  1. Dear Psynewsers,

     

    It has been brought to our attention that certain ex-members are not happy with what is said about them on this forum, and are threatening to file a lawsuit against the owner of the forum and its moderators. As we can not control each and every thread for "slander" we will have to trust in that you wont slander any member or ex-member. If we see that someone is slandering a member or ex-member it will result in immediate temporary ban.

     

    We are very sorry for the inconvenience, and we hope that you understand the seriousness about this.

     

    Thank you all for your support!!

     

    Regards,

     

    The Psynews Team

     

    P.s. Please do not speculate in which members would have complained or threatening to sue, that would count as slandering as well. D.s

    Shit. I will try my best.

  2. Downloading this now.

     

    I take it the correct way to listen to this is on a pair of Sony MDR-V700's at top volume, low lighting, incense perhaps and a large joint of the finest cannabis in London?

  3. ..and had the radio on. It's been months since I had that aural garbage on, but since my ipod died and my CD player is crap, I hadn't a choice. I couldn't help but notice how crappy every song sounded. Ok, some of the instrumentation was alright, but then the lyrics come in. Always shite, so boring, so stupid. So, as a contribution to the lyrical side of music, I made this melodic montage of nonsense.

     

    Medley of Crap

     

    Medley of Crap 2

    Hahhahahaha!!!!!

     

    Your so talented dude. Top quality stuff!!! :lol::lol::lol:

  4. Nemo returns with another cracking original mix. I lose sleep waiting for his TekkTrance mixes to arrive, as the first and second were absolute belters. Nemo loves to play "good music", sometimes regardless of style or age. The result is always something fresh, flowing and never boring.

     

    I can already tell from the first track that I am going to be listening to this mix a lot. I personally regard Nemo as the most talented DJ on this forum. Mainly because of his disregard of playing whats "new", "cool" or "in" this month, and just playing good fucking music.

     

    I will post again once Im done listening to the whole mix, but I can already tell its going to be one of my favourites so far.

     

    Nice one bruv. :clapping:

  5. Ive given this album a listen now.

     

    When you look at as nothing to do with psytrance, but an original peice of work.....it isnt actually half bad.

     

    Production is top notch, but there are a few dodgy tunes.

     

    8/10? I think thats a fair score. Mainly because it doesnt sound like the generic shit out there. They at least tried to do something different.

     

    I like it.

  6. I wish to thank Feathers for introducing me to Porcupine Tree, prob one of the best bands I have heard in ages. Very deep, emotional and atmospheric, this is truely amazing stuff.

     

    Do yourself a favour and give it a listen.

     

    And if you have been living under a rock, also give Tool and Perfect Circle a chance. It pwns ur puny pie trance.

  7. My views on the matter are as follows:

     

    (1) First of all I think Trentmoller is vastly over-rated. Frankly, I do not understand what the fuss is all about.

     

    (2) Isan and Schnauss are not that great either (Isan better than Schnauss). Although I confess to having purchased their albums in the past and still consider Isan's Lucky Cat to be a very nice release. It is not a bad label, but a lot of the Morr Music releases can be a bit iffy (although there are some fine ones as well...).

     

    (3) I bloody hate the term "IDM". Particularly when it is used to describe stuff like the above artists.

     

    (4) I, too, think that a lot of the Psy chill stuff is glorified muzak. And, yes it is the Entheogenic, Schulman style generic stuff which really gets my goat.

     

    This is not to say that there are not plenty of interesting psy chill tracks - there are, and I will happily concede as much. However, a lot of tracks should simply not be released. Of course, I do appreciate that this is an accusation that can also be levelled at 'regular' psy trance as well (e.g. the full-on, or the dark psy).

     

    I do not believe that saying "psy-chill sucks" is necessarily being unconstructively negative. Rather, I feel it can also be taken as a pointed lamentation which perhaps some might treat as a exhortation to improve quality in the genre (ignoring the matter of how ill-defined the "genre" is), . Hopefully, it will also encourage us to seek out the better releases and share the information with others in wonderful sites such as this one.

     

    In its defense, it can be said that while a lot of the psy chill is clearly an unambitious and less challenging form of music, it nevertheless can still achieve its aim - to provide some relaxing music. In this context, much of psy chill does 'work'. Perhaps, this is destiny (in some cases, the overt aim) of much of the psy chill body of music.

    Finally, I do want to make it quite clear that I do buy psy-chill here and there.

    Perdro make more sense in 1 post than others make in hundreds. -_-
