There is loads of music I don`t like or get, but what is the point bitching about it man? I think it`s great we have such a musically diverse festival in Ireland. Nice size crowd, and half the price of the bigger festies. The overall vibe was really positive and can only be a good thing to bring people closer together.

'peace, love, unity, respect' is the motto of the festival, and it seems to be working!

"Peace, Love, Union, Respect", actually.

The English skills of those involved in Neutronyx are unfortunately not the best

Can someone post up a psy trance tune, wondering what the hell that genre is?

This is the current chart for Psy Trance on Beatport: https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/genre/detail/13/psy-trance

In fairness now there is far far more variation in the 10 tunes here than I heard at any stage at Life. To me all the tunes sounded like variations of track 1 and 10

Looks fairly bangin there - any time I passed that stage there were very few people there.

EuskalHerria

Listening to some tracks there, i've heard far worse. Again, music is subjective. Hourses for courses.

If you want psy trance, Hallucinogen's Twisted is the best album going imo.

Huh? It was easily the most crowded stage every night after about 10/11...

QFT. Fantastic album.

Posford played Life as both Shpongle and Hallucinogen in 2008. While Hallucinogen was a little early at 7pm, he threw out Shamanix. It was awesome

It was way too muddy to dance properly that year.
When your feet are bogged down then all you can do is dance in your head.

At this Life festival, does the music go all night or do the stages have to end at a certain hour?

Iit was quite early, 6/7pm, on the last day, and the weather was miserable. Most people were probably chilling out in drier places.

It was also a mudbath and quite hard to move one's feet, let alone jump up and down.

I recall being fascinated by how much the mud stuck me to the ground.

It hindered dancing a bit, but the mud was actually pretty fun that year. I recall lots of people kicking off their shoes and going stomping in it

Hallucinogen - LSD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fH_8e9JYtRs

Thats one cracking track alright....one of my favs:)

Herbal Deity

+1 fantastic tune. Think that's a remix though.

The LSD documentary that all the samples come from - "LSD - The Beyond Within" is great too.

Scubadevils

Yeah that is a remix of LSD alright, the original is without doubt the best version.

Loved a bit of goa trance over the years, never got big into it in terms of vinyl etc but certainly picked up the odd one along the way... worked nicely in heavier acid trance sets too.

Oh and the original mix of LSD by Hallucinogen - first heard this on the 'Voyage Into Trance' mix by Paul Oakenfold, loved that mix back then.

You might like to read this also if your interested......an insight into mesacline & title of the book is where the Doors the band took there name from,

PDF of book

The doors of perception

Wiki link

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Doors_of_Perception

Sample from book

"From the French window I walked out under a kind of pergola covered in part by a climbing rose tree, in part by laths, one inch wide with half an inch of space between them. The sun was shining & the laths made a zebra like pattern on the ground & across the seat & back of the garden chair, which was standing at this end of the pergola. That chair- shall I ever forget it? Where the shadows fell on the canvas upholstery, stripes of a deep but glowing indigo alternated with stripes of incandescence so intensely bright that it was hard to believe that they could be made of anything but blue fire. For what seemed an immensely long time I gazed without even knowing, even without wishing to know, what it was that confronted me. At any other time I would have seen a chair with alternate light & shade. Today the percept had swallowed up the concept. I was so completely absorbed in looking, so thunderstruck by what I actually saw, that I could not be aware of anything else. Garden furniture, laths, sunlight, shadow – these were no more than names and notions, mere verbalizations, for utilitarian or scientific purposes, after the event. The event was this succession of azure furnace doors separated by gulfs of unfathomable gentian. It was inexpressively wonderful, wonderful to the point, almost, of being terrifying. And suddenly I had an inkling of what it must feel like to be mad."

Yup, read that :cool:

Yeah, Remixed by OTT. Class! OTT's own 2 albums are decent too if you like your music chilled and psychedelic. Psybient....

Also actually on the lighter side with Simon Posfords 'Younger Brother' alias, some stunning tracks... as per one of the comments on this first track on youtube, you can really hear Pink Floyd influence in his tracks on this brilliant album.

This is also unreal, could be lifted from one of The Cures albums in the 80s.

I saw Alex Niggemann was on the line-up. Just wondering if anyone saw him what was he like?

He came on after we played, lovely chap - think his heart sank when he realised he was going to be playing deep melodic 130bpm stuff after Bonz and myself had been lashing out DnB for the past 90 minutes! Tent cleared initially but he worked it like a pro and got a decent sized crowd back eventually!


Yeah, Psy-trance... It's the electronic music world's version of Scientology really... More power to you if it's what you're into, not my thing at all. Highlight Tribe were brilliant though!

I find it funny that ravers going to an underground dance festival like Life slag off certain genres of dance music. Its a ****ing dance festival you clowns with many genres of dance music for all tastes.

Psytrance is amazing music in my opinion. I'm not a big fan of techno but some of my mates love techno and fair play to them and i appreciate all genres of dance music because each one brings its own unique flavour and strong following to the dance scene. We all like dance music in some shape or form but its childish slagging off Psytrance because its not your thing.

I can just picture some of the clowns posting on this thread walking past a psytrance tent and turning their nose at everyone having a good dance and enjoying themselves and then 5 minutes later, standing by the techno tent with a smug look on their face as if they know something that nobody else knows. :rolleyes:

For those of you who are not into psytrance, fair enough, but don't slag the genre off. Its disrespectful to Neutronyx and everyone else whos hard work has got Life festival the respect it deserves. Rant over .

Some Beautiful Music for the Soul for all you Psytrance fans out there.
