Loaning money so that they can buy your stuff...America perfected the art
-
Lol ?

This, plus keep in mind procyon not everyone has to follow the german model or way of life.
Also keep in mind that Germany has its blame about corruption as well (towards the south). I am not talking only Siemens here but also the fact that you loan money to someone and with these borrowed many he buys your products ... So you both take a big part of your loan back PLUS he owes you the money ... This is not 'corruption' technically but I think this shows that things are not black and white.
As far as "respected" and "economist", it sounds like a joke when these 2 words are adjacent.

German premier Angela Merkel is right: Greeks - and other Mediterranean nations - need to stop living as if they're part of the top of the financial pyramid and work more, rest less.
That's total bullshit for the most part of it, Ormion is right.
I think you should stop paying so much attention to the media when it's about to form an opinion.

Hah I totally missed that too I would only vote for Battle of the Future Buddhas - Diggin' Mud and D-Dave - Pleading Insanity though
-
I listened to it, I have no idea what it is and it doesn't sound like goa or psy at all, plus I think it's really bad hah why would you want to recognize that ?
-
Veracohr I like Botch a lot, some of the best hardcore really.
Converge is a classic band in that genre as well :

I^m not sure what you want to say about hip-hop. I mean back in 2000 you cold also find a lot innovative stuff in the psy genre. but we have 20102 now... i just used hip-hop and rock (rock in general but also subgenres like Metal, Hard-Rock and some others that I know) to show that imho psy is not that much more or less innovative than other styles that exist for long.
I can agree for hiphop ... Still that 33 Funk is released 2012 and I consider it innovative, however I recognize it's the excpetion to the rule. Plus we have other fusions like glitch-hop experimental etc.
About Rock that's a pretty superficial comment although excused since u haven't dug deep enough ( just look at how many fusions/sub-genres exist ).
I brought the example of techno as well.
Well, let's just hope psy will evolve in the future and it's just a phase... Let' see
I also think you can sound unique without bringing a whole new innovation to a style. If you manage to create a special vibe, style or combine known elements new. But that's another story.
Hehe, then that's innovation by definiton, no ?
-
But I haven't heard a rock or hip-hop album which I have to rate as "I've never heard something like that before". Or if I did then it is a new style/sub-genre. So I personally fail to see why psytrance should be more alive or dead than any other genre that is not new.
By rock u mean classic rock like Scorpions? Or use rock as an umbrella term for eg hard rock,psyrock,punk,metal etc? If it's the latter then it's obviously wrong.
As for hiphop there has been innovation there as well at least until 2000.
But how far can you push it until it is not really psy anymore? I mean those discussions arise with every new styll: is dark (or the more commercial releases, prog, full-on and so on) really psyish enough to be called psy? I do think so but the discussions are there.
The answer is yes. Goa,dark,forest,suomi,minimal,prog, all are psychedelic trance.
X-Dream mixed techno with psytrance and that was called tech-trance.
If something has many elements of a genre it might be called like this.But even if it's not that genre, what does it matter?
For me something being alive is not only stated by the level of the innovativity that is shown but by amount of releases that (for my personal taste of course) stand out.
I agree.
I'm amazed to see that when checking out psy I can still find gems. The Talpa album is one and imho it is even rather unique (unfortunately...).
Never got into Talpa and this new song is below average for me sorry
It seems you are not able to find intersting releases anymore. Which is sad but saying that because of that a style is dead or dying is imho a bit silly. It is just your own perspective as a listener, means it's once again about personal taste.
As much as your perception about psy being alive is subjective.
When did I claim any objectivity?It is needless to say anything we speak is based on our own individual perceptions.
It's dead for me and alive for you.
Also because if I am wanting to hear something completely different I do not dig in the style I know for 10 or 15 years but into other styles
Now that's contradictoy.At first you say it's not about innovation but the amount of releases that stand out. Meaning you don't have a problem with releases that follow the same formula as long as they do it well, but then you say you can't dig something that follows a 10-year recipe so you look for something different.
I still listen to music I listened 5 or even 10 years before and I don't have a problem if something new follows the classic goa recipe for example but is executed well.Neo-goa is almost like that actually, with different production but I haven't found much stuff executed well.

The more/longer you listen to 1 specific genre, the more critical you become and the less you like all the music (you remember the first year you listen to psytrance? You liked it ALL
. Now you listen to 100 tracks, and "only" 5-10 tracks give you goosebumps.Hm Anoebis I get your point but for me it was mostly the opposite. At first I liked pretty much specific sound (I was a sucker for melody), for example when I heard GMS - No Rules for the first time I was like what the fuck is that shit but now I like the sound. It's certainly true that the more music you hear the more critical you get but at the same time I get more diverse and open as well and that makes things complex and chaotic and more interesting hehe.
Tatsu I will respond to u laters, for now I will only comment that 'innovative' is rather self-explanatory. To give an example most of the big psy/goa pioneers have been innovative one way or another at least a couple of times, and as for more recent examples, Derango,Electrypnose,Psykovsky and even Kindzadza as their started were for sure innovative.

Nice reply I liked that
) I have thought if I would ever get the skills to make a fusion of post-punk/hardcore/post-hardcore etc with psytrance. One's forms with other sounds etc. PsIDM or IDMpsy would also be interesting. I think only Electrypnose has been in these realms a bit with a couple of tracks from his innovative "psychill" (much more than that) album Subliminal MelancholiesI am talking two tracks here, "New Wave" and "This is the beginning". Too bad none of them is on youtube, I might upload laters. Here u go : This was innovation back in 2006

Bluetech also did something similar in some of his most recent albums, a fusion of his usual chill sounds in IDM forms. The result was nice enough.

Is Psytrance suffering from fatal illnes mate?
-
Will check the tracks out soon-although neither used to be my cup of tea from what I've heard of them-, until then maybe that's a proof it's not dead, although the tracks are not 2012 but maybe even going back to 2008 etc with maybe some new tracks. EDIT# Which means it's not really a proof against psytrance fatal illness huh. But I just recalled it was a nice set and even slightly impressed me.

More on topic, I would love to see some discussion and opinions on my last relatively long wall of text. Prove me that this forum doesn't suffer from fatal illness too mates.
-
^ I think this is rather not necessary as a distinct sub-genre. I call Colorbox goa trance and I call MFG goa trance too, or cosmosis even which is even 'softer' than both MFG or Colorbox

Also he mentioned psybreaks (which has like what, 10 albums?) but not dark psy or goa trance ....
-
I think he tries to get the psytrance point across more mainstream audience.
But
The Psy Trance tag is misleading. Under the Psy Trance umbrella you'll find a wonderful world of various styles of music: breaks, house, techno and progressive, as well as the most common sound it's notorious for: 145 BPM pounding madness, or “Full-On” as it's known in the scene.
Grin....
Nice text otherwise

You forgot dark/night goa like Cydonia,UX,Kundalini and some Battle of the future buddhas & Schlabbaduerst Rekkords in general tracks

I do feel like I owe you an apology, I was too fast to judge.
No worries mate -))

7% but they are bound to fall I think, they are to stupid to handle this publicity. Out of which obviously the "true" neonazis are much less.
Anyhow it was the first time we had a leftist(not stalinist) party get 18%.
