Review:

 

This compilation is okay... Nothing more, nothing less! And i think that this

is the only Destination Goa cd, where Robert Jarnroth haven't put some of his

Phoenix or Kayseri tracks on! The cd starts nice with the Technossomy track,

wich is fast and... nice!! The second track, La Guerra, is okay. It sounds

like the producers of this number did'nt have much money:) But i like it all

the same. The Transwave track starts out quite boring, but in the end it

becomes interesting! And now.... The worst track i have ever heard: CHAKRA &

EDI MIS - FINAL MISSION. How could Rami and Edi produce this ****?!?!?!?! But

your day is saved by the Tufáan track, wich is nice hard pumping. The

soundquality is awfull though. Etnica is, as ussual, very very good! But the

Sheyba track is not good! - Boooring!!!!! The Rainbow Spirit track is okay,

but Boris Blenn has made much better stuff! The cd ends with I Savastano -

Trance Express... There is nothing interesting to say about this track,

because it's damn boring. Savastano has made better tracks than this!! There

are many Destination Goa compil's that are better than this, but hell... It

had to start somehow! So overall, like i said before, an okay compilation...

6/10

What can I say !? Probably one of the best of the "old" compilations. This is

the first compilation in the now great Destination Goa collection. This One is

contains many classical tracks wich still are good floorfillers :)

Track 1 is Pyramid from Technossomy, a real classic track and very good. Track

2 is an track from Gada-Gong... it´s for sure a good track, nice vibes and

that old goa style. Track 3 is probably one of the best tracks of all

time...Rezwalker from Transwave is a real thunder hit, very dark and a hard

bounching beat, best one on this compilation! Track 4 is from Chakra And Edi

Mis, also two classical producers... maybe not the best track from these two

guys, but a real goodie. Track 5, Probe made by Tufáan is also one of these

classics, this track is really good... hard and evil =) Track 6 from Etnica is

actually one of the better I´ve heard from them... I like this track,

classical goa style with very good melodies. Track 7 is also one of my old

favourits, Ganesh from Sheyba, I really loved this track when I first heard

it, good beat and nice sounds, I still like it :) Track 8 is also VERY good...

especially the introducing melodic vibes... they really float in my ears :)

Track 9 !

is a typical track from I Savastano, very good though... I like this track, it

contains very great sounds.

So... at last I think I´ll give this compilation very, very high grade...

because it´s a sort of an "oldie" compilation and one of the greatest of these

kinds and contains 9, today classic, still good tracks... I´ll give it 10/10!

I love this compilation... and if you don´t already have it, get it!! again a

real classic in your psy. goa-trance collection.

I've only heard tracks 1,5,7 & 8. Track 1 & 5 are nothing special, track 7 is

nice (I grew up with this track so maybe I'm not that objective) and track 8

is monotonous, very bad and boring...

No way, that track is awesome = P

 

This cd is amazing, this is Goa Trance people. Nothing more, nothing less. It's good Goa Trance at that. :)

Title: Destination Goa - The First Chapter

Label: Why Not Records

Date: 1996

 

01. 09'45" Technossomy : Pyramid
02. 07'21" Gada-Gong : La Guera
03. 08'23" Transwave : Rezwalker
04. 08'46" Chakra And Edi Mis : Final Mission
05. 08'10" Tufaan : Probe (Green Nuns of the Revolution Remix)

This is may be an essential. I'll lay out the facts and then you can come to your own conclusion. To open with such a powerful and descriptive track such as Pyramid is a bold if not somewhat risky statement as it could be all downhill after that. But it isn't. La Guerra isn't anything special, but then you're treated to The Rezwalker and Final Mission. Fantastic exercises in goa trance. So three out of four ain't bad.

 

But wait, it gets better.

 

One of the most psychedelic goa trance tracks ever produced IMHO is the Green Nuns remix of Probe. It's loud and a wall of sound with a lethal 303. That's the good part. Bad part is it was "recorded directly from vinyl and mastered to CD, rendering a lot of crackles." Needless to say the sound quality is poor, but I kinda like the grittiness. This is followed by Tribute by Etnica and Ganesh by Sheyba. Two delicious goa trance tales that will take you to that special place.

 

Sirius Shuttle gets on my nerves yet is still a fairly good track. Trance Express is...different. But not special. So 6 out of 9 tracks are really great. Does that deserve essential status? Maybe. I think it misses out by a whisker, but it's still damn good.
