I'm a fairly big fan of all the oldy stuff like kaleidoscope, zombies, velvet underground, floyd etc and was just thinking if that kind of music is regarded as being the same as what psytrance is today. Perhaps thats where psytrance got its name? I dont know! But in the 60s that genre was definately the alternative music to listen to. Nowadays there is alternative rock/pop but its not really THAT alternative is it? Perhaps in 40 years time, more people will have heard of psy and they will look back to this time and see it as a progression from the old 60s stuff.
During the 70s and 80s, i think bands like joy division and the smiths were seen as the "alternative". I'm not too sure cos i wasnt around much then. But if that is the case (perhaps it can be argued) then my musical tastes seem to have followed a pattern from decade to decade.
My oh my how it has evolved!
(kinda hoping for a musical discussion btw!)

I've had that kind of thing a few times!
Tonto's Expanding Headband?? Used to play some in me chill out sets. My White Bicycle by Tomorrow (1967) clocks in at 145 bpm, as does You Shouldn't Do That by Hawkwind (1971). I would say people like Steve Hillage and dare I say it, Raja Ram are the link factors between the 60's and 70's stuff with modern day psychedelic trance. If you need any recommendations, then let me know.
