It feels like I've been living a lie  To be honest what actually got me into psy was IM's Converting Vegetarians (I was a late adopter of trance  ) and I'm pretty sure it's the same for a lot of people. Listening to the new album a second time now, I must say I'm starting to find it a bit more tolerable (first listening session made me very sad :/) I must admit I was also quite disappointed with the remix of The Messenger - something that I really enjoyed of IM's older chillout work was the jazzy feel they had, especially in this track - I want my cheesy saxophone-playing back :/Perfect opportunity to link the original and reminisce... The Messenger (Original) - Jorg on Mushroom + Show Spoiler + NP man. If you come to Oslo early in September you'll hear that song played live by Jörg. Its a long fucking trek from South Africa, but if you have the cash I think it'll be worth it. Peace | ||

Like for one, lots of full on is psychedelic, try listening to that shit on acid, it works, sure there's some cheesy shit out there that's just all about being dancey but that's not all of it. There's definitely some darker full on that has a focus on psychedelic moods as well. Also, that x-dream track is too early to be concidered goa trance. Of course Full-on works on acid. So does techno, so does prog-house, so does rock. A lot of things "work" on acid. Psychedelic within the historical Psytrance culture is something else; it is a certain "twisted" feel to the music, when full-on nowadays is all about keeping all the sounds up-front and in your face, melodically simple, and bass driven. Sure there is darker and more psychedelic full-on; it's just the minority and gets played less at parties. What was said was a generalization; we are agreed on that. But given the music out there, it's the closest a generalization can get. That X-Dream track is not too early to be considered goa trance, at the time it was a goa trance hit that everyone in the scene knew and loved. If you want questionable on the goa scale, go back to the 80s, when it was just considered a new form of "electronic dance music". + Show Spoiler + What is considered the closest thing to the first goa release is KLF's What Time is Love? (Pure Trance Version), released in 1988. It's not really Goa as we know it, but the main elements are there: | ||

I don't think there's many people who concider klf to be goa... I met a guy who said he'd been listening to psy trance since the 70s once though. Hell I've never even heard of the KLF being on any 80s goa tracklists, apparently it was all new wave and ebm back then. If someone wants an alternative explanation look at this http://www.australiens.net/features/goa-trance/ or there's this one helda.helsinki.fi/handle/10138/34536 | ||

http://www.indiegogo.com/ektoplazm-2012 If you didn't know about ektoplazm it's a site with thousands (if not more) of releases in various psy styles that you can download for free (and is legal) in flac, mp3 or wav. Apparently it's also the biggest site of it's kind (2x larger than bandcamp for instance) | ||

The tracks: Sailing in the Sea of Mushroom + Show Spoiler + Dracul + Show Spoiler + These two and the other 3 (Pretender cover, Poquito Mas and Messenger 2012 remake) make up 5 IM tracks that I've heard played on GSL so far , but the last two are from their second oldest album. Here's hoping to more old school Infected Mushroom in the next couple of GSLs! | ||

I think there's a lot of good/cool sounding artist names in the genre: GMS - Growling Mad Scientist (probably my favorite band name of all time) MFG - Message From God TIP - The Infinity Project Hux Flux Koxbox Logic Bomb Man With No Name Jaïa | ||

Yea, all the artists/songs are named after drugs if you ignore the names about nature, space, other life-forms, feelings, spirituality, meditation, love, energy, sychronicity, etc... You are right my friend. Here's another artists/song named after a drug U-Recken - Lost Paradise | ||
