Guest Psylent Buddhi Posted February 1, 2000 Share Posted February 1, 2000 CD1 contains some wonderful tracks. Hallucinogen's "Deranger" needs no further introduction, it's simply stunning. Electric Universe's "Stardiver" is typical german trance. Very clear production. It's brings on nothing new though. Miranda's "Phenomena" is a beautiful track. Very melodic, sounding good all the way. And now comes one of the really interesting tracks. Deedrah's "The Wizard Demo" is a stunning psytrance rocket. With pure madness dripping out of your speaker, this track just keeps twisting And torturing your brain untill you completely loose consciousness. What a killer track. Shakta's "Lepton Head" is also a beautiful track. Outstanding melodies, that makes you wonder what planet Sebastian Taylor really is from! Transwave's own remix of their eternal classic "Land Of Freedom" is okay, but the original is still the best!! And now comes the best track on this compilation: "Dreampod" by Psychopod. A piece of jawdropping psychedelic music. No words can really de! scribe it! So complex and so beautiful production! The last two tracks are not really that great. Not to say that they're all bad, but still not so good as some of the others! CD2 has some decent tracks too, but it's mixed and that's a major downside! Get this compilation for CD1. It's outstanding! P.L.U R. - Psylent Buddhi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stam Posted February 14, 2000 Share Posted February 14, 2000 The first CD is full of classics and unlike all the others I like it when they mix CDs, it´s OK by me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anoebis Posted February 22, 2000 Share Posted February 22, 2000 The first CD is véry good!! The second is not as good... CD1 starts with a whirling track of Hallucinogen, this song is so insane!! It's always going faster and faster!! Great to dance!! Nr 2 is not good, nr3 is a good Miranda-song, typical here style, so very melodic!! nr4 is really hard, but I don't like it... The samples are just rediculous!! Song 5 is one of my former top-10 tracks!!! The remix of Land Of Freedom is not as good as the first one and... Yihaa, Psychopod shows us a piece of psychedelic music, really unreal!!!! The last song is rather .ñ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest clark_303 Posted July 3, 2000 Share Posted July 3, 2000 This is one of the best Distance to Goa-compilations and almost every song here is at least good. The first CD doesn't really have any bad songs except Deedrah's weird song that sounds really stunning at first but after a few listens it starts to sound a little childish. Eat Static's song is a little unoriginal too and doesn't really give you anything. The best track on the first CD is definitely Psychopod's Dreampod. Even the last track is good and very relaxing, Serge Souque of Total Eclipse can't really make bad music. Everyone else here seems to dislike the second CD but I actually listen to it more often than the first one. It's beautifully mixed and the songs fit together perfectly. They're a little harder than on the first CD and it's basically just going on and on with only a few breaks but trust me, the songs are great after you get to know them, it's a journey to a higher state of consciousness . The best ones are Lunar Asylum's mind-expanding Reefer Madness, Transwave's crazy Malaka Dance and Prana's classic, Alien Pets. And the last song is really just an outro, it finishes the journey.-Clark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akroupnik[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted July 13, 2000 Share Posted July 13, 2000 CD 2 is excellent, with only one track i don't like, being by Deedrah, which is far too unmelodic for me. The Land of Freedom remix is simply stunning, far better than the original. CD 2 is just average, the mixing is not really all that special and it seems that DJ just slammed a few tracks together without really thinking about. A simple addition of one ambient track at the end does not make for a journey. Still it has great tracks by Lunar Asylum, Transwave and Ololiuqui. CD1 9/10, CD 2 4/10. Overall still worth getting, even in 2000, full of classic tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rumz Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 i love this CD... one of my favourites. shakta and transwave tracks rule, deedrah and protect system also very cool.... ahh those were the days....... 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallucinogenious Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 Transwave, Hallucinogen, Shakta and Prana rules in this album, Very good compilation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Indigo spice Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 This album is a real landmark in "Goa history" (for me anyway)! It has all the perfect ingredients, Miranda, Shakta, Transwave, Hallucinogen, Prana and more! I really agree with "Rumz" over here that, "ahh those were the days"! It's a clean 10/10!

Guest kadafi Posted December 25, 2001 Share Posted December 25, 2001 For me this isn't a must have... but surely not a bad comp either! Some trax are 'absolutely fabulous' and some are real bad choices for on a compil... It contains a few VERY good trancetunes! CD1 is the best imo: Deranger really is something special, it always leaves me craving for more! The original Lepton Head has been one of my favorite tunes for a long time now(beacause of the melody), but this Deedrah remix is much better style!!! 10/10 for these 2!!! I also like Mirandas Phenomena very much... The Land of Freedom rmx isn't bad, but I really got tired of this tune, sowwy... Cd2 isn't very special for me... it doesn't have a lot of uplifting parts or interesting breaks or anything special, it's just 1 long sleepy mix... but at the end it gets better! not bad: T1 - T2 (to bad the bass soundz technoïsch) - good: the Transwave track FINALLY breaks the easygoing style! Prana with Alien Pets...still this is a must for all oldschool trancers (because some of my friends really love it)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ashonacid[at]shpongle[dot]com Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 wow, its 2002 and im still listening to it years after i baught it! The songs i keep going back for are Land of Freedom, Deranger, Lepton Head (classic!) and Wizard Demo, thought its a good thing i don't speak french because i've seen the movie and if i could understand the words in it (i know what they mean, but...) that would probably do my head in... but mabye thats a good thing .... Psychopod and the antidote are excellent too. BUY THIS COMPILATION NOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest transphere Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Shakta - Lepton Head (Deedrah Rmx) AMAZING!!! Excellent track!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blue Penguin Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 it seems to be old now. Nevertheless, it was stunning few years ago! DREAMPOD, and LEPTONHEAD still are amazing tunes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripper Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I think that this cd belongs to transwave and specially to Deedrah...! Very good comp one the best 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormion Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 This compilation is legendary! (Both cds) 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuser Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 After so many years, it turned out that DREAMPOD by PSYCHOPOD was the best track, by far, can't believe how good it is after so many years. Also, track 1 in the 2nd CD by KATAYMA contains one of the purest intro for a goa track, simply love the acid intro :-) and the track by ALIENATED is really fun !
