Old but good. First things first. CD#1 is named as "Orion side". UX's track is good. In fact tracks 1-6 are all good. Slide, throughout psychedelia. AP, one of their best and oldest tracks, very melodic and spacey, total space feeling, great tune. Initially I found "Sonic System" by Pleaidians to be quite monotonic, but after a few listenings it began to be good, and it definitely has this certain flow. Radiation's track is good, nothing to say about it though. "Conflict" by those twisted Nuns (Dick Trevor And company is great track, full-on tweaking for 8 minutes. Great tune. Last two tracks are not that great, in my opinion. 9/10 for the first CD. CD#2 is named as Argo side, and certainly represents some darker tunes. None of the tracks is irritating, but only one track managed to stick out from this bunch of nothingness...you guessed it..."Trancespotter" by Simon P. Definitely a great tune, booming kick/bassline, very twisted and acidic, but at the same manages to be somehow so melodic. Rest of the tracks are about 6/10, and 10/10 for Hallucinogen. 7/10 for the CD#2. I give total of 8/10 for this compil which definitely hasn't aged. Bom!

Guest Jason - Los Angeles, CA Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 I would have to say that this is the best CD ever to come out in this Scene. Every song was one of the best of 1997. Great for someone looking to listen to some of the best of the older tracks. My favorites are the UX and Slide songs.

seraph Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 I don't own this compilation but have most of the tracks and from the tracklisting I can say that it must rocks. I only miss RHYTHMYSTEC, LUNAR ASYLUM, SATORI and MINDFIELD but the ones I have heard are stunning, very psychedelic and wild tracks...

Trance2MoveU Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Thank you Prana. Because of you I now sing "digga digga dagga dugga" to any track on the radio. And you know what...it makes a lot of them better. This compilation is an absolutely superb primer for those wishing to experience some of the best goa trance from the glory days. It's like Mind Rewind good except that all the tracks were readily available. Melodic, hypnotic, and powerful this is what they mean when they say more bang for your buck. It's sometimes dark or experimental, but always quality. Highly recommended. Mdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
