Prio Alea Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I'll have to say: Â 1.) Classical Mushroom 2.) B.P. Empire 3.) The Gathering (not as good as the 2 above imo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prio Alea Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 only in production quality.... if you're talking original ideas, though, it's a whole different story. 309854[/snapback] In Classical and BP I think every song feels more unique, when listening to gathering I don't get that (as much). I like the melodic touches on Classical & BP, I'm kinda tired of the anonymous pumping psy with no melodies. Those work very well on the dance floor, but I still prefer the other 2 albums. And I disagree, I def think Classical and BP has more original ideas than The Gathering. Â All IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that. Â 310208[/snapback] Raw ? Â You could at least use any other word than raw... Â It sounds crispy, smooth and psychedelic. I call raw albums the ones from 93-95 when sounds weren't so crispy and precise, where you can hear the echo of bass line in the distance...

ct haddock Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 said it before, sayin' it again...everything was downhill since the gathering..i think they are about to hit rock bottom soon at the rate they are going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that. Â 310208[/snapback] True it was the first album, and IMO you can hear it aswell. The sounds and the crazy ideas aren't fully evolved yet and it has this "raw" sound as you say. I like the work they did on BP and Classical better then their first, exactly because it's not as raw as the first. Now they have gone even further, more comercial and worse imo. Don't like the new stuff at all. Â Different taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 classical mushroom very good... try out some parasense or psycraft is a more elaborated and strong than infected... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kabamaru Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I know i'm gonna get shit for this but I would say check out CONVERTING VEGETARIANS and I'M THE SUPERVISOR..... Â I play them the most often and i love the melodies and songs. 300280[/snapback] I agree, especially for Converting Vegeterians. Both cds have really great tunes, its just that you get some filler tunes as well. IM The Supervisor again suffers from the same syndrome. 4-5 good tracks (stretched is simply amazing) and some really forgettable. A shame really, if they had taken their time and instead of two albums they would release just one the overall quality would be much higher. Â infected mushroom is great, a few grumblers on message boards dont like em tho. Â i think their earlier stuff is great to listen to while you sit or drive. their newest stuff is better for dancing and partying. Â i've never seen any psy act get people dancing like IM does. ive seen some psy DJs do it, but said DJs dont produce all their own music. 306363[/snapback] It's because psynews is the home of the purists (and cynics) hehe. After seeing them live in Sonica I agree, they know how to move the crowd, even though their music has become cheesy (too much electric guitar and vocals). Anyway, its fun, and I don't mind having fun and dancing with a huge smile on my face in a summer festival. Who knows, maybe they will return to their psychedelic roots at some point but it doesn't really matter anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And bring them back safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even Hallucinogen does that anymore, his sets are 50% new stuff that doesn't sound very promising and 50% old tracks that even though they 're classics, the magic is starting to fade away after so many live sets.

Â and no, not an ideal - it should be common practice. I try to do it with every DJ set I play, and so do some other DJs and Artists I know.

Guest Rain Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I like the chill cd of converten vegeterians... one of the best psychedelic cd's ever... Â I call it psychedelic elektro or something like that, it prooves they still can be good but maybe not into direction psychedelic trance or fullon... Â they should try other projects like simon does... and don't stick to their name and image... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qa2pir Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 The first two albums have rediculous melodies sometimes and great sometimes. BP Empire, the third one, has great production and several great ttracks, and feels more complete. The two latest i havent heard that much.
