It often has many dub influences and can also sound somewhat like glitch. Psybient pieces are often structured around the concept of creating a “sonic voyage” or “musical journey”. Although similar to psytrance’s emphasis on maintaining non-stop rhythm throughout the night, psybient is far more focused on creating a vast soundscape that can be experienced over the length of an album, focusing less on beatmatching and allowing for a myriad of tempo changes. Some of the most popular and genre leading psybient artists include:

Shpongle
Ephemeral Mists
Entheogenic
Shulman
Ott
Third Ear Audio
Doof
Warp Technique
Yestegan chaY
Younger Brother
G.A.N. 665+1
The Infinity Project
Pitch Black
The Mystery Of The Yeti
Celtic Cross
Androcell
Carbon Based Lifeforms
Sync 24
Solar Fields

The first psychill tracks appeared as the compulsory "chill out" tracks at the end of Goa trance albums and compilations. Psychill originated, like psytrance, in the smallest state in India, Goa. Because of the heat, humidity, and dust in Goa, the birthplace of Goa trance, DJs tended to use cassette tapes or DATs instead of vinyl records. As a result, beatmatching was very hard. As a solution to the dilemma, a production technique developed of having relatively long atmospheric portions in each track, which would allow a DJ to easily mix two tracks of different tempos without having them clash.These short periods that were free of heavy, bass driven beats acted as "chillout" periods for those who were dancing (or "tripping") to relax and regain their energy for the next track. These atmospheric interludes in the Goa trance parties were the roots of the psybient/psychill genre. One of the best places to listen to free psybient music is

If I'm not mistaken, the sample in the beginning is the poem "An autumn night" (秋夕) by the Tang dynasty poet Du Mu (杜牧). The original in Chinese is:
銀燭秋光冷畫屏，
輕羅小扇撲流螢。
天階夜色涼如水，
坐看牽牛織女星。

And in English it would mean something close to:

Autumn light
From a white candle
On a cold moonlit screen.
A silk fan
Catching glow-worms
On the fly.
Long into the dark evening
She sits on the palace steps,
Forgetting cool night
As she watches the Cowherd Star
Meeting his Weaver Girl, high in the sky.



Wilbur Jenkins

Enjoy.

Partitions

We chase joy as if it will never taint our memories
and avoid hurt as if it will never inspire us better
Peeling loose threads away like they don't belong
We hide weakness when knowing we are wrong
Open; we crave to find something in between
while our closed eyes dine on dreams
Our own hope fights us, pushing us
into enlightened blindness
A feigned cost
that prevents us from becoming
what we have lost
Smothered by joys beholden
we delve into despondency
in our attempt to placate it
Pleasure is just love yet to be lost
and pain is just love yet to be had
They are one in the same
each having two sides
an edge to cut
or a brush to paint
and yet we still strive
unknowing that love
will always be our greatest sorrow.

A thousand years is but an instant.

There’s nothing new, nothing different; same pattern over and over. The same clouds, same music, the same things I felt an hour or an eternity ago. There’s nothing here for me now, nothing at all.

Now I remember, this happened to me before. This is why I left.

You have begun to find your answers. Although it will seem difficult the rewards will be great. Exercise your human mind as fully as possible knowing that it is only an exercise. Build beautiful artifacts, solve problems, explore the secrets of the physical universe, savor the input from all the senses, filled with joy and sorrow and laughter, empathy, compassion, and tuck these emotional memories in your travel bag.

I remember where I came from, and how I became human, why I hung around, and now my final departure’s scheduled:

This way out, escaping velocity. 
Not just eternity, but 
Infinity.

I was listening to this when my grandma walked in the room and said "this is trippy". It took me a few minutes to remember that my grandma has been dead for 20 years.

Insert name here:

Clearly she was right about it being trippy then!

Fishing Wizard

I'm sure that actually happened

This song was so much ahead of time that the genre hasnt still reached it.

@fadedsun303 Trust us, it's NOT only based on musical inspiration, it's something else. Something Ineffable. Impossible to grasp, Impossible not to see.

Bryce Olson

@Nikola Tesla yeah and like 99% are garbage compared to shpongle

Slump_Nuggie

@Nikola Tesla psy-trance is what they are labeled under but have you ever seen how they make their music. They use real instruments unlike most DJ's/Producers that are labeled under the same genre. If you've ever seen their live band shows it is something special. I would say the only other person that is slightly reminiscent is Ott. Especially when he plays with the all seeing eye

Slump_Nuggie

@fadedsun303 I think he meant ahead of it's time as in no one really makes music quite like sphongle. It's true that every single piece of music is a derivative of past sounds and songs of the last, but this has its roots in so many different genres it's hard to put a label on what sphongle is. They have a sound unlike any other and for that reason they are ahead of their time. ESPECIALLY when their music came out almost two decades ago. People since then have tried to mimick their sound but no one does it quite like shpongle. So in that since they are ahead of their time. Trailblazers in the music industry. Defying genres with their own unique sound
