Slim Pickens Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I'm new to trance/techno.I'm also older than dirt.I am a recent convert to this genre of music.I will allow that I do like some Goa (especially the old school stuff,but the underbeat(?)get's to me after a little while,so I don't listen to a lot of it..I tried Downtempo,and it is nice and has it's place,but I find myself gravitating to Psytrance.I enjoy Shpongle--Younger Brother..Hallucinogen--OTT..Blue Planet Corp..Cosma..Saafi Bros etc.I don't much like the darker genre's of Psytrance tho.I spend a goodly amount of time on youtube (I know ..ACCCKKK!!) but there seems to be a good deal of music there to sample.Any suggestions as to what other artists i might try,given my preferences? I apologize for being new,and this might read like a topic from an elementary student,But I really would appreciate some suggestions.Thanks.SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blair Thaumic Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Hmm, since you seem to like smoother sounds prog-psy might be the best fit. I'm not super familiar with the style but Atmos, Stereofeld, Tarsis, Shiva Chandra, Vibrasphere, and Son Kite have some great releases. For faster goa that still has strong rhythms, check out Shakta, Deviant Electronics, and Uni. Escape Into, Voice of Cod, and OOOD are some good 'new school' psytrance acts. For something more funky/crazy/experimental without being too dark, try Nervasystem. You might also try some 'normal trance' on labels like Platipus, and classic pre goa trance on labels like MFS and Harthouse. Where it all began. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim Pickens Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 No doubt I came to the right place for suggestions.I got as far as the first suggestion Earwall made..haven't made it further.I was going to sample some cuts,but i tried Atmos 604 first,and haven't got the self control to move on yet.This is really Good Good music!It's still GOA to me,but realy really good Goa.:)Starkraver..I didn't mention that Juno Reactor is also one of my faves,but I hadn't heard their Golden Sun from the Great East release yet.I'll get to it as soon as I have all the Atmos stuff.Ha-ha...Thanks for the help guys!...on edit:I also have some Solar Fields and Carbon Based LifeForms Interloper and Jaia Blue Energy.

astralprojection Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 when it comes to good music recommendations, yes you are definately in the right place. Everyone here is a musical genious! No sarcasm or irony intended! Welcome to psynews If you enjoy progressive psytrance, or just want incredible quality psytrance any subgenre; I would recommend Vibrasphere. All of their tracks are good, while some are great, and some are masterpieces. Track to start out with: Thermal Twist which is a nice mix between psytrance and progressive psytrance with a nice morning twist to it. For Goatrance I'd recommend: Astral, Early Infected/Shidapu/Shiva Shidapu, Very early Yahel, Very early MFG, Transwave, Hallucinogen, BPC, Pleiadians/Etnica/Crop Circles, Biot, Early Cosmosis, Man with no name, Mindfield, Subcouds, Early Talamasca, Early Electric Universe, Goa syndrome, Aural Planet, Chi-A.D, Cyan, Darshan, Digital Sun, Dimension 5, Doof, Elysium, G-Lock, Imperial Project, Oforia, Prana, Radiotrance, S.U.N Project (Macrophage only), GNOTR, Total Eclipse, U.X/Slide, X-Dream For misc Psytrance, Fullon and Progressive Psytrance; Talamasca, Electric Universe, Wizzy Noise, Human Blue, Silicon Sound, Logic Bomb, Space Cat, X-Dream, Cosma, Akanoid, Hux Flux, Koxbox, Infected, Droidsect, Safi Connection and alot more, although Vibrasphere has such an extensive catalouge I rarely need moar than it. For Neogoa/New School Goatrance; Artifact303, Filteria, Mindsphere, Nova Fractal, Celestial Intelligence, Psy-H Project, Liquid Flow, E-Mantra, Skarma, Afgin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padmapani Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 human blue has some really nice progressive with especially the early releases sometimes being heavily influenced by goa. try this one: for some really good "modern" progressive try e-clip. more good progressive: lyctum liquid soul andromeda elegy protonica some essential oldschool goa artists i think you'd like: chi-a.d. dimension 5 / hunab ku transwave yahel (first album only) aeternum doof same for newschool goa: ra artifact303 khetzal eleusyn antares ethereal e-mantra (for slower, smoother music: his side project night hex) some psytrance/fullon artists you cannot miss: logic bomb (goes from weird psytrance to fullon to progressive) silicon sound (pure analog album) braincell talamasca (musica divinorum, zodiac) psilocybian for chillout i'd just point you towards altar records. i guess that's more than enough for now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraneFreeze Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 FYI, a lot of psy and goa can now be sampled at Bandcamp, including some of the early classics. Here's a couple of sites you might visit: http://cosmosis.bandcamp.com/ http://cronomi.bandcamp.com/ http://datrecords.bandcamp.com/ http://suntriprecords.bandcamp.com/ http://zion604records.bandcamp.com/ You can also try the Ektoplazm website http://www.ektoplazm.com/section/free-music 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astralprojection Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 next random track. biot - oxygen orgasm '98 (style: heavy acidic goa, agressive and darkish, with very dancable grooves and retaing the perfect psychedelic vibe throughout. A real masterpeice.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Eye Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Take this from a guy who's primarily into goa trance, this is some very nice progressive: Algae Bloom - The Blossom <- this album is unbelievably fantastic, even a few diehard darkpsy guys loved it Stereofeld - Frequenzwechsel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkraver Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Something completely different from all this, but YOU MUST TRY THIS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kartoonz Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I might sound a bit cheesy here but how about some tracks by vibe tribe and Astrix. They have some pretty good dance tracks. I can share some tracks if ur interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shpongled247 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 ^^ You should also look through the reviews section of this site, one of the best resources in the world for discovering good stuff, if you haven't already... Often number of replies correlates to quality, but also sometimes not. Either way, its worth looking through all the various years for gems you may have missed. The guys have already given you some pretty solid lists so far though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
