plaksmais Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 uhh.. i like this thread well, at first what got me into music was probably my father.. i started listening to hes records at quite an early age.. he had all sorts of stuff.. old rock music, some electronica etc.. i used to be a huge fan of metallica for a while when i started going to school... soon though i found that my father had lots of cooler things.. found hes records of FSOL, Prodigy and Enigma.. got really hooked on those.. once i was about 13 i think, i met a boy in my class - never talked to him before - and he was into drum'n'bass.. well.. i had the prodigy records, he had some cool new stuff i'v never heard before.. so we traded and soon became really good friends.... well then i got really into dnb and went on like that for a few years.. wen't to my very first raves then (i grew up in a really small town so no one really cared how old you were - if you wanted to be in there.. you must have liked the music).. anyway times moved on.. so i just kinda calmed down to softer breaks to nu jazz to dub tp whatever till i found the 60's psychedelic rock music scene -- the doors!! now thats what really blew me away.. i loved the doors.. i got the whole discography, the lives, the unreleased stuff, the jim morrison haircut !! got really into psychedelic stuff.. though the old stuff really made me feel like i have been dead for 40 years and i was only 16.. so i started looking for newer stuff.. and eventually found psytrance.. it was strange.. i got really hooked from the first track.. about a week after i found the stuff, i didnt listen to anything else anymore.. the energy, the story.. the everything about this music was/is just so addictive.. when i say anything else i'm a liar.. i still listen to the doors thats my story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the bit that your father actually listened to Prodigy and FSOL! I guess back in the days, when my father was young, Afrika Bambaata, Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dreams were like Prodigy and FSOL is for "younger" fathers How old are you, if I might ask? One day I will have to sit and write my "biography" but its going to be way too long. I also totally left out the punk that I used to listen to. Hehe, I was a skater for many years, so there was a lot of Anthrax and so on going on. and Beasty Boys, dont get me started about them! I still listen to all this music, as well, it kind of depends on my mood. Electronic or psychedelic music and Dub/Reaggae has always been the roots though, and they will own the bigger part of my heart forever I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Before I got infected with Psytrance (that was last year in winter), I was listening to Grindcore, Death- and Thrash Metal. But then, I got a trance mix tape from a friend and in the beginning I was thinkin, damn, whats this terrible noise. But after some weeks or so, I started to like it.

Guest Le Lotus Bleu Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 If you ever see a copy of Anne Clarke remixes, look if its the one that has Total Eclipse and Juno Reactor remixes on it Damn, memories memories 359715[/snapback] I know this one, i borrowed from my local 'mediathèque'. The remixes are excellent, The Total Eclipse's one of Our Darkness is more famous but i was more impressed by the Juno one (btw don't remember which title they remixed) as i never saw anybody talking about it anywhere on psytranceboards. I'll try to borrow it again if i get the opportunity . I didn't got a real background musical approach before discovering goa. Nevertheless i perfectly remember the first time i got hooked with a song a bit connected with electronic style. It was in spring 1987, each end of afternoon the saturday, i was waiting for watching the clip of M.A.R.R.S - Pump Up The Volume. I started to be more interested in a specific music style the electronic one :acidhouse with Beatmasters, S-Express,Inner City etc.. from this moment. Then acidhouse disappeard progresively & i focused more on commercial releases (eurodance) upto the remix consecration arrival of K.L.F with Last Train To Trancentral in 1991 (btw the original is from 1989). I even bought the cd maxi & the album 'The White Room' on K7. The birth & big Eurotrance trend didn't took a long to follow this release, & i took this train moving too with names such as Age Of Love, Visions Of Shiva(Cosmic Baby + Paul Van Dyk), Marmion... I already heard Goa without realizing it (i remember restropectivly having heard Mahadeva at the radio) , i waited spring 1996 while i bought Tantrance 2, just after checking at the listening test point, to discover it.
