Darkpsy in the vein of Twisted System (check it out) might satisfy your need for gabber+psy.

I think it was very good and gripping - especially the characters Rorschach and the Comedian. Splendid performances for these two. Some of the others were a bit less engaging. The slow motion effect just adds to the gorgeous comic book aesthetic without taking it over the top at all!

In my opinion, the main downside of goa is the "psychedelicness" attached to it. I wish there could be more breaking free of these norms. New school goa as it is today seems to steer in the opposite direction, with even longer tracks, more subtle melodies and less distinctive arrangements. I would totally dig an album that embraces the melodic, cybernetically atmospheric side of goa trance and avoids samples about drugs or spirituality, emphasizing the personality of each individual track (through distinctive melodic hooks and recognizable sound textures) instead of conformity between tracks. Shorter track lengths, all-business and no foreplay - but still not goofy and stupid (Finland, you hear me?) - and many tracks on an album, with chill out tracks if they make sense as interludes or otherwise, and not "because they have to be there". If so, I'd like a focus on a more cinematic aspect of the ambience, instead of the ethereal, untouchable, transcendental. Kind of a popularized goa, if you wish. But dismissing it as that would be missing the point, I think.

"Rising High" from the new album by Transwave. I can hear hints of "Malaka Dance" in it (as in samples from it, not mere musical similarity, it seems). Really beautiful harmonies and the intro took me by absolute surprise. The industrially tinted riffs are still there, but with a new, lighter, faster, touch. Beautiful.

A wonderfully consistent yet inspiring sound. No time for neurotic variation. Just a beautiful goa sound with a prism of emotions. The climactic melody in "Bombay Night" is purely awesome. The way the bring in blue notes while still keeping the atmosphere is astounding.

Paying the prize for last night's experiments

Gets me up when I'm down. At least a little bit. Unpretentious, chilled out.

Keep it up!

Mr Peculiar - Mystic Entity Splendid! I like how this track is visual instead of intellectual.

Wonderful

Pleiadians - Asterope Such a fucking rush

Planet B.E.N. - Questionmark Early classic! :posford:

Ephedrix from last year.

Go listen to some experimental modern orchestral music or drone. Psy trance is hardly challenging compared to this stuff. This judgmental attitude doesn't take you anywhere but to an imaginary pedestal where you can pretend you know better. Taste!

I'm glad to see that their mastering does not prioritize LOUDNESS! 'nuff said. I've elaborated on this subject in other threads.
