Goa trance, does any one like it?

yes!
goa and psy trance kick ass! i dont know many artists or anything though, but im getting into astral projection and logic bomb now, they're excellent! also look for hallucinogen and man with no name. i dont know many places to find sets and stuff, but if you have direct connect try this hub: psylab.no-ip.org
see how you go
if you are in melbourne also listen to 'the back room' on RRR friday nights from 12 i think, 102.7 fm

Thanks people, I've got a bit of astral projection stuff, it's good but not quit as different from other stuff as the set i downloaded the other day, I'm going to have to hunt for the other stuff you mentioned as soon as these exam things are over.

Psy and Goa trance are awesome! Haven�t heard much, but the stuff I have heard is class! �specially Oakenfold�s Goa Mix Silver and Voyage Into Trance.

Astral Projection are amazing too...Mahadeva, what a great track! It has so much energy, brilliant stuff

hehe yeah they're mad! i have the goa mix and journey into trance, mine has a second disc mixed by danny rampling which is even crazier than the oakey cd!
OMG mahadeva!!! i love it!!!!!!!!

if you get livesets by most the names mentioned already, they are generally just the artist performing their own tracks. there are a couple of club nights for psy trance, theres a thread in this forum about '3d' on fridays, also theres like shin yeng or something like that on monday nights, and somewhere on sunday nights as well. hehe i havent actually been to any of them yet, when exams are over ill have to check them out though!

True, absolute brilliance! Just the whole way the GOa mix is mixed is awsome! Mahadeva is Astral's best song in my opinion, and also Solid Electronics and Ionised.
ALso gotta love that Man With No Name!! What happened to this guy? He hasn't made anything for ages! Or I just don't know about it?

Most releases from Transient are pretty good. transient singles collection 99-02 is a wicked album.

Even some melb stuff on green ant is worth a check out

I used to like psy trance, still do but hardly ever listen to it... I don't even get hte chance to listen to most of the stuff I download!

I have a few CDs, e.g. Astral Projection - Trust in trance, is awesome. Psy trance often have awesome eye-candy covers.

I used to occasionally listen to tranceport on 2SER on Thursday nights, I'm not sure if it's still on, it's been years since I last listened. I don't think I'd class the music they played as psy trance, but I could definitely feel a psy trance culture/community in the show. The music was very hard stuff... often sounding like being inside a heavy industrial factory... I feel the music was kind-of related to psy trance, they advertised bush parties ("doofs"?)... and parties like Swarm. I presume such parties are where you'd hear psy trance being played. Has anyone been to psy trance parties?

I think my most memorable psy trance track would be

Astral projection - People can fly

Maybe because of what's said in it:

You may think you can fly
But you better not try

I find it quite funny. You'd find it funny too if you were ever into trips. Trips and psytrance pretty much go hand-in-hand synergistically.

I used to like it back in the days of '97 and '98.
Was listening to some tracks of the Dragonfly and Transient label.

Posted by DynaFire on Oct-25-2002 02:28:

I've got some good stuff on Dragonfly and Transient but i wasn't really sure that was goa ish, much calmer than most of the goa i've heard, maybe those labels do some more tranc-ish releases as well. Freebase on sundays at 7 in south melbourne is an awesome night for psy, really, really rocommend it to anyone! Best atmosphere of just about any club i've been to. free entry too! :-) Can any one recommend a melb record shop for goa?
