DeathPosture Posted January 26, 2001 Author Share Posted January 26, 2001 V/A - Goa Classix 1 Artist: Various Title: Goa Classix 1 Label: Nova Tekk Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. 06'40" Hallucinogen : Jiggle Of The Sphinx 02. 06'40" Zodiac Youth : False Prophet (Man With No Name Rmx) 03. 07'47" Green Nuns Of The Revolution : Cor 04. 07'43" Oforia : Maximiser 05. 09'18" Astral Projection : Dancing Galaxy 06. 09'26" Chi-ad : Astral Warrior 07. 10'18" Children Of Paradise : El Nino 08. 10'13" Digital Sun : Strange Things 09. 10'06" Planet BEN : Nonsense Review: Let me start by saying, that this compilation and Goa Classix Vol. 2 are available at MIDPRICE . Meaning about £5-7 and I believe that they can be found at that price all over Europe (Or world-wide wherever Nova Tekk is distributed!) As the tracklist above reveals these are real goa classics, and for me this is a good way of getting to know some of the old, classic, but hard-to-get tracks from the past years of psychedelic trance. Stand outs are Hallucinogen [Of course! :-)], Astral Projection [This is STILL one of my fav'e Astral trax from before they sucked!], Green Nuns, Planet B.E.N., . Yeah well, ALL the tracks are classics, and if anyone are having problems finding the originals, I highly recommend this compilation. At a very affordable price! The only thing that sucks about this comp is the artwork. But all in all, this gets a solid 7.5/10 from me! Bom shankar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insejn Posted January 26, 2001 Share Posted January 26, 2001 What to say?! This is a good way to get all those classic tracks. If you can't get the original anymore. As Deathposture said this is available at midprice world-wide. Ugly artwork but good comp. Fav tracks are 1,4,6,7. 7/10 Bom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG.. thats goa at its best.. go buy this album now.. NOT because it's cheap, buy it for the good music!! HALLUCINOGEN HU AQBAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsu Posted March 11, 2001 Share Posted March 11, 2001 Not a bad compilation and really worth to buy. My favourite is Jiggle of the Sphinx that sounds absolutey crazy with the pipes. Also great is Astral Warriors, just the sample at the beginning is a bit odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vir2alExp Posted April 17, 2001 Share Posted April 17, 2001 I don't think that those songs on this comp. is CLASSIX but anyway middle great comp. 5/10 Bom shankar from DK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xplorer Posted May 18, 2001 Share Posted May 18, 2001 Ok, the only tune worth listening to is Astral Warrior! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AshonaciD[at]Shpongle[dot]com Posted September 21, 2001 Share Posted September 21, 2001 Astral Warrior SUCKS! Mabye the song gets better after the sample but it's perhaps the worst sample in psychedelic trance in my opinion, and i can't be bothered listening to the song as soon as the sample starts. as for the rest, the last two tracks are average, but every other track is a standout. Definately Worth the asking price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy from german (gfg) -- peacema Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 I think that is the best volume of the goa classix compilation! Real Classix and very, very good tracks. e.g. "False Prophet" (the guitar sampel realy kick asses!!) "Astral Warrior" (one of the greatest tracks ever) and, of course, "Jiggle of the Sphinx" (very crazy & good sounds!!!). Only "Dancing Galaxy" is shit! (I've heared many better tracks from AP!!). 9,5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest renar[at]goa[dot]ru Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 Very good CD! But I think Dancing Galaxy is one of the best tracks I ever heard. Not stupid minimal but melody and flexy... All tracks are best, but DG is culmination of the CD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindtwister Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 A very good compil. A lot of nice classics, some are still incredible good, for example Oforia - Maximiser and Chi-Ad - Astral Warrior. Its also a good cd to introduce people to the music. // Rasmus from Sweden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest niels_knigge[at]ofir[dot]dk Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 A very nice ompilation. Track one a great track from Hallucinogen, with a Celtic passage in the end. Track two and three remind me of each other, the are both good, with guitars (or is it just one of them?), and not so must ordinary keyboard play, a little twisted and psychedelic, nice. Maximiser is probably my favourite Oforia track, Especially the break in the middle of the track. Dancing Galaxy is one of Astral's best tracks, I just freaks out at the last break. Best track of the CD. Track 6 is one the few Chi-Ad tracks I like (together with Eye Am The I, Biocandy and Exit Eternity). It's a very emotinal piece of music, with a very freaky melody sometimes. Last three tracks are boring, and i dont like that much... 7/10(one for each good track, and an extra for Dancing Galaxy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraph Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 I don't have this compilation but I have all songs from and I can say that is wonderful...Full of classics: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9...Without actually having it I can still give the grade : 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptn Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Thirteen posts and almost every track has been marked as someone's favourite (the same time 2 or 3 were bashed as crap, you gotta love different tastes ). It's a sign of a great compilation, right? Even someone mildly interested in goa trance should know some of the producers just by looking at the playlist. As few posters wrote - great starter compilation, favourites: 1 (IMO best triplet-rhythm track ever) and 5, but all of them are worth your attention.

Trance2MoveU Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Whew...they mean business over there at Sub Terranean. Know how I know? Classics with an X. That's edgy and not f*cking around. But while it's true a few of these are classics you can find them all over the place. Cool thing is this album is dirt cheap so it'll save you some green if you don't have these. But if you're reading this I'm sure you already do. Few things... I hate...absolutely hate Jiggie of the Sphinx. That riverdance melody annoys the crap outta me. Astral Warrior is the track with the oft repeated sample which kinda takes away from its greatness. Don't know if I'd call the last three classics (I wouldn't) but they're still good tracks. So the title of the compilation is mostly correct with a few wtfs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormion Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I hate...absolutely hate Jiggie of the Sphinx. You and me buddy. When I first listened to it I thought it was a joke track like a parody of something. Only after coming in Psynews I realized it's a serious(?) track that has many fans.
