Really? IMO Tryambaka is the exact opposite of the generic full on. I don't consider him full on actually more like melodic twilight. His style is totally crazy, intense with powerful bass minus the cheese and classical music-inspired melodies.

Me neither to be honest.

+1

Check out the last 3 tracks http://www.saikosounds.com/english/display_release.asp?id=8586

From what I know, it's just a 15 minutes episode about Hugo as the island protector. No mysteries solved, no revelation, nothing. Just a bonus mini episode as a thank you to the fans.

From the ones you posted Transwave. I would also add Talamasca (his old school period), he was a master of psy/goa.

Looks awesome!

The fourth installment of the best psy series ever is coming!!!!! Check out the samples http://soundcloud.com/nexus-media/sets/midnight-storm-4-acid-rain-v-a-1

Here it is.

Psykovsky-Tanetsveta

What?

It's not IDM though. It has a hint of IDM, but it's 99% psytrance.

Shift-Closer from the NIN song is the best psytrance remix I've ever listened based in a famous song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcsEkhywEzc

I don't know it and this is why I wrote: I'm not saying that I'm right and the people who listen to Alien Jesus wrong. My theory is that a big part of the 'mainstream audience' listen to the music cause it's hot and it's a matter of time before they leave it for the next trend. just like dubstep. Dubstep is really hot in greece today. Every dubstep party is filled with teens that just discovered it. The same teens that they gonna move to the next hot thing after the hype dies. And there are people like Ov3rdose who actually started listening to dubstep, cause they simply like it.

Suomi artists are crazy!

I personally don't know not even ONE person who likes darkpsy and used to like uplifting/nitzhonot. Apart from the partyspammers (ppl who go to every psy party: darkpsy, goa, full on, prog, nitzo without caring much about the music) I don't know anyone else. In fact I can't understand how someone who used to listen to popeye melodies and the most simple music that exists (a kick, a bass and a sytnh) can go to a music that lacks melodies and is chaotic. Again I'm not talking about the partyspammers. I don't consider those people as an audience to be honest. Anyway too much off topic. I'm out.

you're kiding right? All of my friends were listening to uplifting. My 15 yo cousins were listening to uplifiting. I was in the army there and EVERYONE in our wing was listening to uplifting. None of them moved to darkpsy. Maybe a 1%? I understand that you don't like darkpsy, but it's getting ridiculous.

I'm not an underground snob, but when ppl bitch about a music genre has gone commercial they do have a point IMO. The point is that every single music genre that has gone commercial more or less has lost a part of its original quality. House, techno, lounge, idm, drum n bass, electro, hip hop, metal, jazz, hard rock you name it's here. Every music genre purist will bitch about how songs that aim at 'commercial audience' is inferior. Of course the big question is why the purists must be right and the mainstream listeners wrong. Well there's s theory about that. 'Mainstream audience' are not necessary music lovers. Mor like 'casual listeners'. They just listen to music, which is great, but it can end up really bad for the music. Here is an example: Some years ago Greece discovered uplifting. Or what they called it 'psychedelic trance'. The music became so popular that eventually everyone was listening to it. The more popular the music became, the more the quality was dropping. It ended up into tracks that even the 'mainstream audience' laughed with. And guess what happen... It died. As fast as it grew, it dissapeared. Suddenly no one cared about it anymore. Why? It was obviously a trend. Most people never cared about the music. They liked it yes, but when a new trend appeared they abandoned it. Sometimes it's better the music to be listened from those who actually like it. It may sound like narrowminded and selfish to some, but I agree with this opinion.

I think MAM015 means commercial releases inside the psy scene.

IMO Da Budet is really different from Debut. Almost completely different styles.

I don't think that's the case with Psykovsky. All his album have a unique sound.

I haven't seen any comments about the new psykovsky, so I'm interested to know what you think. I find his new album something really groundbreaking. It's the first time in my life that with a whole album I can totally relax while a 160 bpm bassline and heavy kicks blast through my speakers. If you haven't listened to it yet, I will inform you that both of the cds have style similar to the Hellove Ja Wohl Yo track in Da Budet. That means they are darkpsy with ambient elements or maybe the opposite. I don't know where Vasily will go next. This album seems like the final step of his darkpsybient style that started with Erlkoenig in Debut, Bekhudi and Hellove Ja Wohl Yo in Da Budet and now a whole double album. Maybe his next album will be full ambient? Anyway I find Tanetsveta mindblowing. I highly recommend it.

I agree with you antares, but here's the catch. Everytime a release like Alien Jesus get released, ppl tend to bitch about how bad it is. And they're right, not because of the music, but why this release has been made in the first place. Is it really about musical evolution? Check out Dali for example. I don't have nothing against her, cause I don't know her personally, but it's obvious (at least to me) that her album was made using the image-over-substance mainstream standards. She has a sexy pose in the cover, full singing with lyrics that no one gives a fuck and her lives are pop gigs, while she pretends to play keyboards. Why such releases exist in the first place? Maybe because there's an audience for it? Why there's an udience for it? Maybe because the full on scene (at least a part of it) has been commercialized? Isn't this why progressive has changed form psy influenced to housey-electro stuff? I'm not talking about Protoculture! He's a talented guy that decided to go even more regular trance and I wish him luck. But I find ironic that some people can defend an artist when he changes his style to more mainstream paths cause he's an artist and have a right to do it, when in a different thread bash the guy because he have gone cheesy full on. Yep, and I'm the narrow minded.
