Psy will always have a special place in my heart, thanks to a lot of early/mid 90's acts that have already been mentioned in this thread

Couple of old fav's;

As I always say, it took a nosedive into the mud after X-Dream made Radio and everyone wanted to sound like them. After that it's pretty much been in the same poor state creatively as any other genre of electronic music that becomes immensely popular.

Blue Room Released still released some of the best electronic music in the world, though. This, this, this and this are all brilliant.

edit: Might as well use this opportunity to plug my Goa/acid techno mix.

Then you probably haven't heard proper psy.. Or done proper drugs.

edit: Norway says hello.

it doesnt take much, just a subtle amount of acid, shrooms, or cactus is all it takes for it just come alive and sound so intense. friends of mine make this kind of music and play it live, like at this party (thats them playing it live, to the right and behind of my camera):

they make psy/goa thats different from everything else i heard, its more housy and slower.

I actually like the slower goa and psy stuff. Oakenfold's goa Essential Mix starts off around 130 BPM and the first track (Grace - "Skin on Skin" Orange Mix) is one of my favorite trance tunes of all time.

Love it. Especially the new-style goa thats been coming out of Suntrip et al. A lot of the old stuff is very good too, although a lot of it sounds extremely dated now.

I love it although lately its getting harder and harder to find the type of fullon sound that I love. Some hate that sound and call it cheesy but I personally love it.

I like Suntrip though i think some of the music that comes out of there plays so close to all the old goa conventions it becomes a little silly, really. It's a bit like they're reciting rather than creating something original.

i cant fuck with it.

Posted by tolutolu on Jun-13-2009 09:23:

I agree, there is a lot of great stuff. This is probably my favorite Goa song. Great for dancing to also, and thats all I really care about

I like the genre. I mix it constantly with other genres of trance and it sound good together.

huge fan. Became a fan with the old pulse, goa head, order donata and destination goa comps. Nowadays it�s mostly progressive but still some full-on from time to time. Wizzy noize still cranks it

som of my favorites from the mid 90�s

Chakra & Edi Mis - X Files ( Monkey Mix )

Mystica - Ashes to Ashes (awesomeness)

Chi A.D. - Biocandy (Much better then 'astral warrior' imo)

and ofcourse the unforgettable

The Muses Rapt - Spiritual healing

goa is what got me into electronic music.

first track i was ever hooked on was Pistolero by Juno Reactor.

Juno Reactor is still one of my favorite groups of all time.
