the problem with valuing art is, till u dont understand it, it's worthless but wen u do understand it, it's priceless!! |

Goa will always be special ..yea like most of the guys said the ppl ,parites and vibes are not at all like before..but there was a time when this was all in the right place and there was this beautiful almost magical energy about this place...and based on this is wut the psykadelik sound developed and reached the hearts and souls of alot of ppl including most of us ..
but yes goa is not the best place for beaches ,parties,good vibes any more..but again Goa will be always special to the ppl who experienced this magic it once had..i will always keep goin to Goa even after all this as i ve had some of my most beautiful moments in my life there..and yes Goa has now turned into a state of mind for a lot ppl..

It's time to move on to the next step in the psychedelic revolution. We've reached a certain point, but we're not moving any more.

I dont understand why it should have a special place in my heart. i been to Goa, and it s just a place, the nature is nice, but there are many places on this planet that are much more interesting.
so Goa trance was born there years and years ago, so what? should i feel special about England because the Beatles are from there?
I really don't understand why peopole worship Goa and consider it as the a holly place for psychedelic music!! yes Goa was the place long time ago, freedom and music, and yes maybe it had its charm for trancers, in the time when psytrance was not so widely spread in the world, when parties were rare and special. Today Goa used and abused us trancers!
passion for music is not related to a place, nor a city, you can find your own Goa anywhere in this world

Very well said Lola Thank you !
Its a Big world Don't limit your self to any thing or any place by choice |

Goa is for sure very special for me.
Sure it's not a great place to go and party nowadays, but I still feel all fuzzy when I get there because it reminds me about the days when it was really happening.
The place as such was never that great IMO, there is more beautiful nature and beaches elsewhere.
But the crowd of tourists used to be very interesting selection of people creating special vibe.
Nowadays the vibe is lost and the tourist crowd feel mostly disillusioned and grumpy many times.
But I do love the Goan people and the energy of the place, so it's still one the top places on the planet to spend the winter months in IMO.
To say "it's just a place" is missing the point...
New Orleans is "just a place" as well, but it holds a special place in the hearts of Jazz lovers because it's the birth place of their scene and hence means more than just a geographical location.
It's about a crowd of people creating a certain vibe that generated something that still after many decades touches the souls of many people, not a spot on the map.
And the fact is Goa was extremely influential in the development of this scene. Almost all of the early arrangers of trance parties as well as producers in the west I know was getting blissed out in Goa and then bringing that vibe back to their home countries.
Goa from the perspective of this scene is a crowd of people that shape it, a very special vibe and like the cliché says, a state of mind.
Maybe the scene would have sprung up somewhere else if Goa didn't exist, but in Thailand and Ibiza they embraced the commercial housey aspects and Goa was the place where that party scene started first and that always attracted the crowd that liked to explore the psychedelic and trancey aspects to the maximum.

"New Orleans is "just a place" as well, but it holds a special place in the hearts of Jazz"

Goa is a good place for retired people.
Its cheap and quite. But no parties beyond 4 5 hours.
The problem is the crowd. There are 10 to 12 tourist buses coming in daily to Anjuna, Vagator, even Morjim.
Not to mention the ego trippers.
So many people who used to come even a few years back no longer bother to fall prey to the sound mafia there.
The XP,Nigel style of music makes you want to tear your hair from your head.
Got your own music, want to rest, go!
Boom.

Definately Goa has changed recently and not for the best... it lost its beautiful apparel. But I hope it is just temporary.
Many tourists are visiting because it is simply cheaper than to go somewhere else - not because they like trance, meditation, shanti. I.e. place is getting commercialized.
Additionaly, as a result, it attracts many smugglers, swindlers, criminals, etc. that spoil the place.
But still it is a nice place to visit, there are still a lot of shanti, good people and positive atmosphere is in the air. Just need to find it. |

acha !
first ppl commercialize it n they say , wow ..wowo WOW .. what parties , so many no .of ppl n what not ..now after its over commercialized ppl say its not a good pace .
what abt all the thousands of ppl who dont visit this particular forum to let u all into the secrets of great recreation and boom life in goa ..
if u want big parties go to boom or go to europe or brazil n lissen to the same mode of music all over the place ..
goa is not in those categories ..ask the ppl who have been coming here from least 15-20 years ..and here i mean not the trippers or junkies ..i mean normal people who releate themselves to the lifestyle of psychedelic "SOUND" ...and why is goa a place that has been so famous is also because of the great beautiful places it has spread all over ..
agree this year has not been that great for parties as some ppl want like lots n lots of ppl at parties (major syndrome in the minds of psytrancers from india), but then thats the case coz our government is acting like flipouts ..there hav been no parties all over india this year , very few chosen1's ...but still there were some biggies which took place in goa ...and not to forget many many many day parties with 300-500 ppl for thAT blissful psychedelic music that many ppl enjoy when sun is having fun ..
i hv been going to goa for almost a decade now , and i have seen it change a lot ...from the wild big big BIG parties in 98-99 to killer parties in 2003-2004 ... and now in 2007 v have a major revolution taking place underneath for sure ..its allready happening , crowd is filtered out .. less wannabes . more hardcore ppl ...just as will be the case when next party takes place in ur city specially after PUNE FIASCO ..u will see only real hardcore psy ppl ...no i want to be a psycho kind of crowd ...
this year has a lot in store ....those who r coming here will know , those who r not coming will just try to pass out negative vibe here .. thats been the case frm many years ..human nature ..eh
GOA is a legend ..it will live on
on n on
BOOM SHANKAR
out now
