MWNN : Man With No name
AP: Astral pojection

I first heard an goa trance track of astral proejction and got into it really quickly. Start getting all the albums of AP and then people suggested me MWNN and that was really good also.
However this group are kinda old now and I think they're not making any songs anymore. I am still listening to their songs sometime, but I kinda need more even though you just cant get bored of their tracks. I got also other albums of goa trance compilation and stuff but never really liked anything else than AP and MWNN (maybe some track of juno reactor) but thats it. Imo there is a difference between the trance played by MWNN and AP than the one played by other groups. I was a little bit absent from the scene lately and i was asking myself if there was any new groups that appeared in the goa trance domain and which have songs as good as or at least in the same style as AP/MWNN?
thanks!

It seems like you really dug deep into the psy/goa genre at all. There are ALOT of artists out there, that are, imo, much better and more interesting than AP and MWNN. Tell me what other artists you have heard, and what it is that you like about AP/MWNN, and I will do what I can to help you.

It died when X-Dream made Radio.

ace ventura.

Theres plenty that sound like Astral Projection-Another world (theres plenty of riff based goa like their earlier albums too... although nothing quite as good)... thats what the newschool goa movement is about. Sure that's quite different to the older stuff but it's still Goa trance (in the way psytrance isn't).

Never really saw anything in mwnn but I've heard he's pretty unique.

TBH they aren't really all that good anyway the best probably are: Transwave and The infinity project.

Goa used to be dead but it's been making a comeback since last year.

If you like newschool goa (sounds similar to AP another world) check these out:
Avigmati
Azriel
Chi AD (has been producing for quite a while now... just never went the psy way)
Cosmis Silence
Cyberion
Dimension 5 (inactive.... first album re released on suntrip records... even though they are newschool they have a very unique and very good sound)
Ediya
E-Mantra
Filteria (one of the other big names)
Goasia (recently released an album on suntrip this month)
Goma
Jikooha
Khetzal (Probably most famous on this list... he's been making newschool since 2002 I think)
Laughting Buddha
Life Extension
Lost Buddha
Merrow
Mindsphere
Mungusid
Nolax
Oktokoppler
Omegahertz
Pleiadians[A.K.A. etnica earlier on] family of light and (some of)I.F.O.
Pralhab
Psynymph
Ra (inactive afaik... last album 2002)
Radical Distortion
Red Gravity
Sattle Battle
Sine Die
Sneila
Space Buddha
Subra
Synsun
Talpa
Tor-Ma
Trold
Vast
VOX (has a free album called innerpolarity that you can download [google it] in either wav or 320kbps mp3)
Yesod
Yspilon 5

The main reason to why you have a difficult time finding contemporary goa trance is because that kind of trance died out in the end of 90s/beginning of 00.
Most of the goa/psy scene went into two directions. Either progressive or full on (such as Astrix, Xerox & Illumination etc).
However there are a few producers that still produce that kind of goa trance you are looking for.
Check out Filteria and Ypsilon 5.
you can find both's CDs at www.psyshop.com
Another such producer I would recommend is Artha. He is fairly new but produce awesome goa trance. Check out his myspace:
http://www.myspace.com/arthapolandpsychedelic

And speaking of Man With No Name. He is still active but doesn't produce much these days. But he actually released two tunes last year which were really nice. They can be found on this compilation:
http://www.discogs.com/release/601851

Astral projection have an album coming out soon called Open Society. Apearantly its supposed to be much more goa-ish than their latest album AMEN. So far I've heard two tunes from it and it sounds really promising.

What's the other one that isn't the prophecy? I quite liked the prophecy. It was quite different to anything else... quite good too.

BTW I don't see why you dislike AP so much skov. It seems you only seem to diss them to try and get people into other stuff. I'll agree they are most definitly incredibly overrated for being slightly different to other stuff and dare I say 5% better then other stuff.

Open Society. It is from 2005.
Also one Astral Projection tune which was released a few years ago but which never got so hyped is Back from Hell. that one is MASSIVE!
If you haven't heard it be sure to check it out.

And speaking of AP. They've done shitloads of good tracks and albums and have been a great influence for many others. However I was not too fond of the AMEN album. Some decent tunes but mostly boring full on stuff which we already have way too much of.

I like Astral Projection, or more.. I like Trust in Trance, and Dancing Galaxy. Everything they have done sound pretty much the same, they haven't changed alot. That's not neccesarily bad, but in this case it is imo. They have done way too much, and it's all pretty much the same. As to goa dying after X-Dream Radio, somewhat true. There was some great stuff up untill around the year 2000. Still comes some good stuff once in a while, but most of them are trying waaay too hard. I don't really listen to much goa anymore, progressive trance/psytrance has taken over, pretty much. Some of my favourite artists at the moment are Cosmosis, Tandu, Eat Static, Moksha. I recently dug out some of their old cd's and listened again. Now I understand why I buy so little new music, there's simply not enough originality anymore. Most of the music I listen to are from 1996ish-2003. The progressive trance is still going quite strong though, alot of good artists out there releasing stuff right now.

the prophecy and open society are both awsome

see, good trance music is still being made

Not really... I mean psytrance/progpsy is much more popular then goa ever was but theres plenty of great goa artists producing atm and it's only going up from here.
