abasio Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 So, while in HMV I was browsing through the Psychedelic trance section. There were lots of familiar names that I'm sure we would all consider psy. Hallucinogen, Hujaboy, Raja Ram, Shpongle, Eat Static etc but among these were loads of CDs that could not, I mean they couldn't have been Psy Trance! Look at this picture to see what I mean. I mean, WTF? Eat Static's latest slap bang next to Donkey Trance? I've started feeling that the genre name is becoming misused as more & more psy trance isn't psychedelic anymore Any Thoughts?

Drosophila Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Hallucinogenic Donkeys? I wonder how donkey trance actually would sound like?!! Well the name psychedelic trance is being "watered out" (can u say that?) by labels like Chemical Crew and the likes anyway... sad but true! But that kind of genre mixing (as shown on the pic) is quite common is those "have it all" kinda shops... they seem to know jack-shit about the music they sell! I remember seeing it mixed, well, ever since I started listening to psy trance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzman Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Don't know havent heard it... But it shure looks really psychedelic with the pink hippo and the stars and everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormion Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 That Hippo is so cute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anakoluth Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 3/4 of so called psytrance ain't psychedelic...i got used to it. so, donkey trance ain't the only problem. somehow this looks more like a hippo to me, not like a donkey (the two before got it as such as well).

Darkarbiter Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Well fullon psy is more like psycho trance anyway... and not sure about history... but morning psy etc seems like it came from fullon (or fastish psy) at one point. So it's all very nice... but it's not psychedelic. I mean it's better then regular trance... but in the same way breakbeat is. I mean I know infected mushroom are the psytrance poster child... but really tbh their stuff sounds more Goa. Twisted certainly sounds like a very early form of psytrance though. TBH only truely psychedelic trance I've heard post 2002 is probably Electric Universe-Acidance and that album had retro vibes all over it anyway.

reger Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 hehe, i guess its how it sounds to him and not some new sub-genres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzman Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 wtf is psycho trance & fastish psy? Thats why i don't want to mess around with the styles... I'll keep it to progressive/psychedelic/dark/full on.... Thats all the direction i need to know... It's so difficult to genre the different bands caus they all have a different sound. Never heard of psycho trance or fastish trance though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reger Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 perhaps he meant fistish trance, fisting lover like charlie you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abasio Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 wtf is psycho trance & fastish psy? I guess psycho trance is like eurobeat in Japan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 http://www.discogs.com/release/176532 ? I think he means something like hard trance... but he's right that some of what is called psychedelic trance isn't very psychedelic (assuming that the word refers to a quality that promotes something like visual association).

Darkarbiter Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I meant psytrance that is in the 140+ BPM range but isn't full on. And I said psycho trance because that's the feeling a lot of fullon tries to provoke. I have no idea what that discogs release is btw and that isn't what I was refering to.
