yep got those ones, Human Blue - Womb FTW!
Indica - Different Perspective FTW!
wizzy Noise and J00f's tunes are ace!


but am looking for more atmospherics in the melodies instead of simple synths and things like that.

lots of sweeping white noise and some stuff that rocks a 50,000 watt outdoor funktion 1 soundsystem

cheers SMC

Vibrasphere, check out "Archipelago". Pure bliss

Freaked Frequency

I dunno tht's the kind of sound your looking for but I love it. They are only 20 yrs old with lots of good things ahead them. Check em out.

www.myspace.com/freakedfrequency

Check out Sound Field

I have no idea why people consider Vibrasphere psy....

Because genres are not defined purely by sound, but also historic context, regional geography, distribution patterns, and so on. Psytrance is a broad style that incorporates a lot of music that doesn't sound like stereotypical psychedelic trance...

Anyhow, on subject; check out Mr. Peculiar, Jirah, Tikal, and maybe some of the Israelis (Pixel, Space Cat, and so on). If you would like something with a touch of that old school feeling, pick up Blue Planet Corporation's full-length album (1999).

These artists are EXACTLY what you are looking for

Optokoppler
Alternative Control
Gataka
System Nipel
Aquatica
Ypsilon 5

Fractal & Glider - Up

Hearing this track alot lately at the outdoor gigs and its neither psy or trance but it causes a massive crowd frenzy when its dropped on the big rigs, sort of minimal feel to it, but its nust! not too good in headphones but on the big systems its justice is revealed!

check it out

+ all of Sun Control Species' new album is great!

fractal and glider? you dont mean just fractal glider?

Fractal Glider, some of Ja�a's older stuff (Ma� Ma� e.g.), Astrix, Sesto Sento ect. I think you should consider Israeli-styled names similar to the last two i mentioned.

They once did awsome progressive psy but has now turned to electro house sound more than progressive psy. Ticon and Son Kite has done just the same funny enough... But they don't make bad music becuase of this shift in gear

Try Astrix - Artcore 2004. He's about to release another album really soon.

Ace Ventura first album rebirth may well be worth a listen. For older works I would check tracks from Andromeda, Perfect stranger, Jaia, Antix.

For more faster stuff, other than the stuff already mentioned you may want to check also Cosma, Fatali, Silicon Sound.

I think I'm just one of the people that still can't understand the whole prog psy thing. To me trance can't be both progressive and Psychadelic, it just doesn't make sense. I would consider vibrasphere neither, Id just call it a harder shape of prog house.

vibrasphere tracks like seven days to daylight, landmark, morning breeze, purple floating & pretty much all the upbeat tracks from 'echo' all have really strong psy influences


most of their other stuff is probably more accurately classed as prog trance though

Although Vibra, Ticon and Son Kite was just the top of the mountain
really, like the Ti�sto and Buuren of the genre.
There are quite a few deeper projects out there wich is more of
"the real deal" in the progpsy genre than Vibra, Ticon or Son Kite.

It isn't so hard to understand really, there are many forms of psychedelic trance if you want to be specific. You have for example a "techier" side of psy wich means there is sort of a techno feeling to the sound, mentionable names are X-Dream, PPS Project or even The Delta at some degree.
The most mainstream part of psy today, the fullon is also a category within the genre. Astrix is a good example aswell as the stuff J00F spins sometimes. Fullon is usually where the melodic trance meets generic psychedelic trance because you often have many strong melodic elements in the tracks compared to the other subgenres. Check out the later Bamboo Forest stuff, that's very good fullon imo. If you want to get ultracheese fullon you should check out Skazi for example
You have the acid styled psy wich i think is the best representation of "pure" psy. But that is just a personal oppinion. Hux Flux, Dark Nebula, 1200 Micrograms, Osom, amongs others.
It's quite the same with progpsy actually, you have a scaled down but strong "deep" sound, with beats that just goes on without any big drops. Same as with progressive trance, the difference is that the soundpicture has more influences from the other psy genres, monotone bassline, the way tracks are structured, more psychedelic soundscapes ect.

Why?

I don't know I just can't get it through my head. I think it's because of when I think of psy I think of hard and simple percussion, high riffs, and acid influences; when I think of prog I think somewhat the opposite.
