EDIT: wow you rock!! woke up to a huge list lol thanks everyone I ll give everything a try

I need some more psy-trance, like old Infected Mushroom (“None of this is real”, “Albibeno”, “Red Filter!”, “Dracul”, “Astrix on Mushrooms”; not a big fan of their new stuff), because I keep listening to the same songs in a loop, as nothing comes close. I tried Astrix as they often do feat with IM, couple of good songs, but not as elaborate.

    That older infected mushroom is a bit of a original sound, Hallucinogen is in the same class and very good, albums Twisted and The Lone Deranger. I made this playlist of what I feel are stand out goa/psy trance some years ago maybe you’ll find something you’ll like on it, if you don’t use youtube let me know and I can make a list if you’d like

      I started listening, and omg I swear I recognize some sounds from IM! I am 100% sure they reused some of the effects in their songs lol

      Yeah this Hallucinogen is definitely very close to be a substitue for IM

        Hehe that seemed to happen a lot back then, someone found a cool sound and then other producers copied them, I recognize a lot sounds from IM, Shpongle, Hallucinogen, Astral Projection in other productions, they were very influential on the scene at the time. Glad you like Hallucinogen, check out Simon Posford’s other projects too if you’re interested, like Younger Brother (Flock of Bleeps, Last Days of Gravity) with Benji Vaughn is kind of a cross between psy and progressive rock, Shpongle is kind of like dub meets world music meets psy. happy listening :)

    I love Infected Mushroom, and like you, I haven’t been thrilled with their recent releases, and I really don’t have any similar suggestions, but…

    Missio recently dropped a new album, and are worth getting to know if you don’t know them.

    I also listen to a looooooot of Jack White. Just pick anything. Literally anything.

    Check out Koxbox - Forever After. Bit different but my all-time favourite psytrance album easily.

    Are you new to psytrance?

        I’ve never been all in on psytrance but definitely into some of the older IM stuff.

        Here are some artists/albums that I liked. They could be considered psytrance or have at least made songs in that direction, hope you enjoy.

        Atmos - Headcleaner Koxbox - Dragon Tales Koxbox - Forever after Eat Static - Science of the Gods (more psytrancey), Crash and Burn (more eclectic) Juno Reactor - Beyond the infinite (more psytrancey), Shango (more eclectic) Shpongle - Tales of the inexpressible, Museum of Consciousness Texas F*ggott - Petoman’s Peflett Beatport 1 & 2 (compilations)

    We have very different music tastes unfortunately. However, I will try to be some help.

    Have you heard our lord and god… Rush?

    Especially their older albums such as; 2112, Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres. They are solidly Progressive Rock and not Trance.

    After Hemispheres comes “Moving Pictures” which is probably their seminal album as it marks a departure from the format of the previous albums. They become a bit more conventional in the structure of their albums after that period.

    I have to admit, I am someone that gets stuck listening to the same songs over and over as well. My music server is well north of a terabyte in music and I find myself listening to the same thing over and over again. I wonder if I’m wearing a hole in the hard drives sometimes.

    So I can empathize with you.

    Perhaps, I’ll give the artists you mention a real listen and try to expand my horizons. Sometimes it just takes a single song that is pretty awesome to make that happen.

    I’m back with some old Infected Mushroom specific album recommendations.

    1200 Micrograms - “The Time Machine” or “1200 Micrograms”

    Lots of spoken word and rock instruments like some old IM

    Astrix - “Red Means Distortion” or “Artcore”

    Astrix is the other “popular” artist, you mentioned some of his stuff already.

    His compilation album “Psy-Fi Book of Changes” features a bunch of different artists so there’s lots of new stuff you can try out. You can dive deeper on other artists there if you like any of it.

    Hallucinogen - “Twisted”

    Has slower and darker music a bit like IM

    Shpongle - “Museums of Consciousness” or “Are You Shpongled?”

    Same category as above

    At the end of the day though, IM songs like Dracul and Albibeno are pretty unique. The whole Converting Vegetarians album has a (fantastic) sound that is unique to their band and isn’t replicated much elsewhere. In case you haven’t listened to Converting Vegetarians II, make sure to check that out.

    I enjoy Astral Projection’s “Another World” but it’s pretty airy and upbeat compared to what you listen to. Astrix’s “He.art” I really enjoy but its newer and faster.

      “Albibeno” is such an amazing song. It always makes me happy and hopefull for the future lol

      Yes I love Converting vegetarians, i think there isn’t a song of IM that I didn’t listen to …

      The problem I have with Astrix and other is that i wouldnt call their tracks “songs” but mere “themes”. There isnt much of story building/climax, usually it’s just a linear progressio’, and once you heard the beginning, you almlost could guess the ending lol IM is very different in that regard, it’s pretty much unpredictable

    I don’t have many psy-trance recommendations, but I do have a few that are sorta related/similar that you may like:

    -Griz

    -LSDREAM

    -Of the Trees

    These are EDM producers, but they’ve got that kinda psychedelic sound.

    back when i had reliable income and was able to partake in some edibles, I thoroughly got hooked on this one youtube channel called “the Funkyverse”. The guy remixes old sci-fi movie and science film audio into some chunky down-tempo trance, and it is just pure vibe indulgence.

    Another good one is The Psychedelic Muse. These guys are more of a compendium channel and feature other artists in the space, so it’s a bit hit or miss I find. Still lots of good stuff to be had if you don’t mind a bit of digging in the channel archive.

    When I’m in the mood for psytrance, I usually just tune in to one of the streaming Internet radio stations for a fix. There are many ways to do this, but I’m digging the new android app Deutsia Radio (no idea about the name), which is on F-Droid. I just did a search, and 42 results came up - although I know there are some duplicates, there’s enough there for a decent variety.
