Paul Eye Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Haha, I knew I didn't miss anything important (I was actually in Tampere almost this entire week The door price for the tickets was...uh, astounding... Quote
Penzoline Posted May 24, 2015 Author Posted May 24, 2015 They did offer first 50 at door for 20€ apparently. Still the party felt cheaper than the price of the tickets for sure. I think I shouldn't have expected more. There was little to no melodies and climaxes. Just boom boom boom. I'm really surprised how popular GMS is. I really want to see a melodic full-on party next time. They had one in Turku but I couldn't go. Quote
Multi-Media Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Dubstep & remixes of "Mainstream" ? More details of these ? Quote
Anoebis Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Oh my, that music is really bad and commercial... And the crowd goes WILD 1 Quote
Multi-Media Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Well that Nirvana part was painful.... urg and some others too. Surprised this GMS guys are so popular, I found their stuff I heard mediocre which the footage above seems seems to confirm. I like some metallic sounding synths tho. What are they doing, just fading in and out tracks ? The guy on the right with the laptop seemed to watch videos Quote

Ormion Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 That's not full on, therefore it's not a full on party. 2 Quote
Padmapani Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 these videos shake two of my previously firmly-held believes: 1. gms were already pretty bad when i saw them in 2011 or something. (i could actually dance to some of the stuff and a cheap remix of the age of love was the highlight of their set) 2. "fullon" (well, what some people still call "fullon") cannot possibly go lower than electro sun - out of your love or perplex vs. intersys - glorious times Oh my, that music is really bad and commercial... And the crowd goes WILD that's not exactly what i'd call "the crowd goes wild". for me that would imply them going wild dancing to the music and trancing out (just like you see on the videos of the goa trance parties in belgium), but that's clearly not happening here. they're cheering, putting their hands up in the air, imitating the moves of the gms guys and so on. rather something you'd expect to happen at a gigi d'agostino (or whoever has taken his place as the #1 commercial-electronic-pop-bullshit-music producer now; is it david guetta? avici or how they're called?) show. you can do such things when you're hyped by some kind of music, but you cannot when you're actually lost in the music. </rant> Quote
franki Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 It's embarrassing that this commercial rubbish is seen by some as psytrance. 1 Quote
Drosophila Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 It's really hard to believe they created Chaos Laboratory and The Growly Family... 1 Quote
GhostOnAcid Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 I think back in the days gms were 4 Members. 2 members are gone and the talent too. ;-) 1 Quote
Drosophila Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Definitely might be part of the story, but I'm afraid there is more to it... well at least it was not good either when Frequency Surfer was part of the gang.. eg. No Rules, which also stinks... might be the last guy 1 Quote
Ormion Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 They always made this kind of pop music with a bass and kick as 1200 Mics. For example this is from 2007 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bpyn773qJ8 Quote

Jaza Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 I think back in the days gms were 4 Members. 2 members are gone and the talent too. ;-) 1200 Mics is the four of them (Riktam, Bansi, Chicago, Raja Ram) but GMS is just Riktam and Bansi. They were always cheesy-ish at their peak, but now they've just given up. Their real passion is the "Riktam & Bansi" tech house / prog house project. (Which can be bland but has some gems hidden throughout their catalogue if you like that style of music.) We had GMS at a party in Aus about two years ago. The worst set I've ever seen. Ever. Just like above, commercial tracks turned in to "psytrance". When the 1200mics medley is the least cheesiest part of the set, you have a problem. I walked away after Fat Boy Slim mixed in to Zombie Nation :/ 1/3 of the crowd went wild, everyone else went to bed. Such a pity for that crucial 4am set which determines if people push through sunrise or try to get a small few hrs of sleep before their tents warm up. I felt so bad for Hypnocoustics who played after to a cleared dancefloor. Beautiful melodic sunrise to only a dedicated few compared with the bumper crowd at 3am. Quote
Paul Eye Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 1200 Mics is the four of them (Riktam, Bansi, Chicago, Raja Ram) but GMS is just Riktam and Bansi. Growling Mad Scientists used to be Riktam, Bansi, Jacob (Yakov Biton) and Sebi (Sebastian Claro) in various combinations. At least on their first album. Quote
Presagio Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 There was a time I used to love their set´s but somewhere in the beginning of the new century they totally got drunk with the mainstream Brazilan fever.I believe the turning point of many of the psytrance producers was when they start to go to Brazil to play there. For the first time they felt they were rock stars... and that feeling become their drug an in most of us point of view their decline!! 1 Quote
Richpa Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Swampy GMS FTW!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5oI2KAk7UU Quote

And let's not forget the white powder that changed not only the audience but also the music late 90's start of the 2000's Quote
