Psytrance....why not?

Why doesn't psychedelic trance get more of a nod or mention here on this forum? For a forum that is devoted to trance, I've never understood this.

There is some beautiful, melodic neo-Goa being produced as well as some great tweaked and trippy psychedelic full-on. I'd go so far as to say it's one of the only sub-genres of trance left with any integrity or intelligence.

What's even more amazing to me is how people complain about the declne of the rave scene, and at a lot of the outdoor parties and psy events the old-skool rave spirit is alive and thriving.

Even on the downtempo side, psybient or chilled psytrance is incredible.

I just don't get it.

Psy trance is kick ass.

The only problem with psy trance nights/parties in Vancouver is that they're 110% psy/goa trance.. which gets very menotonous after a while. I've been known to drop some psy trance in my sets, but the key is to keep things interesting and mix things up. Prog house, trance, techno, psy... etc the way it should be done.

I guess this just reienforces the fact of how divided the scene is musically in Vancouver. Good music is good music.. I wish more folks would see it that way.

You won't hear any complaints from me about psy or the scene.. well the scene is weak in Calgary, you really have to look hard to the "underground" events.

But psy-trance is all I spin now.. so +1 for Psy!

dj_alucard: Psytrance has changed drastically from the days of platiups and union jack. It's arguable, but Goan trance reached it's golden zenith between 1994 and 1999 before the genre took a turn away from melodies and began to plunge into the depths of minimal and dark full-on base driven styles with more formulaic melodies. That's where a lot of the individual styles that made the genre so great started to meld together. Lately a new sub-genre is starting to emerge, the so-called neo-Goa, which is returning to Goan trance's melodic roots but with less of that raw edgy TB 303 sound. The production is much slicker and polished, but whether or not that's a good thing is to be determined.

It's much like comparing Armin and Tiesto's glory days of trance to the trance they are spinning today.
