Guest clark_303 Posted September 21, 2001 Posted September 21, 2001 V/A - Goa Classix 3 Artist: Various Title: Goa Classix 3 Label: Nova Tekk Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. 07'26" Zodiac Youth : Devil Circus (Elysium Mix) 02. 07'00" Jupiter 8000 : Saturn 03. 10'03" MOS : Bug 04. 07'33" Hallucinogen : Horrorgram 05. 08'34" Green Nuns Of The Revolution : Conflict 06. 07'08" Shakta : The Future Is Now 07. 12'27" Chi-ad : Pathfinder 08. 09'05" Atmos : Bad Lieutenant 09. 08'04" SUN Project : Casio-Paya Review: This is a great compilation combining old school tracks with progressive trance(minimal tracks, that is). Most of these(if not all) are found on albums so if you have a lot of albums from the nineties, you have these tracks...The first track is a good example of older British psy-trance sound but is not really exceptional in any way, still a very good track. Jupiter 8000 is Boris Blenn and Daniel Vernunft and their track is a groovy minimalistic one, but it's not the new psy-techno sound though, it doesn't have that huge bass or anything. It has actually quite an original atmosphere. 3rd track is a trippy one that concentrates on metallic and alien sounds that really work. The name Bug fits very well. Horrorgram is very well-known so I don't need to comment on it...Green Nuns track is their usual sound, high pitched synth lines with original bass drum sound and of course the acid lines eventually come in too. A steady track that doesn't let you down and even has some very creative breaks. Shakta's track is great too. Sweeping acid lines, scifi-melodies and very crunchy sounds with the great vocal sample of the title. The beat is what I'd call very typical of Shakta. Track 7 is not that typical Chi-A.D. sound but nonetheless, I love it, tribal atmosphere and very heavy percussions and technoish and industrial sounds combined with psy-trance sounds. I love that female vocal. A true masterpiece! Atmos track is very hypnotic and intelligent with really no melodies until 5 minutes. But after the long wait the melodies sound really good and it's a very carefully composed track indeed, it manages to surprise you again in the end. The S.U.N. Project track is very dark at first(but changes a little in the middle) with huge bass and driving bassline. A true stomper with great beat and lots of interesting sounds. So this compilation is definitely worth the money if you don't have these tracks elsewhere. Quote
Guest Psycobalt Posted September 21, 2001 Posted September 21, 2001 "Conflict" is very energetic, and "Pathfinder" great! I dont know the rest. Quote

Guest Deku81 Posted September 21, 2001 Posted September 21, 2001 i don't consider much of these tracks as classics Quote
Guest M Posted September 22, 2001 Posted September 22, 2001 finally horrorgram gets some attention Quote
DeathPosture Posted September 23, 2001 Posted September 23, 2001 Yeah, I was going to review this, but Clark beat me to it! ;o) ... Anyway you really get your money worth with this one - as it is available at midprice... Pretty much all tracks are true classics! 7.5/10! Bom shankar! Quote
Guest pogi[at]kawiarenka.com[dot]pl Posted December 21, 2001 Posted December 21, 2001 Horrogram is the best Quote
Guest MG Posted February 16, 2002 Posted February 16, 2002 I second that motion, best track on Lone Deranger & best track on this compilation by far here! Quote
seraph Posted March 20, 2002 Posted March 20, 2002 Well, this one don't look that classy like first two...still, lots of classics : 1,2,4,5,6,7,9...but still, they could have put some other classics... Quote
Guest 303[at]ozu[dot]es Posted April 8, 2002 Posted April 8, 2002 I call "classics" other trax than these, but is good music, Hallucinogen-Horrorgram its the best cut of this cd Quote
Asterope Posted April 14, 2002 Posted April 14, 2002 An average comp !! #4, Horrorgram is excellent, one of my fav simon's track. #5, #6 and #9 are also pretty good. But there are pure shit, Pathfinder is disgusting and bad lieutenant and bug are so annoying :-( !!! On the whole : 4.5/10 Quote
Guest Le Lotus Bleu Posted June 11, 2002 Posted June 11, 2002 I shouldn't normally have bought this compilation but the fact is i found in second hand. So mid price comp in second hand means very cheap investment for quite good old goa but not classics stuffs (it's a bit exagerated) for me. best moments come from tracks 1,3,4,5,9. Advice:if you find in second hand like me ,don't hesitate ,go buy it. Quote
Trance2MoveU Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Oh boy. 3rd in a series? Usually spells doom. However... Loved the Bug. Loved it. Smooth and sinister. That gradual time signature change in Horrorgram is pretty slick as well. Conflict by the Nuns is a stormer and The Future is Now by Shakta is one that demands movement. Like a lot of people I used to hate Pathfinder, but now I find it so interesting. Having more in common with Cydonia /Elysium than Etnica and Dimension 5 this tribal stomp is hypnotic especially when the vocal arrives. It just keeps churning. Not bad for the last entry in a trilogy. Quote
