On a personal note, he has become quite cranky over the last few years

He's been like that for a long time. It's not something that happened over the last years. I remember him bitching hard because I "forgot" to send him a release I did. Of course he could not pick up the phone or send me an e-mail to ask me. He bitched via someone else and said that he did not have to call artists to ask for their music.

doesnt hear well (40 years of boom boom and what'd you expect), and has not been invited to play in Goa even once since the last few years (even though he still comes to live there in winters).

Could it be because he does not hear very well and his DJ skills by that gets even worse than they already are?

One might argue that he should have bowed out when he could, but there is the misnomer - this is his way, in life, and he has known none other. So I guess we will hear him spin right till the very end.

Kind of sad isen't it. A man should know when it's time to quit. Otherwise he become nothing but a washed out hasbeen.

The whole point being, you may or may not agree with him and the things he does, but there can be no question about his commitment, perseverance, the ability to be still relevant, create dancefloor magic, initiate new people into the fold and command a high price, when every other person who listens to trance today wants to become a dj.

It could also be pointed out that he preach way too much instead of keeping his religious views to himself. That he countless times has broken the state of trance in a crowd when his mixes went totally wrong. That he maybe never should have been a DJ since he so clearly don't care about the technical side of DJ'ing which is an important aspect of the craft and the last not so symphetic fact that he is extremely egocentic when it come to playing solo in parties. He rarely want to share the stage with anyone. Maybe a trip down to Earth again would do him good

Music - Most Djs of today love to hate him, but having asked around, I figure it is mostly coz they realise they can never emulate him, in any way. So they focus on his mixing skills and track selection.

OK, seriously now, ...

in a world full of impetutous kids, isnt it important to ask everyone to respect their roots?

You must have made a crappy track, and didnt send him a DAT tape also

I actually find it incredibly cool and inspiring how after all these years he is still around doing his thing in the psychedelic scene. And while you may find this sad, my bet is that Goa Gil has gotten more respect from people simply because of this.

I personally have never heard him play a set or particularly enjoy the dark psy he plays, yeah I don't really listen to his stuff much.

But I think he is a good guy, and he has been around in the psy scene since the early days. Something a lot of people respect about him, including me.

And I have never met him, but I sense that Goa Gil has some genuine psychedelic awareness from many years of real experience in the psy underground. So maybe its not so much his music or mixing, but his psychedelic awareness that is his real secret and why so many people connect with him and find magic in his parties. A quality which I am sure goes undetected by the avarage fool who thinks he is better than him simply because his mixing skills are better.

Dude you seem to be confusing the psychedelic scene with mainstream pop where projecting the right public image is what is important.

You can tag Goa Gil as a "washed out hasbeen" but if he is doing his own true thing it doesn't matter what age he is and what you say about him, what matters is that he is doing his own thing going beyond what people want to say about him. Be free and do your own thing!

RESPECT

I'd have said Goa Gil's strong public image has had a massive effect on his status in the psy trance scene - which is just as, if not more, image concious than most other music scenes.
