Full On/Psytrance.What´s the difference?


Guest

Recommended Posts

Listen to [Toï doï] "technological" album, [Psydrop] last album, some [Deeper in zen] tracks, this is what i call full on.

Listen to [Planet BEN] "Welcome to the future", [X-dream] "irritant" + [Ticon], [son kite], this is minimal.

Both are psytrance for me, Astral projection, Man with no name, Miranda, Etnica are more goa trance than psytrance, but Pleiadians is melodic full on... that's my opinion...

like said by others, full-on used to be the term to describe psy-trance in general, and then minimal came and full-on was used for psy-trance that wasn't minimal.

 

nowadays it seems that full-on is the term used for music with high BPM hard beats and stuff, like that (gms and such) and full-on has become the name of a subgenre.

 

i dont follow the trends anymore and listen only to oldschool or finnish australian trance or other genres so my comments might be completly untrue.....................

Yeah, I thought it was weird when the term "full-on" became an actual sub-genre, when years ago it was used to describe the intensity of a track. These days full-on seems to describe filled-out minimal music (the response to all the bitching about minimal when it was really popular) with a big, fast beat and loads of sound effects rather than melodies.

WHAT i'd say is that psytrance is a genre of trance that mix the eletronic beats from trance with the psychedelic tunes and effects... full on is a sub genre of psytrance trax with high bpm 143+ with pumping basslines twisted samples and very very weird effects... just like darkpsy, like darksoho, darknebula, xenomorph and whatever, is full of scary spooky evil sounds that freak you out... each style in psytrance has its own details...

but what i really think about all this is that all u dumb fucks should stop complaining about psytrance and its tendencies... if u dont like where it is going to start doing your on fucking music and stop talking shit in the forums... if u like old music open a fucking museum and keep on hearing your old school fucked up tunes and sounds... everything in life develops to something grater it only depends on you... since trance depends on the minds of shit heads just like y'all complainers we are fucked... and thats also what's been going on for too long and is starting do cause de scene decay... u keep on complaining about all this crap and keep on not doing shit and i just dont need to tell y'all where this all is gonna stop..

peace!

try enjoying life and the good music we have... soon enough we are not gonna have more parties and this good trance to hear thankfully to all this crap and all the dumb fucks in this scene... and for all the people like this lick my nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every person has his/her own opinion about everything,

even music. now when we slowly crawl towards year 3000

more genres is born and new artists releases new styles

of genres that change faster and faster for every year that

goes by. But in basic, its all Psytrance.

 

__[ My own view of psytrance and my own opinion about some genres and styles within psytrance ]__

 

__[ Full-on ]__

is a new born style combined some

fast goa tempo with a more aggressive base and

more trippy sounds to give the sound more atmosphere.

not much melodies but freaky sounds and great beat.

Artists like: Psyside, Space buddah, Talamasca, Fungus Funk, Exaile, Neuromotor

 

__[ Progressive ]__

The stomp in this kind of style is often a bit slower than normal

and everything is saved for the last 2 mins in the song.

They intend to play longer with a sound than in analoge psy

and dont have as much events either.

Artists like: Son kite, Ticon, Bitmonx, Metalogic, Tegma

 

__[ Fast Progressive ]__

This own defined style of decent combined techno and progressive

is faster than progg but not as monotone as techno.

Often quite "dirty" sound and industrual atmospheres.

Artists like: Source Unknown, Authentic, The Delta

 

__[ Analoge Psy ]__

This is a own define for a style of psytrance

that is widely spread and one of the most popular

sound to new "regular" psytrance artists.

Artists like: Fractal Glider, Gms, Fatali, Alien project, Logic Bomb

 

__[ Dark psy ]__

This is also own define for a style of the more dark psy

that is coming more and more, this is also one of my favorite

kind of psy. The atmosphere is dark and meant to be evil,

if not dark evil and twisted and exelent for tripping =)

Artiste like: Midi miliz,The Delta, Opsis, Menog, Pps Project, Neser D.N.A, Quirk, Spriallianz

 

__[ Trippy Psy ]__

well this kinda defines itself this is real twisted shit

and only the most trained ear can make this noize into music.

Artists like: Texas Faggot, Pelin Pala, Quirk

 

Ofcourse there are alot more to listen to, theese are just examples of

how i see on psy as a huge genre. nothing can really be put into categories

as the next artist will base his music on atleast 2 other inspiration sources.

and then a new style is born. please do not respond that im in anyway are wrong. before you think that i am, tell me who made you lord of genres to decide wich is wich. there is no real good way to say what is psy

but one way is the atmosphere it has and the life it has hidden underneath.

psytrance is not shallow like radio trance, its not pop like club and house.

 

its alot more.

You can decide that for yourself.

 

AN example of full on and minmial albums are:

 

GMS VS. Systembusters(FULL ON 145-150 bpm's)

Cosma - Simplicty(minimal 130-139 bpm's)

 

Now you listen and be the judge
