Im really starting to enjoy eat static... Don't know much of he's old stuff, but de-classified is truly something special. I didn't like it in the beginning, it was just to wierd, but i think i've "tuned" my ears to it now.
Not that it has anything to do with the topic, just wanted you to know after i've dissed it so much in the review section.
Now get science of the gods. that one for me is even more psychedelic than declassified, not quite as ´get up and rave your tits off´ as declassified, but definately more of a mindfuck, which is always good
And yeah, for sure agree with the title post, but as someone said before aphex twin definately deserves to be on there as well, perhaps more so than juno reactor
I also think tricky should be added to the list, even if his newer stuff has been rather shite. Maxinquaye, nearly god and especially pre millennium tension (
) are also masterpieces. -
Yes it does! You just only have to find it.
You want good dark? it's out there!
Good prog? Yes!
Good suomi? Sure
Good full on? It's true, exists!
Good Goa? Well, not many out there, but so many unsigned artists produce it.
Good Psytrance is out there. But you have to discover it. We don't live in 1997. When you could walk in a store and pick two cds randomly and turned up good. The overall quality today is not that good and we have some many different styles after all.
All you have to do is:
-Find the labels, artists, djs you like and follow them.
-Discover new artists, don't afraid to try something new. Maybe your next ''Best album evargh'' is out there, waiting for you!
-Don't give a damn about the crappy releases. Don't even bother to write a a comment in a forum about them. Let Oren Kristal rot in his dreams of Hypersonic and 3D boobs covers.
P.S.Trust me, Goa will reborn again. Almost 25% of the music produced by unsigned artists is either Goa or something closed to it. Goasia album has already two pages in the reviews section of Isratrance. Other popular albums have only 5 comments. We just need more labels focused in Goa.
Couldn't agree more. Some artists that i love that are either relatively new or have released great stuff over the past 3 years:
Atmos
Eat Static
Prometheus
Aes Dana
Solar Fields
OOOD
AMD
Perfect Stranger
Human Blue
Filteria
Phutureprimitive
Broken Toy
Carbon Based Lifeforms
Ace Ventura
Slackbaba
Vibrasphere
That's not too bad now is it?
-
all i know is nobody will ever find a yeti in nature, because you have to go in trance and then you can find the yeti, easily.
and drink shnapps

Well, Twisted has always focused on their core artists like Simon, Tristan, Ott and Benji. Contrary to your comment I would actually say, that they have opened up a bit to other artists lately by releasing the GBU and Koxbox albums.
That was over a year ago though. And there's nothing in the pipelines for any albums to be released in the future that doesnt involve simon, benji or ott...
Having said that, their backroom beats sub lable has been putting out some good stuff. Flexitones was awesome and i've heard electroslide is v good too

Another YB..? another Shpongle..?
Do you realize how boring this is getting? Shpongle and YB are great but can we hear something NEW please??
The first and second Hallucinogen album was both innovative, different, and track sequel or two aside, they were something new! This is why I think many people would love a third Hallucinogen album, because of their memories from the first two, regardless that the third would be completely different as well, if it ever got made.
While not as groundbreaking as the first obviously, Shpongle 2 accomplished this new approach too. While the third seemed to score more mixed reviews than before because it wasn't as novel in ideas. I thought Shpongle 3 was great overall (new tracks in the Shpongle sound I'll always give a listen to) but each album feels less special to me. I want something new.
This is a good thread because so many people across the world share the same wonder with this artist. But the idea of another YB album just after this one released one month ago??? I find uninteresting. It's too soon. Shpongle is more interesting obviously, but something new would be more interesting with exception to Hallucinogen 3, if he kept his amazing intricate essence and style as he did when he crossed over from Twisted to The Lone Deranger. It was an amazing crossover and one of the most mature and ground breaking examples of evolution (although I wouldn't say the sequel entirely triumphed the debut per say) in Goa and Psy.
+1. This is why I'd prefer Simon to focus on the first metal sharon album. You can't really go wrong with simon posford and merv pepler
(well, one would HOPE not 
)Simon also keeps saying in interviews and stuff how he's more interested in working with new people who can provide him with anything that he can't do in the studio (mentioned people like Bjork and Rodrigo y Gabriela before), as opposed to just working with other psy trance producers. I think this would be so cool if he actually got off his arse and started trying to set up working with people like that, as opposed to just working with the same kind of people from the same label over and over again...
On a similar note, does it seem to anyone else that twisted has been getting annoyingly incestuous lately? It seems that they are incapable of releasing any albums that dont include simon p, benji or ott, with people like merv occasionally contributing. Just look at the last unusual suspects album, or the line up for the proposed next twisted party (It's as if they consider themselves too good a record label to go out hunting for some new artists...
All i can say is that if they continue that way then the record label's gonna be fucked when simon p decides to stop making music!
-
Considering Robot-O-Chan is by far the best track he ever made.
I wouldn't say it's the best, but it's definately right up there with arcadia magic
With he'd combine more of those sick breaks with his music... -
Apparently the first metal sharon one is underway. Much more excited about this than the prospect of a new shpongle/YB album (even if balloon dance did suck a little...)
I remember reading an interview with simon where he said the MS stuff is a lot weirder and more out there than any of the hallucinogen stuff he's put out before, which can only be a good thing
-
wow, im seriously impressed. those are really, really good. you have a great eye for photography
ii especially like the fireworks one, the tree bathed in red light and the one of the boating pond. have you taken a course or anything before? -
Absolutely fantastic album. I don't think i own a CD in my psy collection that makes me want to get up and dance as much as this one does. So energetic, so crazy, so funky. There's not a dud in here but if i was gonna have to go for favourites then I'd go for: thunder thighs, ring of fire, klunk (especially the crazy bit with the voices in the middle
) and octofunk.The green nuns of the revolution are the led zeppelins of the psy scene, and they rock my socks off.
10/10

I havent listened to the new version yet but really liked the old one. Did you get rid of all the ambient stuff? I agree with the others that it was a bit too excessive (ie a bit too much of it) but i really like your idea of creating a post-apocalyptic world in the music, and the ambient worked well for this. Its quite cool as well, listening to the ambience and then suddenly getting blasted by the crazy beats, that's an effect i think you definately don't want to lose. Maybe you could experiment a bit more with ambient drone/industrial music to put in the ambience, these can be VERY post apocalyptic and also very (rather frighteningly) psychedelic. In order to make the ambient bits more listenable you could also throw in other stuff, like fragmented beats occasionally coming inand then darting away here and there; build up the ambience so it feels like somthing's going to happen, but then bring it back down again etc. you know just to keep the listener on their toes a bit
-
Merv says its already been finished and is in the mixing stages. The new songs are absolutely wicked. Can't wait for this one. More psychedelic breakbeat, woohooo
-
wow that is a very nice setting!
afaik he plays dark only. And not the 146 kind but 164...
so if you dont like dark i wouldnt recommend to go there.. Unless there is a very good chill out
dammit, how can someone do a 16 hour set of JUST dark psy???!!
-
*bump*
So..... goa gil is playing in BA this saturday. I am tempted to go as its the first psy trance night i've got wind of since i've been here and it looks like its in an absolutely beautiful setting. I've never heard any of goa gil (either his own work or any of his sets), however, i fucking hate dark psy and goa gil is djing for something like 12 hours.
Is that ALL he plays during his set, or will i get just an iny bit of some nice melodic stuff? I dont think my brain can handle 12 hours straight of dark psy, no matter how much my body is craving to dance to psychedelic music...
And on a side note: if (can't remember who said this) he still sees music as a 'spiritual experience' why the hell does he play dark psy?? dark psy is about as unspiritual as psy trance gets....

Without music, life would generally be deadly boring, with same problems that you need to solve. With music, even unsolved problems are solved during those moments, of listening. Everything seem less chaotic, makes more sense. Music ruleZ ! :posford:
Amen to that :posford:

I love when the right music comes along at just the right time and totally transforms my existence.
+1
I guess it depends on the person. I know many people who only listen to music to go out 'clubbing' to, only own a few CDs and generally dont consider music a big part of their life. For other people (like me and just about everyone on this board
) music is a big part of who we are, how we act and what we like to do with our time, what kind of friends we make (i'd say about 70-80% of my friends have similar music tastes to me) etc etc.So yeah i'd definately say music can change lives, it's certainly changed mine

mate, theres already a thread ON THIS PAGE asking the exact same question. do you even look before posting?!!

I also would like to add that the awsomest decor that I have seen at a party was made by TribeOfFrog... i just love those inflatable things they do. Big props to the TOF CREW!
Tribe of frog are awesome, always put LOADS of effort into their decor. Check out the decor they did for this evening
Sadly i wasnt there

One of my favourite things about psy trance parties are the visual installations/decorations that always go hand in hand with them. Psy trance rinses every other genre on the planet in terms of the sheer amount of effort that usually gets put into making the party look as amazing, and psychedelic, as possible,
So what's been the best visual installation at a psy trance party that you've experienced? Be sure to post pics!
Mine would have to be the main room at twisted's 10th anniversary, 88 screens, including loads on the walls and the ceiling!
