-- The Power of Goa Trance
The Power of Goa Trance
So, I'm reading this book about VSL Theory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_speed_of_light) called Faster Than The Speed of Light by Joao Mageuijo, an autobiographical tale of how Joao came up with his submission for Unified Field Theory.
So, to sum of the first 138 pages, Joao sucks.
Then, upon realization that he may be kicked out of school for sucking, he begins work on his realized answer to the Big Bang riddles, a Variable Speed of Light. It's, at first, only sketchwork with a lot of holes, and he is rarely able to concentrate due to all the douchebags at Cambridge.
So on page 153, or 1997, he escaped to Goa India to dedicate himself full-time to working on his VSL theory. And for the next 4 pages, or 2 weeks, he is engulfed.

| in 1997, whenI first visited Goa, the rave culture was at its heights, with all-night beach parties striking at full moon,and Goan Trance music blasting out into the Indian ocean and the rest of the universe....Rave parties on the beach extended until sunrise, punctuated by the odd police helicopter passing over, pointing floodlights at us in clear warning that insufficient bribes had been paid.... In return, the crowd would aim their lasers at the helicopters, projecting little red hearts all over it..... Although using one's brain appeared to be discouraged in this peculiar environment, I must say that mine worked better than ever. From a faraway sound system, I could hear the rave cliche song broadcast in an electronic voice: "When you dream there are no rules, anything can happen, people can fly." As I relaxed, a few VSL breakthroughs suddenly came to me. |
Astral Projection can do that to people.

Yes it is true, some forms of EDM such as Psy (at least the old-school goa sound) can somehow expand imagination ha. When i was 15, i used to make my homework by listening to Astral Projection and MFG myself! During my firts year in the uni, dub-techno would be the soundtrack of choice. But this is not to say that because some forms of EDM "Fit" with some creative activities that there are better than other forms of music. Each genre has its pros and cons depending on activity and time of day.
Now, someone should run an experiment to see if creative performance increases with some forms of music.

Heh, niceness. I jam out to Goa-Psy at work on DI.FM alot, ive been getting bored of the prog/anethemic trance genres a bit. Goa always has something new and exciting to listen to. The breaks are kickin, and you never know what the next one is going to be like.
psychedelics are mind expanding, certainly the music inspired by them is mind expanding also. i agree that goa sparks imagination because it promotes thinking outside of the box, never puts limits on your thoughts. i think society in the u.s. teaches the opposite, scared to find out the real truths and scared to question the foundation of our reality. i think if we weren't such a scared society that we would achieve so much more if we followed some of the ideas that einstein and several others put forth.
but in today's society nobody has the time to pursue these thoughts and everybody gets so swept up in knowing what their own personal reality is that thoughts of it being different entirely become a scary thing
What I wouldn't do to go to Goa and rave at a beach party all night, listening to the some of the best Psy Trance in the world (hopefully).
Goa is somehow that part of India which is completely different from the rest of it. There is so much freedom, liberty, its as if it aint a part of India at all.
As for the parties, yeah they are just the thing you need when your on a party rampage. You could dance, sit, swim, drink, dope...and not be bothered at all !
Goa-Trance is great !
On a side note, I always and always used to listen to some good trance just before taking a test. Always helped me somehow. Maybe my imagination or whatever, but the results turned out to be good, so soon it became like a superstition ! 
I personally believe that it takes a couple of degrees more talent/creativity to produce psy/goa.....but thats just me....
Well it doesn't take much talent to make full on psy. I saw some producer somewhere complain about goa trance being overly melodic though.
Well I'm sure its hard to produce but thats not my problem. No such thing as overly melodic!
Goa is commercial now from what I've heard. Belgium is the place to be now for goa trance
Come to Goa..

Any claims like goa is commercial now, and goa this and that is now are stupid.Goa died long time ago, all we have now is psy, and some rarely releases of goa(like new RA album 9th).
Also, comparing two genres is also, to shoot your self.Sash and Digweed are great, but how can someone compare it to trance r00ts like astral.come on ppl

Sheesh... let me clarify.
1. Come to Goa - for Goa. It's one of the most beautiful places in the world and really really cheap (if you plan it well, and in advance). A pint of beer in a shack will cost about 0.80 Euro... at the festival it'll cost 1.10 Euro.
2. Come for Sunburn - because it'll be amazing. The line-up for '08 isn't going to be announced so soon... but last year's line-up will give you a decent sense of the mix.
3. Goa trance has as much to do with mainstream trance as Bob Sinclar has to do with heavy metal.
