I have also known psy(chedelic) trance to be known as Goa trance if that helps!!!
My mate has loads of stuff on minidisk but I can't quite remember any names at the moment. Not much help really, sorry. I'll just get back to my teatime.
Yes, psy trance is short for psychedelic trance which was previously known as goa trance. It was called goa trance because a lot of the Dj's spinning it were often livin' it up in Goa, India having mad psychedelically enhanced beach trance parties. When it became popular (94-96), there were a lot of melodies in the music, but over the years the melodic psychedelic sound has unfortunately grown into the boring minimal techno sound. So a lot of the "pioneers" are now making crap. There are a lot of psy trance djs (I'm one of them!), but DJ Goa Gil was the "original" psy trance dj... He still plays professionally and internationally today; usually for 14-20 hours at a time! (he plays the whole party) His website: http://www.goagil.com/ Psy trance FAQ: http://www.deliria.org/faq.html Some big names in psy trance: Hallucinogen Shpongle X-Dream Astral Projection Logic Bomb Etnica Plieadians Some big psy trance labels: Flying Rhino T.I.P.
