Recommendation for newbiew


radi6404

Recommended Posts

Call me 3 to 5 albums which you would recommend a psynewcomer. I think for a psynewcomer it is good to recommend classics instead of worse fullon so i think this would be the best for a newcomer:

 

Hallucinogen - Twisted

Dragonfly records - Order Ordanata vol. 1

MFG - the prophecy

MFG - New Kind of world

UX - Ultimate experience

 

I think this are really great albums for psynewbies

(from an earlier topic - a bit more than a few albums, but look for my buying suggestions then its not so many)

 

All right - This is PSY according to KRELL. (theres plenty of opinions out there, so this is just mine - Ive followed the music since 1994/95 - 1995 as a DJ&Organizer)

 

The Psytrance Music can take you down 6 Main paths

 

PSYCHEDELIC, MELODIC, FULL ON, TECH, PROGRESSIVE & CHILLOUT

I will give you some recommendations, chronologicly for each path. The words "Goa Trance" and "Psychedelic Trance" can be used with everything in these 6 categories - They have ALL been encountered frequently at "goa style parties".

I choose to mention earlier releases rather than new releases... However, I also recommend 1 CD in particular in each genre in order to get a good impression of where the music is now (I like all the releases mentioned though).

 

There are SO many new releases within each genre - and, I tried to mention some of the ones who have been important to me and many others during the years... Basicly, I try to mention the FIRST one I feel arrived in each genre (from the top of my head) - and then I mention some of the releases I find noteworthy which follow in the pioneering releases slipstream.

 

Also, last - I would like to encourage you to watch the Son Kite Live in Tokyo DVD - It, for me, creates a very strong backdrop for their live set - Its very dreamy, and I fellt sort of more visually directed in the journey thru their set...

I think, if you get to hear all of these releases + buy the ones I mention + watch the Son Kite DVD - You will have a good impression of what Psy is about, and you will be on your way to building up your own collection of musical gems

oh yeah, these 2 as well.

but i don't think he/she would be ready for south african :P

maybe make a lil bit of a red carpet with stuff like OOOD, some Ocelot, Time Lock .. dunno?

 

i was very tempted to write VA - Midnight Storm, but that would be too soon.

I think the new Pitch Hikers would be nice to open the SA door with. It's not that harsh and stuff.

So you like hallucinogen but you´ve never mentioned that in a thread i´ve seen :angry:

well, he's allright.

i only talk about topics i choose to discuss. hallucinogen is not such an interesting topic to me. :)

but hey, if you want me to talk Hallucinogen, i'll make an effort, listen to his stuff again, and then we'll talk.

if i remember well, i wasn't impressed by Hallucinogen In Dub when it was released. my psy-musical taste has increased comparing to 3-4 years ago, so maybe i should give it another shot.

 

anyway, this thread is not about Hallucinogen, so please ... *minds her own bussines*

:rolleyes:

I have actually converted a few "non-believers" with these albums. Not the most psychedelic albums out there, but as an introduction to the psychedelic scene, these are some of the albums I consider with the biggest mass-appeal - without lacking quality:

 

Vibrasphere - Lime Structure

Andromeda - Temptations

Son Kite - Colours

Jaïa - Fiction

Protoculture - Refractions

 

I could imagine these would also work well (but haven't tested on any non-psy'ers yet):

 

Ticon - Aero

Ticon - Zero Six After

FREq - Strange Attractors

Astrix - Eye To Eye

12 Moons - Solid State

Human Blue - Electric Roundabout

his 2nd album is like 1000 times better why u recomend this crap

395955[/snapback]

His first album is undoubtedly one of the most important full on albums ever made. I'm not saying it's the first or necessarily the best full on release - it just had a huge impact on the scene, and after that, Astrix's formula became the one everyone followed.

 

If you like it or not is a matter of taste really - I personally consider it one of my favourite full on releases, and miles beyond "Artcore", which, to my taste, was way too aggressive and focused on being killar, and with less focus on the moods and atmosphere. The more laidback dancefloor tracks from "Eye To Eye" like "Side Effect", "Crystal Sequence" and especially "Valirus" are very deep and dreamy in my opinion.

Look, I already wrote that they weren't among the most psychedelic albums out there, but you asked for recommendations for "newbies" to the psytrance scene, and I mentioned some albums with quality, but also with quite wide mass-appeal.

 

Oh yeah, I also like psytrance/goa from before 1997, but I would for instance hardly consider UX's "Ultimate Experience" a newbie-friendly release. One step at a time :)
