i hate you

That sounds like it would be an interesting topic...I mean, I'm always looking out for little bit better than average but not good tracks.

That's the point exactly.

what psytrance track is the most in the middle of best and worst?

What purpose does this thread serve? Some people like something, others don't...some people used to like something but moved on...some people didn't used to like but now do...I mean, really, what has to be said on this subject? It's going to be the same thread as any other of this type just with the names and places changed! I'm tired of this crap! I hate these threads more than people that hate AP hate AP...and more than people who hate full on hate full on...etc...blah...

Deja vu...Slinky Wizard...isn't that Mark Allen? Haltya, maybe...

There is always a bunch of crazy things going on beneath the surface...just listen carefully and you'll be exposed to what is really Sphongle...my first experience with Shpongle, I liked them a lot but only for the obvious musical aspects but then I began searching beneath that and found myself swimming in an ocean of psychedelia! Haha

Harold Budd and Brian Eno did an album (a few?! I forget which one I've heard) that was spectacular...one of the most beautiful ambient albums I ever heard and I thought it was perfect for meditation.

Some Southern Cali peeps: Psytribe and Green Sector

I won't go until you tell me how to make that main melody sound at the end of Reunion

ugh...

Seconding: And you know how?! You don't have to like something but please leave your baseless assumptions at the door gerbil king...

This thread is interesting!

ugh

I find it hard to believe anyone anywhere is being serious. I mean, what's the point?

He actually wrote well over a thousand (that we know of...) and his transcripts had little or no corrections; that is, most of the pieces were completely IN HIS HEAD before they touched paper...he was an AMAZING person. Really, if you haven't read much about Mozart then I suggest you do, regardless of what you think of his music. He was quite an enigma, one of a kind... Simon is fucking awesome but it's just lack of knowledge that creates these sort of opinions...there are plenty of talented producers out there to match Simon's skills, IMO. Bill Laswell comes to mind...Richard James...both of whom I don't like nearly as much as most of Simon's stuff.

Antix != Astrix New Ishq, new Lish, new Jaia?!?! What if the world blows up!!! I can't wait for these! Also, Ishq vs. Shulman?!?!?!? What the hell?! That aughta be neat

Beware, psynews isn't the place it might seem to be! The pseudo-hippy mentality does little to hinder the crossing of opinions which clash like swords on a battlefield! Have fun! Hahaha Don't worry, my asshole antics are but a show! Pay no attention to me

Maybe Paco de Lucia doesn't agree with you and considering it's his song...... I'm assuming he has permission to use it of course give the popularity of both Shpongle AND de Lucia, I'm sure it's come to his attention (of course, I have no idea...and there are always these funny laws everyone is speaking of...who knows.) That "melody" you speak of isn't so recognizable...probably sounds similar to things you've heard because you aren't that familar with latin jazz? Much in the same way House and Psytrance sounds the same to someone who likes only Britney Spears or something. Like I said............no......perspective.........

What do you mean relax? What makes you think I'm not relaxed I'm just challenging your perspective...I think it's really quite a valuable thing to have done to one's self hahah Do you want me to show you some boring violin stuff? I can find some I'm sure...as well as I'm sure I could probably find some piano or guitar music that you find not so boring... Anyway...what I said about this scene having no perspective.....well...yea..

Okay, is it boring because its just guitar? What if it was just piano? Or just violin? What if it was just one synthesizer patch? If it isn't boring just because it is just guitar then have you heard any OTHER Paco de Lucia? What if he had used a song by him that isn't "boring"? Would it be less acceptable in that case? Is something boring just because it doesn't change your mood? So many questions...

Yes, one of the greatest flamenco guitarists in the world "boring"...I bet that's what Simon thought before he used it in his song..."hey this is 'boring', hmmm, I think I'll use it!" Get real... This is why I can hardly stand this scene anymore...no perspective.

Finally, someone speaks some sense! I agree wholeheartedly, except that I do love Shpongle...

Haven't heard Entheogenic still... New Bluetech is quite good...I think I like the latest Shulman more though.

See, we can't...we can definitely comment on it's complexity though...and the only way it's more complex than classical music is how many layers of itty bitty voices and crap in it... Complexity isn't subjective..."richness, pretentiousnes, maturity, subtlety"...those things are subjective...
