Yep cause it is a goa/psytrance forum

[senpsy]

Hmmm;

I have a question!

 

Why o why is Boards of Canada up there on the list?

 

I may be dead wrong but i would class their releases as Ambient Electro - sometimes its just, noises. going off. All over the shop. And beatless!

Not Psychedelic Ambient.

Maybe im classifying things here too much...

(I loved geogaddi anyways!)

Horray for shpongle!

Mr Posford + Mr Ram

I salute you.

don't worry, labelling music in all kinds of meaningless and totally subjective substyles is a common disease among many music listeners

try to resist it, it is a pointless activity

[Redeemer]

Ooze - definately. I wish they made another album, the first is my all time favourite chillout.

indeed their album is genious... I heard the live this NYE, and I was impressed...

 

The thing is, the first part of the live was from that first cd, and this part was great.. the second part was stuff I didnt know, more beatless, less basslines, etc.. I didnt like so much..

 

and I read an interview from the beginning of 2004, that seb was working on the second ooze cd.. I wonder if it will be like the second part of their live, which I didnt like so much .. I hope they keep working on the bass and beats

Yeah those laidback dub bass beats is what made it so great. Excellent stuff on a hot summer day accompanied with some cold beer. Too bad if their new stuff isn't as good.

ahh

thanks asura - sorry! I never read the question, just assumed it would have something to do with psychedeilc ambient....

[sherlockalien]

I hope its not new stuff, maybe older unreleased stuff.. or something.. but I really really hope the new stuff is dubby =)

THE ORB

OOZE

Saafi Brothers

Galaxy

[Strumpling]

Asura you have to check out the album called "Rushes" by "The Fireman!"

 

Don't just get random fireman tracks, get the album Rushes - have to listen to all of those tracks in order...... it is a brilliant project and insanely psychedelic once you get to know it.

 

I believe it is Paul Mcartney from the beatles (don't worry its nothing like the beatles..) and psy artist Youth (from Celtic Cross fame..) playing with all the nice high-tech toys.

 

 

I voted Shpongle tho

 

Everybody check out the Asura albums if you haven't heard them - these guys are rad!

 

Asura your Code Eternity cd is awesome!! I listened to it on Ayahuasca and your album danced very nicely with it

 

I have yet to purchase your newer one

 

Oh also you should check out "Bland Bladen - I Grevins Tid" I think that's how its spelled..... Ingenius psychedelic chillout/rock/whatever music

[Gnome]

I add Matthew Florianz(Liquid Morphine)

[asura]

Thanks Strumpling for your nice words,

 

We will check out your recommendations for sure...

[dr papa]

Those artists are so great that i refuse to vote for a single one as my favorite... so here are my favorites:

 

Shpongle

 

Entheogenic - LOVED Spontaneous Illumination

Ott - he should be on the list. The audience is with me

Ooze - Still sounds great

Mystery of the Yeti 2 - Just bought this one... it is MASSIVE

The Infinity Project

Saafi Brothers

Walter Ego - How come good old Walter is not on the list (He's Simon Posford, by the way, case you didn't notice)

Doof - not on the list, either... what is this, people?

Healer - NOT on the.... well, you catch my drift.... let's get on with it...

Jairamji - any of you heard 'Temple'.... whew! it will leave you breathless

[banjankri]

I gotta go with the doctor on this one. Ott, healer and Doof should be on the list. I also think you've forgot to put Nomads of Dub on the list (Simon's earlier collaboration with Doof). Spirals - the only track they made in 1998 - was truly beautiful

 

Another one worth mentioning is Dub Trees (Simon, youth and the Orb)

[sherlockalien]

appart from the ones I already mentioned:

 

 

adham shaikh is pretty good..

 

 

j viewz is very nice too

 

I absolutely loved the on air remix by Midival Punditz, but unfortunately I dont know anything else from them.. Im sure its good, though =)

 

I like Youth a lot too... nice stuff..

 

 

I normally preffer the more dubby types of chill, but for some more ambient and generally beatless stuff, Ishq is one of the few that I have really been able to enjoy..

 

as for more sexy loungy chill, I really enjoyed the compilation Chill Pill.. specially 2 tracks: Tao of groove - she ran around

and jazzelicious - sambossa

Banjankri, make your own poll next time, you will see how it's hard to put or remember everything in a single list

Moreover knowing that I don't know all the artists from all over the world and that I am not a psy historian!

You have the choice between 36 artists (the poll with the biggest choice), and though you are not happy?

 

But well, the big Oblivion is OTT, Ok... you can whip me, everybody

[mayflower]

Most definitely Entheogenic!

allright. easy there, lad, i meant no offense

 

I only suggested these other brilliant artists as a friendly suggestion. Sorry if i sounded rude. Didnt mean to

 

I DO know how hard it can be to remember all artists. Hell, with so many of them out there, i too would probably have omitted someone.

 

Peace, love and all

No problem Banjankri, I saw no offense!

This system of poll is very cool, but one can't add another choice or artist, after creating, it's a pity.

[sherlockalien]

huva network.. I tried listening to it quite a few times, and I just cant get it unfortunately.... its too... slow.... I wouldnt buy it... maybe only a couple of tracks, when they get more dubby, I can listen..

[Zewu]

Ambient usually bores me out and that's why I usually don't like it, but there are exceptions. If I like ambient, it's more towards the tribal/ethno-kind of ambient. The best ambient I have heard is Tuu, Toirés, Open Canvas and Alien Soap Opera.
