Hey guys, sorry for my inactivity, not much time lately.
What about implementing a Shoutbox aera on this forum ? So people chat and quickly exchange some information. It could also help the forum being still activ.
Greeting @ all
-
Everybody in this forum probably like goa / psy trance. What about other genre that are more or less close to goa ?
What about hardtek ? Drum n bass ? Dubstep ? Do you like it too ?
Personnaly I love hardtek, hip hop / drum n bass and simple trance too.
-
I don't know how to classify this kind of music but...It's awesome. It's like a mixe of drum n bass, hip hop and some electro / trance elements. The whole stuff is just crazy and I love it. Do you know some more song like those one ?
-
Im writting a message in order to excuse me for my long period of inactivity - I had a lot of thing going on lastly. I couldn't find time to write new review but I hope I will
-
Do you know psytrance & goa trance track with french samples ? It's just awesome when it happend. There's several songs from jaia who got french sample (Since he's french...) so I will only poste my favourite of them.
Let's share
Jaia - out of control :
Perplex vs Intersys - Voyage (Feat Michelle Adamson) :
Phobia - Culture Hall :
-
Atma feat Jaia ! Would sound amazingly !

As for promoting the site in general and on Facebook, if the free compilation ever sees light (if it already has, then excuse me
- it's an old topic), you could ask pages such as Goa Trance and several other psytrance related pages on Facebook to share it included with a link to Psynews, of course. Just a thought. That's a good idea indeed ! Things go fast on facebook, so it could help psynew get more known.
As being a new reviewer I do all my possible in order to help psynew having a nice base of review. I think this is also something important ; when looking for an album on google, you sometime fall on psynew, on a thread about the review of the album you were looking for. That's a great thing in my opinion.
In my opinion there should be website or magazine only dedicated to album's review.

Hm I don't try to break a records when going to a festival. I dance and when Im too much tired I just take a break, and then I dance again when I feel better I start dancing again.
For goa party it's different, since it's only 1 night party, I try to have the best time I can, so I try to dance as much as possible. At Timegate 360, I went to the party at about 21H00-21H30 (9 - 9.30 pm) and I leaved the party the next days at 14H00 (2 pm). So I've been dancing for 16 hour and 30 minutes...With some break of course ! And no hard drug used ! Only Water + cannabis + foods !

I think it's a good thing that you stop using giff.
Why ? In my opinion your review will have a more profesionnal look this way. It's not I don't like gif but there's too much of them in your review.
And by the way, are you going to answer me on the thread of the review of the album "Music revolution" from Atma ?
Good luck for the next, you did so many reviews, I which I will do a lot me too.

thanx again, nice these games, even when i suck most of the time. especially track names are not my case, i remember just track numbers and give a fuck about names. anyway, nice selection for a - let's say more-fullon-game! interesting again to see how wrong you can be though you have it somewhere
03 - infected mushroom from converting cd 2 ?
05 - fuck, i know it
21 - atma
24 - i know this cheese too
29 - very nice
34 - element?
37 - too easy !! avoid speech samples
44 - infected again? from vicious delicious?
truly, this short sample has a certain similarity with the IM sound, i remember that you asked for similar tracks in another thread but obviously you know em already 
46 - neelix?
so, i got a total of 4 points, again at the bottom
Thank you for participating !
About your comment on the track :
24 : I don't find it cheesy at all, but that's my opinion.
44 : I was asking for similar track then this one xD ! Well to me it has something that IM doesn't have ; i means the egyptian or indian melody.
46 : Neelix and day din are both making progressive psytrance, in a very close way. So no surprise you confused the two artist
-
I don't like it much. In this case it isn't the fact that it goes too fast, since BPM are quite low on this track for a dark psy trance, but it's background sound. It come and goes but nothing really get builded up in the back.
-
No, Im not afraid of death. I don't believe in any religion and I do believe that after the death...there's simply nothing. Like when you feel asleep (but not when you dream). Do you guys remember of you sleeping ? Most of time no. I only remember when waking up.
I think that it's the same for the death. Everything stop suddenly and it's all.
Maybe I am wrong, we'll see it then

I honestly listen to the most ambient/psychill, but I'm not sure it can really be considered "psytrance". It's really a completely different genre, even if a lot of the spirit and themes are the same. That being said:
Suomi (fun, experimental, and doesn't take itself seriously)
Full-On when it's good (95% of it is horribly generic)
Goa
Forest
Prog
Darkpsy (I need some kind of melody/harmony and most darkpsy doesn't have it)
A lot of this is in the eye of the beholder though and how they perceive certain genres. For example I've heard The Lone Deranger described as goa, psytrance, or full-on depending on who you ask.
The Lone Deranger is definitly a goa trance album. Full on ? I really don't see how you can think it may be full on, since full onweren't even born when this album was released !
By the way I forget to say that in my mind, the term "Psytrance" doesn't means "Psychedelic Trance". I know that at start it was used to, but now in my mind, "Psytrance" term moved to be a genre, and psychedelic trance is used in order to describe the whole psychedelic electronic music movment. I means this is my opinion of course.

It's not that I dislike Dark psytrance.
I like every genre of psychedelic music, except maybe suomi but it's a very specific genre.
The problem is that I've some difficult in getting in the dark psytrance music. It go too fast and too strong for me to be able to correctly understand every element of the track.
However it doesn't means I dislike Dark psytrance. It's just my least favourite subgenre of the psychedelic genre. I even went to party where only dark psy trance were playing.
Some example of dark psy I like : Mergel.

I've missed only Angel of Darkness and the newest one. Summer time, no time for computer games. Maybe when winter comes along
Ehh, reason of why I missed some of them are of course the time. When I started playing those game I wasn't even 9 year old. I was playing with my entire family back then.
Now I don't really have enough time to give for videogame. Some multiplayer game on Fifa 2013 or new FPS game with friend, it's all.
Well Angel of Darkness had also very nice soundtrack !

@ all the people writing reviews for Psynews, here are some question, just in order to see how other people are doing.
How are you doing your review ? Here some questions, would be cool if you could answer
.1) Are you directly starting to write in a new Topic (Or answering to a topic if it already does exist) or are you writing your review on a text editor before (By example with Microsoft office) ?
2) Do you directly write the review after listening to the album once or you rather listening to it several time before writing it ?
3) How are you picking up the release you're going to review ? Do you let the hazard goes ? Do you choose release that had an impact on you (It may be positiv or negativ impact) ? Do you try to focus on release from a certain label ? Do you try to review stuff that were recently released ?
4) Do you write some words about every track of the release or you rather having a block of text about the whole album / compilation ?
5) Do you give a rating with your review ?
For me personnal case :
1) I am directly starting to write in the forum, however I take care of frequently saving the full text on a text editor
2) I rather having listened to the album a lot before reviewing it. I should know every track that stand on the release.
3) A bit of all what I mentionned in the question. I try to cover a lot of release, I don't specially aim for a label or a kind of genre. I try to review old and new release, even if I rather reviewing new release since it's less popular in some case.
4) At start I were writing words about every track. Now I still does this for compilation, however for the album I rather having a block of text about the whole thing.
5) Yes, except for my first one.

Yeah I also noticed it back in the days
The skidoo chase music in TR2 was perhaps the first one I noticed to have some similarities with goa/psy (I still have the game). The Last Revelation IIRC was full of interesting melodies (although the game itself was straight out irritating at various points...). Also, TR Legend has some rather well known vocals in the Himalaya levels Edit: all in all, the TR games have always had gorgeous music <3
Eh, I too still got the Tomb raider 2 disc game ! I've also still my PSone ! She's running fine.
I think The last revelation IIRC had a lot of excellent music because most of them were related to Egypt.
Tomb raider Legend had also very nice soundtrack, especially the one with the beautiful voice. However the fact that soundtrack is playing during the whole game instead of appareaing and disappearing like in the old one make it different. Before you may had some sound playing in back during the level, but there were only specific time when you could hear some special soundtrack.
I've hear and seen about every tomb raider game, except the last one, released for next gen console. Have you give it a tryout ? What's your opinion then ?
Im happy to see Im not the alone one loving the tomb raider saga

What do you mean by "Psy"?
For most people Psytrance is the universal name for all genres, others use it only for all post 2000 music and others tend to use it for '97 - '00 stuff (when the term was first widely used). I'm just curious
I don't know what this guy wanted to means, but I use very often the term of "Psy-trance". Some people use it to describe the complete psychedelic music genre, but it's not my case. To me there's 2 big different genre in the psychedelic music : The goa trance & the psy trance.
Then there's some other genre but it's sub genre or variation. By example Nitzhonot & ambient are in my opinion more oriented goa trance then psy trance, but dark psytrance, full on and progressive are more oriented psy trance then goa trance. But of course nitzhonot and dark psy trance are some genre too.
Hope I was clear enough

Of course, medications can be good. Medications were very helpful for me, at least once. The others I took as a child gave me Tourette syndrome for three years, hallucinations, and a lot of dizziness / lack of hunger. It was at 12 when I finally was given Straterra, the sixth medication I tried. This helped me develop my focus for a number of years until I decided it was ready to stop in 2011. Everyone has different medication experience, but all 10+ doctors I saw bashed me around like a science rat. Still, medication isnt always a bad thing. I am positive it helps many people, and it did for me in the end.
Straterra is knownd to have a lot of side effect. I gave it a tryout...And if I remember I stoped after like 1 or 2 week. When I took it I feeled like my chest were constricted and it wasn't a litlte bit hurting, somehow like disturbing.

Well until now all my Goa trance / psy trance CD that I bought are still perfectly working.
Now for the burned CD (It's just I want to release my own compilation, with all the best track on 1 CD), I've to say that it happend a lot that the last track is having some problem. By example it's playing back, or it stop before the song end. Well I think it's important to say that in this case, it may be simply that burning step that didn't happend correctly.
But now I could notice another fact : on a burned CD that worked 100% perfectly , one of the last track were playing back lastly. Very short and not much disturbing anyway, but as you asked if people noticed same things as you

Don't you think that some tomb raider game soundtrack's got some goa trance melody or sounds by moment somehow like goa trance ? I find it just fantastic, it's melody like I just love and as I love to hear in goa and psy trance.
Here are some good example :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdu7hOrbnQQ
http://youtu.be/svrAtAGw2Sk?t=1h34m9s
Well I think it's simply because they use a lot of melody that goes well with the theme of the games, and since it's a lot about adventure (Tibet, Egypt, India) it has necessary some connections with the melodies used in goa trance.
-
wow that must be one of the most amazing cover i have seen!
I use time in order to write a review and all what you're talking about is the f****** cover ?
Just joking
. Well yeah this is a nice cover, I could read in Trance2MoveU's review that it was made by Richpa. This guys is doing great job, I think the best cover from him were the one for "the call of goa" release. -
Who's Atma?
In my opinion easily one of the best Psy-trance artist (I say psy-trance, not goa trance). Well to make a short description, he's coming from roumania. He used to make some electro stuff and then he started making psy-trance release. He made 3 albums ; Beyond good and evil, the secret of meditation and last one Music revolution. He use to include a lot of melodies in his track. Best way to know him better is to listen to him. I can only suggest you to listen to "the secret of meditation" (the track and then the whole album, which is very good).
Can't really give you 3 as I only know his first album. Will give some more listens.
Yeah, actualy most of his best track were released on his second album, "The secret of meditation". In his last album there's few nice track too. I still need to take a more serious hearing at his first album.
New album 2013 from famous artist
in General Psytrance
Posted
Hey guys, I've to excuse me for my long period of inactivty. But Im back and wanted to discuss about the new releases from famous artists that have been done this year !
What did you like ? What release deceived you ? Do you like how any famous artist evolve ?
I would like to talk about the following stuff :
Juno reactor - The golden sun of the great east
Waouv ! What a come back from juno reactor ! I found this album amazing. Fresh new song using new technology. That sound good and I love it. Ok, maybe this ain't 100% goa trance, but it contains some elements from other genre which make it original !
Electrypnose - E7
I haven't listened to the whole new album from him but I've heard enough track to say that this is a great psytrance album from electrypnose. I even saw him live @timegate festival (Switzerland) the 01.01.2014.
Talamasca - Psychedelic Trance
Well, Im not very happy with this new album from talamasca but at least he give something news. This is definitly sounding like melodic psy-trance more than goa trance but some track like "day dreaming" are still more than ok.
what's your opinion about this ?
