Their newer stuff sounds too similar to Hybrid IMO...their earlier stuff owns though, tracks like 'stargazer' and 'cosmic dancer' were great.

Hm, they seem to be nice guys. I like some of their productions. However, on the whole, I found In Silico to be technically accomplished but it did not seem to stand out to me -- simply because I had heard the likes of BT and Hybrid do a number of the sonic techniques in the album earlier, so I didn't really get a feel that Deepsky's unique style was really standing out. But it's a good continuation if you like more of the same. For example, "Let Me Live" is a nod in parts of "Finished Symphony". I like it.

LOL, funny -- I just posted and then saw your post.
It has to do mainly with some types of effects processing and st-t-t-t-t-ttttttttuttter edits, you're right. Even Hybrid aren't really doing that anymore themselves. They know they've mastered that, so they are moving on.
When's the next Deepsky full-length? late 2004?

I think they're pretty cool. I love the first song of their In Silico album: View From a Staircase (maybe the title is w/ Stairway or something).

They are great producers, most of the music I've heard from them is quality stuff.

It took me a while to appreciate In Silico. It's deeper and more progressive than their earlier work, but technically brilliant and full of depth.
Still, I love Deepsky's hard progressive trance style from the late nineties the most, alongside the productions of Christopher Lawrence, X-Cabs, and Sandra Collins. Deepsky and Cosmic Dancer are just untouchable. I really wish they would make more in this sound, though most everyone who used to play desert trance hopped on the progressive wagon years ago, save Christopher Lawrence.

Its called "View from Stairway" beautifully down with a classical guitar its fucking
Tracks like View from stairway is what makes deepsky stand out from all the others Imo
I Seen them Once along with DlFuse last November here in houston.Although i was a little disapointed with deepskys LIve set which a was little short in my eyes.
