[psytrance]: Am I getting close ?

I'm still trying to get that Psytrance feel, Sorry if I've not yet hit the mark. So I'm looking for opinions on No More!:

No More ! @ Soundclick.com

So is this too busy for the style ? Any other comments ?

The acid is good.

That lead at around 1:14 is a little too full and grandiose, IMO. It sounds too much like epic trance.

In general, it sounds a little too sugary for my tastes. I suppose there's nothing wrong with that, but I don't really like the sound.

Hmm.. interesting stuff. I wouldnt really consider this psy tho.

Interesting beginning. Nice acidlines then... bubbling .. Got me stomping my feet.
Now youre starting with the supersaws, and I dont really like that part. First of all, I wouldnt use supersaw leads in Psy, and the chords dont sound psy either. It also gets a bit noisy in addition with the background sounds. The stomping 'oomph-ta' in the background is nice tho. It gets a bit chaotic at 2:35 and after: sometimes more is less. Maybe you should try cleaning up the song a bit by EQing all the elements. Nice use of the sample.
Overall, a nice experimental song, good sound, quite stomping. But I agree that its too hectic and chaotic in parts. Psy might often sound chaotic too, but its more organized chaos

Its a bit rough around the edges, but your heading in a good direction. Its fairly hypnotic but at the same time has a fairly energetic and at times uplifting feel. The start feel a bit goa-ish with the acid style synth but then you bring in these pads from out of nowhere which makes it feel more uplifting and all the time that bass/kick is banging away in the background... lol.

You need to consider what you put into a track a bit more. You've crammed a lot of elements in there which fight for dominance. Maybe that, or just eq it all a bit better.

Anyway, keep at it. That tracks got a cool old school style which I think would sound great in a track if you managed to sort out the other elements people have mentioned.

Yeah I have. I think one problem I've got at the moment is I'm trying to put to much in, I guess I'm afraid that too little will sound to minimal and boring. A bit more self discipline is needed !

So back to the drawing board, but at least I've got something to work from.

I like this tune. I agree it sound chaotic at times, but I don't know if that's a bad thing really. intresting sample, and intresting use of it, is it from a movie? ;D

Don't normally listen to psy, but I think this tune isn't the ordinary psy-tune, it's a little more to the Techno-direction. Not saying that's a bad thing ;D lately I've started to really enjoy Techno.

Thanks Putboy,
Yeah the quotes are from 2 movies, Roger Corman's "Last Woman on Earth" and Joseph Green's "The Brain that wouldn'ty die" ("No normal mind can imagine it"). And I believe they are 100% legal !
