References from es:Trance psicodélico

I don't do nothing more for this article, I am new and I know that many people revert this constantly and for the people that don't know about this kind of counterculture many of the artist doing the music for free, the shows, many of them are free too, so is quit difficult to determine the level of popularity or relevance if have not sell --Hipergeo (talk) 06:25, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Psytrance musical definition

"Psytrance is constructed using a bassline of 16 equally spaced beats per measure. When played at an approximate speed of 140-150 beats per minute, this vibrating 16-beat Psytrance bassline, creates an frequency of rhythmic energy which is identical to one of the four major frequencies of energy that are present in our central nervous system. This frequency, referred to as the Alpha wave, is most prevalent during periods of high alertness and low anxiety. This means one's mind is able to synchronize with the familiar pattern present in Psytrance, resulting in significant mental stimulation, increased physical energy, and decreased stress. Simply by focusing on this powerful music, one instantaneously becomes motivated to dance, exercise, etc. with greater intensity, and a more positive mood! This makes for one of the most powerful dancing experiences one could ever imagine, providing an unbelievable amount of dance floor energy, and a positive, welcoming vibe from its followers, which allows Psytrance events to last several days, sometimes even more than a week at a time, through the rain or shine.

In other words, Psytrance events are MAGICAL! Music lovers, artists, meditators, students, painters, scientists, engineers, inventors, professors, adventurers, fun-lovers, and high energy people alike can find something to enjoy in these events!"

Oh come on, this entire section has no place in an encyclopedia. --86.129.109.215 (talk) 13:24, 27 July 2009 (UTC)


"Psybreaks or psychedelic breakbeat is a form of psychedelic trance originating in the mid 2000s, splicing breakbeat basslines and rhythms into otherwise heavily psytrance-influenced tracks."

Psybreaks is around for over ten years now. The first psybreaks album was probably "The Third State" (1998) by Digitalis. Maybe someone who has more knowledge about the origins could fix this? What emerged in the mid 2000s is the fusion of psytrance with nu skool breaks. But Psybreaks itself is older. 92.74.123.223 (talk) 22:31, 8 September 2009 (UTC)psycho


"Arguably the first commercially released Goa trance tune came in ’88 and is accredited to the KLF with What Time Is Love."

Um, no. Just NO. This is a joke, right? Greenie2600 (talk) 03:39, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

I totally agree. "What Time Is Love?" was KLF's intentionally commercial take on Acid House. sugarfish (talk) 22:32, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

[edit] start of the movement - sentences removed

By ’85 all Goa music was electronic and people were constantly searching for new music to remix into the new Goa-style. It was impossible to buy this type of music in stores; even today most psytrance sales take place over the net rather than in physical shops. Arguably the first commercially released trance tune came in ’88 and is accredited to UK acid house outfit the KLF with What Time Is Love. However, at the same time Goa music was being created by pioneers like Art of Trance, Juno Reactor, Eat Static and The Infinity Project.

removed these sentences. the first one should have citation needed tag on the date and sentence. second one doesn't seem relative - at that time, there was no 'net' as we know it today. KLF track sentence needs citation also, and doesn't seem relevant - as mentioned above in Talk page, this song is Acid House, not trance in any case, so the sentence is still incorrect (I'm guessing the editor wanted to compare other electronic music styles' music at the same time?). final sentence contradicts the dates, even by initial check of the artists listed's WP pages - none have releases listed as 1988 - they all seem to start early/mid 1990s. I've heard of them, but not sure they're relevant for this section - could be included in another. Kathodonnell (talk) 14:03, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Underground

I've removed this section for the following reasons;

  • It's uncited. Where can this be verified?
  • It's vague. "a side project was established by pioneers", "a few numbers of handpicked DJs" - who are these people? "´real Psychedelic` parties" - what are these?
  • It's weaselly. "The sound of this music reportedly contains" - only "reportedly"? Wikipedia prefers to contain facts, not unattributed hearsay.

Good call. I have no idea what this meant in any case.--SabreBD (talk) 19:35, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
