False

IM is crap now? Thats the stupidest statement ever, their productions are incredible now, of course not the same feel as the old stuff, but its very respectable in its own style. IM is on a big rise right now, if you think theyre getting commercial, it may be partly true, but that doesnt mean their still the ONE and ONLY Infected Mushroom.

IM rules

No questions asked

Ill even make a statement that will get some of you all pms and angry:
Infected mushroom is the GREATEST electronic music band that has ever existed up to now.

And astrix rules too.

I get the impression that there is a difference. Isn't Goa more "Spiritual", whereas Psy is more Trippy.

BTW

Another vote here for Astrix although I'd say that "Artcore" is a better listen than "Eye to Eye".

Splitting hairs really.

Goa is just old skool psy. Electronic music that came out of the Goa party scene (which is now largely dead and has been for years).

Psy is just a continuation of Goa Trance, but outside Goa. Its kind of world wide almost. Its different and its moved off in a different direction but I wouldn't say one is more 'spiritual' than the other. Thats a personal thing. How spiritual you find a certain type of music depends on the emotional weight you place on it. Hell, pop could be a spiritual thing if you were really into it.

Exactly. Though i won't say that goa and psy are that different. Same thing with "minimalism". To me it seems like people are just going back to really old school rave music when trance and rave first started. The tracks then were extremely simple and "minimal". Its just one big circle that makes everybody think that they were the first to discover something that had been done years before.

This is probably the best, most succinct way of describing the difference.

Music is always changing. Its just a necessary progression.

djs play whichever music accomodates the crowd at a particular event. this doesnt mean they dont play trance anymore. pvd would play more techy stuff at love parade but it wouldnt be received well at cream so there he would play trance. djing is about diversity, any dj who sticks to one style wouldnt be very popular.
