krelmatrix Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Alright, I've been mostly out of the whole harder side of psy for awhile now, but I've found myself occasionally wanting hear (and getting asked to play) something in that style. However, I'm sick of hearing the same CDs and playing mostly the same set (with minor variations) I've been playing for the last 2 years. I'm looking for somewhat recent psychedelic trance with a dark feel, but I am absolutely NOT talking about this whole unmelodic killagggrrrhh deathspeed-darktrance wave that is so damned popular now (that stuff bores me to tears). No clowntrance or guitar-laden metal trance. None of this AzaxIronSkaziPsychoticDerangoMadness sound. I like melodies, so I guess I'm looking for recommendations in the 140-145 bpm range with non-uplifting, brooding, slightly sinister or dark melodies. And overall smoothness and flow is a plus. A few examples of what I'm talking about are: Xerox & Illumination - most of their recent X.I. album (especially "Ghost in the Machine", "Night Shift" and "Assimilation of Reality") MFG - Shining Faces Sandman - Holy Flip For me, some of the seminal "dark" psychedelic trance tracks are "Panic in Paradise" by X-Dream, most of MFG's Project Genesis album and a couple tracks from Ofer's Pigs in Space album - "Visitors (Part 1)" being my favorite if I'm remembering correctly. Maybe this gives a bit of an idea of where I'm coming from. Any ideas? Am I being too specific? Quote
Anoebis Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Slide UX/Syb Unity Netwerk Xenomorph Penta Ka Sol (yes, he must be the master of dark melodic music) Freak Factory cds of Stone Age Cydonia Tim Schuldt/Four Carry Nuts (PENDULUM!) the Second Darksoho album Todra! Quote
Lepton Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 eraser vs yöjalka : round 1 fits your description exactly however they don't sound noway near your recomandatons Quote
ukiro Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 BATTLE OF THE FUTURE BUDDHAS OK maybe not the demonizer album, but twin sharkfins and their 1990's compilation appearances, as well as some of the less industrial tracks on the schlab compilations. Quote
Daze Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 I think you should check out the track Paranoid Sensation, by Terminator and Dark Shire. It's on a compil called Yes or No. The end of this track might fit you very well! I also agree on artists like Ka-Sol and Penta. Check out tracks like Penta - Lost in Space. Quote

RTP Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 My recommendation would be: Neoris - Last Mission Of Atomic Submarine that was the very best recommendation I got here when asking about a somewhat similar subject Saikosounds sample here: http://ip23.dyn181.pacific.net.hk/29105.m3u Quote
Maxx Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 check out future prophecy´s album "shadows" and maybe shakta "silicon trip" Quote
GaySatanicHippie Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 I heard Xenomorph live a year ago, that sounded exactly li,ke you said, except i had shitloads of guitars Quote
Time_Trap Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Cydonia - In Fear Of A Red Planet [it has been remastered in 2003] Quote
fohat Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 the new hydraglyph `kinetic´ on sanskara comes into my mind for melodic darktrance. especially the title track `kinetic´ and the guitar track `condition black´ (here we have a remixed version, the original was even better imo) are two good examples.

Time_Trap Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 and maybe shakta "silicon trip" 426053[/snapback] melodic? yes. dark? not at all Quote
Inducted Consciousness Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Even though I love dark melodic psytrance, I am no expert connoisseur. Besides the recommndations already given, I would recommend some Bypass Unit and Cybernetika, who has posted on this forum some good melodic dark psytrance/goa tunes. Quote
Fuse Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 check out the new kluster from 2005 and the scorb from 2003, maybe that's what you are looking for Quote
Stalker Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Check out the Cybernetika tunes and his album wich he posted here on Psynews Its quality music, very very nice.. and it fits your description Its a lesson for you look for "underground" artists more on the future Quote
Stalker Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Ok here is the link where you can dowload his album Cybernitica album and here is the link for the topic where he posted if you need a better description http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=26490&hl= I really think his music fits on what you are looking for.....give the men a chance Its a great Dark melodic album, of the highest quality Edit: I hope you wont fell ofended cause i wrote your project name wrong on that link Quote
Time_Trap Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 yeah Cybernetika has delivered us lotsa nice tunes.. maybe he should get signed sometime soon... Quote
Basilisk Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 You might want to check out what I threw into this mix: http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=31379 Quote

ukiro Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 wtf psyshop hasnt got any ka-sol cds???? 429181[/snapback] There are no Ka-sol albums. However, if all goes as planned, one will be released on Suntrip ("melodic" style) and one ("night" style, possibly a double CD) on Schlabbaduerst. Both are planned for this year. Quote
