Gus Sarcoffa Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 1) Shpongle 2) Voice of Cod 3) Derango 4) Mushy Mystery 5) Broken Toy And now, with the time remaining to me, allow me to express a whole bunch of useless opinions in the fine tradition of psynews forum threads. First: of course these "best of" threads are worthwhile. Supporting argument 1: lots of forumistas of their own free will participate in them. Worthwhile in the context of a web forum is pretty much defined as "that which participants find worth their time." Supporting argument 2: what is a community without a) a common set of values that bind members together ("mmm, psychedelic...") and an ever-ramifying set of differentiations of taste to provide frisson ("Shpongle is The Suck!" "No way dude, they are The Ruliest!"). Supporting argument 3 (ad hominem flavor): please don't tell me you are the kind of person to walk into a fun party and start criticizing everyone for the banality of their conversation. You know damn well you are not. You'd never be invited back if you were, and it would be nothing but Friends reruns for you every Saturday night until you're old and sad. So, why do that on a web forum? You charge in demanding of everyone that they Justify Their Behavior, but where is your justification? Oops. Second: as others have mentioned, it's really awkward to make a single best-of list. There are at least 3 different kinds of music commonly discussed here, and the case can easily be made that it's more than 3 depending on how anal one wants to get about one's subgenres. To put it mildly, Shpongle and Derango don't have a whole lot in common. This begs the eternal question of just what exactly is psytrance, anyway? On a very mundane level, I struggle with this whenever I try to sort my CDs. I used to mix all of "dance" together, then I separated it into "dance" and "psy" and now I'm thinking about going to a scheme such as "trance and house"/"breaks"/"goa"/"psy"/"prog psy"/"psybient". These distinctions are obviously arbitrary and there are going to be outliers and misfits no matter how you break it down. Why is it that we discuss Shpongle on this forum but not Nick Warren or Steve Bug or Crystal Method?

Oops. 420709[/snapback] interesting points you have there. some people see me just as a moderator, and not as a person who has feelings and brain, so i didn't wanna get "in there". Second: as others have mentioned, it's really awkward to make a single best-of list. There are at least 3 different kinds of music commonly discussed here, and the case can easily be made that it's more than 3 depending on how anal one wants to get about one's subgenres. To put it mildly, Shpongle and Derango don't have a whole lot in common. 420709[/snapback] true, but not everybody can or wants to split psytrance into subgenres. that's why we just asked Top 5 from people, leaving the rest up to them. This begs the eternal question of just what exactly is psytrance, anyway? On a very mundane level, I struggle with this whenever I try to sort my CDs. I used to mix all of "dance" together, then I separated it into "dance" and "psy" and now I'm thinking about going to a scheme such as "trance and house"/"breaks"/"goa"/"psy"/"prog psy"/"psybient".

Why is it that we discuss Shpongle on this forum but not Nick Warren or Steve Bug or Crystal Method? 420709[/snapback] well, this could be the subject of a new thread. if you wanna do it. i'd say that psytrance is the base. the headquarters if you want. but it's possible that in time, subgenres will differentiate from eachother and will stop being labeled as psytrance.

Solar Fields - Leaving Home 4. Ticon - Zero Six After 5. Entheogenic - Dialogue Of The Speakers Anyone disagreeing has absolutely NO double no taste in music. Period.

MIRO Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 how come so many people like the mediocre entheogenic album? 423943[/snapback] I'm wondering how does it come that some of you people are that antagonistic towards entheogenic. Traveller, NightmareTrancer and whatever your names are --- it looks like you're doing here some kind of lobby-work against those guys. No other artists are dissed that much on this forum like entheogenic. The same stuff, that was the point of your critic here could be adapted to so may others. Why don't you put your hate-parade towards somebody else? It would be enough when you post your top 5 list --- and at the end the score will show what people like more. I'm sorry if your favourite artist didn't get into the top 5, but what you want to reach with dissing others? Miro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
