Minimal Trance

I really hate to create new genres within a genre, but it's impossible to compare producers like Noma with Hallucinogen or Son Kite with Infected Mushroom.

 

There's is something that makes a difference. How would you define minimal or progressive trance??

 

I really need your opinion, in order to shut a smartass' mouth.

Infected Mushroom base their music more on the idea of a journey, a story telling. Ticon/Son Kite base their music on making people dance.

Very good point. I can't stand when people start comparing Hallucinogen to Hux Flux or other artists like that.

 

I think there is a difference though between trance thats minimal or just not melodic. For example, X-Dream is deffinately not minimal, although its not melodic either.

 

I think it might be possible to make a scale similar to this:

 

1. ----- VERY MELODIC ----

Yahel

Tim Schuldt

California Sunshine

Infected Mushroom

Pleiadians

Dark Soho

2. ----- MORE MELODIC -----

Hallucinogen

Shpongle

Miranda

Juno Reactor

Astral Projection

Talamasca

Man with No Name

3. ---- IN THE MIDDLE ----

X-Dream

Skazi

GMS

Battle of the Future Buddhas

Green Nuns of the Revolution

4. ---- MORE MINIMAL ----

Logic Bomb

Hux Flux

5. ---- VERY MINIMAL ----

Ticon

Son Kite

 

Now, obviously this is NOT a ranking going from better to worse. It is more of a guideline to use when comparing artists. You can only compare an artist from group 1 to another one from group 1 or 2. In other words, you cant "skip" a group.

Hux Flux Minimal !?!? WTF?!.. Have you heard Hux Flux - Cryptic Crunch album from 1999?

 

If that is minimal then EVERYthing is minimal.... I mean common' there are THOUSANDS of NOISES and sounds in Hux Flux songs...Very much going on all the time.. = NOT MINIMAL... ITS MAXIMAL!

Allright AplusC, let me get this straight. Ticon is NOT super-minimalistic, Parasence IS super minimalistic! Pleiadians could be minimalistic, just listen to Alcyone...

Though it usually doesn't do justice to artists with stickin labels on their work, i'd say this:

 

- AplusC's list is pretty accurate

 

- Also very useful for any newcomer who wants to discover more of the Psy/goa scene with buying the right CD's.

 

I would consider Dark Soho more in the middle though..

 

Peace.
