I like psytrance and goa trance too. |
As I said before hundreds of times, I am into every single genre of electronica with exceptions of the post 1999-eurodance crap and I can only take rave and drum n bass music in small doses.
I got lots of goa/psy stuff, I primarily listen to older stuff, 1989-1999 era, artists like Man With No Name, Astral Projection, Infinity Project, X-Dream, Yahel, Total Eclipse, Prana, Infected Mushroom to name a few big names ... |

Lately I've really gotten into the hard dance/trance stuff but I've just returned from 3 weeks in Goa and I have to say that it was unreal. I had heard the parties were legendary but I wasn't prepared for it at all.
The best party we went to was on X-Mas Eve.

Here's the DJ lineup. Yes, that's right, it spans 36 HOURS (!!!) of non-stop wicked music.

We got there at 22:30 on X-Mas Eve and left at 14:00 on X-Mas Day to go back to the beach and get some rest. Here are links to 2 videos that I took on X-Mas morning. Sorry for the large downloads (47 and 25 Megs) but I don't have the software to convert them.

If anybody can ID the first track (MVI_0761.AVI) it would be greatly appreciated as it's one of my favorite ones at the moment and I have no idea who it's by.
Hope everyone is having a good 2004 so far.
Cheers,
Sylvain |

Good to see there's at least some interest in Psy\Goa!
basilisk, thanks for the tips. I'd love to check out some of the outdoor events you talk about. Only ones I've been to in the past are BLA events (other than OM and Harvest Festival). Winter outdoor Psy event sounds great!
Diginut, don't let not knowing people stop you from checking out these great events. You're welcome to join me and my crew and you'd be surprised how easy it is to meet people as the vibe is usually awesome.
Drewfactor, I've been to a few DarkRaves and quite like them. The last one I went to in November surprised me though, with Deko-ze spinning. He was great though (as always) and I guess the Dark Rave is trying to expand away from just Psy.
Sylvainw, all I can say is WOW! I'd heard great things about goa and your post has confirmed it all. The pics look great, but the avi links don't seem to work...I have to make my way to goa sometime!
As for people responding to the spammer, by replying in this thread just for that purpose, you're contributing to the problem. I was irritated too, but I decided to ignore him. You should have probably PM'd him or just asked the administrator to delete his post\warn\ban him. |

Dohhh... I just tried them again and they seem to work. Have you tried right-clicking and "Save Target As..." ??
Hope that works...

I'm pretty much 100% psy nowadays... explains why I don't post so much here anymore! :(

I love the complexity, much less predictable than many other genres and so much variety within it.

Agreed, although I've noticed that, as in every other genre, there are patterns and cliched sound elements etc., that you start picking out all the time. Also, as with every other genre, it gets harder and harder to find *good* psy the more you listen. I'm getting more into the prog/minimalist-psy stuff now, though I used to be a full-on/goa addict. Kinda like my trance progression from uplifting->prog, before getting into psy. So does this mean I'm getting into techno soon, or something?? :crazy:

Not to mention that PsyTrance events are by far cooler events, much less influenced by the commercialization of he scene. |
Werd. There are also the spiritual/drug influences that go hand-in-hand with the genre. Which can sometimes be cheesy/annoying but overall quite refreshing, especially in our society of mass consumerism and materialism. |

| I really like Psy and wouldn't mind spinning some too, but finding new vinyl for that genre is extremely difficult. |
