  1. Just because a track has a full on bassline doesn't mean it can't be psychedelic! I mean come one now we don't live in 2004! I can name you 1000 tracks with full on bass that are 100% psychedelic to the bone. What the bass has to do with anything? As long it's not annoying (high notes, way too loud etc.) then what's the problem?
  2. Merrow's track is really twisted, but the mixing is kind of weird, isn't it? The kick is too loud and the synths too low, sounds a bit messy. K.O.B. track is really psychedelic. We need more of this.
  3. A bad sample can ruin a good track. A great sample can make a great track even better. I try to imagine AP-People Can Fly without the sample. Yes the music would still be godly, but that sample really boosts the experience. There's the sample, the build up and when the climax ends People Can Fly!. And you do fly. Perfection. Or how Crop Circles-Lunar Civiliation would be without the classic Clark sample? What I hate the most is not the random samples artists use. It's when an artist uses a funny sample in a serious track or an artist uses a serious sample in an unserious track. There's nothing worse than listen to a great darkpsy track, dark and spacey and suddenly a simpsons sample pops up. Or listen to a clubby full on and a 'Eat their souls' sample ruin your experience.
  4. Messiah-Hypnosys (Elysium rmx) Psygone-Equal Bottle Blows
  5. Me neither. I went to the store to buy the rest three and it was there all of a sudden. I gave it a quick listen, it's exactly as you'd imagine from the tracklist. Non stop in your face madness. I gave it a quick spin yes. It sounds amazing. Very spacey IMO.
  6. PS. I was searching for these images and it's amazing how many sites exist for exclusively psytrance illegal download. Great way to support the scene!
  7. They are the same group. And one of the best out there.
  8. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7XIUyHMsmc&feature=related !!! And of course the best psy-ish track ever created for a videogame. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wTanZG28xg
  9. Just listen to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEHZRBLqZU4&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppTBkWUXjKI&feature=related
  10. Extreme-G (the first one) has the best electronic, goa-ish soundtrack ever. Amazing stuff.
  11. 1. Concept- Propaganda Machine 2. Artifakt feat. Phyx- The Ladder 3. Tryambaka- Mythology 4. Lost & Found vs. Ex-Gen Unlimited Access (Absolum edit) 5. Twisted System Overtone 6. Poison- Radio Active 7. Khopat vs Tryon- Mind Over Matter 8. Earworm vs. Horizon- Powerful Stuff 9. Scorb -The Ploy 10. Brethren vs. Slug- Feedback SAMPLES The new all star compilation from Timecode is here. But does really belong to the best of the best SA comps together with New Blood, The Turning, Midnight Storm etc.? Let's find it out. First track is by french artist Concept. More 3D vision style than SA psy Propaganda Machine is dark-ish, energetic and metallic. It reminds me a lot of early CPU style, which means that power lovers will enjoy it. Tbh I've listened better tracks from Concept but it's still very-very good. Artifakt and Phyx collaborate to create the Ladder. Like most of Artifakt collaboration tracks it sounds more like Artifakt than the other artist in this case Phyx. The track is phat, powerful and has the signature ''classical'' melodies of Artifakt. It's a great track, but not the best of these artists. Portuguese artist Tryambaka continues the more melodic approach with Mythology. Like all Tryambaka tracks it's psychedelic, fast and supermelodic. It has more than 3-4 lead melodies, all entertaining and energetic. Especially in the middle the track takes a Talpa approach with great ''classical'' melodies before it turns into a hammer again. Winner track. Next we get a track by Lost & Found and Ex-Gen remixed by Absolum. As you have guessed power is the key word here. The track is hard full on to the bone, phat like a SA beast, but with all the Absolum tricks here. There's a specific moment where the lead melody hits the track with such energy that it must be heard to be believed. Awesome. Then we go the gods of psytrance Twisted System aka Shift & Phyx & Rabdom L. As phat as it gets, with acidic lines, dark melodies and a final climax that will leave you breathless. I don't know how the hell they're doing it, but it's perfection all over again. Poison, a new act (portuguese I think) with a 100% SA sound. Like all Posion tracks it starts with a fast baslsine and crazy fx all over the place. The effects are so well made and placed that it impresses me every time. Soon full power synths enter and lead you to a break when you can hear the leading melody. Which of course will return a bit later with a full blast climax. To put it as simply as I can this is psytrance at its best. Portugal again with two of its biggest stars, Tryon and Khopat. Tryon is more twilight styled while Khopat is in your face power. Mind Over Matter is fast, psychedelic and really aggresive. It's actually 8 minutes of non stop effects and layers all over your face. But it's really well made. The next track by Earworm and Horizon continues the power by adding more dark melodies. Whoever has listened Earworm's tracks before can identify his signature synths, but this time they're better than ever. Melody and power minus the cheese, that's what we need. Scorb returns again in a Timecode compilation after Future Cuts with The Play. Well you know Scorb. It's clean, heavy with weird melodies. It's not his best track, but as always it works. Last track by the Brethren bros and Slug. It's the softest track here and the more morning styled, despite some eerie parts. Although I miss some super lead melody the tracks reminds me a lot of Pitch Hikers with more key changes which is as good as it sounds. So, Tokoloshe Tales is indeed the next super compilation by Timecode filled with psychedelia and power for 73 minutes. All tracks are great including two tracks that personally I will listen for decades to come (Overtone and Radio Active). IMO the best release of 2010 so far. Go grab it!
  12. I'm the guy with the red-white shirt at the bottom left.
  13. I personally prefer a not annoying full on bassline than a k-b-k-b style.

  15. Actually that's xbox 360 red ring of death. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RROD#Three_flashing_red_lights
  16. From newschool the one and only Sky Input! Yes I mean the WHOLE album. But if I have to choose one track then it's definitely Galactic Rays. Beyond belief.
  17. I think the time has come for an album. We desperately need some powerful new school goa today.
  18. Lepton Head is in my top 5 for sure. +1 to everyone who mentioned Kabalah, but my no.2 is Psychonauts-Shadows Of The Moon
  19. That's Toad from X-Men movie!
  20. I said ONE! That's the purpose of this thread. Instead of 'your favorites melodies' you have to choose THE best of the best.
  21. If you have to choose ONE which would it be? Remember ONE!!! I'll go with Crop Circles-Lunar Civilization famous riff.
  22. The most enjoyable new school Goa album after Filteria's ones. Great work!
  23. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469494/ I watched this film for the second time yesterday and I have to say that it is one of the best movies I've ever watched. Massterful direction, masterful soundtrack and increbible acting from Lewis and Dano. It's a movie about greed. From every side. It's really sad it lost the oscar for best picture from No Country For Old Men.
