psytones

Isratrance's main page? I think your whole review forum is a fun idea Abasio! I first gathered my reviews on facebook Deleted'ish it it and made a MySpace site which I'm honestly very happy about Except the BLOG doesnt please my needs. I got more then one page of reviews but the link at the bottom to page two is nearly impossible to see. Also on the front I'm only able to link up 5 reviews organized by Year & Month. I wish I could put up a loonger list displayed. Maybe I can fix these faults with tools, but I'm not there yet. I did make a www.psytones.net URL running.. - it collapsed as quickly as it raised.

remember the old psynews.org review site!? those where my very first encounter with psyberspace

.. you should be able to get the feel and sound of the track/album by 4 minute samples, no

Is it released on PirateBay yet? .. bad joke? Either way, good luck with this one Nikita! *resspect

This is because you are one of the most awesomest malakas in the world!! :posford:

I'm sitting eating pizza alone, gonna make me a joint and have just heard Solstice, waiting for Angelic Particles from Hallucinogen's Twisted. Why this long pause, as Abasio once said (I think), Simon should have extended the bonus instead of the quietness, though quiet is nice as well. e. shush, the ambiance has started ..

Ah-ha! It was you who wrote a comment that made me re-think my spam actions, not Insajn I guess your right, but still there is something about this music that makes people go PLUR call it fashion, call it inner human goodness/nature, at least its positive. Human nature, beyond survival and procreation, is a product of your upbringing. Growing up in a system that contains a HUGE amount of social conditioning or engineering specifically with the purpose to protect the wealth of the few (and the dream to have what they have). In actuality, we're not encouraged to do much more than plod through a life consisting of a career, family and death with little regard to lives outside our "tribes". or so it feels at times ..

It was made by the same director (Chris Cunningham) who did CtD and Windowlicker etc. It was launched on his homepage around the release of CtD (was also on his hp when DRUQS was out). But its not Come To Daddy, it just has that same scary feel. It's quit disturbing yet cool. Rubber Johnny. The wicked oeginized sounds in this and other tracks is exactly why it was classified as IDM (Intelligent Dance music) and Braindance. It's quit melodic in its realm and almost impossible to dance to, so you where forced to dance with your mind, your brain. listen to this beautiful track Murph: For me this is the best track on Druqs, it's very emotional and strong. and yeah, stop the overactive protest spamming. I for one like to have some organized system in these forum sections. Even when OffTopic was up and running the General Section was untouched by spam. Respect it won't you? pe-a-ce

I really don't want to run around and tell people what is and whats not psychedelic. But this movie isn't psychedelic, it's psychotic. Great movie though!!

phjuu .. was nearly stressed there for a couple of seconds. Yeah, I was thinking of only production. I also got that Retro MIX-CD, it's great! Interesting to see The Gathering so far having the most votes. Hola Rotwang com'e'stas ona servesa port favor la gusta marjhuana, I think you should DL or get the Shiva - The album .. album. Its insanly good, trust me.

^ exacly. And I guess random misuse of the word psychedelic this and that from spammers like me doesn't help on the word getting the recognition and respect it should. I'll for one will try to stay clear of spastic usage of the word psychedelic for a while (A comment from Insajn some weeks ago after I posted psychedelic that and that made me realize I had gone overboard .. ). Know what my personal problem has become after nearly 10 years of tripping and loving these realms, it's even become watered down in my own persona (i think). Before I had crystal clear feelings and directions about what PSY was now I'm second guessing my self and leaving a benefit of a doubt everywhere. Everything Is and can be psychedelic, but not everything is meant to be psy. To sit in nature and listen to the birds, wind etc. is psychedelic. To listen to ambient with the same sounds is psychedelic, but when the music is intended to be psychedelic it usually has something extra to it, some X factor or something hard to explain but easier to catch with your senses. As Oopie said, if I haven't heard what I refer to as psychedelic dunkadunk music for a while I get spasms and need my fix. If in the future I could inject psychedelic trance music in to my vain and store them permanently in my brain, I would So be a junkie People are in to this music for many different reasons - What I find to be similar at most times no matter where you come from is the effect of the dunkadunk or ChillOut to make you more P.L.U.R. in thought patters and large opinions. Even new IM fans who has no sssssssssserious connection to psychedelics do get a sense of peace in the world, love everyone, unite our spirits and respect nature thing going on. It's the power of the genre I guess. Some strong forces at work, even in IM's new work It's in human nature to love and explore, hate and criminal behavior is not in our nature. PSYCHEDELICS TO THE WORLD!!!!1!!!KILLARGH

aw thanks man - ditto But in all reality, that speaks more of the lacking of good contributors around here at the moment than the quality of my postings. I like MattMan, he's always seem to be for real and has some genuine good comments around. I'm bald with dreadlocks sticking out of my back-head. If you see me hit my shoulder and ask howmuchwoodwouldawoodchuckchuckifawoodchuckcouldchuckwood. If I do not reply proper* it is not me you've hit. * Awoodchuckwouldchuckallthewoodawoodchuckcouldchuckifawoodchuckcouldchuckwood.

âll IM threads are doomed to be great! My vote went to The Album, The Gathering, Classical Mushroom because they mean the world to me. I love B.P but it will never touch these three did I forget an album by Erez? I was in deep fear of this embarrassment of puplic humiliation tell me witch album I forgot and I will redeem myself and edit the thread.

made me think of this girl in my class when I was in 4th grade. She had so much fear and respect for our teacher that one day when she had to pee she raised her hand to be excused. First of all our teacher was pretty much a dick so he ignored our raised hands as long as he could, and because he had expressed anger on too much piss-requests from the class, she didn't dare to disturb him and lowered her hand without getting the permission to take a piss. I remember the sound like it was yesterday; dripp.. dripdripp.. dripp.drippdrippdripp. She couldn't hold it in so because of her fear and shyness, she pissed on her seat and the whole class got a good laugh. True story. Point is, don't be so shy you piss all over yourself, and teachers, respect the kids and let them express them self without getting yelled at all the time until they... soil them self!

Ooh yEaH baby, thats what I'm talking about!!

:posford:

just updated my list with one VA release and one DVD release :posford:

np. Deedrah - Deedrah - The Wizard Demo crazy stuff :posford:

Who the fukk is Kettel? Can I boil water and make coffee in him?

Shidapu - The Light of Shidapu Erez Aizen, Miki Litvak, Oren Kislev, Roy Sasson Best track: In Dream VA - Shiva Space Technology Not really a Erez album but most tracks are his creation. Best track: ? Donno know, haven't heard them all =( Shiva Sidpao - The Album Erez Aizen, Jörg Kessler Best track: Shiva Devotional Infected Mushroom - The Gathering Amit Duvdevani, Erez Aizen Best track: Return Of The Shadows Infected Mushroom - Classical Mushroom Amit Duvdevani, Erez Aizen Best track: Nothing Comes Easy Infected Mushroom - B.P.Empire Amit Duvdevani, Erez Aizen Best track: Never Ever Land Infected Mushroom - Converting Vegetarians Amit Duvdevani, Erez Aizen Best tracks (both CD's): Scorpion Frog & Elation Station Infected Mushroom - IM The Supervisor Amit Duvdevani, Erez Aizen Best track: Frog Machine Infected Mushroom - Vicious Delicious Amit Duvdevani, Erez Aizen Best track: Vicious Delicious Shiva Shidapu: The original name of the group should have been that of their second album "ShivaSidpao" but there was a misunderstanding over a long distance telephone conversation between DJ Jorg in Tibet and Germany, which ended up registering the group's name as Shiva Shidapu in the production records. After a few releases with the already registered name, it was too late to change the groups name by the time the second album was about to come out. Therefore, the releases after the second album kept on comming out with the name Shiva Shidapu, or Shidapu, while this name did not apear anywhere in the second album. In this album there is also the explanation of the name's meaning: Shiva - God of destruction and reconstruction. Symbol of the God who's inventing change with dance. Sidpao - astrological, tibetan calendar, and very old tool of tibetan Lamas to fullfil our time with magic. Shiva-Sidpao - is for us a magic tool with whom we intend to break time borders and bring KINICH AHAU and his 10 planetary Orbit in the Sound of the intergalactic Tune. Infected Mushroom: Psy-Trance duo from Israel, formed in 1996. Infected Mushroom is one of the most popular representatives of the Israeli Psy-Trance scene. Because of their constant musical development, Erez Aizen and Amit Duvdevani were able to gather a huge international fanbase around them. After the release of their third album "B.P.Empire", they moved away from the established Israeli Psy-Trance sound, giving their music an experimental character. Infected Mushroom relocated to Los Angeles in early 2006.

I'll Snappen that See what I did, eh? Excacly! I love the artworks!! So to answer the initial question: A lot, but in the very end, it's all about the music. I've said it before and I'll spray it again; Pics or STFU! really? killa

The promotional text writes that Frost-RAVEN is pretty much one guy, Dustin Musser, or sometimes just called Foxx. He apparently started out in 2002 writing industrial music for ComAcad at Drake High school. ComAcad is the short name for Communications Academy, which was the video and audio program offered at Drake High to 11th and 12th graders (which Dustin was a part of during those years). He eventually compiled an album of the works that he did for ComAcad and gave it away for free. But as he learned more about production and music theory he began to experiment with dance music, writing down tempo and breaks for the most part. In 2003 Dustin created a new album, Chakra. It include new elements to his style such as mixing trance, hardcore, hip hop, and classical styles all together in one tight package. The product was very well received by his buddies, but it never got a release due to insufficient funds. In 2005 Foxx went to the school Pyramind the Institute for Advance Digital Audio Training. It was there he learned advance production technique and the tools of the trade, he then completed his album Desert Walker, which was released online through INgooves digital label in which reads for me that Foxx’s psytrance contribution should be highly interesting and amusingly toxic. Let’s see .. Frosen-RAVEN - Star Muse (Digital Drugs Coalition, Morning Star, Geomagnetic.TV) 2008 (DIGICD011) 01. Starchaser (7:38) 02. The Well (9:18) 03. Tabula Rasa (8:13) 04. Night Freak (8:28) 05. Muse (8:16) 06. Nightmares (8:26) 07. Lore (7:54) 08. Dark Wood (7:32) 09. Virtual Light - Nuclear Sun (Frost-RAVEN Remix) (7:23) 01. The album starts off with some nice and comfortable progressive beats and gets a following of airy star sprinkled sounds that float nicely around your presence. Frost-RAVEN seems to be a magician with some well thought-out ideas and emotions as the sonic wave kicks us with a smile. 02. The progressive beat manifestation picks up and brings us to a heavier baseline that hints of an evolution within the music inside the Star Muse album we are about to journey through. Foxx builds his sounds and there is added another layer of base to make the track bump pleasantly along its progressive path while it morphs into its psychedelic trance realm of frozen muses in classical shoes. 03. A windy breeze brings in the funky baseline and the travelling starts accompanied by predators and a disco sorceress only to be shadow protected by a strong progression of beat manifestations in varies environments. Delightful and playful as it butterflies away in a fortress made of icy emotions. A tad boring in its trials to be evenly variated in beats and landscape but defiantly better then the norm! 04. Continuing of what we have heard and felt before, a slippery slope of marbles rolling along. Shimmering frost bites slides along the side. Star shine grows inside us all, melodies are lifted to higher ground and the cheese starts to smell, but that’s Ok. 05. Humpa bumpa lets all go inside a videogame! Falling effects and staggering beats lead us to some obscure melodies that brings the joint up to a new level. – Slow it down now, brings it up! Add some chime and you got yourself a cool winter.. Music is a glorious expression that is supposed to make people happy Sais the girl with a questioning smile. The old winter witch answers in agony, you obviously haven’t heard my music. And with these words the melodies turn awkward. 06. You better bring me back, it’s getting dark soon and that’s when they come out. Mood is taking a turn to the darker side of Frost-RAVEN and the melodic sound effects takes a speeded up approach to float you away to safety.. Or are they? On the path to safety one has to overcome certain obstacles in life that in the great scheme of it all is vitally important for your own comfortably self. Great twists on the journey. Progressive boredom ends and exiting floating magic trance begins. 07. Choruses are swimming lightly in a crystal clear frozen lake while some ice skaters are whiffing by and showing you some fancy maneuvers. A longer sample kicks in and it’s about an arguing conversation, why this on the beautiful floating ice, I don’t know but now the vibe turned wrong and a little bit unsettling. 08. Grinding your teeth together to stomp it hard on the dusty ground, effects swing by to say hello and balloons squeaks along. Tempo rises so that chorus can take over and lift you up a few inches from the ground while tiger kittens bite your ankles. You shake them off to hover further up in the sky to reach the wonderful birds of chaos and freedom. Then you reach a stage where someone seems in need, or is she in lust? Before you can decide the synthesizers throws you off the ledge to a free fall while feeling the wind blow upwards along your cheeks as you gently land back on your feet on the ground. 09. Rise and shine people, it’s a beautiful day! Lick the sunshine off the vanilla sky, feel the angels grace your eyes and take the plunge into the green frosted grass. Watch out, you might get stung, but it will heal quickly as you again rise and shine to enjoy the beautiful day that echoes away. Recommendation: Foxx has managed to produce a very pleasant psychedelic trance album with some progressive drive influences. The album has a lot of delightful sound-fx that he uses with care to create a journey through a frosted landscape. Sometimes he can make the mood feel like snow floating through the air. Sometimes it’s quiet and lovely, sometimes it’s stormy and pleasant. The overall feel in his album is sort of generic Full-On, this is I guess the albums weakness, that and the minor feel of cheese that surrounds the whole package. Hopefully the follow-up by Foxx will be stronger, less cheese in overall feel and more tight and astral like. About the layers and sounds it all floats together nicely and when you dive into the album you’ll feel how varied it is as each track has it’s moment of shine, and each track has its story to be told with changing moods and beat that goes from soft to hard in an blink of an eye. Had it been even stronger in personality and charm and with less generic feel, this would have gotten a lot more attention. It’s super nice for what it is and I’m sure some people out there will adore it and cherish it. I think I’ll forget about it and bring it out to light once in a while when the mood is called for Frozen Muses from the stars. All I want to say to Foxx is this, Keep up the good work, man! I have been missing albums with so many beautiful variations that I have to look at the music player two-three times to see if we shanged track without it feeling all too messy. Key words: Full-On Progressive. Variation in story and drive. Psychedelic effects and floating atmospheres. 6.9/10 - Because it has some extremly strong moments but fails on the fluff.

Wicked Wires (aka Delysid) is Juan Fontoira (Spain) and Andrew Olavarrieta (Brit-Mex) who together released two albums on Noize Conspiracy Records in 2007 and 2008. This year they have decided to release most of their Wicked Wires tracks found spread out on varies compilations on one album. Geomagnetic.TV / Geo-Darkstar is their host for this release - Never before has all of these Wicked Wires tracks been presented in one anthology. Juan has been making music, playing the piano & electric bass, DJ’ing since the year 2000 and found a love for trance back in 1998. Andrew discovered trance around the same era and soon started to produce his own music - He is also a certified sound engineer. Since Wicked Wire has a lot of compilation tracks spread around on different releases and someone thought it would be a good idea to compile them on one album, you got to ask yourself if this is a gem, or a forgettable attempt to get recognition and a few bucks in the pocket. Wicked Wires (Aka. Delysid) - Magnetic Memoirs (Geomagnetic.TV, Darkstar) 2009 (GEOCD039) 01. Time Machine - - 148 BPM - VA – Bio-Magnetic Therapy 02. Crawling Ghosts - 148 BPM -VA – Grateful Death 03. Don’t Panic (Vs. Brain Hunter) – 148 BPM - VA – Trip Controllers 04. NeoHuman - 148 BPM – VA – Psychic Chakra 05. Illicit Patterns - 148 BPM –VA – Goa Trip Vol. 02 / Return Of The Boom Shanti – Trinity Series Vol. 01 06. Mr. Mars (Vs. Brain Hunter) - 148 BPM – VA – Stompers Agony 07. Neuronal Language Program - 148 BPM – VA – Psychic Chakra 08. Prescribed Drugs (Vs. Brain Hunter) - 148 BPM – VA – Digital Drugs Vol. 01: Double The Dose 09. The Mission - 145 BPM - ? 10. Psychosis Temple - 148 BPM - ? 11. Stompers Agony - 148 BPM – VA – Stompers Agony These are the memoirs of Wicked Wire.. 1. Beats are running fast and melodies are quirky and the vibe is super Full-On with generic sounds and typical pulsating baselines in haste that are interrupted by breaks with samples of time travel and picked up by some take-offs that are supposed to bend and confuse your head and body with giggles? It might be that this track goes in a phase that makes it travel like your in a time machine, but I’m not convinced. 02. Again some more samples while travelled in rushed information with some unsettling melodies and breaks. It’s getting boring and repeating and it’s only the second track. And where did the Ghosts hide, are they crawling in the floor cracks or something? 03. Again we start with some samples and the haste has settled a tad to bring you on a more cruise controlled aim as the sound effects pleasantly drives the music forward while some cute haunting sounds float around its body. After the sample we get wicked wires that are kind of soothing to the sonic ear. A sort of journey feel is hidden inside this track. 04. Still on the same path with running beats and loose swirling melodies and interrupting breaks covered in some samples - Repeating and boring. It’s NeoSomething, I’ll tell you that. 05. Again some more samples that are run over by beats in a rush to get somewhere. Where it’s in such a rush to get I don’t know but as usual it’s interrupted by breaks and some poor melodies that has its charm but just doesn’t cut it. This is not accepted morality. 06. Again the sample and I’m getting curious about what they are talking about, seems like an odd conversation. We are now on the second track where Wicked Wires are collaborating with Brain Hunter who brings a better stability to the journey but still it’s the faithful sound that Wicked Wires brings to the table. 07. Back to the normal hasty beats with breaks surrounded in samples and covered in Wicked Wires melodies. 08. The third and last track with versus on Brain Hunter. This time the tempo starts humpy and slow and we again get samples, this time about subscribed drugs. The beat picks up in tempo only to be shot down by annoying breaks and we are yet again inside what have become to be the Wicked Wires sound. I think what barely saves this track is the touch Brain Hunters adds. 09. The Mission brings the same as the rest. Nothing new shocking or special. Breaks, sample, melody. 10. Agitating melodies to twist your head, samples to put you off and breaks to scramble the signal. Yawn. 11. Same same but not different but kudos on the suitable track title. Stompers all over the globe will feel an intense agony if this track would be played. Initially when I received the CD and had it in my hands I could smell the vibe it brought and the style it would present. Only surprise was the over use of breaks, the rest was as I thought; Generic. I have a feeling that in an open air dance festival somewhere in Brazil this music takes off! People dancing while screaming and viewing their arms and moping while clenching their fist in the air and biting their teeth so hard over their lip they will feel the agonizing pain of their wounded lip the next day. There are just too many silly breaks to throw you off and seemingly no wholeness in the story telling as the album runs for shelter – It’s a gathering of Wicked Wires tracks and that’s what it feels like, a simple gathering of tracks with no deeper intention of portraying a psychedelic fairytale of good and hope. At best its to amuse the raving party goer or to freak out some person who is uncomfortble in his or her trip - because some of these samples used are not to help, rather than to bury All the tracks are 148 BPM except for track 09 which runs on a 145 Beats Pr. Minute. If you’re after an album that plays a lot on breaks in a Full-On environment with some melodies flying around you, then go fetch. But for the rest, I suggest you stay clear. This isn’t a good psychedelic journey, by far. Its terrible boring and uninspiriting that doesn’t have what it takes to stay alive in a sea filled with music. It’s generic in sound and confusing in spirit. I think this is meant to create confused bad vibes with samples like ‘You Want To Panic?’. I mean, I think I even heard a sample about blood and murder, who in Buddha's name wants to listen to that kind of talk while tripping balls? These tracks of Wicked Wire has a sound that suits the night close to the gloomy light, but without the deep bouldering darkness. What it does have in it's Full-Of realm are some sharp edges that feels like barbwire. To sum the album up in simple words, it would be hasty sound, crazy breaks and wicked wire melodies with samples scattered around. I suggest you get a copy of a VA with Osom music if you want crazy breaks, because they do it proper. Favorite Tracks: 3, 6, 8 3.4/10 - because it has some sort of fun touch on special ascidian situations.

:drama: Sorry dude, I tried listening to some normal Trance (magik) music once on mushrooms and it sounded horrible, the tempo shifted in uncomfortable manners and at times it sounded like a worn-out/low-battery cassette-player struggling to stay alive. As soon as I changed back to some psychedelic tones it all sounded perfect!! And this was at a time when I was fresh to Goa and didn’t really like it, I actually preferred Euro-Trance to Goa-Trance (In all reality, I didn’t like trance that much in general). There is something unique and mesmerizing about the arrangement and production of psychedelic trance music that just makes sense and this is also why it is so sad and confusing to have 632.749 Full-On releases pretending to be psychedelic. You used to be totally safe to experience something utterly special no matter which music you chose to listen to as long as it was labeled psychedelic or Goa. You could listen to Guitars on Mushrooms* which was a crap release and at least it would give you an experience in the other dimension, no matter music taste you couldn’t fail. As the term psychedelic became more popular and watered out, this insurance of have a nice trip went away. That said, I never did like to take chemical druqs like xtc or amphetamines to Goa-Trance, it just felt wrong and didn’t charge my lights, while on tunes from Ie. Tiësto on xtc sounded like bliss in heaven and amph on some Metal felt like a spasmic paradise. For me back then and still, each drug has a music, a sound, a string to play on. A lot of Psy-Trance eventually went confused and didn’t know if it was chemically reacted or organically charged. *Not such a good example or old, but you know, you know .. ? About ambient/drone and Chill-Out. Well, most of the times these sorts of styles are safe with all sorts of medications Sorry for the DRUQS spamtastics
