Guest Astro Cortex Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I've been tuning in to that station a couple of times today. If this is what you call dark/forest psy or whatever... it is really beyond me what you see in this music. There's like... nothing of interest going on. It's exactly like I decribed: kick+very low monotonous bassline+all sorts of FX/noises and it just goes on and on. I think I know what to call this: DEAD trance.. music completely void of emotions or any melody or atmosphere of interest. 555828[/snapback] Man, that's exactly what I think too. Sure it still might be different at an actual forest party etc etc, but I'm quite sure I couldn't stand that monotonous beat for more than like half an hour or so. Read my review of Hacking the Reality Myth: http://www.ektoplazm.com/reviews/hacking-the-reality-myth/ 555888[/snapback] Yep, that's what I'd call the real thing. Twisted psytrance as it should be, creative and original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know loads of music that I'd enjoy better in a forest than that so-called forest psy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Astro Cortex Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Ozric Tentacles is excellent forest music. Then there's a lot of good ambient, like Steve Roach on his more earthy/tribal side. And of course some tribal trance like PWOG/Exquisite Corpse would fit perfectly too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 yeah, and if you want a 4x4 beat to dance to you might as well spin Tiesto because it's not like dark psy has more artistic value or anything sorry I'm in a very irritating mood today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAH Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 yeah, and if you want a 4x4 beat to dance to you might as well spin Tiesto because it's not like dark psy has more artistic value or anything sorry I'm in a very irritating mood today 555944[/snapback] artistic value? wait all of a sudden we talking about artistic value ? you don't like 4/4 beats we get it, that's cool... don't close your options though and above all don't generalize, those enrage the pygmy communities of south east asia, and trust me, you don't want to piss them off. http://ip23.dyn181.pacific.net.hk/play/m3u/07d/e1.m3u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Matta Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 It's pretty clear that one either feels the forest thing or one doesn't. But again, I think a lot of that has to do with having experienced the Scandinavian forests, and likely the culture itself. Music is based on culture. It's language in a way, as well as images. If New Zealanders were to make their own brand of forest music, it would sound different, but it would also probably have some subtle similarities. I don't think people should get offended or defended if they don't hear it or feel it. But I would recommend taking a trip into a Scandinavian forest someday. There's a unique magic there. And if you feel it, you'll hear it in the music, and you'll probably like the idea of the two combined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NT Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 cold norwegian black metal is still the best 'forest' music... check out the first Ulver album for example... (bergtatt) and nattens madrigal They also contain real forest sounds (the sound of running on branches / breaking branches.. etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard some stuff, not so much from Roach, but from Robert Rich and Vidna Obmana that might apply. Never thought of it that way, though.

Never thought of it that way, though. 556144[/snapback] Some of that stuff sounds clearly connected to earth/nature somehow, so why not try it out in a forest?

If you would like to judge download a few albums such as Derango - Tumult or Schlabbaduerst 5 and try to listen as neutral as possible..

Bahamut Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 ok, I will.... even this music deserves a fair chance maybe that station is not a good representation of this type of music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
