  1. Thanks for the replies everyone, I decided to search 'Cookie-Cutter' into the psynews global search and came across people opinions of Crossing Minds - Inner Shift album. This thread had a wealth of comments that sort of indicate the opinions towards the music i was looking for. Even though we can easily call this Goa, I think the comments praising it as unique and one of a kind are closer to the sort of album I was looking for. Bad thread title on my behalf Another mention in the thread was Jikkenteki which fits the mold. And I think maybe peoples opinions of X-Dream Radio would also illicit opinions of praise for complete originality and out of the box thinking....hmm, out of the box, that gives me an idea. If anyone is still interested with this then I hope this helps clarify much more than every other terrible attempt from me so far

  4. Thanks @kokanje & @Padmapani, Exactly what i'm looking for. Good albums too.
  5. Hi all, Psytrance and psychedelic music seems to insulate itself against politics which i think is great and really fantastic two thumbs up But what albums or compilation are out there that have some reference to (or can be interpreted even slightly) as political? Any politics from any country or any 'political' thesis underscoring it would be fine. Even if it's just a description saying the proceeds go towards the overthrowing of the Belarus government or Tulsi Gabbards political compaign.

  8. Haha, funny you mention this, I just shot a quick vid for this yesterday. Been on my mind since I got it. Not quiet the music in mind for this topic though. Think closer to 90's artists that 'were free to make trance without any presets or predefined styles 'restricting' them' Out of the box thinking or a style that didn't hit mainstream.
  9. Jayve Young just got back to me. It's as Anoebis says, all above board. They paid for access to the back catalogue.
  10. Yea the effort Jayce and Hannah put into the store is why it seems a little off to me. I guess a reply from Jayce would end this once and for all. I checked the Trancentral Youtube channel and sure enough they have a bunch of recent uploads to Chi-A.D albums and a link to the Memo604 Bandcamp. Fuck me that's a good song
  11. https://memo604.bandcamp.com/album/eyes-of-gaia Chi-A.D releases up now. Seems weird that Jayce would go to all that trouble of the webpage and then just hand all the files over to Trancentral. Are we certain it's legit? Great detective work so far btw. I messaged Jayce Young, will let you know if i get a response
  12. I didn't care for or see the point in physical releases when I first got into this. Proxeeus - Non Euclidean Geometry was my first cd purchase. Got it for the pretty design. Since then I've bought only the releases that I feel are a little extra special. Median project constellations, Elysium live and beyond, triquetra etc. Still don't have a cd player. They just sit around. But after the first physical purchase it seemed to open a little flood gate.
  13. Give it a chance. Maybe even start with the last 3 tracks. I know what you mean but for me this album had a lot of stand out 'big' moments. It is cosmic AF tho.
  14. Sorry i saw the posts throughout the day and figured it was doing fine, but yea, I was pretty vague. "This exactly^ I'm looking for early works from artists, not necessarily freestyle but stuff that ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ that comment would belong on. So still trance, still psytrance even, but a unique early works that people would consider 'unrestricted'. Dragon Twins and Cronomi's releases I suppose are a good modern take on what i'm after. Or fuck it even a well known freestyle album. Damn this is very vague. I checked out the Demon Tea backlog and thought they had way more in their catalog than the 1 release per year situation (Just cause of how they are referenced a lot) anyway the albums I did listen to where close to what I want. But for the first time ever I'm looking for something a little more well known, maybe 'That' album. BTW I listened to the Talpa album (Great album, very unique) all morning and if it wasn't introduced to me in this thread I would've just taken the easy road and called it 'psytrance'. That's the beautiful part of that name, you can choose to take it literally and then anything psychedelic + anything trance fits in.....But ignore that perspective for the purpose of this thread
  15. Hey gang, I saw a thread that has been removed (I guess) that was discussing 'freestyle music' I'm after albums that don't really sit inside any genre. Maybe early pioneer stuff from the 90's, or something you would expect someone to make the comment 'before we had defined genre's' about. Any recommendations would be great, the latest 'Sibilant - Proper Filth' is my only real reference point, or stuff by Sab Kuch Milegator.

Coronal Mass Ejection ~ ~ I've heard plenty of people say and they are all right. - A current and a future classic. https://suntriprecords.bandcamp.com/album/human-control
  17. Yea it's a killa track, have purchased already, Jagoa is a baller and Shidartha is the real deal too. Really good track, I hope they fill their catalog up with more releases soon, promising beginning
  18. Hey hate to say it but I think the name change is a mistake. how many billions of people do we share the earth with and 1 of those billi00000000ns has a name dispute and it has to be changed. Although I do understand that the whole dispute has created bad vibes and shifted the vibrational frequencies around the name. If it's tainted then I do understand. ~ The release though, HOLY SHIT!! I haven't heard Aion go this hard before, track 1 and 3 are skitzofrenetic and make me want to speed down the highway screaming with joy, the main break of track 3 with the reverse bassline sounding thing . Track 2 is a joy as well. The production has incorporated a whole bunch of organic sounds in it as well and has done it like a damn boss-man. Truly stellar release. ~ Jump on this release if ya wanna hear a fella go hard on the soundwaves.
  19. @AstralSphinx Thanks amigo, I tried putting artist - track titles at the bottom left of the screen of the Global Sect review and it didn't look right so I took them out. I'll try again to see if I can get it right but yea it is a better way to go especially if i'm going to not always make sense. @RTP , @Psychedelic Superbeast & @recursion loop Wouldn't be the internet if we didn't have some kind of drama, i'm happy my video's have created this so quickly. For real though thanks for all the suggestions, as you may have noticed in my written reviews I have not a clue about the kind of instruments being used in Goa and need to find other ways to describe the music. The most helpful thing I could get would be some direction as to where to find info on synths, arpeggiators, grooveboxes etc. Maybe a production or off-topic discussion would be better than here though. There used to be a web-page available even a few years ago that had a super comprehensive list of how to make Goa and Psy along with embeded software instruments you could play with. It seems to have stopped existing or atleast moved somewhere that my searches can't locate. Thanks all for any kind words, Psynews users are the only people on the internet that I value the opinion of and hence the only place i've posted these vids so far. Oh @RTP How do I insert 'Hidden Content' Expandable drop boxes? Like what some of the users have? I would probably want to use this for written scripts for people to read as they are pretty long. More to come --> On to Album discussion.
  20. Artist: Various Title: Global Sect Radio Label: Global Sect Release: June 27, 2020 Tracklist:- 1. Astronobios - Spider Web 2. Atlantis - Acid Goa Madness In Moscow 3. Psy-H Project - Genesis 4. Proxeeus - Orne & Hutchinson 5. Alienapia & ShivaOm - After The Universe 6. Merr0w - Space Whale Confirmed 7. Median Project - Midnight 8. Astrancer - Ain Soph 9. Psy-H Project - Precession Of The Universe (Median Project Rmx) Round 2. If any of you prefer reading rather than watching these video's let me know and I'll post the script. Good job to Global Sect on this one, has pretty much been played every day since I got it. https://globalsect.bandcamp.com/album/globalsect-radio
  21. Thanks amigo and yea feel free to do what you like with any videos
  22. Hi there everyone, I've been wanting to do video reviews for a while now, my hope is that it will bring more hits to the music and somehow add to the scene. Any way self-righteous ramblings aside, this is my first attempt, I hate it, but need to start somewhere.
  23. A feeling is pretty much what it always comes down to. But can we call it a sub-genre if it birthed Psytrance?
  24. I think this is the main consideration, I wouldn't rename in a situation like Multi-Media where a synth pop group has come along. That being said I have a feeling that heaps of Psytrance artists share names, and I see heaps of rock and metal groups do this too, can make it hard to look for a specific artist but it is always feasible and sometimes a rewarding challenge. This is how I actually feel though, it's a name/title/identity, it's personal and if he is Aion or if he is Gaiaga that is as simple as that, no one is making enough money monotizing their music to make an argument that someone is 'stealing/hijacking' unless it is being done maliciously and on purpose. In this case I say the Mexican Aion is trying to hard to 'protect' his brand. I know KER's Aion through Kali Earth and don't find it hard to search his releases. Although who knows if I've listened to Mexican Aion thinking it was the Norseman. THAT BEING SAID, I recently created a youtube channel that I wanted to call 'Synesthesia' and even though Youtube allows multiple channels to have the same name I decided to change the name as I haven't actually created anything yet and found a channel with that name already existing. This is a case of me not having an identity already attached to the name though, In the case of Multi-Media or Aion (Norway) they are established enough that they should be able to keep their artist name.
  25. Have you listened to a lot of both 'genres'? I couldn't tell the difference at first, but now can tell pretty easily with some exceptions which straddle the line between the two. In that case I just call it Psytrance. I wouldn't say the synthetic nature or the arabicesque melodies are the differences. Goa is pretty distinct from Psytrance in a lot of ways, although I couldn't accurately say how. I guess the instruments used? The specific acid lines and song structure + kickdrums. If you listen to someone like Artha or Celestial Intelligence and then compare that to Astrix or Burn in Noise, you will find them pretty different and distinct I'm sure. The sub genres while maybe not being perfect descriptors of a specific artists style are useful if you want to set a mood. If everything was just Psytrance you would never know what preferred style you might get. Imagine taking your techno friends to a 'Psytrance' event and getting hit with some Psykovsky rather than some 'Fabio & Moon' I've seen people on Facebook rave groups describe progressive artists like Symbolic as 'a dark sound', and wonder what that person would think if you introduced them to someone like Morphic Resonance.
