The Psychedelic Thread

[sarasin]

What i find lacking in Psy is the musical aspect. I mean real music. Not something catchy like a ringtone.... Something thats shelf life is longer than three months. Its melody and structure...sure. But so much is copy paste....formula.

Sarasin, I agree wholeheartedly in regards to music. That, in my mind, is what is lacking the most from a lot of EDM. It's all about the hook, not the actual music behind it. But that's why I've been digging into Prometheus. There is definitely something more interesting going on in there.

Yeah i definitely curb toward the more melodic side, always have. Its gotta be fat like a motherfucker, but i stilll like a bit of structure, melody etc. Of course there is a LOT of shit out there these days as more producers jump on the bandwagon, ya just gotta dig dig dig to find those gems!

It's very true. I think it's the case with most genres of music.

It amazes me, though, when I load in a 10 minute track, and it's literally just 32 measure sections, the same drum sounds and bass line for 8 of those minutes with a 2 minute breakdown of a cheesy synth line, and someone deemed this worthy of being put on a compilation.

Yeah you gotta watch the track selections on comps these days. A few years ago if you were a bit short on tracks then comps were the way to go, but not so much now. Thats why i stick to a few well knwn labels that i know always put out quality. Its easy with Goa as there's pretty much only two labels right now anyway, as its just creeping back, suntrip and phototropic
The twisted stuff is always class, as is TIP World, althooough i did get the new white album and thre were a couple of "what the fuck, electro" tracks in there lol.

I've had luck with a few labels. I'm hoping to win the Superbowl pool we got going so I can afford new Psy. That's my next big purchase

[Jester]

superbowl eh lol
i went to a game in LA as a kid, confused the shit outa me

[DvlsAdvct]

Hey, it confuses the shit outta me too

But I don't need to pay attention to win the $1000

Bet those players would think twice before getting tackled by a 130 kilo Maori with no pads on

I think they'd think twice about getting into any serious altercation with someone who knows what they are doing.

Cause then they'd lose their multi-million dollar contracts and their fame and their sponsorships and all that stuff that makes them worth something.
