Guest Goa Sage Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 V/A - The Future Sound of America - Psychedelic Trance Artist: Various Title: The Future Sound of America - Psychedelic Trance Label: Distance Date: 1997 Track listing: 01. 09'32" Astral Projection : Kabalah 02. 08'32" Miranda : Green Man 03. 07'18" Deedrah : The Wizard Demo 04. 07'04" Hallucinogen : Gamma Goblins 05. 07'11" The Infinity Project : Hyperspaced 06. 07'27" Transwave : Land Of Freedom (Radio Edit) 07. 03'37" Man With No Name : Jack In The Box 08. 06'43" Electric Universe : Stardiver 09. 08'06" Transwave : Malaka Dance 10. 09'49" Cypher O : Psychedelia Junglistia Review: This compilation was compiled to fit the American market and to introduce the Psychedelic Trance scene to the Americans. Therefore, many of these tracks are standard Goatrance tracks - melodic, stomping and great on the dancefloor. The compilation is pretty average, but there are a few nice tracks as well... "Kabalah" by Astral Projection, Simon Posford's famous horror tune "Gamma Goblins" and The Infinity Project's alienated party tune "Hyperspaced" from their album "Feeling Weird". The other tracks are rather boring and the MWNN track is pure crap. Altogether, an average compilation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snow Dog Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 A great introduction to psytrance, with classic tunes like "Green "Man" and "Stardiver". Great if you don't already have most of these tracks. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak51 Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 Although I'm not too keen on the more Goa-ish side anymore, I actually still do enjoy the MWNN track: it has a nice rolling mainly-black-keys synth line and a pleasant tight kick-drum. Most of others are very good work too. Get this comp if you're looking for a 1997 exhibit in the psy-trance museum, but I wouldn't play much of this stuff today.

Guest Goa Sage Posted September 1, 2000 Share Posted September 1, 2000 I forgot to mention Frederic Holoszewski's cool track "The Wizard Demo" in my review above. It has a dark, psychedelic and mad atmosphere and an evil, mechanical groove. I still think that this compilation is average as a whole, though...

Asterope Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 No shit on this CD, only pure melodic tracks. #1 is well-known, no need to review it but excellent !! #2 by Miranda is quite good, classic but enjoyable !! #3 is not very good, I hate these french vocals. In fact, it's from the movie "C'est arrivé près de chez vous" avec Benoit Poelvoorde, but anyway, it doesn't fit in this track. #4 gamma goblins, very good, but less than the Part 2 on the lone deranger. #5 is ok, melodic and so on... #6 is one of my favourites here, such a good track. Listening at the melody that comes at 3'10 makes me shiver !! #7 is a short remix of jack in the box, by MWNN, uninteresting I think. #8 is great, nothing to add. #9 is also from transwave. And I love that track, the bassline is so special dunno why, but... wonderful. excellent track by the way and finally #10, only average not really interesting. So on the whole, it is a very taste of pure goa trance, for those who missed the golden days of psytrance !!!! Nevertheless, the cover is absolutely awful, bahh, disgusting, but doesn't matter !! 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trance2MoveU Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Some great classics here. According to Discogs track 7 is an ambient piece by an artist called Genetik System. Fairly unremarkable and I don't understand how the hell that made it on here. The last track is from half of Transwave (aka Deedrah) and is very interesting. High techno / drum n bass influence yet still with a goa soul. Great album that is dirt cheap on Discogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
