Inducted Consciousness

That is actually a pretty good idea, even if these values can be found out through simple experimentation. Although for key signature, I don't think some of these new teen-bopper Fruityloops producers would actually know what it is. Alright, excuse my mild humour.

I was actually thinking about making a post like this, following up on the Vin Diesel and Chuck Norris jokes with Simon Posford jokes. But enough rambling, let me contribute: - God was listening to "LSD" when it created the universe. - Simon Posford's music is illegal in 106 countries worldwide because of it's highly known hallucinogenic and psychedelic effects. - Every recorded sound that Simon Posford emits or creates is in one way or form, just an unreleased Shpongle track. - The reason Simon uses hardware for his production is because whenever he uses a VST, the computer goes into a spastic, psychedelic screensaver that continues without end. The Apple Simon used for Shpongle actually is just a frozen computer that is there for show. - One needs to wear gloves and sealed atmospheric protection suits to handle the master gold disc of anything with Simon Posford's sounds on it, not because they wish to keep it pure, but because if it makes contact with any human being, it will vaporize them, transforming them into a bunch of gaseous fractals. - Simon Posford never actually needs to touch the knobs, dials, and buttons on his studio hardware; he just goes near them, and the controls go into a trance-dance in his presence. - A being can only travel faster than light travel if one is listening to "Alpha Centauri". - Simon Posford has traveled back in time to tell every great and significant musician in existence what to create. - An "Ohm" is defined as a "Sound originating from Simon Posford". - Raja Ram needed to be put into rehabilitation for two months because he heard Simon Posford humming in the shower. EDIT: Crap, spelt LSD incorrectly.

A slight moist glaze was close to appearing over my eyes after listening to this.

Wow, this stuff sounds...refreshing. Is that tune "Disappear Here", a goa-break? I am definately adding this group to my bookmarks.

Yes, this scene does have an ego. When you start thinking that your "trance-dance" music parties will commune with the dark spirits of shadows, beach shale, and chai will save the world with a powerful message of world harmony, that psytrance parties will eventually bring a social revolution, and that psytrance DJs will need to mend peace around the world to stop WWIII in 2012, I think you have an ego on your hands. As for this forum itself, nah.

I liked a few songs from Medicine Drum.

I almost only buy my psytrance CDs from saikosounds.com. Their support is good, and the samples they offer for the CD previews really help me decide if a CD is worth getting or not. Just for that I like to support them by buying CDs from there. It is usually the fastest way to get CDs, considering that it takes the same amount of time to come from Hong Kong as it does to come from Germany or the United Kingdom, well perhaps a bit longer from Hong Kong. I don't really like collecting antiques of old Goa LPs from 1996, so I don't even try. My music has always had more essence in digital form.

Most of the popular techno of today, usually just uses the Roland TR-909 ,TB-303, sometimes the TR-808, and perhaps some Junos, in attempt to sound like some rythm machine. However, there is alot of techno that necessarily isn't tech-trance that sounds interesting, particularly because it doesn't limit itself to those instruments to sound like straight-up dance music, but attempts to sound more machine-like and interesting, even if it still almost exclusively rythmic. However, I haven't heard stuff like that in a long time. As for Midimiliz, I heard a few of their tunes, and I liked their stuff, although their stuff sounds more akin to dark techno, perhaps even industrial techno, than psychedelic tech-trance.

Well, Skazi might be nice in person, but his public demeonor ticks alot of people off in the psychedelic trance world. Tell me honestly, does this board when making fun of Skazi rip more into the group's music being popular or all the quotes and pictures of Skazi doing rockstar-esque stuff? I won't find specific threads, but I have reason to believe that people here don't like him because of his attitude. Even though his current music is bad, there is also alot of other bad music to compare his stuff to at the moment. Skazi's uniqueness to get on the bad side of psynewsers seems to stem not particularly from his bad music, but because he acts so egotistical and pushes his stuff out to the masses so much in the public light. Even if he is a cool person, sometimes an artist needs to have a persona as a publician, which although isn't very prevalent in this scene because it is so underground, still exists in some spots, which is the especially the case with Skazi. Remember that incident where he made that myth that he was killed in a car crash, doing that just to gain publicity? Those are the sort of things that people don't like about him- that he is a rock-star and publician first and musician second. But even holding musicianship as a lower priority, his crap is still not to monarch of poo-poo.

Yes, because this is a soft tune, the production will need some work to give it some more power. That trippy acid line that gets repeated throughout the song could use some variation. I would recommend an extra very low bass to help guide the tune in some places. I am liking how this track moves all over the place, but the transitioning between different parts of the track could use a little bit more work. But most importantly work on the trippy lead, making it's effects stand out and branch off into other micro-layers. I apologize for the pinpointed criticism, but it is a decent track with potential to really roll all over the place.

Interesting tune- although it isn't mind blowing, it is a pretty catchy line, even if the song gets a bit monotonous. I must say that the bassline is interesting. This song seems like it is in it's infant stage though, so keep working on it and adding more variance and layers.

His rockstar-like attitude really tends to tick people off; I can't count how many killargh pictures I have seen with him and other psytrance producers/musicians. However, despite his newer tracks sounding poorly assembled, I found some of his older stuff to be pretty decent dark full-on. OT: Hey Ormion, I have the exact same Cthulhu plushie model from your avatar sitting on my desk right next to me . I suspect that the Cthulhu will turn me insane very soon, if it hasn't already .

The topic title is misleading.

This file has been lurking on the net for a while now. Having listened to it about a month ago, my first impressions were relatively good. I thought the melodic line worked well within the song, although in some areas the typical full-on effects turned me off from it, especially the "Games in Trance" chant and the obligatory hallucinogenic drug line. Even though that~ bassline is there, and it presents itself as a laid-back fun tune, I still enjoyed listening to it. Now I must prepare the fire-retardant suit for liking a full-on song.

Even though I love dark melodic psytrance, I am no expert connoisseur. Besides the recommndations already given, I would recommend some Bypass Unit and Cybernetika, who has posted on this forum some good melodic dark psytrance/goa tunes.

I never have seen Simon Posford, but he was doing a set for Hallucinogen and Younger Brother last week in NYC, and I inconveniently missed his show because I did what, scheduled the show on the incorrect date.

Yeah, about random sounds imitating the bassline, one time I was a passenger in an old car, and I thought if I could isolate the idling engine sound and decrease the tempo of the sample, I could create quite a killargh bassline. As with breaks in trance, I don't see a problem with it when attempting to enter the hypno-trance state. The problem is that many musicians don't know how to transition the break correctly, so it ends up sounding more like a hold your breath break than a break that explains an actual development in the trance, if that makes sense. Although I typically don't listen to music most of the time to get into a trance, rather to just listen to some interesting and good music. I find that there are other ways music can be hypnotizing rather than the typical trance method, which although may not be equivalent, is still mind-altering nonetheless.

Nice track; I am especially liking the introduction. I would only recommend in the latter third of the track that maybe some effect or layer is added in just to keep it flowing a nudge better. But rather than that, the track is quality stuff.

This video doesn't doesn't do much in the realm of actual reasoning and arguing about the specific conspiracy theory rather it attempts to collage a bunch of images and videos together in order to hold a convincing advertisement for the conspiracytheores.org website. Now I want a real ki666argh darkpsy video where a ascetic goes into the middle of a deep forest and gets lost, only to end up being taunted and played with by a bunch of spooky creatures in the forest, not to forget the random images of the apocalypse by the hands of GMO crops, nuclear reactors, and legislators who make pot illegal.

I am limited to what I have listened to, but I would put these tracks down for their tranciness, at least for me personally. Transwave - The Rezwalker (London Live Remix) X-Dream - Trancesylvania X-Press Ian Komosa - Lunaressence

I personally have nothing against Burning Up or the video that I just showed. I just found it slightly funny that Astral Projection is now making happy candy rav0r tunes when years ago their songs weren't so warm to appeal to a crowd like that. The song itself is catchy and cheesy, but their is nothing wrong with that as long as it isn't formulaic and uninspired, where many mad-libs Euroclub Trance fall under.

Poorly made music combined with a poorly constructed message about the Skull & Bones being a satanic society sought on nothing less than sublimally taking over the country. I agree though, the bassline was Ki666aRgH! As for the issue of political messages in psytrance, I don't think it is a big deal, personally. If psytrance already has sound clips from plenty of other sources with the objective of talking about how great LCD or magic mushrooms are, or how aliens are going to take over the compound in 12 hours, why not extend the sampling to include figures in politics and the news? Sometimes controversial attention is what really brings out a song or an artist. I do contend my point that artists can use this controversy to popularize a song that would otherwise be total sewage waste.

Chakra & Edi Mis - Barbarian The acid line in this track is splendid.

Yeah, I put on the Sigilweaver album one time my friends and I were playing Perfect Dark Zero and they actually thought it flowed well with the game. For an album I thought was aquired for psytrancer's tastes, I was suprised. I have doubts though that out of the context of the game if they wouldh've enjoyed some Ghreg on Earth, even if they were somewhat open about different forms of music.
