I don't see what the fuss is about. Its just the standard yawn inducing bassline with 30 odd BPM tacked onto it.

Food for thought for the "elite"?

This is really good stuff, thanks for posting it and the other links, I'm giving them a listen!

UBAR TMAR

Putting down stuff for 15 options will take ages >_< so I'll just put down 2 tracks that I feel have perfect production. Koxbox - Doktor Mesmer Sound Pollution - Where Yes, imo the production on these 2 tracks is better than anything Hallucinogen, Pleidians etc... have ever done. I think nowadays people associate production with "crisp" sounds and stuff, for me production is putting the right sounds in the right places, and adding them exactly when they are needed, so that you can't think of a single way in which you could improve the track. Everything just flows..... As for visualising, if I close my eyes when listening to good goa/psy yeah I can visualise stuff spinning, tending to infinity, flashing etc... its fun =) Maybe Milkdrop has helped ^^ And obviously, the trippier the track, the better I can visualise. For example Source of Emotion, since its trippy but slow enough for you to keep your visualising in time with the music, anything 140 BPM and I can't keep up.

Sounds really good I agree I know nothing about classical music, but aren't the instruments used in those 400 years the same, and therefore the sounds the same? I'm not saying that the composition or the rhythms etc... are same, I'm saying the sounds are same.

Uhh I meant Macrometasomakosmos.

Ubar Tmar! Macrosomametakosmos is amazing!!

No matter what, in the end I'll always get bored of classical because the instruments used are the same and therefore all the sounds are the same. If classical started using synths that would be interesting, but with the same 'ol sounds that have been sounding the same for 400 years, it just doesn't do it. I know the composition and structure etc.. might be superior but the sound itself can be rather repetitive and then it gets boring. For example, I"m sure if you played the rhythm on Electric Universe's One Love track on a piano, it would sound fairly ordinary, but that sound that's coming out of that synth is soooo beautiful.

Not really made with dancing in mind, but more as a sort of journey...the tracks are... -Enigma - The Voice of Enigma [2:08] -Koxbox - Doktor Mesmer [10:47] -Sound Pollution - Where [9:46] -Charm - Brain Structure [6:57] -Etnica - Trip Tonite [9:05] -Hallucinogen - LSD [6:43] -Doof - Double Dragons [7:41] -Message from God - On Mars [8:02] -The Pleidians - Maia [11:10] -Shakta - Shakti'Shakta [8:02]

All these albums are the same? I guess you need to hear them again, how can cosmosis' acidic goa be the same as Pleidians' crazy psychedelia be the same as Dimension 5's uplifting melodies be the same as the smooth goa vibes of Backfire?

I liked both, something to get started with There is definitely complexity in the tracks and it keeps your attention but I disliked the organ in classical music (organ right?) it kind of blares?! The thing about classical is that the rhythms and composition are fine, but the range of sounds is so limited that it can be rather dulling. You can't just go beyond. Every classical piece has the same sounding notes and the same instruments.

As malevol3nt said, on the feeling it gives, since I'm of the opinion that music is fairly subjective and essentially the feeling music gives you is what you base you like/dislike of it on. What I want to know is that can classical music give me the same soaring, euphoric, joyful feeling that oldskool goa does? If so, which pieces can, because I have no knowledge of classical music...

To me, the first one looks more like a rap albums cover and the Talamasca one looks like a Rock cover

+1 Agreed with that useless acid stuff thing...too many tracks are randomly stuffed with acid. Do you have any Baroque music recommendations? Doesn't matter how its made, what matters is the final product. Besides you can synthesize classical music now too. +1 If not, then which classical works beat goa/psy? Suggestions?

If I told the average music listener that goa and psy compares with classical music...I'm sure I'd get a "are you crazy" look. I do feel that artistically, with the layers and melodies that goa has, it does compare with the best of any genre. So do you agree/disagree? To me classical music is fine but it isn't at the same level as goa has and sounds similar (though I suppose any genre you aren''t into like sounds similar) Is there any classical music (or heck music from any non-electronic genre) that beats goa and psy? I'm pretty ignorant of other genres so don't go off calling me a music n00b.

Ubar Tmar - this guys makes psy like it should be Chi-a.d. - ok people know him but he's not mentioned with the greats and I think he should be. Two albums.... Har el Pruskky - Pagan Moon Child - very underappreciated dunno why C.O.P. - Urban Alien - imo its quite ahead of its time

Thanks Anoebis, that had me in splits :clapping: :clapping: The artwork is a real hoot (no offence to said niece), the image of that HP CD especially. Weirdness, submitter's given it a 1/5 rating.

I found a direct download link for the movie. Should be of better quality than the dailymotion one. ftp://ftp.psychedelic.be/psymovie/Karahan....Movie.1998.mpg Obviously you mentally discount all the hippie mumbo jumbo, and I felt that the graphics were good. As for the BBC documentary thing, I think I know which video you are referring to, but that one seems to have been taken down. I re-uploaded it here =) http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=sMRMrefd_So

Digitalis (Shakta's breaks project)

Liquid Crystal Vision is great too, I loved the graphics and Raja Ram saying "Love is better than all the other 4 letter words" lol

Vote goes to Eye Am the I Other then that, Astral Warrior, Biocandy, Exit Eternity, Pathfinder, Healing Magic, Paranormal Activity are good. I find that Chi-a.d. overdoes the use of vocal samples sometimes, and it gets irritating to hear them over and over again in the track. They break the flow. Secondly, quite often, out of 4 beats, the lead synth will play for a 1 beat, and for the remaining 3 you have to hear the background beat which is again irritating. None of this happens in Eye Am the I, maybe thats why I like it the most

+1 Imo Pleiadians reached a higher artistic level with their complex rhythms that had more depth than Transdimensional did. Though Antidote and Beetlesnuff sure are good tracks

Won't you have to be cock-eyed for that or something? =S

Music is too distracting while reading, it takes away from the book.
