Reminds me when I wrote A Decade of Psychedelic Trance eight years ago (OMFG, soooo long ago...). I'm pretty interested by what you wrote regarding the new millenium, thanks for the article!

Back in 2000 I was said that the Gathering was "100% psytrance" while "Classical Mushroom" had sold out. Too bad I didn't keep the messages, you'd be surprised. History repeats itself. Besides, Psychedelic Trance is an always-evolving genre built upon all kind of musical sources. From that perspective, talking of "100% psytrance" is almost a contradiction in terms IMHO. Welcome to the club! We're not Pure Goaheads ©, we'll have to live with it!

I'm with you on this one. Actually I remember saying more or less the same thing as you when Classical Mushroom was released, and people around were accusing IM to be betrayer to the psy-cause. OK, so IM have been betrayers to the True Psy spirit for 9 years now... but still counting. This one sounds promising :

Funny. In the early 90's you could hear the same kind of reactions from old hats of the Goa scene, complaining about the disastrous aftermath of the first Goa LP released in Europe, attracting "fake" goaheads on the Indian shores. "This is the future of our scene? Hell no!" Some things never change in this world.

Pink Floyd - One of These Days (Haldolium remix)

My first April fools of the day! (that I am aware of at least ) Makes me remember that there had been a killer one on this forum a few years back, very elaborate and thoughtful.

Sorry, don't feel like checking every title for potential duplication with the above posts: AC-DC - Thunderstruck (Chromosome rmx) Alphaville - Big in Japan (CPU rmx) Canned Heat - On the road again (Total Eclipse rmx) Dire Straits - Money for nothing (1200 Mics rmx) Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Tortured Brain rmx) Frankie goes to Hollywood - Relax (Joujouka rmx) Greece 2000 - Tree drives (Man with no name rmx) Jimmy Hendrix - Purple Haze (The Melovskys rmx) Killing Joke - Love like Blood (Deebrah rmx) Megadeth - The killing road (Shift rmx) Metallica - Seek and destroy (Paranormal Attack rmx) Nirvana - Smells like Teen spirit (Beat Hackers rmx) Pink Floyd - One of these days (Haldolium rmx) Pink Floyd - The Wall (Evil Drug Lords rmx) Pink Floyd - Welcome to the Machine (Oforia rmx) Prodigy - Smack my bitch up (@cid rmx) prodigy - Voodoo people (Eskimo rmx) Rammstein - Du hats (Digital Outlaw rmx) The Gentleman - Roop Suhana Lagta Hai (Audialize rmx) Van Morrison - Brown eyed girl (Fuzzion rmx)

My case exactly... except that I lost touch in 2003, after I wrote my little historical synthesis actually. Since then Moni's Billboard is what I feed on psychedelically speaking, no time to browse by myself. So, I'm used to waiting for a whole year, a couple of days more won't disturbed me in the least.

E-Rection - Smoke my Dang-A-Long (1992) Some of Electrotete's works (91 - 92)

Holymen - The Formula Yeah right, burn me at the stake, I deserve it...

This one's better IMO : Kids today, huh...

Pleiadians - Seven Sisters

Same as Anoebis. Depends on what you call "psychedelic" also. Personally I stick to the synesthetical definition, i.e. perceiving sounds as colors. A very subjective experience indeed. My favorite example: Koxbox - Dragon Tales.

Something up-to-date or old school could be okay?

Bypass Unit - Zenia (Fat Freddy mix)
