I am wondering if you still listen to oldschool psychedelic and goa trance because in the music thread i am the only person who post oldschool tracks since quite a few months now, all listen to some music i never heard and never heard of so tlel me if you guys stil listen to oldschool psychedelic trance or if the spirit is gone a long time ago, if it is the last the forum should not have the name psynews.org anymore IMO.

The topic title should be "do you still listen to oldschool psychedelic trance?

correct :)!

yes, allthough this music was popular ten years ago, i still listen to it, wasnt there ten years ago tho, but i dont follow trends, i just listen to music that "makes your head spin" :) and thats certain goa/psy for me. but i do like todays psytrance aswell, its overproduced tho and lacks creativity and freshness, overall, compared to oldschool goa-psy of the mid 90s, but there are tracks that i listen to.

:unsure: this would make sense if this forum was called goanews.org.... Psy = Psychedelic!

Well I first heard psytrance in 2003, so I missed Goa when it happened. When I listen to old-school stuff now though it sounds good but kind of primitive, and doesn't stand up so well to repeat listens as a lot of modern stuff in my opinion. Though if anyone could recommend an old-school album that would change my mind about this I would be very grateful.

I was there back in the heydays. I started listening to goa in 96 and from 96-98 I saw live acts like Astral projection, MWNN, Orion (all three same act! and I was actually sitting on the stage 1-2m away from the artists), Koxbox, Green Nuns and so on.. So sad the style changed and the oldschool were gone...

Got those three. Perhaps I have misunderstood, but I wouldn't call Shpongle old-school Goa, great though they are (I prefer Tales of the Inexpressible myself). As for Hallucinogen, I think he's a great producer but that he can't write tunes as well as, say, IM used to before they went shit; I find his tracks start very well but don't hold my attention for the full seven minutes. Pavel, please don't kill me.

If you want more melodic get the two astral projection albums, this are more linear than hallucinogen and sound a bit more electronic, the same counts for the first two mfg albums, they are also very atmospheric like the hallucinogens albums but also very melodic, Indoor - Progressive trance is also a very good album which is more experiemntal but still very goa tranceish, it has a better production quality than many albums from that time so you might like it better than the others.

 

you say you don´t like oldschool so much, do you like full-on more, it is way more linear and very cheesy and destroys speakers and ears because of the awful mastering techniquies

Thanks for the recommendations, they are much appreciated.

 

To answer your question, no I am not a fullon fan, though there is some fullon I like. Most of the psy I buy these days is dark. I find the ear-fucking noises used in dark way more psychedelic than anything I hear in old-school; I think Kindzadza's "Waves from outer space" is the best example of what I like. I can appreciate why some people here don't like it though - it's pretty far away from what "trance" used to be about, although it has the "psy" down to a tee :D
