Auras have been scientifically proven? Links please!

The closest I know of it, experiments in meditation have elicited results within cancer patients, stressed-out individuals, and people affected by other afflictions of the mind, body and soul. People imagine a healing aura and results are observed - nothing has been officially proven, as who is to say that the person would not have been cured anyways or that they're not just administering themselves a mental placebo?

Anyways...

Good to see someone who enjoys their music so much! It's kind of refreshing, as most people on these boards only bicker about how much they hate each other's music (even though it all sounds alike)

The only real Psy/Goa I've experienced would be through Oakenfold's CDs 'Fluoro' was absolutely excellent and 'A Voyage Into Trance' was...uh...ok. But I suspect I'm not getting the true PsyTrance experience - is there a single-best Psy album out there? (this is, of course, your opion I'm asking - I know there's no such thing as a 'best album evar!')

LOL Ok so maybe I was just rambling on there...but I thought that they were scintifically proven
You of course seem to have more knowledge than be so I will take your word there is no real proof.
As for the part where you mention "who is to say that the person would not have been cured anyways or that they're not just administering themselves a mental placebo?"
I believe that anything can be cured as long as you have the faith and will power to fight it...I may be out of line again but that is just I feel

I wish there was a single-best album even in my opinion but unfortunately I cannot help you there.
What I will suggest is the following:

http://www.di.fm/ - Online radio - scroll down and click on the GOA/PSY TRANCE LINK (DUH!)

http://www.philosomatika.com/ - another online radio

Keep in mind that there are several styles of PSY/GOA which can be as unique as say Classical is from Hip Hop, but nevertheless they all share the same 'psychedelicness' so to speak, in their own way of course.

Some of my fav artisits range from

Ol Skool - before 2000 -
Infected Mushroom (Oldest Albums)
Skazi (First 2 albums)
Doof, Prana, Infinity Project (Ol skool Goa classic)
Parasense

New Skool

Digital Talk
Jirah
Transdrive
Kluster
Shift
Twisted System
Scorb and I could go on and on

Hope this helps

Why don't you tell me a bit on the kind of music you listen to and suggest some artists, I'm always open to different kinds of music...

Respect!

I do love goa, but I prefer the more melodic stuff than the crazy/wierd noises/witchcraft-type stuff. Stuff like Astral Projection, Etnica, Shpongle, Hallucinogen, etc. One of my favourite tracks is Astral Projection - Heavens Gate.

Any recommendations?

In case you somehow haven't figured it out, I was being sarcastic.

I love psy, but the more melodic kind as the poster above me mentioned. I like the fx-centered psy, but I can listen to the more melodic psy for longer periods of time.

Goa though is the really interesting genre imo. The same psy effect but through organic elements. Essentially it's just a modernized version of what's been happening for the past few thousand years in the form of the hypnotic tribal music, only with more elements. Not to mention how synths by themselves can have more of an innately hypnotic sound than organic instruments...that in itself makes goa more of a challenge to create and, imo, more rewarding to listen to.

But I still love the synth-heavy stuff

I just can't get into psy trance simply because ..

A. I can't stand the kick drums
B. It's way too hectic

did I mention the kicks?

nah im only 17 and i tried but i couldnt find the money....
i dont think thery are going to do any parties in samothraki again cuz last year (2003) there was too muxh drugs and the police cought lots of ppl. it didnt happen this year. damn and i had the money to go. i was saving all winter to go there but the rumors came true...
but who cares... greece has so many islands
im sure they ll organise it again with an other name in an other island. its the same old story... when the first drug reports go on tv politics wont let us party (lol)
i spin progressive trance / trance but i listen all genres mostly house techno psy anything i like.
what about you wats your name?

now for the fans:
















wow... i think in a vast majority of cases, radagast has quite the valid point




EDIT: i just realized, this is my 500th post now i jsut have to wait for another month

ahahaaha @ those pics!

pics = lol

But yea psy just seems abit too simple for me, like not much going on apart from about 3 different sythns at one time.

Is it just cause the producers arnt too good with a synthesiser?

Don't like psy, far too pretentious. Although Juno Reactor rock.

Skanuga - first of all, welcome! I'm into psy trance as well (hey, I'm only a 35 min. flight away from Goa!), though probably not as much as you are. Where you originally from and how old are you? You sound like a good guy, but you may wanna go a bit easy on the whole PLUR-we-will-all-come-together-and-hug-trees-and-tap-into-each-others-aura schpeel. It's kinda 'been-there-done-that' for quite a while now......and some of the ppl on this forum can get pretty vicious .

Dude, those pics are funny, but most if not all of them are in Goa, where all those hippies have been living forever, 'coz no other country will friggin' take them! Anyway, I go to Goa every year and I'll be partying and dancing with them come december. Yeah, so they look like Jesus and Bob Marley combined, and they have lost more than a few braincells, but they're harmless.....and they're the ones who know where all the parties are at !

Well thanks for the welcome buddy, i appreciate it.

I don't know what you mean buy "go a bit easy on the whole PLUR blah blah blah" I don't know how I implied that! All I'm saying is more ppl should check out the psy scene because it is really awesome and so is the music and not everyone may like it, but some will!!! The vibe is great and the ppl are great. Some of them are hippies, like u and others mentioned, where as some of them are not. I for one, am not, in fact I'm in the completely opposite direction, I just like to party hard so I got attracter to the scene...but then I learnt from it how to respect mother nature and other people.
Besides in Goa, most ppl are so out of touch with the spirit, they leave trash everywhere and treat newcomers like tourist etc etc
The scene elsewhere is so much better...
As for the people on this forum they just don't know better the same way I probably don't know much about their scenes. All we can do is open our eyes and see how it's done from another point of view...

You yourself seem like a great guy, and I hope I get to know you more in the coming of times
Anyways man, as I have been posting more threads about psy and I am seeing a lot more people in here that like psy than what I had thought before.

In fact, I see you are from bombay! So is my mom!
I was born and raised in Malaysia and then I moved to the states with my family a long time ago so I don't know so much about life in India, but I have been to Goa and I have been to the Northern mountains.
Psy is not the only thing in my life, but its more like a retreat from the rest of my life.

Boom!

Buddhistics I hope you didn't take me as being rude in this post, coz that is not what I meant to imply
this is just how i talk

Not at all, man - in fact I'm totally with you on what you've said above - my feelings exactly! I know Goa ain't what it used to be like in the good 'ol days, but it's still the birthplace of the whole rave/psy scene for ppl around here - and besides, it's pretty much all we've got for now!

All the guitars, and live instruments and chanting and stuff. It's like psy is so convinced that it's the serious and credible part of trance it doesn't want to actually be fun music.

So whats wrong with all the guitar and live instruments?
That just shows we all have roots, and we bring them into the psy scene when we come in, thats what makes it so unique and diverse at the same time.
Ideas from everywhere are accepted.
Instead of speaking badly about this point you should look at it as a good thing
I am surprised at you

As for the chanting same goes man, people who came from those backgrounds (more religiously oriented, india, africa etc brought the chanting ) I must say you are very unaccepting of other cultures and their traditions.

And what are you saying man it is the most fun (i'm not comparing) but in itself it is the most happening and entertaining scene.
Everybody in the scene just enjoys all the music and the creativity and the spirit! Yes the Spirit! which is what makes it so speacial from any other trendy electronic music genre...

Respect!

There's only one club in Bombay that consistently brings over good Psy DJ's. There is a decent underground scene that takes place on the outskirts of Bombay and Delhi - all outdoors and away from the cops. The last two shows I saw were Neuromotor and Broken Toy, both out in the middle of nowhere, which was kinda cool (the cops in this country are assholes!).
