  1. AWESOME LIST, Jeff! This isn't off topic at all. The whole idea is to give newbies a place to start exploring the world of Psytrance. There is so much out there, and a lot of it is very mediocre. Hell, it's hard to know what artitsts produce Psytrance (right off the bat), let alone the good ones. This list is a great addition to the conversation. Thanks! I would hope that the site administration would put together a thread that is a Beginner's Guide to Psytrance and pin it so newbies could easily dive right into the genre. Maybe link to a few threads (like this one) that would point them in the right direction. It doesn't matter that these lists are subjective and that some members might think one track is a "Best Of" and another member thinks it's drivel. What matters is that if a genuine conversation is being had about what Artists and Tracks someone should seek out, the newbies can have a place to start learning about the genre. And that should be what the community should want, a way to educate the newly indoctrinated and curious minded Psytrance seekers. Cheers, BrickTop
  2. I picked up the first three from your recommendation, and they are awesome! Thanks. I should have the Juno Reactor this weekend. I'd seen/heard Cosmosis and Doof on several streams and in the clubs I go to so I figured I'd like them. I had not yet come to recognize Hallucinogen, however, but the name Lone Deranger seems to pop up in several forums regarding several other groups (I'm guessing members of Hallucinogen are members of other prominent groups, too?) It's probably my favorite of the three. The Juno Reactor album was recommended to me by someone else, too, which is why I sought it out over the others that have been recommended. Cheers!
  3. Mainstream is fine. It's hard for a noob to dive into a genre and tackle all the nuances of the lesser-known artists. Certainly, it would be great to have suggestions of GREAT lesser-known artitsts and tracks, but with all the material out there, it makes it very helpful to have a list of Artists, Albums, and Tracks to seek out to get familiar with a genre. What I find funny is that a "mainstream" psytrance artist like Infected Mushroom is still considered obscure by the masses. The humor and irony is in how relative the concept "mainstream" is. As noobs explore these artists, their apprecaition for the genre and taste will expand, and they can more easily and naturally explore the rest. This is just a great primer to people moving from, say, DnB or Breaks into Goa and Psytrance. So fire away with the mainstream, the "average," and the old-hat... If someone is willing to take the time to recommend it, it'll probably appeal to a lot of others and provide a focus for us. Cheers, BrickTop Oh, BTW, if people could start denoting whether they are recommending an ARTIST, an (Album), or a "Track", it would be helpful. I'll go back and try to reformat the list at the top of the post so that the format is more clear to noobs.
  4. In order to further the propagation of the Psytrance/Goa genre, it would be a great help to come up with a list of Essential Artists and Tracks. Once a good list is created, I'd suggest you pin it to the top of the General forum. Not only would this become a Noob's guide to the genre, but it would preclude the old heads in here hearing the same questions over and over. For any of you self-proclaimed Goaphiles (lovers of Goa and the like), please post a list of artists that best represent the genre. If you could, indicate what sub-genre of Psytrance/Goa they best represent. You might try to come up with a Top 10 or Top 25 Most Influential Artists in the genre... that should be enough to get those newer to the genre started. Then come up with a Top 10 or Top 25 Most Essential Tracks (listing the Artist and Title as a minimum). Of course, if you can identify the sub-genre (or sub-sub-genreas it were), it would be even more beneficial. As a start, here's two links that kind of give a lay of the land: Anoebis' Psychedelic Trance Flowchart Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music Cheers, BrickTop EDIT: As of August 21, 2006, here's the suggested list so far, alphabetized. This is great; it's exactly what I was looking for. While some might think the list is too long, too encompassing, or, as one member cited, too average, it gives us a place to start looking. THANKS! (Serious) suggestions on how to clean the list up would be appreciated, and more suggestions on Artists, Albums, and Tracks are still very welcome.

  5. I greatly appreciate your efforts here! I've been looking for something like this, taking the Psytrance/Goa genre down to the next level. I have found Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music a great help, but yours takes it one level deeper than that. Instead of the CD covers, I'd like to see 2-4 artists that most represent each sub-sub-genre, and maybe a 2-4 tracks that are exactly in that sub-sub-genre. Thanks for the great work! Cheers, BrickTop
  6. This is a great help. Thanks! It would have been great if there was a similar one with a few artist names associated with the sub-sub-genres. I've found this to be an interesting way to try to sift through the genres. It might be old hat to some of you, but to noobs, it's worth a look: Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music At least it has some samples and a list of artists for each genre. I've been told that some people have an issue with the specific classifications, but at least it's a great way to start educating oneself. Cheers, BrickTop
  7. I just grabbed it. Thanks. It's trippy. I was expecting Psytrance (cause I surfed to this site for Goa), but it's a cool track. My taste is more of your Insektoid track, another tasty treat I snagged from your site. Thanks! Cheers, BrickTop
  8. Shouldn't Psy and Goa be combined? As I understand it Goa/Psytrance/Psychedelic Trance are all the same. If not, would someone point out the difference between them.
