more banging trance

astrix's eye to eye hit the doormat this morning. if you like psy-trance / infected mushroom / shpongle / astral projection, etc. then it's a no brainer to buy - if you can find it.
cheers

Bought that back in October - saw him launch that album at the Stratford Rex, on my first EVER rave - along with Infected Mushroom and BLT. I won't forget it in a hurry - Astrix RULES!

By the way - the version of Scientific Reality on there has been remixed (subtly) and appears on Full on 6 - Trance Waves as an even more banging version!

If you like that, you should try out X-Dream's Radio as well Julian

 

what an introduction. wish i was there....
i'll check out x-dream too.
cheers

Tried to listen once to Prodigy, almost had tinnitus.
What's a better trance listen?

I wouldn't class the Prodigy as trance. To me trance is cheesy wave your hands in the air fake ass Goa shite But hey, that's my shallow knowledge (and mindedness ) of the genre at work.

The prodigy are MOre erm...... experience was a bit of a "hardcore" thing, with the following albums being a bit MOre along the lines of a techno, pop, hip hop, breakbeat punk thing.

 

Is that as in stratford east london?

Another shit tip I stayed a little bit up the road from there a while back for a few MOnths. Forest gate, Maryland, Stratford.... lovely people!

orbital "middle of nowhare" is quite a good album.
eat statics implant, abduction science of the gods etc, all good.

or even leftfields leftism (classic album) or rythme and stealth.

 

i use to have a tape of the universe crew, twas wicked
cant find it now and probably wouldnt sound as good as back then

 

Orbital, now that sounds familiar. I have their Altogether, a mighty good mix. FFRR (Full Frequency Range Recording) claim works well here. IMO, my system's not that maxed out for this though.

I'm confused. To me *trance* is bongo's and digereedoos. I'm sure there's MOre to it than that, and as with any genre it'll have sub genres. And i'm sure there's one there for me. But a lot of what I hear called trance is cheese IMO hands in the air like you just don't care and all that.

I'd agree with leffield (and your other artists) being top banana. And leftism is indeed a classic. But is this what people class as trance?

 

dunno, thers so many different catagories nowadays its hard to keep track.

 

Just remembered what the universe disc was
Tribal gathering
Anyone got a copy they want to offload??

 

Apart from the album mentioned at the start of the thread, nobody hear has actually named any trance after that in this thread. Prodigy, trance? Erm not quite. Their earlier stuff was a bit ravey, the middle album was more techno, and the last album was techno "punk" almost.

Thanks for the suggestion Julian, I'll check it out.

Proper trance is stuff like Jimmy Van M, DJ Tiesto, Underworld, Astral Projection, Infected Mushroom, Hallucinogen etc...

BTW, I am absolutley hooked on the Lone Deranger by Hallucinogen at the minute. That is their best album IMO, so dark and moody, its great stuff.

I've just bought the Karma Collection, Oakenfold - Bunkkam, William Orbit - Pieces in a modern style, and The Adventures of Shindig volume 1 (shindig being the best trance nightclub in Newcastle).

 

Leftfield isnt trance, its more downtempo electronic to me. And that "throw your hands up in the air" shite isnt trance either.

 

i can only think of one underworld track that could be trance
the rest is, er, boring

 

Well I seen that coming. Paul has promptly pointed out that not all trance is cheese. And i've just had born slippy playing. If this is what you class as trance then i'm a fan of it. Paul claims the last 10ish mins of this is what he'd class as trance.

This appeals. Never thought of it as trance but see where he's coing from.

MOre of the same please

 

yer, its all down to what the listener decides he wants it to be, within reason

 

OK, underworlds a bad example I suppose. I'd say stuff like Hallucinogen, Astral Projection and that sort of thing is mainly what I'd class as trance really...

 

yer
but it all gets called something different by others, but i do concur with your deffinition.

 

im more of a hard house man my self so trance is something i no little about.if i listen to stuff that i class as trance is usually still bouncy stuff.
