recursion loop Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 The Silicon Sound thread reminded me on this, It was the subgenre that has actually hooked me and made me a psytrance fan. But it seems to have died out by now. I mean, 144-146 bpm, trancy melodies, smooth and soft morning sound. Often borderline cheesy (well, sometimes not even borderline), not really psychedelic but still very enjoyable. Any ideas why music like this is not made anymore? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystee Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I fell in love with psy for the same reasons. I want to assure you (and myself) that the moment i got in contact with the genre, i knew i'm gonna do whatewer it takes to master my way through and be able to release my energies in our beloved way. 10 years passed, im on my way, and now i also know im not alone, there is actually an army of people training, mastering the art, and getting ready for the honor to speak the psychedelic language to the beat-hungry open hearts on the planet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shpongled247 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I too love a sunrise set of some melodic full on.. early protoculture style is just perfect for that time imo. No idea really why its not as prevalent nowdays. U Recken and those guys are still making music though his later stuff hasnt grabbed me as much. Hopefully someone here knows some nice new stuff for us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone here knows some nice new stuff for us! U recken is mostly making prog now. Not bad and quite melodic at times, but indeed not really as exciting as his older stuff. Other people who were making this kind of fullon are either silent now or make some different music. Digicult recently uploaded a track to youtube, no idea if he is going to release it officially but it's awesome but I think that's an old track actually. Neuroplasm's The Art of Melting Time and E-Mov's Stellar Loom have some nice melodic bits that remind me of that old full-on, not really a melodic storm like old Protoculture or U-Recen but some decent melodic parts here and there. Also some elements of that melodic/morning full-on may be occasionally found in some random tracks every now and then, but I can't think of any artist/label who would consistently release music in that style now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imba Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I will always miss tracks like this: That's what I listened before I started with Goa and it's damn hard to hear this retro melodic fullon these days at festivals... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recursion loop Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 Awesome track, Imba! More Alternative Control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imba Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Alternative Control will always be my favorite full-on project and they were first psy producers that I met even before I started music production, some 13-14 years ago when I was high school kid... oh so much fancy stories from gigs they did around the globe, they were one to encourage me to start with my own production, amazing guys!

astralprojection Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 yeah i miss it. i remember the summer of 2003, it was fullon all the way, and i think i remember i had like dozens of good tracks from then, but turns out, its just a few. couple talamasca stuff (not his albums, VA stuff), silicon sound, and some other generic stuff that sounded great (space monkey for example). seems that style died out very quickly for some reason! U-Recken is awesome btw, a bit muddy and boomy, but really really good stuff. in fact im gonna check out every single track from your OP recursion i havent heard most of them =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padmapani Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 the basslines of u-recken are surely not as snappy and puchy as those from spirit architect, djantrix or the like (which are also an acquired taste for us old folks ;) ), but i'm still loving those of neural mantra and his frequent flyers remix.

recursion loop Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 Guys, if these not the absolute bassline materpieces then I don't know what is I love how they sound dark and menacing on their own and how they are contrasted by these sublime melodies. The dude is a freaking genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astralprojection Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 the first track sounded nice but the second one sounded like 96k mp3 so its hard to judge =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padmapani Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 full quality version: realy nice bassline. but that melody at 2:30! thanks for posting this. still i prefer this bassline: deep, warm and flowing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recursion loop Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 Occasionally found this track, surprisingly it was on a Neogoa compilcation but I think it's somehow closer to full-on. Gorgeous melodies, especially in the closing part And yet another gem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhollmusik Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 The Omnipresence comp is very good, what I would call morning psy but I guess you can also call it melodic full-on. Here's a Transdriver: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recursion loop Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 As close as it gets in 2019-2020. TBH, somewhat cheesy and simplistic compared to the best of the older stuff, more similar to DNA and such than DIgicult, U-Recken or Protoculture, but... it's that full-on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Eye Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Still absolutely the best fullon track ever made: Also some good old Hypnoxock: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recursion loop Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 Yes, when Hypnoxock was making full-on it was some of the absolutely best full-on out there. Sadly I can't say the same about his goa efforts. And of course almost everything ever made by Anders is pure genius and that Chromosome album is absolutely incredible as a whole.

Bartzabel Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Yeah I miss it. I also find this style reminds me more of the early twilight sound. A lot of people seem to indicate Nano does this style, but I find they are not very melodic & their releases star to sound very same same after awhile. Vertigo label from Russia really nailed the crossover for me of fullon & forest sound but they have gonna real quite, no other label seems to fill the gap.
