Ale Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 i don't like; singing tracks are for other music not psytrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlockalien Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I dont usually like vocals in trance... to me one of the important things about trance is the 'abstractness', or how you can interpret thousands of little things and have a trip in your own head about the story the music tells.. Vocals seem to lock you into a specific set of associations there are some tracks that I find ok though.. like haldolium's last cd, which has quite a few vocals... or x-dream, which their vocals fit somehow in their fucking hard and teckish sounds...

psy structure Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I think the new X-Dream album owns! Other ignorant people just don't want to accept that some bands are better than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest djnemo Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I think that X-Dream is just evolving away more and more from Psy, which maybe is good, or maybe might not be good (For some it will be, for some not). But I like the new one better than the last 2 ones. I must say that I respect them very much for releasing something like this, because it is VERY challenging, because they are releasing under a name that for many people means "Uber super duper PSY". Well, this one isnt like that, but it still owns! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asian_bud_nation Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 vocals are cool...if you know how to use them in small doses at the right times...to me a small vocal breakdown can give a full on psychedelic track just a small touch of beauty and sanity, without having to go cheesy with a lot of pads and other melodies... sesto sento has one track, damnit i dont know what its called...the 3rd track from the album "the bright side" which has a small vocal breakdown in the middle....its cool cuz it takes the song in a different direction, slightly more progressive...and then bam, the track turns around and smacks u in the face with a nice psy feeling towards the end.. and then, as ive mentioned before, Timetech - Sensuality is kinda based around a couple of words that this girl says, but to me its one of the most beautiful tracks ever.. but dont even get me started on vocals like that found in eurotrance...mmm..wait, i think i have to puke..

Tatsu Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I don't mind vocals in psy, in fact if added right to a psy song they can be really catchy and push you in another dimension. It alsways depends on how much vocals are added. Small parts or some mystical chants sound great to me. But I don't know if I would like a psy song with vocals througout the whole track. On the other hand it could also be very interesting to hear something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solipsism Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 that depends if the vocals are good and how they fit the track 199716[/snapback] i don't really like vocals in any electronic music, unless it's done in the form of voice inserts like radio broadcasts and so on, i can't think of any vocal tracks off the top of my head that have appealed to me so much they're memorable...but then i don't remember a lot of things in the morning solipsism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuser Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 yeah, vocals may be great in a psytrance track if they are well done, and fit the atmosphere of the track. The voice has to be nice, like in some Shpongle tracks, and has to add emotions. Examples of bad vocal psytrance : Infected mushroom 2 last albums, Analog pussy - Trance N Roll - Track 03, ... i think there are many things to explore, like Juno reactor did it, and i'd like to hear nice vocals like Dorset perception in a "normal" psytrance track. btw, I like women vocals much more ) ... Interesting topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rain Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 vocals is just a new typical element used in psytrance to make the music variating... it's been done before but I notice more and more artist use them (even haldolium who suprised me a lot using vocals)... so I don't mind cause I believe this dynamic process is good to keep the psytrance lovers busy... I already get bored very soon these days so will not critize artist who try new elements... peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmiwinks Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I FUCKING HATE VOCALS!!!! That's what got me into electronic music in the first place: no vocals!! I thought that there was a kindof "unwritten agreement" for makers and listeners of electronic music that vocals just aren't a good thing. But laltey more and more electronica producers (from IM to Prodigy) decide that it's "cool" to have vocals. Maaan what a world we're living in... Actually I remember that already when I was a little kid I loved symphonies but not opera... BTW by vocals I mean actualy lyrics, I have nothing against movie samples and/ or angelic voices singing from time to time (like the excellent Etnoscope - Sunrise or Indoor - The Key ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest djnemo Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 (from IM to Prodigy) Ummm didnt Prodigy always use Vocals? hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmiwinks Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Ummm didnt Prodigy always use Vocals? well it depends on your interpretation of "vocals". There's definatley a difference between a 5 second sample "everybody's in the place" from time to time and singing during the whole track with lyrics and all (I think they started the trend with Diesel Power on Music for the Jilted Generation) ... On a similar scale, you could also say stuff like Hallucinogen - LSD or AP - People Can Fly have vocals as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rain Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 well it depends on your interpretation of "vocals 199744[/snapback] to me vocals is like sub 6... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I love some of the tracks that has vocals, such as Haldolium's album, Be Real. This album has some nice vocals. BUT the best vocals I have ever heard in a psy-track, is Frogacult - Beware of the Sand. KILLER VOCALS!!!! Take care now, bye bye then!!

Lepton Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I go with lemmiwinks for this one : No vocals (singing, lyrics), I can't stand it !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraph Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I don't like vocals as well. They just ruin the tracks. I also like some samples or chanting voices but to actually sing some words that are mostly pure non sense, that sucks. Lemmi said : BTW by vocals I mean actualy lyrics, I have nothing against movie samples and/ or angelic voices singing from time to time (like the excellent Etnoscope - Sunrise or Indoor - The Key )........ I think you meant Indoor - Shiva, Lemmi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmiwinks Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 to me vocals is like sub 6... then we agree And yes Seraph, it was Shiva indeed.. it's been a while since I haven't listened to the album so my memory's a bit rusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTP Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Vocals ... well, I generally associate vocals not with anything negative, though I've begun to dislike singing vocals or something like that. Vocal samples can make a track pretty good, think of the "'cause it was about radio ... radio ... radio ... radio radio radioradioradio" in Son Kite's On Air ... the whole colors album has well use of vocals, even the half-singing female one. Also S-Range has some nice tracks where the vocal samples fit excellent ... think of 2001: "I believe that there must be many, many higher civilisations in this enormous..." - genius! Also Silicon Sound has several good tracks with good use of vocals as well as many other artists. Although I normally pretty much dislike the normal vocal method: beat - no beat - vocal - beat proceeds. URKS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
