don't you guys get tired of giving the same answers to the same questions every couple of days?
"Give me some recommendations for old school Goa" or "Top Ten classic Goa albums" or "Best Goa releases" or etc etc etc.
maybe a database file is in order. or a sticky on top of the forum, with all the top recommendations.

Gay doesn't mean 'homosexual' in this context. It means 'cheesy' or something like that. I like spelling it 'ghey' to differentiate from 'gay' as in sexual orientation.

Parvati's first two comps are missing. Also Tales from the Dark Forest, Oerebro Freakfactory 1,2,3, Steptime album, Trashlords vs. Psycho Micro, earlier Doof recs releases (like EST 1 and 2 for example), Schallabbaduerst comps, Earlier Dejavu comps, a bunch of Indian comps from different labels, Dark Nebula's early (and actually GOOD albums), Digital Psionics comps and lots of other Aussie stuff, first few Timecode comps (the best ones), the awesome Vertigo recs comp, Kemic-Al, etc etc etc etc. there's a gabazillion dark releases these days, too, that I can't really keep up with. Most of the stuff listed is pretty mediocre, unfortunately. The darker stuff has been getting worse lately. The music from a year or two ago is actually more interesting, since if it was new and different still.. these days both dark and full-on are getting boring. I'm finding stuff that getting back to that grey area that's not either. Call it 'psytrance.'
-
For old school progressive, check out old Son Kite and Ticon stuff on Flying Rhino and Acid Casualties (ACDC now), Jupiter 3000, Orichalchum, X-Dream - Radio, old Delta, Psychonaut Vol. 1, MOS, a lot of stuff on CreamCrop and Euphonic, Noosphere - Radiated, older Bigwigs, 12 Moons, etc.

BP Empire is Infected style. Really, what it sounded like to me was a watered-down dancefloor-oriented version of the first two albums. Same ingredients, only nothing really new or different. If BP Empire was my first psy album, or even my first experience of IM, I would think it was unique and amazing also. But it wasn't. And frankly, compared to the two older albums, it really doesn't measure up. Then, again, I know a lot of people who first discovered IM through BP Empire, and they love it. All the power to them.
but this thread is about the new album, so let's get back on topic. I never heard the new album, and probably never will. really sad that they went this way, imo, making music that's going to be forgotten in a couple of months. oh well.
cheers

I knew this B.P. Empire album would open up a whole can of worms. The fact of the matter is I cannot think of one album that sounds anything remotely the same as B.P. Empire. Therefore it is very original and unique bar none. I don't see how it can be classified as "commercial". I think why I love this album so much is cause the sounds they use I have never heard before. That’s what makes it so great. It’s like a whole new style.
you might want to broaden your horizons if you think BP Empire is "original" and "unique".
If you want something original and unique, try Humanoid, or the Vicious Spiral, or Onnomon, or maybe Derango, Gappeq, some Transdriver, older Jahbo, Neural Compost, Abnormal Project, Ocelot, Squaremeat, Loopus in Fabula, Kiwa, Sensient, Cujorius, etc etc etc.
/me gonna stop being a wise-ass now.
-
no way dude. The Gathering is much more psychedelic and intelligent than any other IM album. BP Empire is a commercial album with a couple of good tracks at best.
anyway, no use arguing because I'm right. besides i'm almost twice as old as you are, which makes me almost twice as right.
hah
DO YOU ? yés, well don't answer the topic
Xenomorph 3rd album
in General Psytrance
Posted
True, Xeno's last album was rather predictable..
If he could chug out anything close to Cassandra's Nightmare, it'll be a miracle. But hey, you never know.
