Lauryn Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 OK. So as far as I know, neurotrance, or simply what has started to be known as 'Neuro' was a term coined by a few friends of mine who are living down in Asheville, NC who were in search of another means of describing the music they are into...i.e. 'darkpsy', or in New York "psy-stomp" or what our friends on the west coast of the US had started calling "Trauma Trance". (See below) "The second release from San Francisco label Mistress of Evil Records, ... ... seeks to define the concept of Trauma Trance: Music that was meant to shake you up mentally, to stir up your emotions and push you forward to new perceptions and ways of thinking. Trauma Trance is not about dark vs. light, negative vs. positive, or any other dichotomy. It is music that tests the limits of your mind and makes you question your own sanity (and the sanity of the artists!). Step aside from the traditionally negative connotation of the word trauma and allow the music to alter your consciousness" Neuro came about as a means of describing this same music without the negative connotations of the word "trauma". So Neuro, as in neurological as in music that affects your nervous system and your mind....music that makes you think... I'm pretty sure this is a term I haven't heard used outside of the US, and the 'Neuro' subgenre of psytrance seems to be most popular in the southeast part of the country....you don't really hear the term Neuro here in new york for example... Hope that explanation helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alleycat Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 It appears to be another name for certain kinds of 'dark'psy. To me, it brings to mind stuff like Parasense's older stuff, Gorump Peyya, stuff that's not 'dark' per se, but definitely full power getting into the brain stuff. I don't really know though... Someone on Isra gave an explanation but I can't find it... Seems like just another name for the same stuff. Also, there was a Deja Vu release, I'm A Program, that said on the cd: "Neurotrance-expanding your mind" and there was something like that on the DV site a while back... And, Ive never heard anyone call it Neuro or Trauma out here. Just another name, just another box to put it in. I just play the music.

Ahhh well I'm not the one who coined the term, but its funny I was talking to my friend from Asheville about this same exact thing the other week....and next time I speak to her, I'll ask her to clarify for me...maybe I'm not properly explaining the music they've labeled 'neuro' and why... perhaps think also like, neuro as in neurotic, neurosis.....i.e. scattered, indecision...music that makes you feel crazy...joe's description of "full power getting into the brain stuff." works for me....its the darker stuff thats not really melodic at all and sometimes sounds like it has no specific direction....

KozmikTentacles Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 the same goes for psy trance though. it's in the mind of the beholder what is psychedelic, not an objective matter. so, what you have a neurotic breakdown to, and what I a neurotic breakdown to could be very different music... personally I think really fast violin players can be fucking mind blowing :drama: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amphiton Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 For the first time I heard this term in 2005 when a one dude was describing CPC's first album I also think neuro trance fits better for this sub-genre than dark psy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exotic Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Neuro trance is what gets inside your brain .. pounding every little membrane in your head. :clapping: that trauma trance cd lauryn mentioned does exactly that to me. i only put it once a month .. dont have the courage to play it more frequently. come to think of it , psykovsky is neuro core trance :drama: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amphiton Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I find psytrance psychedelic (I put my own meaning into this term) and I find neuro trance neurodelic or whatevargh. Making names stupid, people say. Saying making names is stupid, is even more stupid, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaZeD Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Dejavu Records labeled their compilation "I'm A Program" neurotrance, inside the cd box there's printed "neurotrance".... Dunno if this means anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
