Euro-trance and psytrance are quite different things, exactly because the sounds have different philosophy behind them (as you said). It's possible to make psytrance more melodic, but not epic/uplifiting... it doesn't makes sense for me, just my opinion. For euro-trance is easier, you can mix with house, chill out etc. Progressive trance is an example.

Yahel did some collaboration with Infected Mushroom a while back although I dont really think the results were that spectacular.
Like you say, Psy could become more melodic which is exactly what I'm talking about. I dont think modern Psy has lost that completely though, infact its roots were in the long complex arpeggiated melodies of goa trance. As for melodic producers that have a slight psy feel to their productions, I think Airbase and Re:Locate's early stuff had a very slight psy edge to it which given some serious hammering could work with psy sounds. Basically I'm imagining a lighter, more euphoric or atleast comical style of psy that draws upon the energy of psy as opposed to the hypnotic elements.
I think also some of the harder epic sounds could fit in well with Psy also. Think along the lines of Signum, Randy Katana, Alex Morph. What would not work obviously though is the more uplifting styles. Anything too drawn out or too reliant on big buildups and breaks for example.
I'm not suggesting that it would work straight off the bat. Far from it, I think that producers are going to have to break a few eggs before the right style and feel is hit upon. I think its heading along those lines already though. The new infected mushroom album (for all its faults) is taking psy in some very interesting directions, as are the likes of X-dream and Black & White. To some extent, its loosing its 'trance' nature and become electro-psy. But to hell with somantics, I've been waiting for this sound to emerge for a looong time.
I've heard a few of you refer to freestyle hardcore. I dont think I've heard this before. Can someone explain to me the finer points of it or perhaps post some samples?
