ollylovesgoa Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I hope this thread takes off Pretty self-explanatory: My first one is Hunab Ku. The album Magick Universe isn't talked about nearly enough, it is absolutely beautiful, definetly up there with Trust in Trance, Alien Protein etc, (I wont go so far as to equal it with I.F.O, but there you go). It sounds a bit old but I think that's what he was going for, truly keeping the oldschool spirit alive with his tremendous ability with melodies. Secondly, Masaray. This is really old stuff but just great. Time Traveller of Trance as well as Cosmic Trancer are my favourites. Really dramatic, indian influenced, primtive but intelligent Goa trance. If you haven't heard it, get on it! And lastly a lesser known group called Gangnia. "It Came From the 4th Dimension" is a gem that blew me away when I heard it. Very acidic, very eery, pounding, pumping and surprising Old School. Listening to the album all the way through is an experience, and i don't think enough people did that but only heard songs on compilations, so Gangnia didn't get the recognition they deserve. Right, give me yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathmandu Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I would say SubConsciousMind till last two years. But then after playing Live at chai stall in Ozora2008 got so liked that the next year's ozOra, now is playing the mainstage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamWalker Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I agree with Hunab Ku. Magik Universe is probably my favorite goa album. I don't own the actual CD though because it's so rare and expensive. It's my holy grail I suppose. Though since it's made by the Dimension 5 boys, at least their talent isn't unheard of, just that particular album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyTheSquid Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 The psytech/trance style as a whole is criminally underappreciated. The artists I've listed below have gone over really really well on psy-dancefloors while I was DJing, but even many fans of the style don't know who they are! Trippy dub/hard minimal techno: --- sgnl_fltr (AKA periskop, AKA Danny Kreutzfeldt, AKA Sectorchestra; many releases freely downloadable on Stadtgruenlabel.com and Periskop.cc) Minimal psy/tech: --- Anakoluth (minimal goa/psy/tech, 2 EPs freely downloadable @ ektoplazm.com) Cisco Arias ('Tetrakys' EPs freely downloadable @ ektoplazm.com) Brian Burger (free EP @ ektoplazm.com) Dan Rotor (free EP @ ektoplazm.com) Fuzzion Max Pollyul (free EP @ ektoplazm.com) Trevor MacGregor (AKA the well-appreciated Kalumet) Tech/trance: --- Axiomata Nuclear Ramjet (Liquified EP freely downloadable @ ektoplazm.com) Platform Tetraktys (some free releases @ ektoplazm.com) Harder psy/tech: --- Authentik (AKA Three Point Turn) Boo-Reka (AKA Hujaboy) Manibus PPS Project Source Unknown Opsis Three Point Turn (AKA Authentik) Trimada Tripiatrik (AKA/in Face, Snug as a Bug, Paps, Yumade) Triplex If you like psytechno, minimal techno, tech house, psy house or tech trance, any of these will probably make you very happy.

Procyon Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I don't think there are underrated artists in the psy scene. It's just that this scene is small, really small, and there are so many artists - due to the fact that writing a track and releasing it is way too easy. Take me as an example: I don't know, aside you guys over the internet, a single guy who listen to psy more frequently than to, say, AC/DC. It may seem that the scene is big, because we talk so much about psy in the cyber world. But, let's check. I don't think that Psynews has more than 80 really active members, Isratrance must have 100 or so. I am a member of the biggest forum in my country, with organizer, artists, deco crews, labels all there - there must be 30 people who really take part in the scene. You may argue that festivals like BOOM and Ozora attract tens of thousands of people. Again, let's be realistic: of these tens of thousands, most are "parachuters" - people who enjoy psy, but also hip-hop, rock, pop, etc. Also, add to this formula, the average mediocrity of men: good stuff doesn't please the crowds. Britney, Rihanna, are here to prove that true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ion1zed Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 @Procyon I like Rihanna. Her voice is somehow special. Not Britney, though. @topic I always get the feeling that Wildthings Records' producers don't get the props they deserve. E.V.P, RealityGrid, Archaic, Error Corrective...Free-Quency Modulator by Archaic is just soooo good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotwang Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I like Rihanna. Her voice is somehow special. Yes, if by "somehow" you mean "with copious help from technology" (the end result sounds quite bad to me, but each to their own). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ion1zed Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Maybe I don't have enough knowledge to judge whether her voice is enhanced/changed by technical modifications, but yeah, I like it.

ollylovesgoa Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 I'm gonna add Terrafractyl to this, one of about twenty or so artists currently making music that has a full on bassline yet still succeeds in producing truly psychedelic trance. He's some sort of wizard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drosophila Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 MakadaM, Krussedull and Trold of the "old-timers" I would say (on top of my head): Squaremeat, Lotus Omega (not thinking of their Crop Circle involvement) and Syb Unity Nettwerk.

Britney, Rihanna, are here to prove that true. You could not be more wrong The scene is huge and you can not rule out people just because they also listen to rock and pop etc.. They still count and the whole vision and "ideology" of this scene - the way it was intended - was to welcome all people no matter race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, music taste etc. The point is that a person is not less "psy" because he or she also have a life apart from the psytrance scene. Do not mistake some underground online forums with the scene in the world. 0.0001% of the scene visit these forums. Even back in the beginning of the 90's I played to 15-20.000 people. And this was way before the scene had Festivals. Today you have huge Festivals all summer year round worldwide and on top of this you got a huge amount of parties locally in each country. The scene has expanded drastically since it's birth in the early 90's. You got way more countries into psytrance today than ever before.

TBH, listening only to psy/goa would drive me up the wall. Open-mindedness is one of the reasons why I like(d) going to psy-parties. And if a party is good, there's nothing quite like it. I'll bet a lot of people enjoy listening to other genres AND psy/goa. Limiting the scene to the few people who visit psy-fora on the net wouldn't do it just.

Ormion Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Syb Unity Nettwerk. Way ahead of his time. I will add Slide as well. I know he's well known, but IMO doesn't get much credit. He has made some of the best tracks ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
