Faust_UA and Ian, the think is, that, if you noticed, your "Psy" reccomendations were most (if not all) coming from post-millenium artists, and the sound that you suggest as "Psy" is what i call the more full-on post-millenium iron-trance which wasn't so evident in the 90s(or i think didn't exist at all...perhaps Ololiuqui was somehow close but...). What you propose as a strict universal goa-psy difference is nothing more then the one and only genre's revolution in time, branching in various directions and sounds IMO. |
Yes, I've noticed that almost all of my examples of psy tracks were from post-millenium period. I did it meaningly because post-millenium psy trance differentiated from goa more strongly than late 90's psy. Well, I can name tracks that were released after 2005 and which I consider as goa trance (Filteria, Afgin, Ka-Sol, Radical Distortion stuff). At the same time I can name some of late 90's tracks which I consider as psy trance (Killing Joke - Love Like Blood (Deedrah Remix), Four Carry Nuts - Total Recall, Planet B.E.N. - Daily Delay). IMO goa and psy trance have been evolving simultaneously from the late 90's when psy trance differentiated from goa trance till the present day.
It's all about the level of differentiation. The differentiation between trance and blues is deeper than between goa trance and psy trance. The differentiation between psy and goa trance IMO is deeper than between dark psy and full on trance (which I consider as the subgenres of psy). At the same time goa and psy trance have less distinctins than, for example, goa and progressive trance.

I can't see how someone can't group Hallucinogen with Total Eclipse and Man With No Name since they had an almost identical sound back in the day! They were almost always featured in each Psy/Goa compilation with those names anyway. Have you heard Hallucinogen's "Twisted" album? Its full of layers and acid-lines and lead-lines and everything. Ofcourse every artist has his/her/their own style. |
I'm not talking about all the Hallucinogen tracks, just about tracks like Gamma Goblins (Part 2), Snarling (Remix), Magik that are quite unpredictable and have ragged structure - IMO they are the main characteristics which distinguish psy and goa trance. Although leading samples in these tracks may sound closer to Total Eclipse, Man With No Name stuff, than to Xenomorph or Skazi tracks, the whole unpredictable structure of these tracks make them more psy trance tnan goa. Agree that tracks on Twisted album have more common with goa trance than with psychedelic.

There's times when I'm screaming out for something different but there's a select few artists who deliver that & keep me happy
