psy is one of the most open and diverse genres there are. The sub genres go countless. And genres present faults anyway. I bet people come up with a bunch of them, but to me, basically there are 3 main sounds in psytance
1 full on
2 progressive
3 goa |

1 full on: astrix for example, all hommega records should be put under here...
2 progressive such as anything from for example Iboga records
3 goa... this is old skool, stuff like astral projection for example
thats pretty much how i categorized them same with josh |

i hade no idea but this summer i was at ozora in hunagry and there was full on, progressive, and even funky (funky psy..lol- chuckle)- it all sounded the same to me...
however, the super dark evil , that sounds and feels viral, and only makes sense on 6 hits of acid, i do not know how to label... ;-) |

It depends entirely on how big your inventory of records is. If you work for a small shop where Psy is just one of many genres that shoppers can choose from, then you're best off having a psy section, as anyone who likes psy should be able to browse through and find what they're looking for. Conversely, if you work for a large shop, then its a good idea to create subsections within Psy. If you're going to go that route then you should logically create Full-On and Prog subsections and incorporate anything that you think is Goa into the full on section. This way you're essentially telling customers to conveniently choose between the faster (Full-on or Goa) or slower (Prog) subgenres. |

basically i have a vary large directory of Psy, from different countries and many many diffrent styles.
ive encountered Full on, Prog and Goa
thanks Mecca and Josh, i knew you guys will come up with a good help.
but heres the thing, ive encountered, smoothed out, kinda like melodic progressive in a way, then theres also Tech, which is kinda like tech trance in a way.
then theres rock!!! kinda like Infected M. and some other catz.
so what ive been doin latey is sub categorizing each track to the best thing that i can describe it.
maybe ill stick to the main 3. Full on, for harder stuffs, prog and goa.
thanks again for all the help. |

Just break it up into four simple categories. All psy forums and psy groups break it down this way. Dig around if you don't believe me. Each of the four categories has it's own sub category but you don't want to get that deep.
1. Full on
2. Darkpsy (it has become a genre all it's own)
3. Progpsy
3. Isra trance (the cheesy Skazi, IM, Yahel stuff) |
