Ambient Psytrance: Higher Intelligence Agency - Spectral

this is a joke right? i'll put them on right now, but if memory serves me well, these were released in 94 or 95 (on beyond records and later waveform) and they were more ambient than trance. hypnotic sounding yes, but pulsating move-your-ass-and-bob-your-head trance, not.

someone should distinguish trance before producers introdced the heavy bassline in the mid to lat 90s. does anyone know which track was among the first ones with it?

No, Pleidean Communication is "classic" trance: it has a lower BPM than your favorite Ferry Corsten cut, but that doesn't matter. And the other is "psybient" "ambient psy" "psy ambient" whatever they call it.

I think that's supposed to be Rob Searle Remix, a quick check on discogs and I couldn't find a remix by Oakey. He did spin it once though, and it may have been on one of his compilations.

Progressive trance? Like Three Drives on a Vinyl - Greece 2000? Not sure what he means, either.

Peace Out!

Astrix as a perfect psy example is a terrible example. he is more melodic trance than real psytrance.

funky breaks : chemical brothers - delik
house : fatboy slim - love island (im quite sure this is house? anyone clarify?)

it does. i'm listening to it right now and call it 126 bpm. it's not trance.

don't misintepret this as my belief that "pleidean communication" sucks, but i believe that there are a lot more worthy candidates (which i'll post soon).

Posted by Aiwendil on Jul-24-2005 02:07:

Of course it's trance. The whole thing is a bubbly arpeggiated 303 bubblebath. I'd have put others first myself like Age of love or Cosmic Love, but that gets redundant. But it's funny though, if it isn't trance then what is it pro?

Unless we're talking about Speedcore or Terrorcore or something along those lines, a song's BPM doesn't necessarily determine whether or not it can be labeled under one genre or another. Go listen to Eternal Basement's Woy; at a tempo of only 100 BPM, it's freakishly slow, yet it fits the Trance archetype to a T.

Recently I've been munching on house, so I gotta add something that wasnt mentioned too well:

Disco House: PJ - Happy Days (Unreleased Mix)
House: CJ Bolland - Sugar Is Sweeter (Armand's Mix) or Swift - Feel Good
Garage House: Indo - R U Sleeping (Stonebridge Remix)
Chicago House: Fingers Inc - Mystery Of Love, Tyree featuring Chic - I Fear The Night
Detroit House: Inner City - Big Fun

Melodic Trance: Vimana - We Came

Detroit Techno (my fav genre, its hard to choose one):
Model 500 - No UFO's (D-Mix)
Cybotron - r9
Aril Brikha - Groove La Chord

Does it have a kick? My puny PC speakers failed to detect one. And in either case, you deny The KLF the label of trance and call that a perfect example of the style?

Also... Urban Hype? The same Urban Hype who did Trip to Trumpton? Shit, they must have changed style a lot to have made a defining prog house track.

Yes, it does, but it's very soft. Danceable rhythms wasn't a part of A Positive Life's template (aside from The Calling and Listen Up!). If you're one of those folks that figures trance can only be trance if it is danceable, then I can see Pleidien Communications wouldn't fit in the typical branch. Didn't stop me from playing it in a trance set, though.

Trance: RD1 - Eclipse
Psy Trance: Etnica - Party Droid
House: Fred Everything - Under The Sun
Progressive: Steve Porter - Innerpulse
Breakbeat: Sniper - Crossfader Dominator
Techno: David Holmes - Minus 61 In Detroit
Ambient: Pulsar - Pulsation
Euro: B.G. The Prince Of Rap - Can't Love You
Hip-Hop: Deltron 3030 - Mastermind
Jungle: Dillinja - Silver Blade
God Music: L.S.G. - Fontana
The Devil's Work: Rednex - Cotten Eye Joe

BPMs don't matter.

you guys are right. i'm wrong.

now excuse me while i listen to some happy hardcore (never you mind that it's only 120 bpms) and drive to the record store in my sports car below (again, never you mind that it only reaches a top speed of 60 miles per hour and takes 30 seconds to go from 0-60. after all, it has a racing stripe and bucket seats.)
