Some hardcore artists (i mean hardcore = techno = gabber, not hardcore punk) have called they're style artcore because they think it's more artistic. Correct me if I'm wrong...

Yahel's older music was really really good!! And those goggles Yahel is wearing are so ugly that I don't know wether I should cry or laugh. But Texas Faggot goggles are funny.

There's some info on him in Allmusic.com. I'll copy it here: Bryn Jones was not a practicing Muslim and never went to the Middle East. His recordings as Muslimgauze, however, qualified him as one of the Western artists most explicitly slanted in his favor of the Palestinian liberation movement. Since the Manchester-native's works were instrumental, most of the political statement was inherent in the packaging: Witness titles such as Fatah Guerrilla, Return of Black September, Hebron Massacre, Vote Hezbollah, United States of Islam and The Rape of Palestine. Jones could have been a potentially controversial figure if his releases were available in anything except severely limited editions — usually less than one thousand copies of each. Despite their lack of prominence, Jones' blend of found-sound Middle Eastern atmospheres with heavily phased drones and colliding rhythm programs were among the most startling and unique in the noise underground. Formed in 1982 to protest the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, Muslimgauze's first release was the Hammer & Sickle EP, which appeared in 1983 as a response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. During the 1980s, Jones averaged almost two Muslimgauze albums per year, plus additional EPs and limited releases (of 500 copies each). With 1990's Intifaxa he earned his first release on Extreme Records, an American label with releases by Robert Rich and Paul Schütze. Five albums followed for Extreme in the next four years, while a half-dozen were released on the Dutch Staalplaat, distributed in the States as well through Soleilmoon. As the decade progressed, Muslimgauze's output became even more concentrated — five albums in 1994, six a year later, and an unbelievable eight LPs in 1996. The experimental/noise underground increased in visibility during the late '90s, with Muslimgauze productions gradually encompassing heavier beats and a style close in execution to post-industrial beat-heads Techno Animal, Download and Scorn. The Muslimgauze project ended tragically in 1999 when Jones died suddenly of a rare blood disease. A number of posthumous releases including Lo-Fi India Abuse (partially a collaboration with dub collective Systemwide) and the nine-disc Box of Silk and Dogs soon followed. His discography really is huge! I've heard one of his records, Citadel. It's quite good, rhythmic ambient with lots of eastern world-music influences.

LOL what a cool guy! Fuck, I wouldn't touch those records with a 10ft stick! Around The World doesn't come near these...

Fuck I didn't remember how ugly that last one really was... And talk about engrish, "Somthing to remember" Same category than "Lerger then life"

Try Tuu, it's very beautiful! Also Mo Boma and Muslimgauze are good.

Breakbeat Era cd is nice, I think it's Roni Size's project. Not very hardcore or psychedelic, but some nice vocals & basslines here and there....

Yeah, really good one!

Or then it could be Beats&Styles - Dance Dance Dance

With me it was just the opposite, I like it more and more every time I listen to it... And BTW what is wrong with the vocals?? I think they're great!

Well it wouldn't bet a set or a mix if it wasn't mixed...

Or some well made clubtrance...

The Orb

Well, I didn't mean to compare them as such, I just said that I like them more. And they are generally considered to be in the same genre... But maybe I have to listen to BoC more, and get their other stuff too. Maybe I'll learn to like it then

I don't like BOC so much, there are some better artists in the genre, like Autechre or Squarepusher. Geogaddi is better than Music Has The Right To Children IMO.

There are some on Psychedelic.ru but I haven't been able to dl from that site for a long time...

Wow, 5 years... I've been visiting the site for about 4 years, that's a long time...

Yeah, Sweden is really one of the top progressive trance countries (if not the best). Son Kite, Ticon etc...

Agree with you about music done like it was just a bad joke. Too much noise and idiotic samples going on in most of Finnish psy. The names are often stupid but sometimes funny, like "Pilluminati Cunt Roll". That was hilarious! Those Swedish track (and artist) names are really funny IMO, better than most of the Finnish. Tripple Nipple, lol... But to the original question, I don't like Finnish psy (except one or two tracks by Texas Faggot, Squaremeat, Haltya and the likes), so I would search the best artist in another genre. Rinneradio is great ambient/dub, Pan Sonic is great experimental and CMX is great progressive/hard rock.

Haldolium - One of These Days or Dark Soho - Sleepwalking

Smokin Japanese Babe and Egypt are the best tracks here. Great album!

What the hell is wrong with polls? I think polls are always interesting. And to the original question: Infected of course!

Lol Scooter is bad. I used to like it, thought it was hardcore.....

plop

You should try hardcore/gabber. Dj Dione - Darkness & Brightness G-Town Madness - Elfland The Masochist - No Newstyle Rotterdam Terror Corps - Megarave
