Yes, yes, YES, YES, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS. Silent night must be the best version evargh.

I suppose that's true. I don't really download music ever, so I guess it never occurred to me.
If you're interested, you can order a hardcover of New kind of world cheap here

Like'em both equally. They both have their distinguished style of producing. I still love AP, still enjoying their live shows. Can't wait for the new album.
-
Great. Can somebody tell me which track is being played in the video. Thanx.

Lucas has a keen eye for what psychedelic trance should be. Most of the tracks follow the same roadmap. The intro, and then it does its thing. Break, go a little further down the rabbit hole to another break, and then end furiously. It is a recipe that works and they do it well. The tracks are very hypnotic and have enough twists and turns to maintain interest. This compilation provides plenty of trippy sounds and groovy rhythms while at the same time giving a big wink to the old school sound. If you like what I just said then this cd is a must for you. Highly Recommended.
This.
Nice review.
Didn't like the Laughing Buddha album btw, it lacks the depth that this album provides.

Indeed a great article. You're doing a great job Richpa. Keep up the good work!

Both Insejn & RTP would be cool imo, maybe they can help eachother anyway somehow
That's a good notion, they would be quite complementary. RTP has his IT skills, Insejn his long experience as a mod.

Um..yeah I screw that up.
Surely, you can't be serious.

Maybe it would be useful, in order to vote for the right one, to know what these three possible new administrators are planning to do with the site. I guess they all want to approach this in a different fashion. It would make it easyer to vote, at least for me.
edit I posted this at the same time as Ouroboros, more or less the same as his question

Only one way to really find out what happened is to start it up again, no? If it get's hacked again, well... Like Ouroboros said, lots of other forums with OT seem to do rather good. Psynews can really benefit from an OT forum, people can get to know each other better etc.
I hope the one who takes over Psynews can take an OT-section into consideration when he tries to revive it.

Took this one out of my collection, it has been a while since I listened to it. One of my better cd's in normal trance.
First cd is the more mellow side of trance, second is more dark, heavyer with a twist. Both excellently mixed by Judge Jules. If you like good trance, this one is recommended.

Well, yes and no...there have always been workhorse orchestras/bands playing cover tunes as cheaply as possible. They didn't have to be brilliant, only good enough to bring some audience in. They didn't have to be creative. The same jazz and swing arrangements were played everywhere. If that's not purely commercial performing then what is? Similarly the rock era saw endless "The Whatevers" groups - essentially cloned boy bands of those days. You may have heard of the famous Beatles audition, where Decca stated that "guitar groups are on the way out". That's how generic the concept was already back then. They played mostly cover songs in that session, by the way. It's really nothing new that managers, promoters, record companies etc. try to make a quick buck wherever they can. The big audience is rarely looking for the best talent. Some simple entertainment will go a long way if marketed properly. That's how it's always been. Millions of teens want - and try - to be rock stars just for the money and fame, regardless of their true talent.
Nice reply, money ruled the world back then too, inevitably creating crapy copycat groups. But sometimes there were some pretty good bands too who tried to create something more original. These were the bands they still play today. The crappy bands people just forgot, so maybe it's a false assumption to state it was better in the old days. I just wanted to point out it's not all commercial that is crap. But I think we'll agree on that.

This was an awesome listen...a perfect combination of forest and goa. Thank you so much for piquing my interest. That is why these forums are so valuable.

I'm interested in this for reasons that have been mentioned before, not really into darkpsy, but the exceptions make up for it.
-
So, you're not kiddin'. Went to have a look at the normal trance thread and saw you did post some trance tracks.
-
underground =/= good music
mainstream/commercial =/= bad music
Enough said imo.
The Beatles were as commercial as commercial can get, with I don't remember how many nr 1 hits. The Beatles wrote some damn good music imo.
I agree, especially these days, there's a lot of commercial crap out there. In the old days you had to be a good musician more then nowadays when it's all about image. Still there are people who make good radiofriendly music imo. And I'm not talking about one specific genre.
Good and bad music is all about taste ain't it?
-
As a guy who loves mainstream trance, no I don't disagree with you.

Noticed a while ago that the poll is gone.

I'm glad Nate has found this thread and chose to comment here. I've bought his first album when it came out and liked it, it had some very emotional uplifting melodies. I even remember reading an interview with Nate about gettin signed to Nano. The label manager, I think his name is Ans, said that the sound of his demos was too trancey, not psychedelic enough.
Well, full circle I guess. I, for one, am not too happy about the way full on psy evolved these last years, but there's still stuff I can dig, in every subgenre...So I can understand Nates' sound shifting and I wish him all the best. I haven't heard any of his new stuff yet, but I will eventually, there's too much other stuff I gotta go through first.

The opposition of two extremes...
Things don't change... mentality neither. Like with any other case when we have two camps, two different parts in a competition, there seems to be no excuse when it comes to attempts of reconciliation.
It's been a mystery for me for years — why it isn't possible to perform a synthesis and try to follow both streams.
For many years I've been into both, mainstream and underground scenes and figured that these markers are extremely RELATIVE. There's a whole lot of examples of deep, profound, dark and intelligent trance in the mainstream scene (the type of music I'm into), as well as equal amount of flagrant trash in the so-called underground. When you have a clear vision of what you're finding fascinating in music, you can always recognize it anywhere, completely regardless of the genre.
What I'm finding sad in current situation is complete inflexibility when it comes to overseeing two scenes. Those who are into mainstream trance tend to never find their bearings in psytrance music, and the latter insist that the so-called mainstream trance is garbage by definition.
For years I've been a member of numerous communities that specialize in both, mainstream and underground movements (from Trance.nu (R.I.P.) to Psyreactor) and I haven't yet found a person who could equally appreciate regular and psychedelic trance, following both of them to equal extent and giving each its credit. I'm still asking myself: "why?". And I don't have any other answer, other than overly stereotypic way of thinking.
From the conviction that I've got, it's not about particular genre, but about particular mood, vibrations and "message" which can be found in music. It's not something so strictly attributed to "psytrance" or "epic trance". It's what can be found in both if you're a conscientious searcher.
Here we have a situation of crossing. And instead of re-considering it from the point of possible connection, people criticize it for getting out of control, when in fact it's a dim light of possible solution. Sad thing.
Not much can be said really... Expand your mind.
I really dig hexfires' comment on this. I prefer to listen and party to Goa/psytrance but I can really appreciate a good trance track, even with vocals. The same with other genres of music, as much as I love psytrance and psychill, I cannot listen to it the whole time. I stopped using the connotation "commercial" too because it just don't make sense to me. It's good or bad, period, you don't need to get all worked up on it.
Edit: Ormion is probably gonna post that I'm wrong, aren't you
Edit 2: I did read your post Mr Nate, you and only you make the decision which way to go artisticly and no one else. Respect! You just cannot please everyone.
Merry Christmas Psynews!

Merry Christmas to you all at PN. A brand new start for Psynews, best of luck to both Insejn and Mars.
