Inducted Consciousness

Headscan - Synchrony This EBM group makes something that sounds akin to Electro Goa. I am suprised that I have never seen them mentioned on these forums, even if they are aligned with the Industrial-EBM scene.

Yes, I sure can. (These are the Winamp links.)

There is nothing bad about putting psychedelic trance in racing games, or any game for that matter. I find that people who would usually be close-minded to certain music can start to like certain things if it goes along as a soundtrack to a movie or game. And I am always open to the risk of introducing people into the genre. I know I drive around in my car with psytrance, goa, chill, industrial, and dark-electro playing almost all the time, even when I am going measurably fast and competitive on the highway. If I remember listening to samples of GT4 Kicks with all the Psytrance artists on it, the music wasn't the best, it sounded kinda' cheesy with the racing, engine, and autoshop machinery sounds they put into the tracks as part of the music, but it was still listenable and respective of each artist's sound. Honestly, I think some Shpongle would go well with a dish washing liquid commercial. Did anyone ever play the original Vectorman on Sega Genesis. Well, the soundtrack for the game was influenced by various electronic club, rave, festival, etc. music of the early-to-mid 90s, and if I were older, I would have probably looked more into electronic music sooner. I especially liked this track(not a perfect rendition of the original track), which I find it hard not to hear goa-influenced elements in . A track like that can slowly bring people who research a type of track they heard in a videogame, and in today's more music-accessable age, I am sure anyone interested can eventually find what they are looking for.

Although I use to listen to more Psytrance/Goa radios in the past, over the past year and a half I have restricted myself to Powershout's two Goa/Psy radios, and the chillout channel of Digitally Imported.

Sounds solid, nothing that really gets in your head and twists it around, but I would have no qualms blasting this from my speakers and just dancing and jumping around to it. I don't find it very catchy, but it still seems fine. I personally wouldn't mind having this for some nice dance tunes, but it doesn't appeal strongly enough for me to go out and buy it right away. But, that is just my taste. Longer samples would be nicer, as I could get a better perspective on it, especially a sample of "Ice Queen".

I was probably speaking a bit too harshly and prematurely before. Hallucinogen's elements are still there, and is well-placed considering it is only a remix. It just sounds a bit too simplistic to think that it was made by Hallucinogen, although it really isn't that bad overall. Personally, it isn't a big deal; I haven't been holding Simon Posford on a high pedestal, and probably never will. Oh yeah, as for the bassline, it sounds more like the proto-full-on bassline that is a slightly deeper, longer, and without that kick, resembling the bassline primarily because of it's note structure. Whatever, the fine points of the bassline don't really matter in this case. It's not really the basslines in general that worry me, but what is usually associated with them. It's not really a big problem here though.

Pity. The Hallucinogen sound is still there, it is just simplified and fluffed up to the point where it is nearly indistinguishable from other full-on tracks. This is quite a shame, but it was an eventuallity; no top-name goa-psytrance artists can resist the scourge that is that bouncy, fluffy, cheesy, soulless full-on bassline that turns everything it touches into bland crud. Although, was it really necessary for Simon to do this, considering that he is such a star that any music he creates will be bought by the masses, raking in the same profits, regardless if it is full-on or not?

Yeah, I could tell he isn't very religious after listening to that track. "Faith" seems more like a criticism and witness of that power, almost a warning of that control, on other people rather than a display of his own emotions. I shouldh've mentioned that though.

Sandman - Faith Trippy, angsty, and for the instance I am listening to it, I can just feel the vibrant power religous faith can have over some people.
