nicey nice, good production, good riffs, spankin bass

I was like "whoah, artist name and album title aren't immediately recognizable as tasteless nonsense... maybe the music is alright"
but it was just the same neo-goa sounds and melodies all over again. overproduced yet flat and muffled, pompous and ambitious yet completely uninteresting. melodies are either randomized or cheap spooky-movie-soundtrack ones.
no thanks.
-
damn, there are actual melodies
and they make sense
-
I'm not much for new psy but if there's something really slick, busy and well-produced with very big sentimental melodies and phat basslines and short track lengths I'm gonna love that.
Maybe Agneton knows something about this kind of psytrance? Some tracks in Tatsu's cheese thread were close.

I think it was "alpha centauri" by hallucinogen, in around 2003 when I was into eurodance and breakbeat stuff.
There was a great relief in finding that electronic music wasn't necessarily either sickly-sweet fluff or boring non-evocative empty attitude.

The other is exactly the type I don't really like, sounds too simple for me.
it's rhythmically precise, musically filtered, dynamic and not overloaded with processing. is that "too simple"?

(not psyt though)

I actually like older IDM. Some of the mid- to late '90s Warp, Skam and Rephlex stuff, for instance, have unbelievable melodic structure.
I might just be too ignorant of this style
some nice examples would do good

You could always try nineties intelligent techno or tech-house. That's what I listen to when psy-trance isn't warm/melodious enough.
I don't see how that music could satisfy the hunger for great, melancholic, climaxes. From what I've heard, the old, more ambient IDM has very dull and languid melodic tendencies.
Maybe I've missed something but I think a way better place to look for melodies and similar psychedelic mood to goa trance is psychedelic/folk rock but then we're sort of outside the electronic music domain.

I think that the main reason psy is not so psychedelic anymore is due to something that man cannot analyse easily: inspiration is related to a certain point in time, place, and it's finite because of that.
I have noticed it over a lot of different areas where talent is involved. In my case, I see it happening in music and in literature. Take rock, for instance, so we can draw a clear comparison
to what's happening in the psy scene.
Rock had its peak from the 1960s to the 1980s. Over that 20 years span, it went from Beatle's school of rock, to heavy metal and finally in 1980s to the synth-pop-rock.
All of these three different 'ages' had their peaks (personally I feel related to 1980s, I miss a lot what the likes of Van Halen, Whitesnake did), and then rock'n roll simply faded into a
tasteless state. What happened from 1990s then? IMO, we lost the 'romantic' aura that influenced 1960s-1980s generations. Back then there were more feelings (bad and good, dark and
light feelings) involved in the writing of a track.
Back to our psy scene, there were more feelings, opinions, backgrounds, feedbacks, experiences involved in the writing and producing of a track.
Also a lot of then psy producers had just crossed the line from synth-pop (or were influenced by dramatic groups like Depeche Mode, New Order, The Cure), and they brought this
load with them to psy.
That's why psy sounded more 'soulful' then. Today's psy is under the influence of the 1990s and 2000s, which were simply tasteless for music of every genre, save for hip-hop and
RnB - whose political anti-racial tracks not always are meaningful for people outside US and GB. Of course, there were some good acts, but they are not as rich musically as it was till the 1980s.
I have an example to cite: AC/DC, who with their last album just reached the sky. Why? Because they wrote their tracks exactly as if they were in 1980s. Listen to their albums, you'll
learn what I am talking about.
To psy again: we won't have another "goa atmosphere" as we had in mid 1990s-early 2000s. Places, religions, politics, travelling, the whole 2010s atmosphere itself have no room for "mystique" anymore.
We have, yes, room for high-end technology, but this can't replace the human factor.
In the end, I think Goa is past, a past in Glory mind you, we have now to expect a new wave of 'sentimental' tracks, which will not be related deeply to Goa.
IMO, this will come from NeoGoa scene, when it matures.
My 2 cents.
This, although simplified and a bit crude, is an interesting perspective on musical development!
-
IMO, the whole early 2000 tech-trance stuff is unbeatable in this aspect
yeah
-
lol, gratz on your 3k.
I actually kinda get what you mean, but you never said did you like the music or not.
Thanks! But I can't access Custom Title settings for some reason. In my profile it says 2985 posts, maybe that's why.
I think it's a nice album that does something new with goa trance.
-
Wow, after the first sentence I don't know what you said.
Mdk
It's probably all bullshit but it got me one closer to 3000.

Goa has become folk music and Goasia are preserving the legacy while expanding it.
The redundant phrygian patterns are not hidden like dirty, awkward secrets but instead proudly exposed. This allows them to serve as a solid basis for more playfully complex and distinct melodic structures. Just listen to the first track and hear how it begins with what quite possibly is the most overused note sequence in the genre, but then develops into an over-arcing theme that elaborates on and contrasts to the mandatory harmonic foundation. This approach lends the tonal derivativity a depth aspect that is otherwise lacking.
Music with history, not just in the commonplace cyber-ethnic cultural identity, but also in the way the actual phrases and arrangements are construed. Somehow it reminds me more of bands like Hidria Spacefolk than of other neo-goa.

Have you checked out the new Kiriyama album? He's doing the goa/forestdark crossover thing that many Scando artists have tried before, but IMO he's doing it much better than anyone else.
This seems interesting.
-
np: Ka-Sol - North South
this album is freaking nice, I wonder why it took me this long to order it?!
I really wanted to like it because I find the whole schlab thing rather sympathetic, but the tracks didn't have enough going on to maintain my attention.
NP some psychedelic folk/blues band called MV & EE, nice stuff.

You go Protoculture!
Well defended.

Hey People
I thought i'd pay a revisit since i stumbled in here while searching for reviews of "Archaic Modulation" by Stevie Be-Zet.
How has psynews been doing these past 6-7 years?
