Basilisk

Anyway... the thing to remember about full-on is that it is music designed for a dance floor. Plenty of us who listen to psytrance outside of the party context tend to prefer deeper and richer productions... stop me if I'm making a poor assumption, but I think this affects what we like to hear on the dance floor as well. Cookie cutter full-on doesn't do it for me. As a DJ my approach is geared towards playing stuff that is enjoyable at home out at the party as well... now, I do listen to some full-on at home, but it has got to be the stuff that is really interesting, with more than just a killer bass line. I don't think it is such a bad standard for sorting out what cross-section of full-on to feature in the party context. That's just my approach (and perhaps this resonantes with some forum members, who knows). I just think it is important to know that a lot of full-on only comes to life when it is live and loud in the context for which it was designed. I'd peg the quantity of disposable full-on released at about 75%... most of this stuff is made to get thrown around and later forgotten. Forum people forget that the driving factor are the biggest psytrance dance floors on the world - located in Goa, Thailand, London, etc. These dance floors, as gestalt organisms, demand new sounds constantly. This fuels the production of mass quantities of music... more than what the home listener would demand. The thing to remember is that you are not the sole representative of the global audience... psytrance is a music that is consumed in many different ways. To meet these demands, a lot of psytrance is released that would not meet with the approval of the discerning listener, or the home listener, or the intrepid reviewer - but it might meet with an ethusiastic response from people who simply attend the parties and don't actually own a single CD (or many others, besides that)... and, you know, I believe there are many more casual psytrance fans than there are notorious collectors and otherwise outspoken listeners. As with any music, if you dig deep, you will find quality stuff... if you want a great full-on album, I suggest checking out Xerox & Illumination's latest... now that is power!

SURPRISE!

Well, same goes for anything pre-millenial just about. I talk to people heavily into progressive psy and they won't even know of Purple & Lunar's Subtle Thrust or anything...

I have a term for what I do... OCDJ. I went through a phase some years ago where I really resisting mixing two tracks by an artist that started with the same letter, just to keep switching it up. Thankfully I've seen the light, and now only mix tracks by artists starting with vowels.

Time for some speculative mathematical noodling... suppose there have been 10 to 15 psytrance CDs released every week for the past five years (and maybe half that for the five years previous to that)... that is close to 5,000 CDs right there, each of which would average about 8 or 9 tracks, which means there might be close to 44,000 released songs... let's be generous and say about half are re-releases or some stuff - it seems to imply there are still about 25,000 psytrance tunes out there. At about 7 minutes a piece, that is... about 3000 hours, or 120 days of straight music. Hmm, is that low or high? Anyway, this is completely unfounded - quick estimates and sloppy calculations. What would your estimate be? If you were throwing a party and never playing the same track twice or ever stopping, how long could you go for? I think it's fair to include anything we'd generally consider in the psytrance world... prog, chill, full-on, Goa, whatever... so what do you think?

You're also despicable. How ignorant can some people on this forum get?

You're both daft.

That's a dumbass comment if I ever heard one.

What p2p apps are good for this? I seek a film called "Psychedelic Zion"... http://www.nfct.org.il/movies/Psychedelic_Zion_e.htm I saw this at a film festival then walked down the street to catch Wizzy Noise in their first show here. Pretty cool night. I'd like to see it again.

It was a good deal but now it's gone I updated my list with some new goodies!

Discogs: http://www.discogs.com/release/234726 There is no year posted anywhere on the CD unfortunatly... but the timeline fits.

It is originally from Kiss the Future 1! Check out my review... freshly posted.

I get a chuckle out of this: And I'm sure plenty of you will disagree, but I think any parodies of this tired old warning label are just way beyond cliched by now... it's 2006, jeez:

Yet they keep sending you promos? I think I've fallen off everyone's list by not reviewing the questionable releases... sheesh, and I'm doing them a favour

I really don't think this is much of a good album... one of the weakest ones from Blenn in fact. Meteor is pretty good, but I prefer the 2004 remix. The final track is an excellent piece of downtempo, but that's it. The rest is a bit wishy-washy. I wouldn't recommend it - there are much better EU albums out there.

.

Google helped me out with this old question... it is Sonny James - Endlessly... from 1971

Morphem - Hypnotone... oldie! <3

Shut up your spamface, I'm being lazy

It did? XI, Pirate Signal, and Punktuator basically swamped out any interest I would have had in the rest... the way it works is quite simple: generic 2004 full-on > generic 2005 full-on > generic 2006 full-on > genuinely good full-on (of any year).

I disagree... never found a release from them worth a damn. Plus aren't they responsible for the deplorable "Love of my Life' by Dali? No thank you.
