Ormion Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Don't worry it's not another 'your fav track ever' topic. It's a topic about which track defines the Psytrance music the most. What I mean: If someone ask you: ''what kind of music do you listen?'' and want for you with ONLY ONE track to describe the whole Psytrance music then which track would be? Here's my thinking: It must be a track that is both Old School (Goa sound) but also has a modern touch. It must be a track that is both Morning and Dark if possible. It must be a track that is both for the mind (tripping) and body (dancing). It must be a track that is psyshedelic in both melodic mayhem (Goa style) and FX mayhem (new style). It must be a track with a big intro, climaxes, start-stops, classic samples and big outro. (classic Psy signatures). And this track is... CHRISTOF DROUILLET & DJ MAEL-KLM Your selection? edit: Don't forget! It's not about a track you like! It can also be a track that you dislike! Quote

saturn Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 also Infected - Mush Mushi is in my mind... I thought of that one as well. Quote
Ormion Posted November 5, 2007 Author Posted November 5, 2007 Mush Mushi indeed. Nice choice Anoebis! Quote
Prio Alea Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 My choice: Eat Static - Bony Incus (MWNN Remix) One of my all time favorites and I think it fits like a glove to the description. So awesome, so psy, yet different. Quote
Guest E-Mantra Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 MFG-Inspiration and i think some songs from Nissimyani - Why To Be Normal Quote

Guest antic Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Whole "Synergy" album by Cosmosis! It has got all the traits I think are important for psychedelic trance - complex, melodic, acidic, with great (for that time) production and outstanding (even now!) programming and arrangement. The music is floating, yet not dreamy or cheesy. Hard, but not harsh nor aggressive. For the dancefloor, but still intelligent. Complex, but not overdone, etc... And above it all - it is MUSIC, not TRACKS. Nowadays, most releases are forgettable, few-days lived dancefloor fodder. Synergy on the other hand is psychedelic rock produced in a techno / trance way. More or less the same can be said about Hallucinogen's "The Lone Deranger" Quote
Lu Bu Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Hallucinogen - LSD. i completely agree pavel on a personal note i would say nilaya.. i will never forget the first time i heard that trck and it stays fresh as ever Quote
Ormion Posted November 5, 2007 Author Posted November 5, 2007 Hallucinogen-LSD and MFG-Inspiration are classic tracks but they define the old school Psy and not the whole scene, both old and new IMO. Surely LSD sounds modern even today but they aren't anything similar tracks today so it just leaves the new scene out. Like I said it doesn't have to be a track you really like. Quote
GaySatanicHippie Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 As much as I am not a fan of Posfords stuff, it has to be LSD. That is the quintessential track of our scene, the granddaddy of them all. For my personal musical development there were two really, really important tracks.The first was Union Jack Red Herring, and then 5 years later Atmos - Klein aber Doctor. Quote
NEMO.BOFH Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Etnica - Starship 101+1 you beat me to it. that or Full On. Quote
Basilisk Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 LSD, clearly. This isn't much of a contest. Quote
sammyhkhan Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Etnica - Starship 101 Hallucinogen - LSD. +1 Quote
Otto Matta Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 LSD and Starship 101 are a bit old-fashioned to fulfill Ormion's guidelines, aren't they? I mean, both are big tracks in their own rights, but as far as modern production is concerned, I don't think they quite hold up. I won't go into detail. My personal instinct leans more towards something like Astral Projection's Trance Dance or Mahadeva '99. And then maybe something like X-Dream's Psychomachine or Juno Reactor's God is God. These tracks (none of which are big favorites of mine) took the spirit of Goa and made it "Psychedelic," as in "neo-Goa for the next wave." I guess it's ultimately subjective, but that's my input. e: Oh, and yeah, IM and Logic Bomb definitely qualify, I think. Quote
cubicidal Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Hallucinogen - LSD without a moment's hesitation. Quote
santo Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Since LSD is already mentioned many times, I would vote for Kabalah by AP. Quote
