Psytrance goes mainstream!


Yard Hippie

Recommended Posts

Back in the mid/late 90s there were stores in Copenhagen where half their stuff was goa and all the commercial stores had their section.

Too bad I didn't bought more of the good and now rare albums. I remember standing in the one of those shops with I.F.O. (and countless others) in my hand thinking "I wonder if this is a good album" and then put it back...

kind of the same story here in Belgium as well, back in the mid=nineties you could find compilations like Traveling, Distance to goa but also artist albums Hallucinogen "Twisted", Space Tribe "Sonic mandala", Juno Reactor "Trancemissions", etc.... in local record stores.....today nothing except really really crappy colmpilations with the f**** misleading title of "the very best of goa-trance" which if that was my first encounter with goa or psy, it would scare me.....utter crap....not even worthy of the predicament "music", imo.....

 

it's really a shame though....because now for me, as well as for most belgians the only way to get some quality goa/psy is internet.... ... ...but if I can manage....others can too....

Song is kinda messy and annoying. Wish it didn't have all the machete samples in it. 

If I were IM I woulda jumped on the Gaga train without thinking. Lady is a bad ass. Maybe the last good pop star we have seen.

According to Zedd, "Aura" was the most interesting track on Artpop because its combination of oriental music, guitars and an electronic beat enabled it to "cross over" musical genres.[12]”

"interesting" Lol, Hollywood get a taste of music made by 2 people instead of 12 and can't believe the result.

I don’t buy for a moment that they didn’t want to be credited due to her beeing ”too mainstream”.

I actually assumed it was so bad because of the youtube music video constantly promoting Machete, but nope audio only is the same. 

Yea here I think is the nail on the head. IM are too good at making music that sounds nice, clean and structured. I doubt they would want that track to be the introduction to the mainstream crowd. You wanna do it like Juno Reactor did with Matrix, like a guy that pulls off a leather jacket and indoor glasses walking through the door at a party with an entourage of admirers and 24 pack of beer to pass around. Not like some drunk pale guy smashing through the front door and stumbling around slurring nonsense at people before vomiting in grandmas ashes.

That Aura song is horrible :wacko: ... I think all artists involved can do better...

imo Mothership Loudspeakerz did a LOT better job by remixing K/DA - Villain:

maybe he should remix Aura :rolleyes:

The more i think about Aura the more i think that the only way to make it better is to remove it from planet earth :P

 

 

Took a listen and if you scratch everything except Gagas main lead vocal it might be listenable :lol:
