    Raise flags - Chapter 1 (France Goa trance - Psychill artists)

    in General Psytrance

    Posted

    I believe that every country has a characteristic sound that stigmatizes the musical evolution. This is due to start a tribute to some of them. What i want from you, is your opinion (for the artists and groups - not only what i write), but also on the scene of the country then and now.

     

     

    FRANCE in Goa trance: Transwave (and sideprojects: Absolum, Elixir, Kaledoid, Lagoon, Deedrah), Total Eclipse (and sideprojects: The Antidote, Typhoon), Virtuart (and sideprojects: Underhead, EA1729, Karamatix 767, Jaffa Project, Asia 2001 (has many sideprojects) Jaia, Blue Planet Corporation, Spectral (Moog), Amanite FX, Section-X, Deflo, Bamboo Forest. Will do! Not to say all.

     

     

    FRANCE in Psychill: Asura, Aes Dana, H.U.V.A Network, Cell, Hol Baumann, Suduaya, Akshan, Sysyphe, Squazoid, Toires, DJ Zen, Tajmahal etc.

     

     

     

    French scene is one of my favorite.

    This is my list: Dragonfly records (legendary first label since 1993)

    Flying Rhino (always ahead of everyone)

    Blue Room Released (more organic and tribal with releases from Total Eclipse, Juno Reactor, Spectral, Saafi Bros etc.)

    High Society (masterpieces: Etnica The juggeling alchemist under the blacklight 1995, Paradise connection - Paradise connection 1995 and for underground tribal album Bodh Gaya - The trip to the fountain of ayahuasca 1999.)

    T.I.P. Records (for the compilations Blue, Orange and Yellow)

    Matsuri Productions (with the most liked E.P: just remember Witchcraft, Power Source, Prana vs Athena, Satori, Manmademan, Rhythmstec, Endora etc.)

    finally and wonder nobody said Transient Records (Cosmosis - Cosmology 1996, many nice E.P`s and for compilations TRANSIENT 1 until 5.)

    The most complex goa trrance was written by Etnica/Pleiadians

    It only mean that nowadays people in the scene has forgotten the roots of the scene when they only focus on melody.

     

    Lets debate what trance is in its pure essence. usually a melody is not really that hypnotic unless it repeat a very basic pattern with very few or no changes in key etc. The essence of trance is therefore not melody but rhythm. A lot of melodic goa-trance is not very rhythmic based (except for simple 4/4 beat with some cycling hi-hats and a snare) as it concentrate mostly on layers after layers of melody and effects and voice samples instead of simple hypnotic rhythms that will guide the dancer into a state of "trance". Now I do not say melodic goa-trance is not Goa or less good. I just strongly believe the new and also the old wave of goa listeners has lost their way a little and forgot about diversity when it comes to goa and has been wrongly told that melodic is the right kind of goa-trance..

     

    I am not out to tell people what to like but when people start to claim that certain founders of Goa (and yes also psy) are not Goa-trance because they have a very narrow view on goa-trance. Then I have to protest in the name of the history of Goa-trance :)

     

    In the golden days of Goa-trance parties contained everything within the broad definition of Goa-trance...It had a beginning (slow chilled tunes) a night (faster darker music and even industrial) and morning with less fast "morning" trance that contained melodic, ethnic, tribal and everything in between.

     

    I always played as a Dj or live after sunrise as I was considered a "morning" DJ/live-act with my certain ethnic, tribal (very much based on drumming) and yes also melodic goa....

     

    my 2-4 cents

    Probably did not understand me. i say what happen today, not that i like. i would like to have something similar today with U,X, Slide, Darshan, Undercover, the infinity Project but there is no.

    Goa/proggie crossover... (help me :D)

    Anoebis i agree with you, this crossover is perfect (energy-retro feeling). believe you want something like: Aiodaya, Hedonix (just listen - Emic reality), Psilocycian, Hotep, Dual Barrel, Spirit Architect, Imaginarium (new side project of Sonic Entity), Pragmatix, Subconsciousmind (Listen Unpredictalizer is perfect) and if you want i know much more. My mix is just this kind :
