Järsimähäiriö Posted October 6, 2001 Author Share Posted October 6, 2001 V/A - Goa Inside 1 Artist: Various Title: Goa Inside 1 Label: Connection Date: 1996 Track listing: 01. Phreaky : Paranormal Activity 02. Encens : spiritual Transgression 03. Man With No Name : Low Commotion 04. Total Eclipse : Can't Do That 05. Eat Static : Bony Incus (Man With No Name Rmx) 06. Sundog : Touch The Sun 07. Mindfield : Let's Get Stoned And Watch The Freaks 08. Alier : The Day Before Point 09. Cosmosis : San Yacid 10. Joking Sphinx : Nysos Review: Ok, this still is one of the best compilations I own. It was released only in Finland, and it hasn't been for sale for years. The reason I'm reviewing this is that everyone should go and get these timeless classics by any means necessary (yes, even MP3s are allowed). First track by Phreaky is probably the best of the best. I mean woah, it's so good and intense it'll blow your socks off, guaranteed! Truly full-on, truly melodic. Track 2 starts less hectic and developes into a beautifull morning-tune, superb. Next track by Martin Freeland is quite possible the best he ever made, uncompromised goa without a hint of club-cheese. Not too fast, soft and melodic. At this point you probably think I'm starting to go out of pro-verbs. Well, yes I am, but it doesn't matter really, as no words can do justice toTotal Eclipse's "can't do that"! Pure acid killer that'll mess your mind badly if you are not careful! I think "Bony incus" is the best known out of these tracks as it's appeared on several compilations, but it's great nevertheless. The following two tracks by Simon Carman and John Ford (+ Mark Allen in Mindfield) are catchy and a bit silly, but especially "Touch the sun" sounds very unique with an oriental theme, really nice. "Let's get stoned and watch the freaks" is somewhat weaker a track but the sample is arguably unforgettable. The only bad track on this album is "The day before point" by Finnish artist Alier, the levels are phukked up and only thing you can hear are the hi-hats. I can't imagine why this track got released at all, let alone on this otherwise great compilation. Oh well, on with the good ones, then. "San yacid" shouldn't need to much of an intrduction, let's just say it's an essential track to own, melodic tune in perfect Cosmosis fashion. "Nysos" by Joking Sphinx rounds up the album quite nicely with it's mellow rhytms and melodies, although it's pretty clearly audible that it was made ages ago. But at least it has aged with style. All in all, all the tracks except "The day before point" are a significant piece of goa trance history, and this compilation is a masterpiece among Finnish releases (BTW, where are they nowadays? And I'm not talking about overly-weird Exogenic stuff.). Make no mistake, this one gets a definite 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Psycobalt Posted October 6, 2001 Share Posted October 6, 2001 yes, paranormal activity is a powerful track! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nafchan[at]luukku[dot]com Posted October 6, 2001 Share Posted October 6, 2001 Yeah, 'the day before point' is quite bad. If we assume 'the point' is the releasing date of this compilation, Alier made his song only one day before the CD got out. The producer didn't even have time to remaster the song or anything. Hey! I'm just guessing here! Anyway, a nice compilation, although I like goa inside 3 much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest theorem Posted October 10, 2001 Share Posted October 10, 2001 Yes, Total Eclipse's "can't do that" is the best use of a 303 EVER! (at least I think that's a 303!) That was the song that made me a psy-junkie forever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 Update: I went to Spinestore in Helsinki and whaddaya know, they had one copy of "Goa Inside 1" for sale for only 69FIM (~$10US). My suggestion: Go get it before someone else does! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ihmine[at]pp.nic[dot]fi Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 my first hit of "goa", still the best "trance"-compilation i've heard! (can't say i would've listened to goa head's 1 through 15 yet, though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it back in 1997 in Denmark, but it sadly got stolen at a party. Anyway a good comp especially the first 6 tracks. 7.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trance2MoveU Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 All of these tracks (except The Day Before Point) are good and some are fantastic! I would start with San Yacid and Paranormal Activity and then go right to Let's Get Stoned and Watch the Freaks. Followed immediately with Low Commotion and the Bony Incus remix. That's five absolute killers right there. Spiritual Transgression and Touch the Sun are very good (though not on the same level as those previously mentioned). With Can't Do That and Nysos bringing up the rear. That's a pretty damn good comp right there! 9 above average tunes and one ugly friend. But packs of girls always travel with an ugly friend. Makes 'em feel better about themselves. Besides someone has to hold their hair back when they're chucking into a toilet. Mdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
