thirdform, why do you have a plus sign next to your name in the who's online and people viewing the thread list? AFAIK you're the only person who has one.

Is there a distinction between psy and goa trance? One time in India there was this crazy shit (I assumed it was goa trance, although this was way down south in another state) being played at a very chill beach side cafe. It was basically a kick and then a bunch of found sounds/foley/field recordings playing these abstract rhythms. Really raw and abrasive. Didn't fit the setting at all, but that made it all the better. Was like danceable music concrete

And yeah. Wow. Psy. Tried really hard to get it. Has to be something about it, right? Can't be that big and have that dedicated a following if it's shit, right? There's got to be some gems! Met a supposedly well known dj at that Buddhist place in October. Asked her to play me her secret weapons. Her darkest, trippiest shit. Fkn nada, man. Emotionless. Have you ever listened to it.... On acid?

yeah listened to it on ket+acid even, was just annoying. it's those 16th note basslines that really vex me digga digga digga. it's not even emotionally terrifying in a grubby way like Bunker shit, which i would have enjoyed

think the difference is goa is melodic/early but psy isn't? I have no idea tbh. that danceable music concrete doesn't sound like either, unless



but yeah i much prefer the darker space synth/euro/italo that came before goa trance which i think is 92-93 onwards.

They had a head start, they're the closest

The Portuguese cut their colonial teeth in the Indian Ocean, not the New World. They literally only found Brazil by mistake when a ship was blown off course rounding West Africa.
They were proper bastards out in the Indian ocean - shelling, massacring, blockading, building forts wherever they went. The only serious opposition they faced early on was the Turks, funnily enough, but ultimately the Turks were shit at sailing ships and got put back in their box. Piri Reis nicked all his maps.

The Portuguese set the tone for later colonialists by being trigger-happy, plundering arseholes from ocean to ocean, right from the start.

We can blame the Portuguese for most of the world's ills, they started the Atlantic slave trade too.

Idlerich is basically supporting the rump of a once world-spanning Fascist regime by living there.
