recursion loop 477 Posted July 24 The Silicon Sound thread reminded me on this, It was the subgenre that has actually hooked me and made me a psytrance fan. But it seems to have died out by now. I mean, 144-146 bpm, trancy melodies, smooth and soft morning sound. Often borderline cheesy (well, sometimes not even borderline), not really psychedelic but still very enjoyable. Any ideas why music like this is not made anymore? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mystee 1 Posted July 24 I fell in love with psy for the same reasons. I want to assure you (and myself) that the moment i got in contact with the genre, i knew i'm gonna do whatewer it takes to master my way through and be able to release my energies in our beloved way. 10 years passed, im on my way, and now i also know im not alone, there is actually an army of people training, mastering the art, and getting ready for the honor to speak the psychedelic language to the beat-hungry open hearts on the planet 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shpongled247 76 Posted July 25 I too love a sunrise set of some melodic full on.. early protoculture style is just perfect for that time imo. No idea really why its not as prevalent nowdays. U Recken and those guys are still making music though his later stuff hasnt grabbed me as much. Hopefully someone here knows some nice new stuff for us!

Hopefully someone here knows some nice new stuff for us! U recken is mostly making prog now. Not bad and quite melodic at times, but indeed not really as exciting as his older stuff. Other people who were making this kind of fullon are either silent now or make some different music. Digicult recently uploaded a track to youtube, no idea if he is going to release it officially but it's awesome but I think that's an old track actually. Neuroplasm's The Art of Melting Time and E-Mov's Stellar Loom have some nice melodic bits that remind me of that old full-on, not really a melodic storm like old Protoculture or U-Recen but some decent melodic parts here and there. Also some elements of that melodic/morning full-on may be occasionally found in some random tracks every now and then, but I can't think of any artist/label who would consistently release music in that style now.

Imba 313 Posted July 25 I will always miss tracks like this: That's what I listened before I started with Goa and it's damn hard to hear this retro melodic fullon these days at festivals... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
recursion loop 477 Posted July 25 Awesome track, Imba! More Alternative Control Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imba 313 Posted July 27 Alternative Control will always be my favorite full-on project and they were first psy producers that I met even before I started music production, some 13-14 years ago when I was high school kid... oh so much fancy stories from gigs they did around the globe, they were one to encourage me to start with my own production, amazing guys!

astralprojection 310 Posted September 3 yeah i miss it. i remember the summer of 2003, it was fullon all the way, and i think i remember i had like dozens of good tracks from then, but turns out, its just a few. couple talamasca stuff (not his albums, VA stuff), silicon sound, and some other generic stuff that sounded great (space monkey for example). seems that style died out very quickly for some reason! U-Recken is awesome btw, a bit muddy and boomy, but really really good stuff. in fact im gonna check out every single track from your OP recursion i havent heard most of them =) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Padmapani 385 Posted September 5 the basslines of u-recken are surely not as snappy and puchy as those from spirit architect, djantrix or the like (which are also an acquired taste for us old folks ;) ), but i'm still loving those of neural mantra and his frequent flyers remix.

recursion loop 477 Posted September 5 Guys, if these not the absolute bassline materpieces then I don't know what is I love how they sound dark and menacing on their own and how they are contrasted by these sublime melodies. The dude is a freaking genius. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
astralprojection 310 Posted September 5 the first track sounded nice but the second one sounded like 96k mp3 so its hard to judge =) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

recursion loop 477 Posted September 6 Occasionally found this track, surprisingly it was on a Neogoa compilcation but I think it's somehow closer to full-on. Gorgeous melodies, especially in the closing part And yet another gem Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dhollmusik 13 Posted November 22 The Omnipresence comp is very good, what I would call morning psy but I guess you can also call it melodic full-on. Here's a Transdriver: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
