The documentary was ok, but the background music was horrid.



Just kidding I love psytrance. lol

er.... wha? why no upvote obsidianfire?

Dontchya hate that when that happens? Here's yer upvote dj.

Oh, yea, I was somewhat on the front end of this when Tangerine Dream came out with their first album in about 1974. Nice stuff.

Really nice look into a world I never really gave two thoughts about before. I wish it had video though because I can only get so much out of a slideshow.

This makes me want to go hippie flipping. I don't know though, psytrance parties always seem dirty to me, figuratively and literally. I should do it more often, but I guess I prefer my safe, if sterile, LA trance and house clubs.

Nice music, but seems kind of soft too me. I can't realy understand the link between the paintings and the music. When I hear this music I think about lasers and stuff but not about pictures like Budah...

Thanks djsunkid. Discovering this video just made my day.

I absolutely love psytrance. I totally identify with the narrator's statement - "We would look at each other confounded - 'like is this actually happening?'. And the only proof of this strange experience occurring was the eye contact".

When I first fell in love with this music I couldn't believe what was happening to me. There was a temptation to attribute magical/spiritual qualities to this music because no music had ever spoken to me like that. My first reaction was proselytizing. Whenever a psytrance track would hit me hard I would try to find a friend and share the track with them, thinking that it would have the same effect on them. How could it not? It took me several lukewarm reactions to outright ridicule to realize that this music does not have universal appeal. One of my best friends at the time said that - "this music sounds like robotic clowns farting". I find humor in his response now but at the time his reaction made me feel really sad that he couldn't experience this amazing thing that was happening to me. But since then I have come to realize that this experience is universal and is known by many different names, my favorite being - 'flow'. There is usually something in almost everyone's life that makes them feel like the way the narrator of this video feels at a psytrance party. It sounds like psytrance and painting induce flow in djsunkid. A good book on the subject is "Flow: The Psychology of optimal Experience".
