heva Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Okies, so I have decided I want to see what's happening in the world of psytrance outside the realms of progressive. I've been listening to mostly just prog for ages, and I need suggestions on alternatives. Don't worry not getting bored of prog just fancy something new... I used to be well into spirallianz/midi milliz/old xdream and other artists like those and still like to listen every now and again. Also like the stuff released on digital psionics (twisted aussie stylee). But I am totally out of the loop with anything that's been released lately. So has anyone got any suggestions on what I should listen to? What's new and good??? I am quite picky, I'm not impressed with a lot of full on and I have no time for remixes of old pop tracks... Mwah! Looking forward to hearing what you guys recommend Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxx Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 have you checked out the older stuff?oh i just saw that you whant new stuff..... new and good:(imo) dissociactive/blockout para halu/world of peace droidlock/elephantronica wizzy noise/sabotage part 1 toi doi-psyring test mr.peculiar-mind dala here you have some suggestions...i myself prefeer to listen to very melodic music when i fell that way,i guess its cause progg is depeer slower and some times darker and harder, so some nice floating goa trance is nice for a change.....

Charlie Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 My opinion - there's not much good new stuff being released at the moment. Prometheus, Ott and Shulman are well worth checking out and are all releasing new albums later this year, other than them I'd recommend looking for older albums you missed the first time round. Eighty percent of the psy trance albums I purchased last year were oldies and I generally enjoyed them considerably more than the new releases I bought.

heva Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 Yesh new stuff pleasey! I need convincing that newer more full on psytrance isn't all generic and boring.....*cough* only joking. No I used to be well into more darker psy and I just haven't been able to find anything new in that style that I liked... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heva Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 My opinion - there's not much good new stuff being released at the moment. Oh. That's what I thought as well, I was kind of hoping I was wrong and had been living in a little proggy bubble missing out on some quality releases. *waits patiently for more suggestions* Prometheus, Ott and Shulman are well worth checking out and are all releasing new albums later this year, other than them I'd recommending looking for older albums that you missed the first time around. Eighty percent of the psy trance albums I purchased last year were oldies and I enjoyed them considerably more than the new releases I bought. 406772[/snapback] Ye I have loads of older albums....there's lots of gems out there. I'll certainly be keeping my pies peeled for new ott and shulman, like them both (not as convinced by prometheus tho). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Unusual Suspects 2 (Twisted) 406792[/snapback] I was disappointed with Unusual Suspects 2, it's predecessor is much better in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shpongled Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I was disappointed with Unusual Suspects 2, it's predecessor is much better in my opinion. 406793[/snapback] Actually I was a little disappointed with both of them but I like a bit more the second. I couldn't think anything else to recommend... maybe there are some if you dig deep... oh... new Blue Planet Corporation is coming this year... that should be good.

lumpi Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I used to be well into more darker psy and I just haven't been able to find anything new in that style that I liked... 406773[/snapback] Have you checked "Deviant Species - In the hands of the randomizer" then? It´s not that new anymore but it´s a rocker, not really full on and not really proggy either, something inbetween I´d say. Another good one is "RAM - Efficient chips", good stompy full on, yet not the usual one (not that new as well). Other albums: Ghreg on Earth, Procs, Derango...

Tox Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Good idea to keep an open mind & ear, Heva. For me personally, last coupple of years I prefer to look in the chill-dept. for my proggy alternatives. But aparently there's no shortage of suggestions here... I used to be really into the whole psytek-thing too, but these days it seems I just can't take that "harder-than-concrete"stuff anymore, at least not at home. But if that's what you're looking for, check out labels like Horns & Hoofs, Gravity+ or good old Boshke Beats. Also I'm pretty sure you'd like some progressive house too. I'm rediscovering older stuff by Deep Dish or Global Underground-mixes by Danny Tenaglia these days. As for the more trancy stuff: don't look at me...

Narr Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 try listening to everything from Ka-sol. Great variety and creativity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsu Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I liked the Nystagmus album a lot, it has great samples in it and it's by far not the standart full-on. Don't know if it fits your style, it's very melodic (but not in a cheesy way imho). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auryn Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 if you fancy something different you might also consider looking at this: Superpitcher - Today (mix cd) on the german label Kompakt records. it's kind of like progressive, but also quite psychedelic in places. No crazy blasting though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time_Trap Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Droidlock - Elefantronika Derango - Tumult California Sunshine - Sinking Sand (2003, still full of oldskool magic though, definitely check it out ! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Journey Man Project Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 if you want some nice dark twisted styles I suggest the following: http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/nai/nai1cd003.html the datakult vs infect insect is pure bliss!! for me this was the only realy really good release last year in 4/4 music... in ambient: http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/aja/aja1cd001.html got this last night... listened to it 5 times already, very nice dub styles, with alien landscapes and some nice 4/4 styles... if you like dark night time psy trance you'll enjoy this alot...
