Ormion Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Another thread cause I can do it! Which country had/has the best artists in your opinion? I activated multiple choice, but IMO it's better if we vote only for the best 3 countries. Otherwise most of us we could just vote for all of them, right? I included countries with many artists and history. For example I didn't include Spain cause in my knowledge doesn't have any huge famous artists. If you want an other option vote for the 'other'. My votes: 1-Israel. IMO the best country in Goa/Psy history. 2-France, the second best country in Goa history. 3-South Africa, the best artists in the post 2000 era.

Ormion Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 IMO Greece never had any big name back in the Goa days and only the last 5 years became more active in various genres. I might be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest D N H Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 IMO Greece never had any big name back in the Goa days and only the last 5 years became more active in various genres. I might be wrong. Imo.. Wizzy Noize was a big name, Cyan and lesser Psycho Meditation, were great names. Furthermore, Hellas had a strong scene. No, i will not vote. For me Goa/Psy is a universal phenomenon. It is something like a solar religion, like the Sun Cult. Those who are capable, partake or create. Those who create, are judged; remembered or ignored.

CoLoUr DoTZ Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 To party South Africa. They really are wonkers. Music related Uk, Germany and Sweden would be even in my book. But I voted for Germany because of X-Dream. Israel used to be top on the list, but it has grown very very cheesy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same with Italy. It had Etnica and Lotus Omega, but not much more. Of course I included Italy because Etnica is a reason strong enough to vote for it. I respect your opinion for not to vote, but it's just a fun poll, nothing more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prog4all Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I think Greece, Switzerland and Serbia should be in the poll as well, but the most notable countries are in it. For me, it is: 1. Israel (Ace Ventura, Ritmo, Lish, Osher, Vertical Mode, Mindwave) 2. Serbia (E-Clip, Zyce, Lyctum, Sideform, Flegma & Nerso, Relativ) 3. Switzerland (Motion Drive, Liquid Soul, Midimal, Human Element) Also Germany has some good artist as well: (Protonica, Day Din, Symphonix, NOK). You are right for not mentioning my country, as we don't have a lot of producers. But some good ones are Zen Mechanics, Liftshift. Also England, Belgium and Sotuh Africa are big in full on music.

Dolmot Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (Disclaimer: all trends described here obviously apply only to a fraction of all stuff produced in each country. There are always huge deviations and of course boatloads of uninteresting or generic me-too music produced everywhere. Nevertheless, that interesting, characterful fraction is all we can use to answer a question like this in the first place.) 1. UK: The most advanced, cosmic and mind-boggling synth mayhem of the classic era (Dimension 5, Cosmosis, all things Posfordian, Technossomy, Doof, a lot of other TIP, Twisted, Dragonfly, Flying Rhino, Transient, Symbiosis and so on. You get the idea. No contest here.) 2. Germany: Some melodic goa acts, but especially groovy stuff leaning toward techno, progressive, house and acid with psy elements still firmly in place. They managed to produce interesting grooves in the 2000-ish period when British producers tended to go ultra-dry or quit altogether. (Planet B.E.N, Blenn everything, Biot, High Society, Spirit Zone, Plusquam, Midijum, Free Form... and especially numerous genre-defining DJs like Antaro) 3. France: Plenty of curious and surprising stuff originated from here. There were mystical and ethnic sounds, relentless screaming synth tracks and maybe thinner, quite fast and high frequency oriented production as a broad trend. (Asia 2001, Joking Sphinx, Toï Doï, Underhead, Distance, POF) Israel undoubtedly produces a lot and has an iconic position, but to me too much of it is simplified anthem trance. I guess it works on clubs and in beach parties. However, my consumption is 99% home listening so I don't feel like throwing my hands in the air. AP and Avi were cool, though. Sweden deserves a honourable mention, although its greatest stars are essentially techno, house, downtempo and ambient. You can call it "progressive" but it's still house, not psy. Filteria does not count. Japan, Finland and Australia surely manage to surprise, but often the product is completely random, which doesn't automatically make it brilliant. I just don't feel like listening to it and that's all. Benza and Fractal Glider were entertaining while everything else was full-on and hence pointless. North America is largely a black hole regarding psy music if you consider its size. I really don't know why. Maybe they have so much good house and legendary hip-hop that nothing over 130 BPM makes it. Well, Detroit techno fills that void... Italy is a complete oddball case which gave us Etnica and little else (that I manage to recall, at least). New school producers are scattered all around with some bias towards Eastern Europe. I cannot name any single country for that. Q&A: Q: How can you ignore/forget X?! A: Easily. Either intentionally or accidentally. Q: Y does not apply to X! A: See the disclaimer.

Procyon Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I am a 1990-er, so UK (the creator), Israel (best influence) and Japan (best scene) makes sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veracohr Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Israel for quality, largely from AP. UK for quantity of good stuff. France as a runner-up. I'm not always completely aware of where artists are from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronSun Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Oh man that depends so much on the year/era of goa/psy... For classical Goa: 1. UK 2. Israel 3. France DENMARK with a special mention to Japan for being so whacky. EDIT: OW FUCK I FORGOT DENMARK. Ah man, making a top 3 is just impossible... I hereby officially declare that my list is bogus and not to be taken seriously as it can change according to mood/day of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neurogen Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 still people are totally ignoring Vibrasphere, Miranda, Subcouds, Hux Flux and Human Blue, Atmos and more. *CRY* i should really stay away from list threads - . - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travbrad1001 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Overall I'd have to say UK, Finland, France, and Sweden. Israel has obviously been hugely influential in the scene, but there is very little Israeli psy that I actually enjoy. It just doesn't feel as otherworldly/experimental as I'd like. A lot of my favorite psy artists are from countries other than those that are often associated with psy/goa though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neurogen Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 F#ck!!! I forgot Sirius!! (i knew i forgot something) Emergency EDIT ! Standby !! (I hope this doesn't cause a diplomatrix crisis) just got a call from earths ambassador in the GFOL and he was not happy. Although i think they will work it out with the Sirians. They are known to be diplomatic and since it was an honest mistake I dont think it will cause an uproar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InFecTeD_gOa Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 It's hard to choose because there are interesting artists everywhere. IMO 1-But I think FRANCE has good artists, prestigious albums and excellent scenes. Total Eclipse - Transwave - Blue Planet Corporation - Asia 2001 - Asura - Talamasca - Aes Dana - Amanite FX - Jaia - Deedrah - Toi Doi - Khetzal - Crossing Mind - Merrow - Ajna... 2-ISRAEL an obvious choice for its many artists, its sound quality (before 2000 because I'm now a little disappointed by the lack of magic) and its fabulous scenes. MFG - Infected Mushroom - Astral Projection - California Sunshine - Indoor - Mystica - Oforia - Power Source - Shidapu - Trivia... 3-The third nation that I consider important is UK. Chi ad - Green Nuns Of The Revolution - Doof - Cosmosis - Hallucinogen - Man With No Name - Moonweed - ManMadeMan - Promotheus - O.O.O.D. - Zodiac Youth - Shakta - Technossomy...
