Ye quite funny. For like 2 seconds. When every other track being dropped is some really questionable remix then it becomes quite tedious. I must have heard that 'sweet dreams' remix about a billion times this summer *yawn*

bwahahahahaha good topic!!!
I'd just like to say that not onLy do I think these remixes are BAD but also very WRONG! You know, there was a small, and I mean very small element of amusement when I first heard a remix, can't exactly remember which was the first I heard, but the novelty wore off even before the end of the track. I can't remember who's set it was at Boom 2004, there were a whole host of really bad sets played there, but someone managed to play a madonna remix of something (created by fatali I believe) closely followed by a DALLAS THEME TUNE REMIX!!!! This sort of thing is surely CRIMINAL!!!!!!!!!!! Mwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!

Progressive is very different. I'll give Emok a try
Ye do! Emok rocks! He's partly responsible for the Iboga record label, so I have much respect for him - Iboga being my fave label. Excellent dj
Don't you think listeners of progressive trance have been listening to trance for a longer period of time? Did you listen to GMS, Infected & Crew when you first got into psy? That's me right now, but I got an older e-music (in general) background. That's why I am moving faster into progressive trance, some ambient/chill-out music. I spent as much time on the chill out @ Sonica as I did on the main floor.
Yep for sure, I think most people's introduction to psytrance is with these artists. I used to love GMS when I first discovered psy, and spent many an hour stomping the night away to artists such as this. But like you say, I think a lot of people who have been listening to psy for a while make the move over to progressive. I don't want to generalise, but this is the case for a lot of people I know. To me it always sounds fresh, not like the [controversial comment]generic sounds of other more maintream psytrance artists[/controversial comment].

Check out anything on liquid sound design
Ultimae records are also fine when it comes to chilled stuff (responsible for the farenheit series and other artists such as the previously mentioned HUVA network)
Gotta love a bit of chill

I completely agree.
The only time I saw a psytrance DJ keep the crowd anxious for the next beat of a song was while listening to Astrix's medley of 4 different songs (GMS, Infected and 2 of his own productions), but that too sounded pre-made.
Interesting to note that the examples of psy artists that you use are the ones that generally people listen to when they first get into psytrance (GMS/Infected etc) and to be fair I don't think these are a fair representation of the psy scene as a whole. Compared to a progressive psy set for instance I think the crowds are very different.
The best example that I have experienced myself is the progressive stage at Voov, where you will see this:
The crowd never goes so crazy, movements are measured, more sensual and anxiety is often in the eyes of the dancers waiting for a minute for this same note to be repeated and then releasing a minimal change that - YES! - will free them to let their body loose, raise their arms, smile and shout elegantly.
yet it is still very psychedelic.

Gaudium - "Nordic Nature":
http://www.discogs.com/release/490914
First artist album on Spiral Trax in a year & the waiting definately paid of!
My album of 2005 so far. All those who think Jaïa - "Fiction" is the best progressive to come out this year should also give this baby a listen...
Best stuff since Freq's "Strange attractors" imo!
Will get to full review when I can find the spare time, so do me a favour & get the ball rolling already? (** DP? **)
Agree, have been loving the Gaudium album since I got it last week! Fresh new sounds!
-
Soul Surfer for me is definately progressive - the dude from soul surfer is one half of andromeda or something, it's the same style of sounds. Well that's the impression I get when I listen to their album Surfer's Paradise! MMmmmmmmmmm progressive grooves!
-
Well you know, for a few months I haven't had any new music. I have been suffering financial strife and music unfortunately hasn't been a priority. It's felt like a lifetime, I'm gagging for new tunes, so anyway, I finally got the following:
Gaudium - Nordic Nature
Frechbax - Frech
Andromeda - the remixes
Antix - twin coast discovery (finally)
Hello new music!!
-
I also somehow have 2 copies of the chakra journey on cd, does everyone have a spare copy? I dunno how it happened. Anyway, all my stuff is stored at the moment, so I can't be of help. Apologies. Just thought it was wierd how all these 'spare copies' of the chakra journey are floating around. Mwah!

this
- Workshops (NO workshops, business only. Oh! sorry.. if you’re referring to the guy HANDCRAFTING CREPES..)
and this
- Robot Shows (no robots unless you would consider the chemical toilets as big androids after taking some pound of mdma and a handful of lsd crystals)
just made me laugh - a lot
Fair enough! Nothing more disappointing than saving up all year to go to a international festival only for it to be nowhere near as good as your expectations. Sorry that this party was such a disappointment
I have to say omni festival in spain was also very disappointing for me this year, by far the most disorganised party I had ever been to. Soundsystem was awful, decor half-hearted etc, but I managed to have a good time, helped by the fact I was with a great bunch of people.
dude you made me smile though, even though this is meant to be a serious whinge

i thought tsuyoshi suzuki stopped playing psytrance about 5 years ago.....
-
Ye oryx - advanced retromodel is a fiiine album
I'm voting for freq, purely on the basis of his live act which was the most rocking I've seen I have to say, generally I love anything released on iboga OOOh yesh
-
[controversial]you could try asking the man himself on this thread, he's already answered one request for track info regarding his set at VooV![/controversial]

That sucks - another one bites the dust eh.
-
I think it's on the Tipworld compilation Imagi:Nations Part one, track 3 by Save the Robot, and it's called 'Painted Dove'.
Guffaw guffaw.

Czechtech has had a heavy police presence for the last few years, so it's hardly surprising that they went in with full on riot gear this time. Last year it was a similar deal. In the UK it's very hard to throw a legal outdoor gathering, and I am assuming it's the same over in Czech. Outdoor parties are often busted by the powers that be.
Czechtech has got itself a reputation as one of the biggest teknivals europe has to offer, so people will undoubtedly go there, whether its going to be legal or not. I suspect each year more and more people go, and so the authorities just get more and more heavy handed. It's a sad fact, but that's how it is, the authorities are not going to change their mind.
The only way to get gatherings to happen nowadays in places such as czech where its hard to throw legal parties is to keep them hush and keep them on a smaller scale. A good party doesn't have to comprise 500 rigs or whatever. I'm by no means saying that I agree with what happened, its fucking outrageous that people just wanting to have a good time are faced with such force. But that doesn't mean that we can't have a 'revolution', it's just that the 'revolution' may have to take a slightly different format than a few thousand people and a shitload of rigs. *shrug*

Apparently its GMS. I've heard people talking about this track - to me it's bad AND wrong. Terrible track to begin with. Urgh. Remixes suck.
where is the new dark minimal/prog
in General Psytrance
