  1. Can you guys give me your recommendations for psy trance that's got a hindu/indian theme to it? Good examples are Androcell for downtempo, and Khetzal for more energetic. In fact, Khetzal's "Corolle" is a great example of an indian themed psy record. Do you guys have any more? Compilations are fine, single tracks are also good but full albums are preferred.

     

    Thank you!

  2. I wouldn't suggest Heliopolis if Sky Input didn't do it for you. I haven't heard much of Daze of Our Lives; I just haven't been able to get into Filteria much, but I do think Sky Input is better.

     

    I like Sky Input, I really do. There's just this... hard to describe, almost like another level that some albums get for me. It's almost euphoric listening to DMT Cowboys.

     

    I find Alienapia's "Goapocalipsis" to be highly melodic, as well as aggressive and somewhat atypical.

     

    I also suggest Artha's "Influencing Dreams". It's not exactly atypical, but very well-crafted songs and excellent production.

     

    Are you familiar with either of those?

     

    Haven't heard of either! Going to go check those out now. Thank you!
  3. Ra's 9th didn't catch me so much after I got it. I completely agree that it is very well centered upon a theme, and it executes that theme very well. It's a good record, but it didn't give me that special feeling in my mind.

     

    I agree about Filteria, and have bought his first and latest records. The first would have to be the best of the two. I haven't heard Heliopolis. Again, I like the album, but it didn't cut the final red line.

     

    I'm looking into this Hunab Ku album. Looks strange and extremely rare. I just talked to a guy who said he had it, and it apparently sold for 225 Euro. Yikes!

     

    Thank you all for the recommendations. If you have any more, please share!

  4. Hi. I absolutely love full-on melodic psy, but I've noticed a pattern. It's not just about fantastic melodies, it's also about the placement and the overall harmony of the piece. Here are perhaps my four most beloved records ever:

     

    * Chromosome - DMT Cowboys

    * Artax - 8 Bits of Bliss

    * Pleiadians - I.F.O.

    * Nystagmus - The Immaculate Perception

     

    If you take a listen to each one, they don't have that generic psy feel that a lot of modern productions have, even though they're fully still within the realms of psy and are therefore classified as such. These albums are just 'different'. They break moulds; for me, anyway. So, in essence, what I'm asking for is not more of the same, but something that's very different. This is kind of like saying "I want something, but I don't know what I want.". Granted. Still, if you get my drift, or roundabouts, anyway, share your thoughts.

  5. Greetings, I would like some of your input on artists that have a certain style. A year ago I first laid my hands on "Talpa - The art of being non", that album flabberghasted me...I was in shock of how good it was. I'd never heard such beautifully melodic psy before. I hammered that album, I've listened to it more than I care to mention. I then set out to find more and found "Nystagmus - The Immaculate perception", and "Planum - Elaborate"...both brilliant albums with so much feist and flare. That was 6 months ago, I searched long and hard after I had auditioned both of these classics to death. Only a month ago I found something...grand! "The Misted Muppet - From the legend", I love that album to bits and have listened enough times to remember the whole thing. Once again I find myself on the brink of what I can imagine will be a long search before I turn up any new music of the sort. What can i say, i'm a sucker for melody. There's nothing more I love in music than the feeling induced by a perfect harmony with a wicked melody, i live for it. My question is obvious, can anyone recommend an artist, an album (prefferable not a compilation) that is in a similar melodic style?

     

    Cheers.
