Juho im sorry but i believe you contradicted yourself there son
I agree with purusha - in any given genre you have to wade through a lot of average releases to find the truly inspirational and original material.
psytrance and its sub-genres have been over ridden with freaks on pcs with loads of burnt software and a soundblaster soundcard.
Please place a solid distinction between hard house/euro trance and psytrance. These are two vastly differently styles of music and scenes and it is not fair to throw them in the same basket. (sorry to hard house lovers - not my cup of tea).
Psychedelic trance to me is a little too much. i overload on too many layers, especially when there are 20 odd of them - all arpeggiated and all with ridiculous fx and panning.
But from psytrance the progressive genre was born. It focuses on a more minimal sound, intricate rhythms, and clean production. Labels such as Zenon and Plusquam records have been promoting their own style of this genre for some time now and if you gave some of this stuff a listen, you could not deny the quality of the arrangements, nor the sheer musical genius that some of these guys possess.
be careful to bag a genre/style before you have really looked into whats
available... im not sure too many here wouldve appreciated me jumping on here and saying 'that john-nickel-jar guy suck arse'
