Trolsk Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 When ever there are discussions about old school psychedelic trance I get the feeling that we're nostalgic about different things so I thought this pool might give us an understanding about what it actually is that we are nostalgic about. Personally, I like both styles, but my preference is mainly towards the twisted properties of old school psytrance. Btw, I define old school as psytrance released until 1999. Quote
krelmatrix Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 My feelings of nostalgia come mostly from the feeling of excitement and newness that the music gave me when I was first hearing it, rather than a particular style/sound. When I hear something like Total Eclipse - Waiting For a New Life, I don't think "Hey, this is an awesome track!" so much as I flash back to the first times I heard the track on a random copied tape a friend of mine had (one of the two times in my life when I can literally pinpoint a major mental shift), and the first time I finally ran across the a CD in the store that had the track, after months of searching. I don't "miss" the sound, because I still have all of the CDs in my collection and can pull them out anytime I want. I do look back fondly on the time of my life when I was first discovering old-skool goa, so I get those nostalgic feelings from that whole experience, rather than a particular sound. But I guess my first exposure was to more melodic sounds (I don't think there was very much twisted stuff out there yet in '95/96?), so the short answer to your question would have to be melodic style.

Guest Rezwalker Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 the melodic style. 592281[/snapback] +1 plus Flying rhino/Dragonfly/Transient releases as for twisted nothing special generally imo compared with the above labels. Quote
delars Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 both, but i enjoy the twisted style more. no hallucinogen though, don't really like it. these tracks make you think wow, these are some really cool sounds, but i wouldn't freak out on the dancefloor. i like melodic and groovy in the morning such as transwave, it just sounds like a train and u have to get on it i don't really like some asia2001 or pleiadians tracks, it's a bit OTT and the sound is just too "dry". perfect example of melodic morning trance i enjoy is phreaky - over the moon. funky shizzle. but most of all i like the dark 'n twisted releases, to be played at night.....fast, lots of 303, lots of atmosphere, sneaky, crawly, juicy and tons of crrrazy sounds, twitches, hops and bops. NASTY MUSIC perfect example would be green nuns of the revolution - megallenic cloud, alienated - not for children, slide - saturnalia -especially this one cya! Quote

Guest Rezwalker Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 only for you 592351[/snapback] sorry delars misunderstanding. i forgot the word "not" Quote
Lost Buddha Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 all goatrance style brings me good nostalgias its the feeling specially Quote
ritual om Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 it's the mysticism and the pure feeling that was overloaded in the melodic style and the real psychedelia in the psychedelic if you get me. BUT mainly it was the story...most tracks had something to say...something different...the diversity was there.(of course there were many crappy releases) goa brought a certain feeling and spirit with it's music productions under this style. this feeling is gone...

snowball Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 whats this shit with derango man? i havent even heard a single track from him,but i keep seeing his name popping up EVERYWHERE! whats the deal? Quote
reger Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 whats this shit with derango man? i havent even heard a single track from him,but i keep seeing his name popping up EVERYWHERE! whats the deal? 592465[/snapback] the thing is - you have to give it a listen, and then one more, and after that one more, untill you start to hear noises inside your head seriously, you could try derango - tumult, album edited Quote

long ripps Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 try derango for a change.... 592459[/snapback] yes , I know that music ... it's nice, but a bit offtopic, no? Quote
ritual om Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 yes , I know that music ... it's nice, but a bit offtopic, no? 592477[/snapback] i guess somebody would describe it as twisted,dark,demented sliide-ish style just with new approach,no? Quote

delars Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 i guess somebody would describe it as twisted,dark,demented sliide-ish style just with new approach,no? 592481[/snapback] jea, well somebody really wrong IMO slide puts a story in his tracks. i've listened their album, i heard them live at the boom. to me their performance was one hour of "wow, that's a really cool sound" or "hey, nice bassline". but i couldn't recognize one track from another. 1 hour non-stop intelligent blips and blops. but no story to it......... the only track i kind of like is secret surroundings, maybe it's because it isn't such a mess as everything else? if you want to compare derango with goatrance artists, i think that their music comes very close to what hallucinogen is/was doing. but please, no slide. derango has absolutely no funkyness, or structure. to me derango tracks are just a soup of weird sounds. a spicy soup allright. no dancing music. on-topic now another great example of slinky nasty tunes is quirk - dimension disco funky goa tunes for the win!

Maxx Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 its not supposed to be dark,its psychedelic shroomy forest trance. Quote
delars Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 did i say it was? all i'm telling is yes i like their sound, i like their twitches and whatever, but their have no story to it, it gets boring very easily IMO but hey, isn't there a 'official derango appreciation thread' for you guys? derango has absolutely nothing to do with pre 2000 music, even if some of you guys think it sounds like goatrance -and you might be right about that, but that's not what we're talking about here. no offence intented Quote
Maxx Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 I wasnt refering to anyone,i just said what i thought about the subject. Quote
