I've loved the Mr. Rogers stuff I've heard, really quirky and funny and gentle but still trippy as fuck and very danceable.

STFU you skazificator.

I think they DO take advantage of the new, cheap food processors that software gives you - most trance today has very distinct flavours. A lot of the time though I don't like the ingredients they use; too bland.

mmm cake With software you have so much control over your cake; with hardware the flavours all munge together and it's really hard to taste the separate flavours unless you have a kitchen costing tens of thousands of pounds. Listen to the clips of the Crop Circles cake for an example; no-one can deny it's a truly awesome recipe developed by a group of Michelin-starred chefs with amazing ingredients, but because of the tools they had to use, the melody chocolate overwhelms the flavour of the hihat raisins.

+1 Whilst I wouldn't say Declassified is mastered badly, it certainly is louder than almost every single other CD I own.

DJ Megaraver FTW.

Yahoo?

If you can't see how electro and full-on belong to different genres, and how trauma trance and prog belong to the same genre, then your conception of trance music is different enough to mine that useful communication about it is impossible. Unless you're being deliberately difficult?

I completely disagree. There is infinite room for experimentation within the parameters that define something as 'psytrance'. For me the definition of 'psytrance' includes prog, minimal, traumatrance, full-on, goa, even vocal trance... all these have the same basic source (the music was being referred to as psychedelic trance even before the word 'goa' was first used) and IMO are blatantly part of the same overall genre. Phreaky, Silent Horror and Perfect Stranger are brothers in psy and show just a small part of the diversity that is possible.

+1 Although I would disagree that ANY of the psytrance formulas currently extant have been 'worked to death'. In my opinion most people have discovered a small subset of things that work within those formulas and are happy to hammer them into the ground rather than risk doing something slightly different.

It wasn't; the 'true lineage' part was mainly inspired by a post I read on Isra to that effect. I have noticed the 'divide and diss' attitude a little on Psynews though, from certain quarters. By all means use the labels; they help us know what each other is talking about and can facilitate understanding and communication. But using them to divide us into - for example - 'dark psy lovers' and 'people whose music taste I respect' is not something that makes me feel warm fuzzies. And I'm not so sure that single-sub-sub-genre events are such a good thing either; things have become so specialised so that in some places its very difficult for promoters to put on events in their chosen pigeonhole; even with a single-stage/room event, widening the scope of the music played would bring in more people, expose people to more different music which they might well like, remind partygoers what musical progression sounds like and stop the scene from falling up its own arse. I'm very idealistic, I know. I just mastered the next Silent Horror EP. It's really bloody good.

A cancer of today's scene is people insisting on putting trance into smaller and smaller pigeonholes and dissing everything in a pigeonhole they heard one track of and didn't like. A cancer of today's scene is people giving those pigeonholes individual names, then using those individual names to create divisions between each other. A cancer of today's scene is people with preferences for individual sub-sub-genres insisting that their favourite music is the only one that has carried on the true lineage from goa trance, when really they all have. A cancer of today's scene is the insistence of "I'm right and you're wrong". A cancer of today's scene is me thinking my opinion means anything at all. There are more, but the last thing you guys need is an emo producer moaning about shit. After this post it will be a cancer of today's scene if this thread continues.

Artists have genders too! I'm male. And I'm in your record collection, killing the Bee Gees.
