Goa Bill Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 After i was exposed by some excellent IDM and Ambient by the likes ISAN, Trentemoller, Pete Namlook, Ulrich Schnauss and some more i have reached the conclusion that the current Chill releases from Psy labels are nothing but shite. And that excludes the likes of Twisted, Aleph Zero and Interchill that still have some sort of a quality control over their releases. I know i am being too negative and all, but please, stop releasing psy trance with half the speed. It takes more than that. Quote
Otto Matta Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 I tend to agree. There are some exceptions, or course - a track here and there - but yeah, it all starts to blend together after a while. Quote
Veracohr Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 While I admittedly don't know anything about psy labels, I can't imagine any of them are so big they would have the ability to dictate what their artists' music sounds like. I'd be suprised if any electronic labels could do that, let alone labels that cater to an obscure subgenre like psytrance. Quote
Time_Trap Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 With psychill you mean chill using a psytrance-like sounds? Then I mostly agree with you, except from a few projects , such as Galaxy.... Â But you should exclude Ultimae Records ... Quote

And that sound is, well, boring, especially in comparison to a lot of the other genres that are doing something similarly, yet more dynamically. Quote
DETOX Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Please dont ever mention Namlook and Schnauss again on this forum. Â We are simply not worthy to speak about them. Â Lets open a couple more Skazi threads to have something to speak about. Quote

Check Shift and Paranormal Attack before Chemical Crew and after. Â Â With psychill you mean chill using a psytrance-like sounds?

I was referring to labels that release Psy Trance and Chill-Out albums/compilations with tracks by Psy Trance artists. Â Please dont ever mention Namlook and Schnauss again on this forum. Â We are simply not worthy to speak about them. Â Lets open a couple more Skazi threads to have something to speak about. 628816[/snapback] Yea for a minute there i forgot that it's PSYnews. And since only Psy Trance is Psychedelic we shouldn't discuss Namlook here Quote

Goa Bill Posted October 28, 2006 Author Posted October 28, 2006 http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=41455 628822[/snapback] Ultimae is not a Psy Trance label. Beh. I am not that fond of yawnbient. It's cool, but i can't hear it more than 10 minutes before i lose patience. Quote
Time_Trap Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Another exception is : ELECTRYPNOSE - SUBLIMINAL MELANCHOLIES although released on psy label far, far away from 'psychill' , more like chill/ambient with IDM influences Quote

It takes more than that. 628800[/snapback] Since psytrance suck it's no wonder that "psy trance with half the speed" also sucks. Â Any way, I can only agree. I strongly dislike the ethnic new age crap that is labeled as psy chill these days. Â Native State Records is one of the most interesting labels right now, try them. A lot more interesting then Interchill and Aleph Zero. Quote

I think im losing my taste in this whole downtempo/psy chill shite! Quote

traveller Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/sfb/sfb1cd002.html  best chill of the year.. IMO Quote
Otto Matta Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 There is an occaision for all types of chill 628873[/snapback] True. Although some occasions are shorter than others. Quote
Puck Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 "psy chill sucks" Â it sure does...the term yawnbient is excellent for describing 90% of those releases... Quote

Bahamut Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Some of that stuff is like.. all sounds, no music. It might be good technically, but the music itself often sounds superficial and overdone to my ears... though I'm sure there are exceptions  Take the almighty Global Communication - 76:14 from 1994... and tell me if anything from the chilled-downtempo-trance-psybient style could beat that. Quote
NEMO.BOFH Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 True. Although some occasions are shorter than others. 628907[/snapback] i love to fall asleep to Dreamfish for instance, it really gives me a nice feeling, and I have awsome dreams on it Quote
