    which ones have already been found?
  2. Padmapani
    nice. there's still good fullon after all. is this up for download somewhere?
  3. Padmapani
    you probably should. it's my favourite at least. but imho it's the other way round. checksum is ok, kalibrator and bitter hitter are not my thing, but from sinister science onwards it's just great until the very end. the grid is among the very best fullon tracks i've heard since 2005.

    filteria for instance. but really, software vs. hardware doesn't make any difference in sound. most synths (now but also in the late 90s) were digital synths, so basically a software plugin in a box. the only difference is hardware is more pleasurable to use in the studio (which is a difference we can get around by use midi controllers for software). the real question for the most time has been analog vs. digital, but even here, software is catching up pretty quickly. u-he's diva even to the trained ear sounds industinguishable from the synths it emulates (for instance the minimoog or the prophet v)

    one thing's for sure: that's definitely no goa. more like techtrance and especially the second one reminds me a bit of the minimalistic technoid sound of 2001.
  6. Padmapani
    interesting. the tracklist sounds good, but not as spectacular as the first comp.
  7. Padmapani
    couldn't we replace all that darkpsy at the parties by this?
  8. Padmapani
    Shaolin Wooden Men - S.W.M. closely followed by D5D and micromega
  9. Padmapani
    that's also something i would go to. fullon was really good music back then.
  10. Padmapani
    it has some ugly digital distortion in the latter part. have you made sure it isn't clipping?
  11. Padmapani
    i feel you. >90% of recent psytrance neither deserves to be called "psy" nor "trance". to be honest, i don't bother anymore most of the time. the only fun party i was at since balkan goa fanatics was a dnb party where they played only vinyl from around 10 years ago. in two weeks i'll try if acid techno is still good and go to see chris liberator.
  12. Padmapani
    that's what i get when not in vienna. our capital city sure has the worst providers.
  13. Padmapani
    i have to disagree. i don't see any randomness in the big blue or bird's lingva franca. it all just fits together. the melodies in bird's lingva franca may seem random in isolation, but as a whole track one flows into the other. you need one of them to lead to the next and the climax wouldn't be climatic if the previous melodic lines weren't there in that fashion. imho that's great storytelling.
  14. Padmapani
    maia certainly takes the cake here. newschool with that kind of complexity? that's easy. filteria, nuff said. especially the big blue (live mix). but also khetzal - indian attic (e-mantra's tellurian remix) or maybe artha.
  15. Padmapani
    i'm not impressed by the samples up to now. it sounds a bit like more the same with "standard goasia tracks", like about half of their last album. i guess i'll have to listen to the whole thing before i can properly judge the album. that's totally justified
  16. Padmapani
    i have no idea (and it's pretty difficult with the little we know), but your description of the vocal reminds me of this one: wrong section btw
  17. Padmapani
    strange. but i wouldn't see it as breaking with the traditions of splitting subgenres, but rather the continuation of the ongoing trend that edm should not be danceable let alone trance inducing. i imagine you can get lost in the booming bass of trap/miami bass (really what else is there to like about it? ) and i'm pretty sure that you can trance out to hardstyle. so you put these two together with the intention of stopping the dancing once people start to get into it and interrupting the people with hard kicks once they start to zone out to the trap. kinda like what captain hook does to progressive/dubstep.
  18. Padmapani
    i can barely hear the kick you need to turn up the volume man. also the main melody sound too clean, it could use some heavy distortion and bitcrushing.

    i would say darshan it really looks like goa trance has grown enough so that we again have artists that cover the full spectrum now. it's curious that czech artists (and also crowds) so often specialise in the darker, harder music. tekno got bigger than anywhere else, darkpsy was adopted earlier than in the rest of central europe and now a czech producer fills the gap in dark goa.
  21. Padmapani
    we can do that because we're not the psy scene. we are the goa scene (and bitch about the sad state of the psy scene just the same)
  22. Padmapani
    it's like a cross between radi and nhjo.
  23. Padmapani
    for dancing to psy: 135-155. anything lower doesn't have enough energy, anything above is would have me exhausted in a few minutes. for other music like tekno/acidcore/... fun starts at 170 and ends at 210. bpms between 155-170 are undancable for listening there is no limit as long as it sounds good. this! darkpsy would be a lot better with offbeat basslines
  24. Padmapani
    interesting. i haven't heard about that "wikipedia" before
  25. Padmapani
    this is true in more ways than you probably intended to say. we certainly didn't see a rise of techno in the last 10 years. rather the opposite...
