| Maybe it's bacause I like mostly banging stuff, but I don't dig psytrance. It just doesn't have that something that makes me move, which regular trance has. Well, different people, different tastes... |

Goa is actually a province on the west coast of India, formerly a Portugeuse colony (which contributes to its distinct subculture). For most purposes it doesn't matter what you're calling the music - Goa or psytrance... but if you wanted to be accurate, realize that Goa is specifically the more tribal/ethnic-influenced old school stuff made from 1994 up to 1999 or so (naturally with a few straggler releases outside of that period) whereas psytrance as we know it today is a sort of evolution out of the Goa sound integrating much from techno, 'regular' trance (for lack of a better term), and other genres (house/prog surely included). Composition was the focus of the late 90s, then sound quality took precedence after the turn of the millenium. Nowadays psytrance is some of the finest produced music and would likely surprise those with only a casual interest... its certainly not the blip-bloppy crazy nonsense you may have thought it was. Try an album from artists like Human Blue, Phony Orphants, M.O.S., Antix, Ticon, Magnetrixx, or Vibrasphere. It is unlikely that anyone would consider this the same sound that came out of the mix of cultures found on Goan beaches in the early-90s. |
Thank you! At least somebody on this board has some brains. |

To me, goa has a more deeper melodic tribal sound. Much more raw than psy which is more twisted and distorted. There's definately a big difference.
|
In addition, in my book goa is slower (133-142 BPM) than psytrance (140-152 BPM) |

MFG and Astral projection are from Israel, Infected mushroom too. During several years they were the Gods of Goa trance, a lot of israelian artists used to make very melodic goa sound, but nowadays we are more in a psytrance world, and currently we have psytrance from everywhere, especially sound from Sweden is felt everywhere, check out "Battle of the future Buddhas", "Logic bomb", "Human blue", "Son kite", "Vibrasphere", "Hux-flux" and many more... :) |
