Traditional psychedelic trance has its roots deep in the natural sounds developed in the exotic surroundings of Goa and Thailand and other more primitive locations, close to the heart of nature. But what happens when these sounds are taken into the heart of Tokyo, the thriving metropolis, the city that never stops. Here inspiration is drawn from the towering skyscrapers and feel of asphalt underfoot. It is here that psychedelic trance has evolved into the future trance that is showcased on this release from b.p.f records. This is Psychedelic Future Trance.
The artists on this release are well known to the psychedelic trance community. First we have Charm, the collaboration between the two Tokyo Techno Tribe members Kuro and Tatsuo. More recently known for their releases on Psyristor Trax, their sound is an evolved psychedelic tech-trance that relentlessly pounds dancefloors. This is followed by a solo track from K.U.R.O, from his project that has been producing the classic Japanese psychedelic trance sound since his early releases on Spirit Zone. Third is a track from Tatsuo on his own, presenting his new project Clade. Next is a track from the project Yamabikaya, well known for their album on Shiva Space Technology. They give us two tracks, the second featuring DJ Bin, known for his sets at the Utage Open Air Festival. Then we have the project of TraceCafe’s DJ Tonio, producing as Clutch he also gives us two tracks, the second being a colaboration with Germany’s DJ Aze, well known for his work with the group Charasmatix, who have just released a new album on Candyflip Records. The final track comes from the new progressive psytrance colaboration from Japan, Sativa. This is Double Dragon’s Steve Good, resident DJ at the Stargate parties in Japan, teaming up with another Steve, Steve McLean They have both already drawn a lot of respect from their releases on Iboga Records and Flow Records, and here they provide another fresh leaf of Sativa.
These artists have been chosen to showcase the new sound of Future Trance, psychedelic trance from the heart of Tokyo.

I'm responsible for the recent change in sample type on Saiko Sounds, and would be very interested to hear from anyone having trouble with the new samples (via PMs, please).
Trip - I don't want to use MP3 samples on Saiko Sounds because it's a commonly known fact that MP3 is designed for 128kbps or above, and MP3 in anything below this is a serious degrade in quality. AFAIK only RealAudio and Windows Media Audio are designed to be encoded below 128kbps. If you want to debate this with me feel free, but do it in PMs, as it's a bit off topic for this thread (already going off topic with this post!)
Anakoluth - Did RealAudio previously work in Quicktime? I wasn't aware people were using non-RealAudio players to listen to audio. If QuickTime doesn't play it then it's Apple's fault - I'm using SMIL files where are a globally accepted file format. I suggest downloading RealPlayer - anything from G2 (version 6.0) or better will be fine.
If anyone's curious, I've changed the format of the files from .ram to .smil - SMIL files are a standard that allows more information (in this case, artist name, release title and label) to be passed with the audio files. I felt this allowed for a better experience for the listener.
I'm working on converting the current samples to MP3 and WMA files, but they will be re-encodes of the current RealAudio (would YOU want to re-encode all the Saiko samples from their original sources..?) so the RealAudio will always be the purest samples (although in the future we'll start encoding at all formats from the source.. but that's not happening just yet).
Sorry mods for this thread hijack. If anyone wants to discuss it further take it to PMs.. if there's a whole lot of discussion I'll open a thread somewhere. |
