    Great! Love the chord changes in the last part.

    I like what I've heard from Deliriant. What else to listen to in this style?
  3. recursion loop
    What is SA twillight? Deliriant?

    Well, half of it actually https://www.beatport.com/release/still-breathing/1778867 It sounds somehow similar to classic Vibrasphere (Archipelago) but ... better. Really. Deep melancholic atmosphere + very impressive melodies.

    I love when Trance2MoveU reviews fullon. When I see gifs with pissing horses and rainbow-coloured vomit and definitions like "fluffy, cheesy, crappy" in his reviews I know that I must check out the album asap because I'll most probably like it.

    Maybe not that bad per se, but AP completely failed to feel the story of the original track (which I think to be the best psytrance track ever made). I was hugely disappointed by this remix.

    Yes, the filters are its weakest point imo. There are many of them but they sound kinda similar, you can't crank up the resonance like you do in Diva or other good analogue-modelled filter - it quickly becomes harsh and very unpleasant. On the other hand, the two-oscillator FM sounds really good, I'm just trying this as I'm typing This is where softsynths usually suck and Virus rules. The wavetable tweaking also gives some interesting results, but mostly on harsh/ugly/angry side. Seems like hi-tech/darkpsy producers should love it. But it's not an instant gratification synth, and definitely not something I'd pick for the "sweet" sounds. Will dig the demo further.

    This is what it sounds like seems to be one stop solution for this paint-by-numbers psyprog

    Finally listened to the tracks ... Sorry, I couldn't help myself (psylophyta should get it )

    I've made a bunch of psytrance tracks (some were released) and also some uplifting trance and breaks. I can say that the genre doesn't matter, I've put roughly equal time and effort into making each of these tracks. But I consider myself an amateur, maybe for a professional producer, who is signed to a label and releases stuff constantly it's all different. If you are producing in a consistent style, you may save presets, effect chains, midi clips and then reuse them in next tracks, which makes the whole thing much faster/easier. Some people apparently can create a psytrance track in few days if not hours. Btw, it's a common misconception that it's easier to make a minimal track (like techno or deep house) than a full-on or goa track overloaded with synths and effects. When you are making smth minimal you must polish the crap of all your sounds because they all are clearly heard, you can't mask anything beneath other stuff. Also these subtle changes, tiny automations which are not clearly heard but act subliminally - all this is very important and not that easy to get it right.

    Seems like not much Serum users here

    What's the story behind this? Google tells that Argov was an Israeli pop singer who died 12 years before this release. Who actually made these tracks [remixes?]?
  13. recursion loop
    I liked the beat and some effects and the overall idea is weird enough to be interesting, but I would use less of that glitched sample (it quickly becomes tiresome) and maybe add some further synth parts.

    You wanna say she is not psy enough?

    If anything, I'm perfectly fine with someone disliking or even "bashing", no matter how hard, the music which I like. We all are different I had the impression (maybe wrong) that LD is criticized for stepping outside goa and especially for bodering the genre which is generally considered "inferior". If it is not the case, all good
  16. recursion loop
    I see, but I have the impression that the track is being bashed for being fullon, not for being "no-feelings and boring" (which for me it certainly isn't).
  17. recursion loop
    Didn't anybody say "i'm afraid this is the direction LD is going to take" or like that?
  18. recursion loop
    If I heard Prav without knowing who made it I'd say smth like "fullon made by a goa producer". The sound choises are more goaish but the rhytm section, song structure and melodics are more like late 00's melodic fullon (Ephedrix, Peace Maker, Astrix maybe). But if fact these genre defintions are really blurred and that's a good thing. What is not so good thing is that when someone known on the goa scene makes a track which doesn't stick to classic goa formula (booming kick, 303s, chaotic melodies in "ethnic" scales) people are telling him "dude, wtf, your track sounds like fullon and fullon = crap"
  19. recursion loop
    Remember that I've also called Rihanna fake. I'm a weird guy, really
  20. recursion loop
    I've just listened to the Prav track and I think it is really good - yes, it may be cathegorized as fullon, and it is fullon of my very favourite kind, trancey and melodic. I would love to hear an album of tracks like that. But I generally prefer fullon to goa.

    Psytrance is one of the most "freefrom" electronic music genres. Different artists incorporate whatever they can do and want to do into it. Some psytrance may use very complex harmonies and advanced musical theory, like Terrafractyl, some subgenres, like darkpsy or forest psy, dismiss a melody in a traditional sense and rely on atonal structures and timbre changes which are beyond any music theory. From the production viewpoint, psytrance is as complex as any other genre if you are aiming for a really well-crafted product and don't use premade content, like loops, samplepacks and "one note makes a track" presets.

    I know this word, but I don't think it is applicable here. Popsa means something inherently fake and tacky, like Rihanna (or Kirkorov ). I don't think IM are tacky - even their most kitschy tracks, like those where Duvdev is trying to sing, are at least innovative in terms of production and sound-design, and I think their music is mostly genuine - they are just not connected to psytrance anymore. Their latest output is mostly too arty-farty for me but I can understand why people may like it. "Popsa" in psytrance is Intersys, Perplex or Hi Profile - simple arrangements, basic sounds, primitive melodies.

    I used to be a really big fan of Infected Mushroom, but this was way before I started listening to psytrance. I also listened to some normal trance, some DnB, some electro house and I thought that IM is something wicked, edgy and futuristic and not as abstract as the rest of psytrance I knew about then. Now they mostly do nothing for me. Not that I think they are bad, or cheesy, or non-psy, but now i find their music too dramatic/over the top, like it was made to blow your socks off at the fisrt listen but it quickly becomes tiresome. CVII was pretty good though but for few tracks
  24. recursion loop
    Did anybody listen to the track referred to by the OP (Particle-x - goa for happiness ). FInd it, you'll get the idea then
  25. recursion loop
    Some of these may be considered pretty cheesy but they actually do convey an euphoric mood, at least for me And well ... you asked for happy tracks
