dear folkz,
Are there actually ppl today that discovering goa trance that seem to be extinct from our terrible and cruel world?
Or is it just young heads who were told that there is this 'goa' word from some of the recent YSExplosion compilations ?
  Crackling universes dive into their own neverending crackle...

Well, Melicia's style (although some people consider it commercial shitty fullon) is quite goa oriented.
There are released in goa style today, such as Ethereal from Tranceform. I believe that if people like it, they'll look for more - dig into the past.

Goa Trance come-back! I would like that! But certainly in a new, improved way.
IMHO, trance track with no melodies is like a blank piece of paper... Nothing you can see on it, nothing you can feel there... |

Boom! recs still releases stuff that's more 'Goa'. Some Australian trance is very much in the 'Goa style' too. And there's always Dimension 5 and Ra for those Goa junkies. |

I started listening and collecting goa in march this year... i already have 12 old albums. This is going to take some time... there is a lot to explore and money doesn't grow on trees
Melicia is shitty full-on, Ra and Dimension 5 is a bit of cheap goa. Although not bad for a 2001 release. |

Hi people!
Most people who nowadays are active in the psy-trance scene probably don't like goa-trance at all or were not around at the time goa-trance was "the thing".
But anyway, apart from Tranceform (a melodic goa-trance label) that Mike mentioned earlier there are some full-on psy-trance that is very goa-influenced. For example the Melicia: "Running out of time" has been one of the highlights of this year for me, Silicon Sound: "Pure analog" is another one and Talamasca: "Zodiac" shall not be forgotten either.
I haven't yet ordered Space Buddha: "Storm reaction" but according to the clips I've heard of it it probably is also something that people who like goa-trance will like .
Cheers,
Kalle / Tranceform

i agree, with releases like "battle of the future buddhas" for example, and the new "rastaliens" album.

Its not necessarily the style that I miss but the kick ass composistions. Goa was always more about substance than style. Dimension 5 and Ra are good but are, judging on what I heard thus far, not able to produce memorable trax like Double Dragons (Doof), Atomic Armadilo (GNotR), Maia (Pleiadians) e.g.
Using good old 303 synths nowadays doesn't mean its immediately a pleasant 'deja vu'... |

Right said dude.
I think may be Goa style is hardcore for new ppl in the scene. They may not find it their kinda music.. ways of enjoying .. ways of getting buzz outta music.. changes with time and influence. But ofcourse Goa music is and will always be there.

The thing is that todays listeners hear todays music with todays production, which is excellent. Old goa has quite a shitty sound (compared to today) - which scares people away.

i agree.
in short, thats why want to try and make goa music with todays production levels (shame nobody wants to release it tho hehehe )
i listened to cosmosis the other day and i was disappointed cos when i first heard it i thought it was brilliant produced (and in many ways it still is of course) but after listening to a lot of 2003 stuff lately it sounded thin and weak.
the programming and so on may be up to scratch in some ways but the overall sound is nowhere near as fat and squeezed.
(on which note - a couple of releases this year have actually struck me as way overcompressed / overmastered. a really squashed and artificially bright feel. anyone else think psy mastering might be getting a bit out of hand?)
