The music that would eventually be known as Goa Trance did not evolve from one single genre, but was inspired mainly by Industrial music/EBM like Front Line Assembly and A Split-Second, acid house (The KLF's "What time is love?" in particular) and psychedelic rock like Ozric Tentacles, Steve Hillage and Ash Ra Tempel.

yeah i'm kinda rethinking that coldplay example .

(1988)



(1987)

It seems pretty inaccurate to me to call stuff like the second ("Quite Unusual") just "rock."

Originally posted by wotyzoid The anthem just simply stands for everything trance isn't. Cheesy vocals, guitar riff after guitar riff, pointless brakedowns, over worked but boring percussion. As for alone tonight I see it as neatly done track with vocals that fit very well with the sound and the song just being as a whole more inspiring.

i see alone tonight as an incredibly average & forgettble track once you remove the vocals. no distinctive hook, a bland chord progression & a completely generic backing with no energy or groove. it's like they came up with the vocals and just threw together a purely functional backing track in the space of an hour to make it 'danceable'

the vocals themselves i find horribly grating & turgid; the whole track's emphasis is on them & it's the kind of voice i'd expect in 80s synthpop power-ballads. basically i have never once not been able to hear it without cringing horribly/leaving the room

i guess push come to shove i'd actually take anthem over it, since the lyrics in that are so bad they're actually funny.. and i can at least half-convince myself that filo & peri were drunk & having a bit of a laugh when they wrote it. with this i can't, it just leaves a sour taste in my mouth (much like just about everything else A&B stand for)

+1 for Yet Another Day.

IMO the Anthem blew big. I don't know why people kept on giving the song support. I hated the song when the vocals began and wish it was really a cheesy rock song instead of being produced by Filo & Peri.
