...2 days ago @ Zamir club in Tel Aviv, Astral Projection give an excellent set back to back with a lot of new remixes of their past stuff that makes me dance like the old times (with closed eyes)...
Then I remember: cazzo, this is "trance" for me (not simply a style of music)... Is a Stage of Mind that gives me satisfaction and good thoughts and after the dancing experience u fell kind of renewed better than before...
I think for the future of this scene we must go back to the roots (u can called it Goa, for me was Bahia), refresh it, and never forget the meanings...
...cause without spirit Trance doesnt exist (& this is a fucking TRUE).

Pls don't misunderstand me, when I say "back" is about meanings...
(without past there is no future)
What is all about this "Trance dancing partys"..?
Len me ask u something & i'll give u an example:
Why u call yourself Elysium..?
...maybe for Eleusis..?
What means "GOA TRANCE" for you..?

I call myself Elysium because I have had my band name since 1994 where Goa Trance wasen't that well-known yet... The name Elysium have absolutely nothing to do with Goa... It's Greek or Ancient Latin and mean "The happy place after Dead"....

Relax Elysium... Read & follow the conversation...
Is all about meanings...
Or u dont know why u call yourself as u do..?
...cause the words has meanings (for comunication purposes of course!)
Elysium is ancient Greek and is I think, for the sanctuary of Eleusis (Very special place for humanity and in a way very much conected with Goa or for say better with what was happening in Goa in the begining of the partys/rituals)
Len me tell u again: is all about meanings
Why u make music..?
Why u play it loud for ppl who dance in the nature under influence of psicoactive substances in kind of ritualistic way (the dancing part i mean)..?

I am very relaxed 
But please dont assume that I dont know what Elysium mean.
Your interpretation of the meaning behind Elysium is not mine. If you cant accept the fact that I use the name Elysium out of different context than you see it then it's your problem mate. I see no link between Elysium and Goa... As I told you I have used that name way before Goa became a "mainstream" genre around 1996-97.
I dont see why I have to sit here and tell you what Goa is to me.... Goa music is sweet memoires but I prefer to look ahead and concentrate on something different than searching for something that's in the past of my life.
Why dont you accept that people have a different opinion than you?
Just so you know it.. Elysium is Ancient Greek, Ancient Latin (Used by the Roman's just as we the Scandinavians used the term Valhalla) and also one of the ground elements in the periodic table!
Look up the word in your Dictionary and you'll see that it also mean "The Happy place after Dead" = Elysium ! This is the meaning I have chosen to use and will keep using in connection with Elysium Project!
And when it come to the "spirit" of Goa Trance then that "spirit" is very very individual... Every single person has his or her own understanding about how they viewed the "phenomea" Goa Trance... Some just listened to it for the music' sake and some were into it in a more religious way! And yet again some because of the drugs!
I dont think anyone can tell me or lecture me about what it was all about... I was a big part of the Goa movement from the early days and was into it on my own terms as an artist loving to make music more than searching for a "spirtual awakening" or "the meaning of life"!
And regarding the drugs.... well done it been there but they were never the reason why I made so-called Goa Trance (I never called my music Goa anyway). I made music long before I discovered psychedelic trance (as we called it here before Goa trance came along) and I only made trance because of one reason.. I loved the music! So you see for me it have absolutely nothing to do with "a higher purpose" or to have "seen the light - with or without chemicals".... I just loved the music!
And today I have moved on to other musical genres that I love. That does not mean that I dont like Goa/psy anymore. It just dont give me the same feeling of joy and inspiration as it used to do! |

But sadly Dead Can Dance is also... well.. dead. It's one of my alltime favourite band... though I never thought that it sounds Goa... more like Celtic and other worldmusic flavours played by real people with acoustic instruments (mostly). 
-------------------------------
Anyway... I don't go to parties much but when do I would sertainly like to hear also tracks from early goa years.... everytime..

U say u're relaxed but i feel is kind of agressive the way u speak...
and u dont read properly: I mean what i wright and i wright what i mean...
Quoting myself: Or u dont know why u call yourself as u do..? is a question, for this has the simbol ? in the end (I'm asking not saying/pls understand the difference)
Anyway lets forget for a second the word Goa (It seems is not your favorite!)
The point i want to make is in the MEANINGS dude or lol or coniemu as u prefer!
Always when i see your name I like it cause has a meaning and is not for you or me, the word has an original meaning who express something and i thought this guy has a connection with me cause i called myself Triptolemia (and this is because Triptolemos: who was the founder of the mysterios of Eleusis (an ancient iniciation ritual celebrated in the island of Eleusis for 2000 years, very closed to Athens in honour of Demeter or mother Earth as u prefer, where after dancing all night the candidates drink a posion (kykeon) and then see the vision of the gods!!!
After the experience the candidates feel "re-born" in the world of knowledge (for this the happy place after a figurative dead). Hope u like the story "elysium".
Anyway u dont answer me mostly of my questions: (any phrase with the symbol ? in the end)
...and when i said back to the roots (Goa again) is cause we're forgeting why this music start to grove and definetily change my life and mostly of the ppl who has the posibility to experience a new born dancing in the nature feeling free of oppresion and connecting with the inner and outher self to understand why the fuck we live this life and where the fuck we're going to go in the evolutionary cyclic process...

PS: Who stole your bassline..? (Pure irony/if u dont get it...)

I am not agressive at all. I just dont understand why you cant understand that what you see as the "truth" aren't nessesarely the "truth" to me or other people !
"Stole my bass" - line was a joke mate... I used to make basslines that shifted in keys and a few years later many other artists did the same... so you see a joke - not an accusation that someone actually stole my bassline - it's called irony
And to be honest I dont understand half of your writing or what it is you want to say due to your way of writing English.... It's not an attemp to put you down but you do write things in a way that's hard to understand.
May I suggest that you accept the fact that I choose to use the word "Elysium" the way I want to use it and that i dont share the way you chose to interpretate Goa and the past Goa scene ? |
