I bet you like Tengger Cavalry

I admit: I don't update it often ... but I try to do it casually ... to give the YT algorithm the impression that there's more often coming somehting new... Some already got removed again by the algorithm ... it informed me that six vids were gone Lost In Time they are, I'm afraid. But we still got enough to make the list a joy to watch

I dig this lately. As one comment puts it ... "for every one thousand stoner rock albums there emerges a gem from an ocean of derivative bong water"

Yes, I feel so too ... especially "like to see others fail" -- that aspect has risen quite a bit in many people I would say ... it has grown during that pandemic and everybody wanna think they are right in their individual way - vaxxed / non-vaxxed and all that... It's a pity. But it makes me happy to still know how it used to be ... I guess? I don't give up hope that it will return though and then we'll have a good time again. In Austria they apparently want to cease all these strict rules by March 5th ... from then on you can practically do everything when you got a negative PCR and you don't even need it for many things ... clubs can be attended without any restriction for example ... except in Vienna ... but I reckon that here people will just "flee to the country" to have their parties... Although it CAN be a huge pump as soon as all restrictions fall ... has the potential to become like Springbreak, some people already theorize ... we'll see ... potential is there.

where is the DOGE meme? ...although, the situation is not that funny I'm afraid, at least not here... Honest feedback? In AUSTRIA: godawful. You find more cheer in a graveyard. I know that the parties are gone into the illegal space, but I have not followed. On the legal side, there is almost nothing ... and the ones that are listed do not contain any info. International? Not that bad, even though some big festivals have been postponed on and on ... Shankra Festival Sri Lanka for example, now postponed to 2023... However, usually the international community is not as buttoned up as in Austria and maybe in Germany too ... they still do stuff. Here, they don't. I hope it will get better in summer.

I may wanna ask... .. is there any Psychedelic LIQUID DnB? I only know this: ...and the one I posted in the other thread, but it's from Framewerk aswell.

I don't know anything about Jim Kirkwood's bio ... just the sound That suggestion I didn't know ... The Ruins of Beverast? But I wouldn't rate it as industrial in any way... I would say that this one here is more on topic, even though it's not exactly on topic: Oorchach is an awesome artist though You might like it when you're into Steinklang stuff...

That Old Sorcery sounds like Jim Kirkwood in some parts ... and with Jim I had the feeling that it sounded like old Edgar Froese or Klaus Schulze ... so, yes, I absolutely agree with you Magnetrixx is a master of progressive ... his first album Trittschall and also the second were very good and with Wired, he helped shape the sound of psytrance back then. Wired was a seriously good album, in my opinion. I heard that story about the "melting vinyls", but I did not know the DJ that it was attribued to was Sven Väth ... interesting. I do believe it ... if you leave them in searing heat in the sun, I can imagine it will get pretty hot and that can be enough to distort the fine etchings or make the disc a little wobbly... I'll spread the word about my "vinyl project" if I have any word to spread ... I think I'm gonna make it fully transparent and not profit-oriented, then I may be able to pull it off to fund it together with other people and not worry about money much. First I need to get the tracks though...

I just realized: there is no thread. Anybody listens to this? Dungeon Synth / Dungeon Music, as it was called back in the days ... primarily it may be stuff that fits to dungeon expeditions in your imagination, that's most likely where it got the name from ... but it's more than that, I'd say. To me it's storytelling music that dwells in those canyons and cracks between Psybient, old Ambient, Black Metal and Folk... I am loving it since years. I am "on board" since old Mortiis releases: This stuff is where my love for Dungeon Synth comes from (I know he did Fodt Til A Herske before that, which is bloody awesome, but I find this is even better). Since then, there's been a lot of changes ... Mortiis has switched to Trent Reznor NIN style stuff, which is brilliant, but has no place in this thread ... but other artists were discovered. I dived down into the abyss that was Cold Meat Industry ... or rather, what this label had to offer. It was mostly dark Ambient and some Industrioal / Noise ... I found several artists I appreciated ... but also a few gems, that crossed the bridge over that abyss, connecting me back into fantasy territory. Arcana, for example: It's still good to this day. And with Arcana, I found my love of stuff like that, with vocals, choirs ... and this gothic atmosphere. Funnily, for me this was fairly recently ... such as two or so years ago. What intrigues me, is the similarity that it can have to old "general" Synth music ... like Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze ... Jim Kirkwood for example, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference if somebody told me that this was some unreleased old Edgar Froese: Anyway, there's so much more. Secret Stairways, Hole Dweller, Sequestered Keep ... I have checking out many. This channel, the Dungeon Synth Archives ... they are pretty much my library for Dungeon Synth: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChmm356a5qe1luUsoatAgjA and it'll be years until I will be through, there is so much... It's interesting though how many possibilities this genre has. I may wanna colclude this post with 'some of the better Dungeon Music stuff that I know to this day' ... it's far away from the dark cellars and rather settled in a colorful medieval world: I think that last record can easily serve as a comedown for a bad trip maybe? Or if you ever have enough of all the Psychedelia... cheers

Great input right here @DoktorG -- we do not yet have a Dungeon Synth thread. I'm gonna make one! This stuff interests me aswell ... and yes, 100% agree on the similar vibe of early electronic artists. Gonna elaborate it more in the other thread Edit: thread created https://www.psynews.org/forums/topic/77132-dungeon-synth-thread/ As for the vinyl remark ... you know, I had the idea (and I am still sticking to it, it's still alive) to make an EP release of new music ... stuff that never made it to pressing ... and I already had spotted the first track by Magnetrixx. But luck left us - he pretty much vanished and I can't contact him anymore (and I mean, I really tried, contacted his company and whatnot ... I guess if I do any more I become a stalker and that wouldn't be good) ... anyway, I'll still stick to that idea, I want an EP If you dig Finntroll, let me know ... I had a pretty in-depth expedition into metal to find similar stuff, I love the humppa vibe. Nothing comes close to them though. I am from Vienna. The lower mountains are just an hour's drive away though (well, maybe make it two hours if you stay legal) ... mountains are awesome ... and I like Austria a lot, it's a beautiful country, but the minds of people tend to be a bit narrow - and sometimes also simple - around here, if I wanna be honest. It is not necessarily always bad though, there is a connection to nature and the "old ways" present that can be healthy and even comforting or heartwarming - and fortunately that is the case sometimes. Lagavulin 16 is my favourite, although I am rather enjoying the cheaper ones for monetary reasons - Laphroaig mostly. I'm also an Ardbeg fan, I used to smuggle that stuff in on Goa parties and also on Metal concerts ... the taste reminds me of good times But Bunnahabhain is good aswell. I have not had any bad Islay'er yet. Even the cheaper stuff from there is top (Finlaggan for example). A nice day to you too!

Nice ... I'm a big fan of Summoning. I think the only one I like more are Finntroll -- different style, I know... Just curious ... do you have a connection to Austria? Because the two labels you mentioned are from there aswell ... as are Summoning... I do like vinyl a lot, but I am not buying metal records ... if I ever start with that, there won't be no end ... I am now in a phase where I rather tend to reduce my stash and although I'll keep my vinyl, I try to buy less. Of that "viking tribal stuff" (that's what I call it, the Heilung / Wardruna corner) I can also strongly recommend Danheim, Heldom and Skald and also Munknörr ... and if you go further down that road, you will eventually reach the borderline territory where it blends into folk with for example Ochelie Soroki and also such as Hedningarna ... but if you are after industrial vibes, that is completely the other end of the spectrum as I would say -- I think these bands don't even use synth anymore at all. That was pretty much my distilled version of a month-long expedition into these realms ... only thing that's left is I could recommend you more poppy stuff, but tell me if you'd like that... ...speaking of distilling ... where have you been hiding, I know pretty much nobody on here who ever used the word "sherry bomb" in a single posting ... nevertheless, my heart belongs to the Islay drams, the smokier the better

I am overjoyed that I was able to recommend them to you Yes, Heilung are well known to me, it's a great band. You nailed it with Nytt Land though ... awesome, thanks. I'm happy to see they're on Napalm Records ... good stuff from the Iron Mountain that is

Well, I think I have been driving enough (I mean IRL) to have a vague opinion about what music I would like to hear when racing... ...I'm just gonna make a straight shot. This one would feel nice I guess: ..."Space" atmosphere is in my opinion a great point to start, because in this field there are usually high velocities present, which go well with the feeling of "racing" ... but it really depends on what atmosphere you try to create with your game ... here is a rather psybient one: ... but maybe I am on the wrong train altogether ... do you wanna rather have a pixel-shaded wet track, riddled with particle effects created by the puddles of water or whatever substance that the contestants race through...? Then this might be an inspiration: But above all I confess: at my personal best I am when it comes to synthwave: If you manage to pull it off to combine psytrance with synthwave, I will be interested for the soundtrack alone. To me, the combination of styles is the future! In any way, I'd be glad if I can be of service. Just tell me more what stuff you like and what not - or what atmosphere you are aiming for.

...Banco De Gaia ... and "remix BY Framewerk" ... that's where it gets down to when I don't edit my posts (it was a goal for this year for me to edit less )

From 2oo2... ...to 2o22. Wild ride, I gotta say. Any predicitons for the next x years? I am first. I predict (and hope for) more liquid dnb remixes of psytrance-ish tracks. Like this I's not been released in 2o22, it's 3 days early ... but boy. This blew me away. I thought psytrance'd be kinda 'clinically ill', never coming out of that hole anymore that it dug itself into with cheap indian samples paired with horrible break-ish (as in: lots of breaks) "myocarditis fullon"... ...but hey, I was very wrong! Some kind souls have come for our rescue and lead us into different territory, where the grass is still green, the sound still fresh, the swing still there and the air still clean. So clean! Who would have thought that I now play Banco De gaia on repeat again, only for it to be a remix of Framewerk ... damn these guys are good. There's more Obsidian remixes, by the way... Welcome to 2o22 ... the last year with a beautifully symmetric number that I will live in ... can't wait for "22.2.22" (the 22nd of Febuary...)

That's really cool to know! Thanks for providing the track

Duuude is this the same GLOBOX that donated the track for our Youtube view experiment? ... I'd say so (if not pls say so )

sheesh ... I admit, I am a little bit disappointed that you took the original down - because I admit, I had spent not a totally un-significant amount of real money into casually shilling it ... if you paid attention, it should be noted that the viewer count slowly but steadily creeped upwards... ...but thanks to another thread on here I congratulate you to your first album on Cronomi ... I am not gonna shill it though... I meanwhile do have a totally different approach into shilling a video though ... it is a fully organic approach ... and it involves a cryptocurrency and a brilliantly active community of good people around it ... not gonna say too much though, will save that for a bigger post ... I am serious about it though.

...and they simply allow this? Cool ... I don't have enough material though to need 2 accounts for... I'm glad that your original is less lonely though

nevermind, it's cool that you check in your Soundcloud is a bit lonely ... care to shed more light on it?

me too

That must have been Procter, from Soundcloud ... he just changed his name AGAIN, which is why the links are dead If you met him, tell him he should not do that so often

nice one this is exactly what I like ... first, I celebrate that there are no breaks other than gentle ones, where the progression is not chopped off, but gently lead on like long strokes of a paintbrush ... and then I like that there are these 303ish patterns, but underneath them there's this nice ambient synth "carpet melody" as I call it, which sorta grounds the whole thing and makes it a joy for me to listen to it, on and on ... in the latter part this gets lost a tiny bit, but it's still very fine ... like this recommendation a lot and I thank you for it

By the way, here if you wanna listen to the full track: ... interesting detail by the way: was called "Lords of 16th" in pre-release phase, is now called: "Lords of 16" ... I found the first one better because I perceive it to be a reference at the 16th notes ... but I could be wrong and in today's times it's something else they refer to ... kindly enlighten me if you know the answer...

... shilling this here because nobody else does: https://www.beatport.com/track/lords-of-16/15913880 This thing was on Soundcoud now for 4 years and didn't see a release Now, finally, it is out ... and no, I wasn't told to do this, I just want more ppl to know this... cheers
