Thanks to everyone that dropped some knowledge in this thread, you know who you are. I wish that I didn’t have so much work due tomorrow or I would spend today checking all of this music out. I’m still going to go through a chunk of it today.
Thanks for clarifying the difference. It always helps to use music to show the exact difference in genres.
That link is awesome sauce.~ Thanks for the list. I have only checked out the first one and you may have been right about Psytrance. I am anxious to check out the rest.
when you start to listen to more psytrance, you'll find that it's pretty easy to distinguish. psytrance has a rolling bass and 4/4 beat (like in house, trance, techno etc..). psybient just has the psychedelic sounds and melodies that you often hear in psytrance without the 4/4 beat and usually no rolling bass. A lot of psybient will have sort of a breakbeat, which is common in downtempo music.

i actually find this to be a pretty useful resource for navigating the world of emd genres: ishkur's guide v2.5.
his definition of psytrance and the representative tracks capture it pretty well i would say.
