I've always found psytrance (even while tripping face on LSD), to be kind of boring.
But hear me out here: its not that I don't like the music, in fact I've heard some very good psytrance tracks (for instance a couple of tracks that our friend swilow made are very high quality pieces of music, some of the best psy I've heard TBH -- I think because the melodies are spot on and I'm a sucker for a great melody. I'm also, of course, a fan of the classics like shpongle, hallucinogen, ott, infected mushroom, et al.).
The reason that I think that psytrace is a bit boring, though, is because there's no interaction between musicians -- its computerized and not spontaneous; which bothers me a lot. I'm obsessed with the phenomenon of creating music absolutely
in the moment as a cooperative creative energy between musicians. I'm a huge fan of bands that incorporate elements of trance into their improvised music; one band that does this superbly is Perpetual Groove. If anybody is interested in hearing a great live show of theirs (that I was at, incidentally :D) you should definitely check
this out (part one is actually the bottom one on the playlist, which is kinda weird, but start on that one -- the music starts at about 1minute 25seconds in, I guess the guy was a bit late plugging into the soundboard). I think some of you psy guys might find it interesting, and if you like making psy tracks you might be able to get some inspiration from their take on synthesizing the genre into their broader approach towards music in general.
Anyways, I'm not trying to diss psytrance, its great music no doubt. I'm just throwing one of my opinions out there. What can I say, though, I'm a Deadhead and live improvised music is my cup of tea. Much love to my psytrance brothers and sisters, though.
