Of course it is, and I don't want to condemn someone's musical taste. But I just don't like full-on...I think in the end you still end up with melody,with passing years BPM silently slowing down.

Personally I think all this full-on stuff is just boring in most cases. Good psytrance can also be used chilling in your garden or whatever, but it's quite impossible with bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-trance like it seems to be so popular. what about gentle and/or hypnotising melodies and grooves? I heard a Kindzadza CD once...what is that? slider up&down-trance!

Okay, thank you all for your suggestions! I will look into it...

I think that nowadays psytrance is way too dark and predictable. I'm looking for that driving, epic, groovy & 'crystal clear' melodic trance with surprising angles/samples. The kind of trance that tells a story, a long story. So not those (in my opinion) somewhat boring techno-progressive-minimal influences... also melodic doesn't necessarily means 'Israëli' for me. It's hard to describe what I mean, but maybe it's something like SST's "Lightbeams", but more funkier? groovier? deep melodic trance, but still very danceable. If someone knows good compilations, artists or labels, please let me know!
