A new thesis on the subject. Very interesting reading, revealing that the roots of goa trance go back to 1987 in Finland, further than in almost any other country.
Required reading for anybody even remotely interested in the forming years of the scene, and the origins of the Finnish sound.
The book is free! |

Very interesting reading, i'm at page 66, some stories already knew, almost all after the so called dat-mafia  , funny to see how things evolved,and how things got twisted
"By the late nineties, the legend of Goa would hence reach epic proportions. Leppilampi
describes a “Goa religion” (1:00:53), where a glorification of the drugs & dance -ritual
is taken to spiritual levels, with attached dogmas of conduct, ways of thinking and
proper apparel. He further describes the cult of the chillum (a traditional Indian hashishsmoking
pipe) as a humorous by-product of it all: There would only be the few culturally accepted makers of chillums, and all else would be of no value (ibid).
Meticulous care would be taken to preserve and clean the chillums, which would in
essence be religious sacred objects to some. The slide from freedom to religious dogma
dominated by powerful individuals would quickly take down the lively spirit of the
culture. Holding on to mysticism and refusal to take the music at face-value was a turnoff
for others." |
