It's difficult to answer either way... X-Dream's body of trance is rather unique, the sound palette has some unconventional choices mixed with the more common tropes. As is mine when I think about it... but our moods differ quite a length. I'd say the style is closer to some of the progressively melodic Chi-A.D. bangers but only slightly so. "The sound" - yeah I know what you mean. It's probably the point beyond any musical education where a person's mindset and preferences come to play. Well, it's somewhat of course related to musical knowledge and the kinda studio one works with, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Not sure if this meets the threshold for "new" but it's super cool and something disenchanted Goa trance fans should check out sometime: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 There's quite a lot of interesting stuff coming out of the modern acid house, analog techno, and dark disco domains that ends up sounding like something reminiscent of the proto-Goa period (1989-1994). Some entrancing selections below, for those who don't mind the slower BPMs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Maybe there's a revolution going on but it's not coming out of anything we'd normally associate with the psytrance scene.
