Hey all, after writing Industrial for like 10 years and posting a few of my goa demos on here, I've signed some of my tracks to Timewarp! The material is inspired by ancient egypt and is somewhere between goa / prog / industrial / tribal. I think it sounds fairly different from what other people are doing and misses most of the psy tropes/cliches. Very curious to hear people's opinions... https://timewarprecords.bandcamp.com/album/worms-of-the-earth-sekhem-a-kheftiu-timewarp065-timewarp

It's a great video, but it's also a symptom of what drives (or has already driven, sadly...) the scene to narrow down to a very specific, limited sound... Type in 'psytrance kick bass' in YouTube and 90%+ of videos will be exactly about this type of "groove". It wasn't like that in the past. There was no single type of sound that everyone thought of when talking about psytrance rhythm section. I appreciate the technical depth of it all, but I'm saddened by the lack of any soul and artistry in it... For God's sake - it's a foundation of your music, it shouldn't be done off of a technical template and recipe. But I'm probably 10 years late with this rant, so I'll just leave you to it...
