i guess its a subjective matter man... for me it's harder to find something i really like in all genres. don't know maybe it's only me. if you say you're enjoing in now more than evey i'm happy for you man. i don't usually complain about this issue but in the spirit of this thread i wrote my apocalyptic thoughts.

Lol, i cannot recall a goa track from before 1999 that was any good.

Everything after to me..is the SAME SONG by different artists. Yesterday, i was listening to 7 songs from hallucinogen, they were all the same song with a diffrent kick, lead sound, and melody. Everything else was identical. And its always this minimal sounding stuff...like at first its a clash of weird samples and vocals that someone stole...then its a breakdown to bass and beat only. Then its a poppy or squiggly sound with an off-key melody.....then more stolen samples play as the beat gets fast paced...then there is a long kick/snare drum roll which cuts off to either a pad, or a bass+kick motion. more random sounds repeat everything once. only this time add in a secondary lead which is either squiggly or poppy [depends on the firstsound...]...which cuts out to more stolen samples from star trek and 5th element [btw..i have a track with samples from star trek and 5th element ]

I think originality is based alot of times on the purpose of the song. A song that is made to have dance floor use..has to follow fourtyleven guidelines for it to get play...

But, something that is made for listening [ not for dancing??!?! omg!!!] has no bounderies. Its a track made for any system or setup...and doesn't have a defined purpose..so there is no defined limit.

Personaly, i never make tracks for the dance floor. they are meant to listen to. They don't convey a message either...they effectivly have no 'purpose' other than for people who like them..to enjoy them.

Comercial music's only purpose is to make money.

After the shitstorm you've already stirred up elsewhere today, I'm not sure why I'm responding, but my answer is this:

Confidence.

Everything before '99 is no good and everything after is the same song. 1999 must have been a good year for you.

I know im not talking, but if overstimulation is the problem people need to put down the video games and go walk through the woods its very stimulating in fact more stimulating. so its not over stimulation its overdose of artificial disposable stimulation, and istant gratification. Any disposable instant pleasure pursuits will eventually lead to a tolerance. Tolerance to fun to a substance to an emotion to activity, and so on.

Speakafreaka - ur responding coz everyone loves a villain.

Anyway
Money is a created out of thin air as a representation of assets turned into collateral for debt or just plain work to be performed(debt). this value is traded (using money) depending on utility to the people who trade it. i.e. they are willing to work an 8 hour day for x haircuts, and beers and cars etc.

So simply money facilitates the exchange of real value (i.e. the work people will do for other stuff they need/want).
So then Can anyone tell me Y it should be wrong for musicians to want to trade their music for something worthwhile (like services to be performed etc) instead of sweet nothing?

Commercialism is about investment (making your money work instead of you) - and it isnt evil. U guys should be trying to get a piece of the pie instead of complaining that it corrupts values. Money is ethically neutral.
Corrupted values in music are entirely the fault of the dumb masses who consider crap music to have value.
heretical

Psytrance, house, techno and DnB are certainly distinct styles of electronic dance music, but that's not the case with "melodic darkpsy" or "dark prog" IMHO.
Coming up with new names for small variations on older styles is not really what I'm talking about, hence I used the word "distinct" when asking for new styles of rock.



Those styles of metal mentioned are easily as different as IDM is to psytrance. Its not this absurd "melodic full on dark" ideas that permiate psytrance.
The biggest reason for the lack of originality and good music in psytrance is that the current crop of artist are largely inbred.The guys pre 2000 brought their musical influences TO psytrance, not influenced BY psytrance since there was not much time before then to be influenced.

Probly something more productive than just bantering back and forth is to post music that is inspiring because of its originality that is not psytrance and try to understand what makes it original. I've recently gotten very into Lisa Gerrard and Dead Can Dance. This one of the most amazing pieces of music i've ever heard. Almost supernatural singing, combining opera and middle eastern vocal styles. If she was just trying to sing an opera it wouldnt sound original but the combining patterns from different sources that have not been combined in a musicaly great way is what makes for originiality. Then factor in her pure technical mastery of her vocal cords..and you get music that seems almost supernatural, her voice morphs from a man to a woman almost.






this song sounds like its almost channeled from a beautiful spirit world






shpongle has nothing on this song






Also just to mention, none of this music would be possible make without an extreme technical mastery of music. Sure you could make something that sounds somewhat similar with some ripped vocal samples and typing a few notes into a sequencer but no one will give a fuck.
