Elysium Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 This is not psytrance but a mix down the memory lane back to where it all started for me personally and for synthesizer music in general.

BPM: 132 Run time: 1:01:16 Ultravox - Mr X Japan - Quiet Life New Order - Sub-Culture Gary Numan - Cars Ultravox - New Europeans Visage - Pleasure Boys Depeche Mode - Photographic Human League - The Things That Dreams Are Made Of Simple Minds - New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84) Ultravox - White China (Special Mix) Depeche Mode - Boys Say Go! Talk Talk - Talk Talk (Extended Mix) Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams Depeche Mode - Nodisco http-~~-//soundcloud.com/the-new-wave/the-new-wave-mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visine Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Wow, you're brave to post such mix amongst a sea of people that were little babys or weren't even born when these came out Don't you know they prefer hypermelodic "new school Filteria style" Goa, Incoherent/random Darkpsy and Full On Killarghs ? Anyways, agreee with some of the choices. Too bad you missed these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, agreee with some of the choices. Too bad you missed these He he yeah!!! Shame on me I have a huge library of all the old tunes. But I wanted the mix to be harmonic mixed and the tunes I picked work well together harmonically Maybe I'll make another mix with "Fade To Grey". One of my all time favorites (I even made a remix of it he he). Also there is an issue with BPM as these old tunes are all over the BPM spectra going from 100 BPM to 155 BPM. So the tunes has to be carefully selected too regarding BPM. Not an easy task to mix these old tunes (They are also not always steady in the beat making it hard to beat-mix).

Basilisk Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Listening now... I am too young to have lived through those days but I figure this is what I would have been listening to at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elysium Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Listening now... I am too young to have lived through those days but I figure this is what I would have been listening to at the time It's actually funny that New Wave music once was looked at as "rebellious" music. At the time it was Disco or Punk and we (New Wave and New Romantics) arrived with new synthetic music and men and women using the same make-up (I do not recall how many times I was called a faggot on the street by normal looking men when all dressed up. But I was the one that laughed last as I scored quite a few girls dressed up like that ha ha), styled our hair differently, had different clothes and danced strange (the way we danced was a cult itself ha ha). and the music was new and very much underground in the beginning (as any music tend to be at first). And today New Wave and Synth-pop is as commercial as it gets with a huge following and revival these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
