technosomy Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 Or maybe they're just post- mental hospital. 494680[/snapback] yes but these people are implying something about the label. i get the feeling its political. who knows them well eg when they started up were they contriversal in some way thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qa2pir Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I wouldn't think so, but wait for Ukiro He knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukiro Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I wouldn't think so, but wait for Ukiro He knows 495088[/snapback] Acutally, I don't have a clue what this might be about. As far as I know, Psy-Harmonics haev no hidden agenda or dark past. I don't think they'd have survived for 13 years if they fucked artists over, either. It's a top class label.

unikos Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 i had the honour of meeting andrew till (gus' bro and "main man" of psyharmonics) in the naoussa "magical forest" festival in greece some years ago.. i've also heard lots of their stuff... now i'm sure they re not trying to bring anything political through their label. they just promote "weird psychedelic music" if you will. also, i dont think they actually care to "establish themselves" in the trance market anymore. maybe the difference of psyharmonics and other labels is in what they enjoy(taste) and their background. for example ollie olsen who is also part of the label, i think, in more ways than just publishing his music, used to play punk rock back in the day, before becoming the avant-garde electronic music composer he is now. (psyharmonics people are older than what you'd expect) the label started with goa-stuff but has evolved a lot. maybe you know their rip van hippy releases. a good indication of what they're into are the "shaolin wooden men". if im not mistaken they still dont say who makes up this band, but its implied its the psyharmonics crew.. now the shaolin sound is very distinctive and can only be described by what agia_igoumeni wrote ; ) a visit to their website is well worth it. you'll see they got an ambient branch now and are selling imports from japan. stuff like AOA, psychedelic rock with synths, music i can't describe ; ) also industrial flavored stuff (snog)... from their WEBSITE: Welcome to Psy-Harmonics Australia's pioneering independent electronic label, distributors and online shop Home to Shaolin Wooden Men, Hesius Dome, Rip Van Hippy, Ollie Olsen, Black Lung and many more great artists from Australia and beyond who continue to develop and explore the vast territories of our sonic landscape.

ukiro Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 and as ukiro put it they havn't lasted for 13 years for nothing. does this make them the longest running label???????????????? 495265[/snapback] Phantasm also started in 1993, and are still alive. However, they released NOTHING during 2002 and were thought to be dead... Dragonfly also started in 1993, slightly before Phantasm even, and are sort of alive, although from what I understand Dragonfly is pretty much put on ice. Sublabel LSD seems to do a bit better though. But if you judge musical vitality, Psy-Harmonics has outdone both of those a hundred times over. Long Live Psy-Harmonics! I have 24 of their releases, but that's too few =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But perhaps you should check out their site, they are super nice to deal with, and always send you stickers and stuff with each parcel. They still have some very nice stuff in stock...

Late Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Aye, One of my fave labels, they always have had a quirky personal touch about them, and have released some top stuff. Not mediocre, like 99% of today`s labels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
