Very long melodies in goa/psy tracks


Manuser

Recommended Posts

Trying to list a few:

The first (obvious) one is Elysium - Trancelestial psychobabas, very memorable melody

Same goes for Sheyba - Trance Africa express

Battle of the future Buddhas - Domestic bliss: melody at 4:30 I love this oriental melody (underrated track)

 

Please list more.

 

 

PS: Talamasca - Back to Bach has the longest melody but 1/ it is not really psytrance, 2/ it is not an original melody but a remake of a piece of classical music.

Good ones, I never heard about the track you posted Alek, sounds like IM a bit. However both melodies stand on 32 beats, I was more looking for melodies of at least 64 beats (or 48 if that exists).

32 beats melodies are not too rare (Trip tonite, Bust a move, Astral warrior...). Thanks anyway, and nice track Alek :)

it depends on what exactly you count as one melody. a short sequence that repeats, but a little different notes every time? a short sequence with different harmony every time? multiple short patterns played by the same intrument one after the other? a long non-repeating pad that plays over a vast stretch of time? ...?

 

anyway i give you these:

 

Dimension 5 - Deep Space 5D (the strings are 24 measures, so 96 beats)

 

Lunarave - Cannon Fodder

 

Dimension 5 - Caprica (should be more than long enough if you count the different layers and harmony every time)

 

Cosmosis - Inner Space (depending on how you count you might have multiple shorter melodies or one long one with at least 32 measures)

 

BPC - Midian (AP Rmx) (16 measures)

 

Artha - Chaos (at least 16 measures)

 

Astral Projection - Axis V0.99

 

Filteria - Filteroid

original muses rapt - spiritual healing, when its all calm and the Piano melody starts.

Thats a nice and long one. Evolving aswell, not just 4 bars repeating like most. but yeah there are longer melodies in tracks for sure.

 

artifact303 - feelings has that one melody that is evolving and pretty long..

 

now that i think about it, i could probably go through my collection and find at least 10 tracks with melodies longer than 8 bars and even 16 bars for that matter.

 

isnt Technossommy - VTOL one of those longer melodies also?

pretty sure Cyan and Astral has one or two aswell.

Also pretty sure Yahel and Talamsca has a few.

 

damn what a pointless reply ..

 

hi again btw.

I throw in Cyborganik - The Centre of the Cyclone. I guess technically speaking it doesn't include that many different patterns, but it's a neat example of a strongly lead-driven track which is not particularly cheesy.

Many tracks by me :D Altough I'm not sure if I would call my music psy... But I've made some goa so I think it applies.

 

7:22 longish mutating lead: http://aavepyora.bandcamp.com/track/a-goa-trance-for-lately-bass

 

5:50 folk/chip-style looong lead sequence: http://aavepyora.bandcamp.com/track/hengen-aurinko

 

3:03 70s style analog lead: http://aavepyora.bandcamp.com/track/every-mountain-can-dream

 

5:57 woodwinds kick in: http://aavepyora.bandcamp.com/track/beyond-the-veil-of-sleep-2

 

At 5:25 flute solo starts: http://aavepyora.bandcamp.com/track/crusaders-of-the-crystal-matrix-mayan-dreamtime-mix

 

This is basically one proggy space lead, after 6:06 especially: http://aavepyora.bandcamp.com/track/the-seven-lamps-of-trance-analog-craft-mix

 

And so on :)

 

This is something I miss in trance, I think people a bit scared of doing long leads because it's like writing, it shows your true nature and the artist must be prepared to be exposed along with them... Or maybe it´s just the general taste, dunno... But I love the stuff that sounds more like old synth & space music. Dimension5 had a few old tracks I think, as well as hmm. Power of Celtic by Shidapu :D These days I think there's less than ever, it´s more fx and quick gated, arped stuff etc. And actually many IM tracks... As much as I don't like them :P
