someone on here said in reference to psy-trance/goa gatherings, that it seemed almost cult-like. I've listened to the music with a nearly dogmatic zeal ever since i first heard it 8 years ago. Anyone have any feedback of their own person relation/experience/perception of this music? I dont listen to too much other types of electronic music cept for ambient or very spaced out relaxation music like Hearts of Space. And of course I listen to the full gambit of folk-country, independent hiphop, rock, native/ethnic, classical, etc etc, others and this and that, etcetera, but I tend to have a preference for music that has no lyrics, or has vocals that do not make a language, or in languages i do not understand. ok people, discuss among yourselves. (because voice inflection is difficult to convey, it was in that SNL coffee talk way). peace be with
drakov! what kind of stuff do you listen to? when did you start listening, has it choosen you more than you chose it?? peace bro
i just got a shpongle CD yesterday, i like it alot...i also heard that apparently all psytrance songs have the same tempo (BPM)
what shpongle cd? they are not psy-trance, they are hyperspatial! there is: are you shpongled? tales of the inexpressible nothing lasts and some remixes around. are you shpongled has the closest feel to 'psy', tales gets more ethnic, and nothing lasts is utterly--well, i let your ears speak. all psy-trance songs fall in a similar BPM something that coressponds with beta wave frequencies. there are plenty of exceptions though, just this is a pretty common thing (130-150bmp) i believe, though i'm not any expert.
Shpongle are on the chill out end of psy trance, as well as others like Ott who is also brilliant. As far as the harder stuff goes, definelty listen to - Hallucinogen (aka Simon Posford who also does Shpongle) Definitely listen to - Unusual Suspects 2 on Twisted records Infected Mushroom (earlier stuff pref) Koxbox G.M.S Tristan 1200 mics Man with no Name Could go on but these are good places to by goa and psy stuff - www.psy-shop.co.uk www.chaosunlimited.co.uk www.saikosounds.com The scene is really cool as well, lots of fluffy people, check out some photos of parties I go to - www.ashley-stone.co.uk/photos.htm Hope this helps
awesome! i havent listened to infected mushroom in ages! thanks for reminding me...personally i prefer the other genres of EDM like ambient, drum and bass, trance, chillout, ect...but i can always appreciate psy also i dont know if they really fall under the category of psy/goa, but i also listen to Orbital and The Orb
