Psychedelic/Twisted Progressive Trance?

Recommended Posts

I've been discovering some good progressive trance these days - I've loved Atmos "Headcleaner", Beat Bizarre, and Reefer decree for a long time, and am now very happy to have found the first two albums by Phony Orphants - "Symphony" in particular is fantastic!

 

Can anyone recommend progressive trance that is more on the twisted/uber-psychedelic side? Much of the progressive I hear, like Antix and so forth - they use very "square" sounds - not the Hallucinogen/Hux Flux/Koxbox type of sounds.. I have a couple albums by Sensient but Sensient is more like minimal psytrance type music - it doesn't have that same hypontic groove that the best progressive does so well..

 

In other words, alot of the progresisve I hear has a more "mainstream" or "clubby" sound to it - I want some stuff that isn't like that

Oh yes - that one sounds very interesting indeed!

 

It has a bit of the "DarkPsy" vibe to it which I don't care for, but it's mostly prog/techno-esque which I do like (I love dark and twisted music, just not the darkpsy genre itself).

 

I'm probably going to order this album - thanks for the recommendation!

Heh, that's probably why it sounds so much more interesting to me than most prog.

he he the "Hypogeo" Album was the first i thought of to,specialy "the Lamb of dog" track really hit the spot for me.Sensient made tracks that are like that i think,u should listen to tracks like "jugdment day"

and "The Deepness".and if you dont know him already, try check out "Reactant" .this guy have in record time become my favorit artist (in this style of trance),his upcoming album sounds much in the minimalistic tech-trance really,but there is a few totaly awesome tracks on there that i am very excited about to hear when its released.http://soundcloud.com/reactant try listen about 2:58 to about 5:10 lol this is what i like haha its so cool man. :lol: .many of his best tracks are ready to download for free on Ektoplazm :wub: .here is alittle list of other Artist u may like to.

Hey man, I don't know if this is what you mean but you might like it. I really enjoy Lyctum, this artist has a very psychedelic type of touch to his music. It's progressive but kind of on the darker side. It's everything but clubby! If you like it, check out the album: Lyctum - Tales Of The Universe.

I am also a big fan of Relativ, also from Serbia. He kind of maintains that original Goa feeling in to his music but produces progressive killers!

This one from Zen-Mechanics and M-Theory is full-on but it's very unique and might be what your looking for.

The things that come to my mind are:

Tetrameth (a bit dark and a bit funky, sometimes minimalistic)

Onionbrain (darker and twisted)

S-Range (not really twisted, but with a nice distinctive sound)

Etnoscope (more tribal influenced)

Necton (2001 style, harder, more minimalistic)

Protonica or E-Clip (both not too far from "standard" progressive sound, but psychedelic and damn good)

Will get to the others in a bit here - checked out "Reactant" though - interesting stuff - I like it overall - reminds me a good bit of Sensient from "Antifluoro" album.. I don't like his vocal samples too much though..

+1 to Das signal

 

Im really into Flegma , Nerso, E-clip, Zyce ,, the tesseract studio gusy are churning up some really nice tunes. dunno if it 'strictly' qualifies as psyprog though. hard hitting groovy music for sure.

Perfect Stranger - Changed. It's a remix album with some great artists contributing. The whole thing has a dark, melancholy almost ominous vibe to it. It is one of my all time favorite albums. Spectacular!!
