snowball Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 hey! was wondering if there were some artists-tracks-albums that released "beatless" trance...more like kickless. i mean normal goa (good trance aka) with all the characteristics of trance , but without the kick...kinda like the big breaks one can find in some goa tracks(ap used to do this a lot) in other words, melodic,powerful and not necessarily 60bpm trance but without the 4/4 kick.... i know its weird, i just wanna see if any such tracks exist!

Melancholyman Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I wouldn't think so but would be really interesting to hear such a track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malevol3nt Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 You know a great track that could of been beatless is Astral Projection - 12,000 Suns , however that one has a kick so it ain't. But I'm guessing this is the type of sound you are looking for. I'm not familiar with any music that features such melodies but without beats. Most of the beatless ambient out there is just dark and drone-like, without the melodies 'leading' anywhere.. I would appreciate some beatless trance tho.. If anyone knows of any please do tell.

Kryll Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Dr. Fernando - Caverna Magica tracks in specific: Elm Street and Tremola the track Caverna Magica itself is also beatless the first part (first 7 minutes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormion Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Downlo... I mean I'm checkin it out right now. Edit: Oh stupid me I allready had that track. That has a beat btw.

RAH Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Dunno if Humate counts as 'powerful Goa' but it's certainly melodic and break-ish... Check "3.1 Bedrock Ambient Mix", it's old as hell, but really good. If you are just looking for something interesting without a beat, find "Subsonic Park", AFAIK "Inner City Codes" is the only album thing out there. Dubby, IDM-ish, trancey type of stuff, top notch.

snowball Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 ok guys thanks 4 the recs ill check them out when i get some time... to make it easier 4 ppl that dont really understand what i mean....imagine the breaks in the old goa-psy trax...when the kick disappears and theres only the synths and fx (percussion as well, no prb) . are there any tracks that are entirely like that? hope i made clear what i mean!

Kryll Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 the ones i mentioned are totally percussion-free one with only some percussion, no kicks: Earth Nation - Transfiguration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowball Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 the ones i mentioned are totally percussion-free one with only some percussion, no kicks: Earth Nation - Transfiguration i havent checked that one out but am not looking for beatless ambient(if it is ambient)...i have tonns of that (steve roach- vidna obmana etc)..i even make beatless ambient when i get some time off... what am looking would be considered completely experimental....a normal track full of synts, spirals, fx etc but without the 4-4 kick...i just wanna see what that would be like...cz sometimes a 10sec break is better than the whole track...i remember darshan- tranceformation with the EPIC break killing me...but ap's breaks are more like what am looking for... i dont have the track names infront of me right now, ill write them down 2morrow and post them so ppl have some material to work on. but i will check out the links u gave me. am always happy to discover some new soundz :clapping: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryll Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 i havent checked that one out but am not looking for beatless ambient(if it is ambient) the line in between is thin, and vague (when searching for beatless trance) but compared to steve roach or vidna obmana, it's definately trance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Maybe this track that somebody posted here some time ago: VNV Nation - Forsaken Or the totally awesome Paul Ellis - Shining. This is closer to 'beatless trance' than to 'beatless ambient'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodhi2424 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 2020 and theres still only random tracks available. I know exactly what you mean by beatless trance, or even beatless house. Just the layering of pads and synth melodies without sounding too industrial or machine like and no beat! Almost psychadelic. Carbon based lifeforms is the closest artist ive found but even then only a few tracks. Ive recently found an album by shylo love called ancient solfeggio healing - that is close. And a track by j.s epperson called 'embrace' that im liking. Any luck for you? Id luv to find more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsotsi Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Oh well I've got something for you you damn suckers, https://jamesonnathanjones.bandcamp.com/album/signals https://open.spotify.com/album/3dDB5GOvwpgqOU5YpDGGyN Haven't listened to the entire piece, a friend just put me onto it now, but some or atleast all so far seem like they may satisfy a beatless craving. It's still slow and dreamy, but there are moments that go by with basslines and leads, instruments layering and all while carrying an overall trancey atmosphere, like it could break any moment but it doesn't (So far). I'm on shuffle with 12 second crossover on spotify and it's pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Love beatless tracks. My favorites so far are: Barker, with his Utility track. His Utility album is stunning. Almost anything in the Lorenzo Senni, f.ex. Move in Silcence. His albums since 2014 Superimpositions explore beatless style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abasio Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Flying Rhino Freestyle - Wabi This is almost completely beatless and psychedelic. Very very nice. A personal favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
