  1. its funny that it came after his post but

    the albums I am eagerly waiting are

    Elysium s downtempo and progressive cd s, both of them

     

    I hope Talpa experiments and comes up with something that can cause heated debates :)

     

    and some tribal, experimental, downtempo, trancey, acid friendly album :)

  2. well rather then a song

    I d like to remind for those who experienced it

    those looong tracks that can go up to an hour or more

    not mixes but I am talking about a single track

    I remember one time it was at a party at a desert

    3 guys started of with a single kick

    and build over it for hours

    twisted, turned crazy for over an hour

    those are really trancing for me

    but it has been long since I have seen those kind a live acts

    People who are not after albums but actually produce live psychedelic goa

    in free parties, if there ara still some please point me at the direction

     

    if we are talking about single tracks

    most early x-dream tracks along elysium tracks for me

  3. I think you cannot compare it to rockn roll in general

    psychedelic rock or acid rock can be compared, or else you have to say lifespan of electronic dance music

    and psy/acid rock, it sure did have a shorter lifespan than goatrance

    66-69 i would say

    rest is wannabe psyrock

    my father was into that, he lived in uk in swinging sixties and sventies

    and i was a serious psy rock listener whatever that means (maybe i say this because i have more than 700 titles at home)

    goa/acid/psy trance is going much better i think

     

    now people just put on and listen or collect (it is one of the most serious genre in music collection) but what elder friends or my father says, it was actually a dance/party thing just like goa :) then it went on the same route that we are on now

    generic, commercial, image only with few exceptions of old school wanabees of psyrock

    even grateful dead was not doing psy after 69 :)

  4. Solar Quest - Acid Air Raid

    but you mean the whole record, which track you re talking about

    or is there something else than the ep I have

    having that as a track name

     

    and yeah we know chris liberator, i actually had a chance to listen to him live too but I tried to say, I am not asking acid trance here

    I am talking about psychedelic goa trance so come on (though some very close tracks were around)

    and howling at the moon is one of my fave too

    and you say it was not 303

    then whatever is that i am going for that emulator

    and yeah the famous sh101 tweaked basslines also gave me lots of thrills and chills, come on people spill out the gems, there must be some stuff we ve been missing :)

  5. @tatsu

     

    its not about the beat being beautifully programmed or playes

    as you say it can be boring or dull

    hell it may only be a kick and another sound (whatever)

    still it can put you into trance

    that repition

    and beat doesnt mean a kick and a hihat along usual percussion

    it can be some other sounds that repeat itself in a certain rythm

    a frog, along crickets and wind are sometimes crazy trance inducing

  6. If you trust my word no need to study

    I have a few years back for the base of my thesis

    There are a lot of cultural anthropologists that has studied along doctors

    you can find many studies reating to Australian Aborigine trance rites

    And they match my above quote which I found more easy to understand connected with goa

     

    by the way if you wanna check out the anthropolists

    check

    Durkheim, Emile, The Elementary Forms of Religious Life, Translated by Karen E. Fields. The Free Press, 1995

  7. There is also a bilogical part of trance

    Trance states also has something to do with bpm

    here is the quote that I ve also used in my ma

     

    “ The issue of tempo is an interesting one considering the possible relationship between the musical tempo and human brain physiology. The frequency alpha waves in the brain, critical in inducing trance states in humans, lies approximately between 8 and 12 cycles per second, and varies from one person to another. Many traditional trance-inducing music of the world contain rhythmic elements which mirror these rates. Typically performances start at the lower level and increase over a period of hours towards a higher level. The gradual increase in frequency allows for the variation in different human alpha wave frequencies. In Goa Trance there is a constant stream of 16th notes which when played at a suggested average of 144 bpm yields a flow of musical events at an average of 9.6 cps. This situation parallels of traditional trance music”

  8. After all these years whenever I think I am through with it

    I hear it again and I go bananas

    it was one of the first sounds that had infiltrated my head

    what are your favourite 303 moments/tracks

     

    like

     

    Green Nuns of the Revolution - Ring of fire

    Talking Souls - Karma 209

     

    not like

     

    Spect-R - Acido Flamenco

     

    its not that I do not like all 303 lines, I fell for it everytime :rolleyes: , but I am talking about the ones that you feel the 303 is screamiiiiiiiiiing in your head, and the resonance and cutoff will twist further on that it will turn your inside out and ... whatever ok so tell me your fave tracks/moments fellow 303heads

  9. true Pysko Disko was great

    but is it underrated??

    they were quite known and well respected in the scene

    at early goa parties you could hear a track from them surely

    they also have organized mostly fred I guess a lot of parties too

    maybe the scene was small to make them known for a lot of people

    but that few people loved them as far as I know

    hmm maybe underrated now you mean

    I still play and love my psyko disko vinyl

    :)

  10. full on was a term then and I liked to say it

    it didnt mean that bassline and that kick

    it meant it was a crazy song and you d loose your breath dancing to it

    we also used it for uber trippy songs

    so the word was used in its own meaning i guess

    green nuns - ring of fire was full on to me

    listen to that full blast in open air and tell me its not

  11. this "they can only play for us" thing sucks big time

    while we re making free outdoors around turkey

    someone actually made a deal with israely artists (can be with him too but i am sure it is phonokol are they connected)

    that they can only play at their parties

    and they told me this as if it is something important

    i laughed my ass off and told him we do not care

    i for myself in our parties do not want big names

    that is what f*cked the scene in my opinion

    dj plays anything they like, anywhere they like, anytime they like

    have these people never been to an actual PARTY

    or do they think the word party means something else

    i for my part know that this music will change too, and it should

    but the idea behind the party situation stays

    FREEEEEEE in EVERY SENSE OF THAT WORD

    to keep it that way we ll evolve and stay underground and probably leave making parties and back up younger kids or we go mainstream and commercial there is no other way

    I hope younger kids come up with new and creative ideas so crazy that it would be nearly impossible for me to listen to, but i ll be there backing them up

     

    so f*ck all these people who think they ve become something while that something has become them

     

    may sound offtopic but its not I guess

  12. turkish kids died

    because of their f*cked up father

    guy sees a dead chicken on the field

    and tells his children to take it home

    to eat, its obvious it died because of some sort of sickness

     

    of course its because of poverty at the same time

    this happens in variety of forms all around in poor countries

    poor people eat whatever they find they do not or can not think if it is safe or not, it could ve been another disease as well

     

    they contacted the chicken held it, most probably toyed around with it until they took it home, and they ve got infected, sorry for them

  13. -I- think its quite funny

    to dislike samples

    and listen to electronic music

     

    sample cd s or whatever

    even hardware synths can have samples on them

    and why do you care

    I had the samples shpongle used

    it didnt irittate me it inspired me to hear how he used them

    and from single hits to vocals, pads... much of stuff we hear are samples anyway

    do you people make every single drum sound out of your own recordings or completely out of analog synths :o

    its like fsol said we re not musicians we re collage artists

    and i dont care what artists they are or what art it is, it is the aesthetic experience that takes me beyond my natural states, f*ck the rest

     

    I like listening to music and floating and going beyond

    not thinking how it is done, who did it, why he did it

    THE MUSIC is there to experience at all

  14. Well about the variety of styles I think Soulclipse is a winner

    This is the most diverse line up I have ever seen and it is good

    Normally big parties is not my cup of tea

    I like small small parties in remote locations but that doesnt matter now-

     

    When my friends ask me how big is the line up or how varied the line up is, my I answer is "it is so big and varied even I am playing :)"

    The good part about it is most people I ve met along the road for years are coming down for this one, I do not care much about who is playing but I care about who comes to see these guys :)

    eh and there are some artists I ve missed and some artists I loved and could ve never listened like kris himself. Its different for everyone. I personally do not like full on but remember being crazy at a festie (full moon 2 years ago) when it was playing because the totality of the experience was incredible at that moment, not only music...

    I also enjoy djs more than artists cause they can play any artist they prefer but artists chooses mostly to play their own tracks, and there used to be and still are very good djs, after all the main reason I got into electronic music scene was because I did not have to watch and adore big names but just get into the music itself. Anyways I am heading offtopic.

     

    The lesson of the day: Soulclipse is the biggest and most diverse line up ever in a psy festie as long as I ve seen (diverse staying in the psyscene, or else there are festies even with rock, elektro and psy together)
