Story goes that Jaz beat up Dave Grohl and forced him to play drums on one album, like 2003 or 2004. The self titled one from that era. But as always, never check the facts of a good story, lol.

Killing Joke as in Youth and friends: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbhyyV8s1QV/ If you've been to a recent Infected Mushroom show, they play a Come As You Are cover. It's a bit cheesy on headphones, but kind of good in a live setting.

Well well kiddies, hard at work sample is from the English dub of this film apparently https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112682/

DIdn't Dave Grohl play drums for Killing Joke on their self-titled album? I guess they got over it

Flying Rhino and Dragonfly were the first two labels I started collecting. Some stunning releases on both. I was very partial to the Flight Series on FFR, GNotR, Technossomy as well were amazing. They were the main label that I was into that really evolved their sound. Their Re: evolution compilations still get regular play time. Dragonfly were pure Goa for longer and had great hits like Hallucinogen - Twisted, Pleiadians - IFO and Family of Light, The Muses Rapt - Spiritual Healing as well the Order Odanata series Also their chill out label - Liquid Sound Design was a regular in my post party sessions. Still love most of these releases.

Flying Rhino's First Flight and Retrodelica compilations are totally fantastic. Obviously Twisted Records because Simon. I bought one or two things from Transient Records when I first stated collecting Goa as well. So those were the three I was most aware of at the time.

The track that got me into GOA

I'll have to go back on the IFO choice here. I've been listening to the 3CD version recently and it's absolutely stunning. Some music just needs us to be in the right frame of mind to appreciate it, and so there are many albums I initially disliked but came back to later and loved. I think in the era of streaming, this is much less likely to happen. When I'd bought something and had the physical disk sitting there, I'd usually give something a lot more chances.

That's amazing. Thank you

Thanks, I always wondered where this came from, especially that the singing in the background can also be found in The Infinity Project - The World of the Acid Dealer.

thank you many of the codes still work.

Dimension 5 - Iron Sun (1996) Sample at 01:13: And at the onset of trance, the spirit of the creature enters the body of the dancer, enabling him to reach a transcendental state. Finding the original source of this sample on your own would be damn near impossible—the source film is so obscure it doesn't even exist on IMDb. The audio comes from a 1993 film titled "Distant Echoes: Yo-Yo Ma and the Kalahari Bushmen", which made its TV premiere on Channel 4 in 1997. Maybe it was a re-broadcast, and the original aired in 1993? There's no way to verify it now. In 1993, Yo-Yo Ma, one of the world's greatest cellists, traveled to the Kalahari Desert to play Bach for the local tribes and record their traditional music. A true anthropological and musical artifact that miraculously survived thanks to YouTube. Sample appears at 40:54

I know I'm a bit late to this discussion but I am always pro-owning your own server and owning your own data. I really really hate what Meta (Facebook) and Alphabet (Google) have done to the internet and our communities. I truly love the idea of the Federated Internet and having various Federated websites that can communicate to each other in a way that email allows. So I can comment on your facebook/twitter-like webpage from my facebook/twitter-like webpage that are on different platforms. I have been considering building my own Mastadon instance to network with and build out with other similar instances. Instead of creating new redundant pages/sites on Discord or Slack that are built on the back of another proprietary service, do so in the wild of self ownership. I _LOVE_ psynews for this understanding and completely support whatever you choose to do to keep this place functioning. I do wonder if, since these types of forums are sorta dwindling and a relic of a previous internet age, maybe pivoting to a more Mastadon type of Federated platform would be a beneficial transition for long term growth and usage. Has there been a consideration to maybe make a Psynews Federated Mastadon site for people to use like Twistter/Threads/Instagram/etc? Would love to see something like that happen down the way 😃

It sounds like Another World part 2 to me and the music would be almost as good as that album if it wasn't for that mastering. I love Another World though which counts in this album's favor.
