    Brasilian Scene

    in General Psytrance

    Posted

    It depends, if we are talking about the weather, beaches and the bitches :lol::lol::D its the best party place but thats mainly because psy scene there is like our house scene, u dont see lots of freaks and the music is 90% full on the other 10% electrohouse or something like that, im refering to most of the major events...the undergorund scene i dont know nothing about because im not brasilian.

    Pigs In Space - Pigs In Space

    in 1998

    Posted

    This one arrived yesterday, i was not expecting nothing astonishing since his other project tandu is so much praised compared to this that i thought this one was just average goa but i was completely wrong...this is absolutely unique, no great melodies here but thats not really important when the purpose is to create madness on a dancefloor.The sense of rhythm is just perfect, every sound is arranged in detail...just listen to visitors part 1 or who is feeling normal there is no way u can stand still :D , and what makes it really unique is the type of synth he use, brilliant...creates the perfect atmosphere, frenetic spacey trance...Ofer dikovsky is a genious.

    This is without a doubt the most underrated album i know of.10/10

     

    Highlights:

    Visitors part 1

    Who is Feeling Normal

    Big Troubles in Outerspace

    I am of the opinion that this group consistently makes some of the most abhorrent crap ever conceived, Cows In Mongolia being the most recent example of the sheer ugliness of their music. Admittedly it is the choice of samples (as in The Hiss) that really grates on my nerves; the music itself is just whatever.

    I agree,i only have the 8th sphere but thats enough... they dont have a basic notion of rithym...most tracks are absolutely chaotic absolutely no melodies not even psycheledic.

    And the samples, u just have to hear the Lucifer in the sky of Diamonds :blink:

    New Cybernetika Album: Neural Network Expansion (2007 promo)

    in Free Music Promotion

    Posted

    I really enjoyed this one mainly because now i have to admit my preference for more dancefloor oriented dark...powerfull basslines and high special effects, the ingredients for a massive psychedelia :)

    Your first promo from 2006 was one of my favourite dark albuns, really, i have it in my mp3palyer and in my car ;) very good melodic dark specially darkstar phobia and paradox paralax...the diference in this album is the lack of melodies compared to the 2006 promo but i,as you, prefer this, the psychedelia is much more intense this way, i think is obvious the diference between melodic stuff in the dancefloor compared to for example valkyrie or trickster, people that bash this kind of sound surely dont know what is a dancefloor under the black light with hard night time trance.

    I absolutely adore the bassline of trickster :lol: there is a name for that kind of bassline? most parties here in portugal have that type of bassline thats why i love parties here :lol:

    About the folkloric thing, it's exactly hat I was thinking! But after asking

    some artists (Cyberia & Spectrum) about it, they told me this was a wrong interpretation.

    The melodies are not 'typically' from Greece, just 'epic' :) ...

     

    Ezotery Space has some nice tracks indeed, especially his older ones like the two you mention

    there. His later work like the music he released on Morning In Space II is less interesting.

    Hehehe but im sure there are some tracks with Greek folklore melodies , i have some unidentified tracks that sound too folkloric :)

    Found another very cool track that shows very well the heroic and epic style, check this one:

     

    star children-Unreal

     

    "the time has come to prove you are the best,to crush your enemies and win the tournament" :lol::lol: and then a massive laserkick with a very good melody comes in, very nice track :)

    Nitzhonot

    Well OK, I see myself as an incredible big Nitzhonot fan so I'd like to give my opinions here...

    First of all, I made a Wikipedia page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitzhonot

    The albums in the list are mostly considered as classic material, so have a look there (:

     

    Mind the difference that I make between Nitzhonot and Uplifting, for me it's crystal clear these are two different things.

    I once wrote a small topic about it on this site, so let me hand it over to you guys (:

     

    "In fact, yes, Nitzhonot music can be divided into two sub-categcories.

     

    First of all, we have the real old Nitzhonot stuff, the music that invaded the clubs in Israel during 1998 and 1999 and dried out after this period. Think of guys like Syntezia aka Stargate, Iceman, the first two Cyan albums, Holymen, Eyal Barkan & Oren Barkan aka Reverse Psychology, D-Zager, Syndrome, old Astrix, Luminus, Kintaro,...

     

    Before Nitzhonot died entirely in 2000, it managed to escape to Greece, where it saw a new birth under the name of 'Uplifting'. This music stands further from Goa Trance than Nitzhonot, as the oriental melodies fall away completely. A typical Uplifting track contains heroic, epic, over-the-top-cheezy- melodies, a fat pulsating laser-bass and apart from that, not much (: ...

    Heroes in this scene are Darma, Lennox, Star Children, Zodiac, Oxydow, X-Men, Dementia, Zillion, Mendark...

    But it seems that, although Uplifting staid steady until 2004, this music is disappearing too. In 2005, the last official compilation came out under the name of Transistance 11, and it was only a mediocre success. Uplifting still gets some attention in Athens and in Bulgaria, but the scene mainly has gone "underground", ore "dead". Cyan quit the scene in 2003 after a last album, for example."

     

    The text is corresponding the truth, but Transistance 12 ( http://www.discogs.com/release/895327 ) is already a fact & it seems like there is some new movement going on in Greece,

    a lot of young and promissing producers are coming up lately...

     

    My top 10 Nitzhonot on this moment:

     

    1. Iceman - Apollo 13

    2. Syndrome - Cold Fusion

    3. D-Zager - Aleira Sky

    4. Reverse Psychology & Chemical Synthesis - Fallen World

    5. Cyan - G-O-A

    6. Astrix - In Peace

    7. Stoler - Victory

    8. Extrania - Easy Ease

    9. Couple Side - Ashan

    10. Ankonda - Good Morning People (remix)

     

    If you'd like to know other things about the genre I'd be pleased to inform you!

     

    PS: I get sick of Nitzho-bashers. Hm...well, just don't bash it because anybody else does.

    And even if you really think it's crappy music, I still believe it has something to offer that

    is not be found in any other genre I am aware of. I don't even call it bad taste!

    Nice work man B) , i will get those tracks..im starting to buy some nitzho stuff :D

    For a person that nows Nitzhonot quite well its easy to identify the origin of the artist by the type of the melodies...i do it instantly because israeli is more "goaish" melodies and greek is more...hmm...greek :lol: sometimes i get this feeling that they put folkloric greek melodies in it or am i wrong?

    Its funny you say greek nitzho contains heroic and epic melodies because thats exactly the feeling i got when i hear it...a friend of mine after hearing chevourim- light said the track was similar to a military march :lol:

    I recommend u Ezotery space-weird magic and dracula...very trippy tracks i love them!

    I came to the conclusion that the most trippy tracks made so far are from Ezotery space.So i want some recomendations on Nitzhonot in the same vein as Ezotery space, deep spacey and trippy but it can also be like the greek style i like it too the only thing i avoid is the ultra cheesy tracks that sometimes i come across in some compilations...i like chesse but i dont like it in high quantities :lol:

    Nitzhonot is a "2 side knife" it can have the most powerfull deep melodies but at the same time the melody can change to the most cheesy ever :lol: so i just have to search for the good melodies and avoid the ultracheesy ones.

    Nitzhonot experts out there give me your recommendations please, tracks compilations albuns all you got and similar to:

     

    My top 5 Nitzhonot tracks:

     

    Ezotery space- weird magic

    Ezotery space- Dracula

    Chevourim- Light

    Darxon-Normalize

    Cyan-Elf

    anyone want to help me accend to the next level?

    Melodic/slightly ambient goa :D maybe Etnica- the juggeling alchemists under the black light?

     

    I remember when i started to hear psytrance and the only things i got was gms and infected but that doesnt satisfied me enough...it always seemed that something was missing until someone recommended me Dimension 5-transdimensional, when i first heard it was like love at first hearing :lol: its the most amazing space goa ever made.
