To be honest the only thing close to psy - trance I listen to is Infected Mushroom, the new album is excellent. Tom
Infected isn't psytrance Their last few albums have been abysmal... Crappy pop trance... Too much cocaine... Cosmo, Blissargon Demogorgon, Parasense, Kindzadza, Penta, Highko, Psykovsky are a few examples of some good dark stuff. Labels like Trishula, Nabi, Stone Age, Mistress of Evil, Doof, Parvati, Peak, Osom, Triplag all release consistently quality darkpsy... www.psyshop.com www.saikosounds.com
i don't like dark stuff in my trance, you you should definitely check out PRANA. I just got GEOMANTIK and it is amazing. oh and to the dude above, INFECTED MUSHROOM is definitely psy-trance! don't bash it just because it's got some pop thrown in but yeah... check 'em both out. rock oooon.
Er, no. It's not psytrance. Psytrance = Psychedelic Trance. There's nothing psychedelic about broken english vocals and predictable melodies. They are no doubt highly skilled at what they do and the production on their records is very tight but it's not psytrance. The older stuff may be considered it but the newer stuff is most definitely not. Listen to some releases from labels like Liquid Recs, Wild Things, Demon Tea, Exogenic, Sonic Dragon (or any of their sublabels), Digital Psionics and Ambivalent and then tell me IM is psytrance... On the Darkpsy front still... Check out Scorb, RAM, Deviant Species, Last Possible Solution Records and all that for some banging UK darkpsy...
leave the IM debate at that I think it's gone on enough throughout all psytrance forums around the world! (and leave IM also, their new album is hardly "trance" and definitely not psychedelic) I gave a looong list of dark psy at psytrance/goa topic. here it is again: Audialize Azax Syndrom Blisargon Demogorgon Candy Power CPC Damage Dark Nebula Dark Soho DarkOhm Dejean Dissociactive Distortion Orchestra Electrypnose Entropy Galaxy Madness Grapes Of Wrath Ghreg On Earth Highcosmos Highko Hishiryo Hokus Pokus Iron Madness Kindzadza Kadasarva Kemic-Al Manifold Mussy Moody Samadhi Silent Scream Twisted System Para Halu Psykovsky Phatmatrix Savage Scream Psyfactor Sungirl Sykespico Jellyheadz Ocelot Fungus Funk Parasense Psychotic Micro Dejan N3Xu5 Digital Talk Horror Place Cosmo Osom Neuromotor Para Halu Parasense Penta Psychomotor Psychotic Micro Seroxat Sesto Sento Terminator Silent Horror Naked Tourist Twisted System Wizack Twizack Xenomorph Yab Yum dark summer enichkin fragletrollet cannibal barbecue atlas melorix melodix quasar donkey shot aeon arabali(mubali vs arahat) terranoise matutero traskel dreamtheif kalilaskov as posk kryptum a.d gorump peyya xikwri neyrra anax arsenic cactus red orestis stranger yassagure pan nakotta vous deux digitalist multistate kraft glooex pasha40 fearkiller darkreaction abandoned noise gidra cymazz flipknot tryambaka phobos azazel alpman astrometrix Bug funk Toxic Datakult The Nommos Double R.E.L.

Check out Faxi Nadu, pretty dark at times http://www.postunder.net/tracks/faxi_nadu_and_spka_-_the_others.mp3
the guy that came with all of those names....nice indeed, buy Ka-Sol isn't Dark enough, his music is what i like to call "Night Forest Goa" BTW, how did you forgot Baphomet Engine?
Night Forest Goa? Sounds promising. Gotta remember that. That's a shitload of bands, btw. :O Care to narrow it down to the 5-or-so best ones? I can't choose between that many different artists.
Baphomet Engine The Nommos Colorbox The Pleaidians Xenomorph Astral Projection L.S.G. Kindzadza Chi A.D. Baphomet Engine is the best dark psy you will ever hear.
