I got a good laugh out of the parody track by Ticon. And come on Skazi, release your response to the public so we can get a nice, entertaining battle started, like those East vs West Coast wars in hiphop, with driveby killings and so on! Ps. Finally I can post again. I changed my email address in my profile and it took a few months to get the validation email, after repeat attempts.

I thought so too.

I think many of the tracks on his two albums feel rather slow already, partly because of his weak kicks & basses (:shock: :horror: St. Posford is not perfect!). I don't think downbeat Hallucinogen'd be that interesting. Speed brings energy and interest. That said, you can try to surprise me if you wish.

...and they are looking for a label to release it, according to www.minilogue.com. That's lots of music. I'm eagerly expecting it, because they have released great seminal tracks on various labels in the last few years. And then there's the Little Sisters promo.

Dimension 5 - Transdimensional

Do a search on dailymotion.com and youtube.com. There some nice ones there.

I did say in my original post I appreciate fresh takes on source material. But if I hear the same melody in a few tracks, I get bored. Well, most new tracks do sound like bad remixes. Umm, let's say I feel prejudiced.

Do you like remixes? Do you think they are important? I prefer completely new tracks because I don't like to hear the same ideas recycled (often in unimaginatives ways), so usually remixes don't get me excited. Fortunately remixing doesn't seem quite as common in psy trance as it's in other genres like house. That said, if a remix manages to take a particularly fresh perspective on the source material, I may like it. And it's OK if an artist himself remixes his tracks for his live shows.

Juno Reactor - Shango album :love:

The Isratrance one is more explicit.

Juno Reactor. Though they're not "pure" psy, their trance is highly trippy and far better than 97 % of the rest that is released. They don't give a f*ck about sounding like everybody else. Their first two albums were rather shakey, but since then they reached maturity. It's two years since their last album. I hope they have something new cooking.

0.5/5 There are a few good releases every once in a while like Ka-Sol's Fairytale, but mostly it's vomiting_smiley.gif Commercial and shallow fullon and flat & unmusical dark psy just don't cut it. vomiting_smiley.gif x 2 ps. We should get a vomiting smiley like the one on Isratrance forums.

The tracks at Ka-Sol's myspace page. Mindbending.

Pleaidians - IFO repress, please.

No I don't. There are no good Finnish trance producers (or producers of any other genres I like, for that matter) and I buy records only if they are good. And I hate the goofy "Suomi saundi" psy. Sweden and Denmark kick Finnish ass, I'm afraid. But fortunately they kick Norwegian ass too.

Heh, that's funny.

Cr*p, I was posting to this thread yesterday, but accidentally closed the tab. Astral Projection - Dancing Galaxy - You already have Trust In Trance so you know what they're about. Secondhand. Astral Projection - Another World - Ditto Pleiadians - Identified Flying Object - One of the best goa albums ever, but it's very unlikely you'll find it. Pleadians - Family of Light - Not quite good as IFO, but still excellent and rather easily available secondhand. VA - Apsara - Just trantastic nuskool goa with varied tracks. MFG - Project Genesis - Dark & trippy goa, unique sound. Secondhand. Non-psy: Antix - Lull - Best progressive trance record ever. Highly original. Nuff said. Vibrasphere - Lime Structure - Great mellower prog. trance. Secondhand. Leftfield - Leftism - Apart from a few vocal tracks a fantastic album. Deep & varied house & trance. Behind Blue Eyes - Behind Blue Eyes - Seminal prog. trance with psy flavours. Massive Attack - Ok this is triphop, but it's one of the best records ever. Some shops for secondhand releases: www.amazon.co.uk, www.amazon.com, www.musicstack.com, www.ebay.co.uk, www.ebay.com, www.ebay.ca Oh and welcome to the forum.

Psyknights - A Faint Light from the Dark One of the freshest albums in ages.

Sounds more oldskool than Apsara, which I don't think is a good thing. But it's likely I'll buy this nevertheless, because I like melodic (non-cheesy!) trance so much. Lots of variation and solid ideas in all the samples.

Most forums have much BS and it's wishful thinking to expect ppl to change. You should found an invite-only forum if you want to keep the level of discussion high.

I'm a bit disappointed at this release. I'd have liked a more forwardthinking release (even as it's goa), like track 6 (except the guitars - I hate them in trance except in The Delta - Travelling at the Speed of Thought ). Unfortunately I don't have time for an in-depth review.

Bad karma of unkept promises is mounting fast...

Dousk has a degree. And you can clearly hear it in D.I.Y. One of the Son Kite dudes also studied music extensively, but I don't know if he has a degree. Probably not because I've not seen it mentioned anywhere.
