So is Goa the fundation of psy dead, every time I hear a "goa" track today it sounds more fullon that is trying to be goa. Someone that have some good info on this? seems like an old dog have died, say it isn't so! all the music we love came from goa first and pionoeers like sfx. Right?
Always nice with some nostalgia music 
Where or who is playing the Goa today? |

The sound isn't the best, I hear that! but no mastering?
Funny that today everything is so technical but the old schoolers did great without most of it.
Damn. Great respect to the pioneers.
I was listening to a synth band called KOTO yesterday and found that they where having "fullon" basslines in 1993 or 1994. Listen to them! inspiring
Forgive my English grammar I'm drunk and Swedish slesian(polish) jew, a wonder I can even spell:D |

I think its not so much that goa is dead. Its more like the people with talent don't see psy as a creative or financially worthwhile outlet.
The guys who started the scene came from other scenes cos they saw potential in psy, but after a few years of dwaf dwaf dwaf and compliments exclusively from drug losers they have seen that psy is not the promised land.
The only people who are left making psy are the ones who peaked at learning how to make a kick sqeauk and bass, not to mention eq, Coz they have no ambition or attitude for success, but plenty of attitude for spiritual self-confidence regarding their contributions of absolute shit. (I wish there was a masturbating icon)
But I could be wrong. Im moving to Cape town in august, will give you guys an update if 99% of what I hear is not regurgitated fullon. (it could just be the durban parties - where I stay)

No, vinyl melts in the hot Goa sun. As far as location, Goa is very much dead for trance. However, Goa trance music is making a comeback these days and many still love it. Check out Suntrip records. It's pure Goa Trance. |

So Goa Trance is only played in and produced in Goa?
This sounds like the same kinda of snobbery that the middle and upper glasses have with Champagne here in Europe. |

Well, technically Champagne can only be called Champagne if its made IN Champagne. Everywhere else its sparkling wine.
Music in genre can be made anywhere.
The production levels may have matured and modernised in Goa music, but I thought Goa typically has a more real-percussion element (Bongos, Tabalas), less digitally sounds and more guiar/sitar, Indian scales and more nice Indian lady vocals instead of the the classic cheese trance singing. |

a) people with talent can make great music, in any genre, new or old.
b) not everyone who loves music, decides what kind of style he is going to start producing depending on the financial prospects of making such music. Ambition and/or attitude for "success" is (should be?) irrelevant to the people who simply do it for no other reason than, love.
