Because of my nearly four-week flu, I had a lot of time in front of the tv and computer. I thought I’d found a whole ton of new music and spent waaaay too much time surveying the genres Goa-trance and psy-trance. I did find a ton of great new music, but the survey left me a bit pissed that there is so much effort being spent by technically compitent musicians on such a crap medium. Psy-trance, the latest incarnation of Goa-trance, isn’t so bad. But holy god… the Goa formula of “spacey intro, 808 kick and mindless melange of reverb/delay/flange fx” really started to get me down. I get that conformity to a genre sells tracks, but holy shit… we got enough already. The bucket’s full! Do something different!
