The Best Psychedelic Trance I've heard

Awrite I heard through all of Funraiser and it was really good. Maybe 1 or 2 fillers in the middle but overall it was definitely up there. Added!

Added Riino - Brainsucker and Pzylo - Candyflipping. I just had to hear the first minute of Candyflipping to know it would be great :)

The Best Psychedelic Trance I've heard

It is Done is good. I love those thick, swirling synths. What stands out about this style is that it's dark psytrance but dark without trying to overwhelm you with glitchy sounds and basslines that are overkill, but that it's more 'artistic' darkpsy. What would be your favourite Penta album? I could give that a listen, because it's always nicer to listen to an album as opposed to single tracks here and there. In Disgusting Little Creatures I needed some more coherency in the flow, and Olympia didn't grab me.

Looks like Funraiser might be the album to check out, seeing the two Penta tracks on this list, 'Detonator' and 'It is Done' are from it.

IM's Acid Killer needs to be more acidic to get on this list. It's good but it doesn't cross the 'acid threshold' mentioned at the beginning of this article. Acidline, hmm, felt like acid for the sake of it. It'll take some time to get my hands on Brainsucker, but I will give it a listen.

Why I'm not enamoured of television

Sounds pretty boring to me. The great thing about the Internet is you have control over what you want to watch. I just look up promising TV shows and have the Internet bring them to me instead of settling for whatever is programmed that day.

Listen to Shift - Kapitol! Heh. I do listen to some of the high BPM glitch darkpsy (actually glitch dark psy is a good way of putting it) when the flow of the track and the synths do form some sort of rhythm. Furious is a good example of that. But when it's glitch for the sake of glitch then I tune out. I feel you need something for the mind and for the body. That's what trance is about. Twilight does get cheesy but it's made for the dance-floor and not for home listening, and twilight really does work for me on the floor. People rave about Kindzadza but I haven't been able to get into it completely, I should probably give it another listen. I really liked Psykovsky's Tanetsveta, a lot more than his previous work. I've actually seen him live ;) His live set was difficult to take though, very very dark and intense. It was only when he took it down a notch or two that people could start getting into it. Also, if you like glitch, you can try M.E.E.O. - Highlight Me Please for normal psy glitch.

You don't actually. I don't think my generation bothers with television anymore to be honest. The Internet FTW!

Listened to both tracks a number of times. I tried, but I couldn't get into Solar System Part 2. Sincity is a def a good track, it just takes a long time to build. The good part starts at 5:00 and the track is 7:25 long. If he started did what he did at 5:00 earlier in the track and developed it a bit more I think it would have been a great track.

It's currently listed as "Pump Panel - Confusion" but should it be "New Order - Confusion (Pump Panel Reconstruction Mix)"?

Added the Fab 23s track! Good stuff. There has to be some element of harmony & build, it can't just be acid thrown at you. Some Hard Acid Techno/Acidcore becomes just acid for the sake for acid and that's not fun.

Damn, that is good! That beat is pumping. Solid acid line on top. I don't discriminate between acid genres, all acid is welcome ;) I just listen to a lot of trance so my lists slant towards trance.

The best of Goa Trance - top artists, albums and tracks

Ah I see. Yeah I haven't heard anything about the scene in Argentina. I did see an Argentinian psy trance artist live one. Name's Glosolalia http://www.tantrummrecords.com/artist_glosolalia.html You should check Isratrance Latin America section http://forum.isratrance.com/forum-south-and-latin-america/ There will definitely be a scene, even if it is small, so just search around :) Like you said, you have to dance to this music at a party to understand it fully :)

Drumtastic & Bassalicious Music I like (Drum & Bass | Dubstep | Breakbeats | Jungle | Breakcore | Hardcore | Industrial )

Seriously, so much music, so little time.

Sorry for the slow reply. At this rate, my 'to be listened to' folder is going to grow out of control into this monstrous thing that engulfs the universe. So much music to listen to! Xanopticon - Liminal Space is great. That actually reminds me, I have to give it a few listens and see if it should be on this list or not. Even plays around the LA area occasionally afaik, so I hope to catch him live sometime.

Any specific recommendations from those three projects? I ask because listening through each discography one by one will take more time than I have.
