Hey People I thought i'd pay a revisit since i stumbled in here while searching for reviews of "Archaic Modulation" by Stevie Be-Zet. How has psynews been doing these past 6-7 years?

nicey nice, good production, good riffs, spankin bass

I was like "whoah, artist name and album title aren't immediately recognizable as tasteless nonsense... maybe the music is alright" but it was just the same neo-goa sounds and melodies all over again. overproduced yet flat and muffled, pompous and ambitious yet completely uninteresting. melodies are either randomized or cheap spooky-movie-soundtrack ones. no thanks.

damn, there are actual melodies and they make sense

I'm not much for new psy but if there's something really slick, busy and well-produced with very big sentimental melodies and phat basslines and short track lengths I'm gonna love that. Maybe Agneton knows something about this kind of psytrance? Some tracks in Tatsu's cheese thread were close.

I think it was "alpha centauri" by hallucinogen, in around 2003 when I was into eurodance and breakbeat stuff. There was a great relief in finding that electronic music wasn't necessarily either sickly-sweet fluff or boring non-evocative empty attitude.

it's rhythmically precise, musically filtered, dynamic and not overloaded with processing. is that "too simple"?

fuck yeah

sounds like this track to me: http://soundcloud.com/poire-a-lavement/01-autolaser-cebuella-chapter (not psyt though)

I might just be too ignorant of this style some nice examples would do good

I don't see how that music could satisfy the hunger for great, melancholic, climaxes. From what I've heard, the old, more ambient IDM has very dull and languid melodic tendencies. Maybe I've missed something but I think a way better place to look for melodies and similar psychedelic mood to goa trance is psychedelic/folk rock but then we're sort of outside the electronic music domain.
