Otto Matta Posted June 6, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agneton Posted June 6, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpi Posted June 6, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkeletonMan Posted June 6, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Matta Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut Posted June 6, 2006 Share 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?

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.

visine Posted June 6, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Matta Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
