Otto Matta Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 Okay, I often get frustrated by the psy scene because it doesn't get powerful or deep enough. I like the tech thing because it gives me the power I enjoy, but it can also be fairly dry. So I'm probing - it's a long shot - for recommendations for stuff (not psy) that has as many of the following elements as possible: - electronic - powerful - serious!!! - deep - dark - large!!! - subtle - interesting - not highly repetetive - not trying to be scary/horror, because that's silly - synthetic - emotive - artful - not too fast, not too slow - has some variety, twists and turns Gimme some giant, stomping, storming, raging electronic music that makes me feel. Thanks. Quote
DeathPosture Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 Vengaboys? Nah, you're asking the impossible Otto... Quote
JackCheese Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 Vengaboys? 542679[/snapback] I saw Vengaboys live once! In my hometown even! Well.. live.. probably more like a tape playing at loud volume.. and I was very young, twas 8 years ago or something Very sad Quote

Agneton Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 *This Morn' Omina (=Industrial/Tribal sort of music)...although I'm not sure...maybe too 'dark' *VNV Nation (=EBM)...but also these might look too 'dark & silly' to you... You should give them a try anyway. Quote
lumpi Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 If it doesn´t have to be psy... how about this one then: Converter - Blast Furnace seems to fit quite well Quote
SkeletonMan Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 Vengaboys? Nah, you're asking the impossible Otto... 542679[/snapback] Haha, I was about to say Front 242. They carry what you require, but off course perhaps not all in all tracks. Try some of the older stuff. Tyranny for you, Front by Front, and Official Version. Classix Quote

Thanks. 542672[/snapback] Well, bligh me, just checked your list. Front 242 has all of that. 2nd opinion from DP? I know you know them too Quote

Otto Matta Posted June 6, 2006 Author Posted June 6, 2006 I will look into Converter. I used to listen to Front 242 a long time ago. I guess I forgot to put No Lyrics on my list. Thanks guys. Quote
Otto Matta Posted June 6, 2006 Author Posted June 6, 2006 Tangerine Dream - Rubycon (part 1) Play loud on headphones and it will meet all these requirements. 542744[/snapback] I used to own this album, actually. It was nice. Not quite raging, though. Quote
Otto Matta Posted June 6, 2006 Author Posted June 6, 2006 You're asking quite a lot there. 543032[/snapback] I know. But what the hell, right? Thought I'd probe the innards of our collective musical knowledge. Quote
Bahamut Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 uuhm ok so you want big stomping raging but not too fast and...subtle? that's pretty hard Speedy J - A Shocking Hobby ? not that much melody and subtlety though some sort of dark heavy drum 'n bass? Quote

Music with nuance and inventiveness. There are some close tracks on Timecode's Broken compilation. I'd also throw in Spirallianz as an example. But I was hoping there was something outside of this genre that was even bigger. Richard Devine has quite a large sound, but his stuff is too frenzied, and I suspect Squarepusher's latest stuff is still pretty scattered, when I'd prefer something more stylized and functional for the ears and mind.

phobium Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 You need some speedcore/breakcore. You just don't know it yet. Quote
visine Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 How about Nuclear Ramjet "Mission to Sedna"? They also have a couple of tracks off the album in better quality and full length on their show with interviews etc.. here. Enjoy Quote
Daniël Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 you mean stuff like this? formic acid - eternia check out: formic acid solar quest blue alphabet ketamind alien factory paradizer hardsequencer paragliders (!!!!! great music) intrance feat D-sign Van Basten- king of the death posture union jack all great trance/acid . Quote
phobium Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Daniël ... great list of acts there, classic stuff for me Quote
Otto Matta Posted June 7, 2006 Author Posted June 7, 2006 extrawelt 543147[/snapback] Any recommendations? Links? How about Nuclear Ramjet "Mission to Sedna"? 543167[/snapback] It's pretty music, but doesn't rage at all. Thanks, though, I've been curious about that album. you mean stuff like this? formic acid - eternia 543175[/snapback] Nope. It's like a faster version of standard psy, with a club sound thrown in. It has speed but it doesn't have power. Thanks for the link, though. I'm not looking for trance beats with acid. I've got enough psy music. Okay, another track that is close to what I'm looking for is Delta's Pop or Def by Delta, Part 2. But now I want bigger, harder, with more detail, and not necessarily a 4x4 beat. (I know this is tough, but I thought I'd try.) Quote

One of my all time favorites is Nordcore. Check it out at http://www.nordcore.de/ Their sound is very powerful, but not in a Rotterdam overdone kind of way. This is true dark, underground horror core with a lot of detail and psychedelic riffs that at times may appeal to a psyhead. I absolutely love the dark and scary atmosphere they create. I haven't heard their newer stuff but I bet it's just as good as older. Quote
