Review:

 

This review is unusual as this is a mix that lasts for 7h21 !!

THE STORY:

Usually Goa Gil officially releases a big set, recorded live, every year. Those

mixes can only be found on tapes. If you're from Europe, you'll probably have

difficulties in finding them. If you're interested, i can tell you we (thanks

Kunani, Zack And Damien) found the tapes in San Francisco - Goa Gil's city -

at Frequency 8 shop . See shops section.

THE MIX:

So! Let's talk about music now. The set itself is....average...but this is

Gil's style, you know. Only him doesn't know that it's nearly impossible to

mix DATs while the track is still at its highest point (remember the Spiritual

Trance series? - same thing!).

So don't expect a glorious mix, but "a Goa Gil mix" :)

and of course, who could mix correctly during more than 7 hours?

 

THE MUSIC:

The tracks temselves are...Great! Gil played there all his new tracks, or the

tracks that could make poeple to dance...so the result is very good. All along

the tapes, you realize that the style evolves as the night unrolls. So all

possible definitions of psychedelic trance are studied here, for everyone's

pleaure. No-one forgotten.

THE ANALYSIS:

While listening, I could say that I knew nearly every track...of course the

tracks are all released now, but in March 2000, it wasn't the case for most of

them...imagine the party people had during this Goa Gil performance!

I noticed tracks by the Yeti project, Hux Flux, Absolum, Xenomorph, Tripiatrik,

PsySex, Psychaos, Etnica, Atmos, Logic Bomb, Mindfield, Cydonia, Talamasca,

Phreaky, GMS, Oforia, and many many others during the performance.

At the begining, the set is ambient, them comes the rhythm, then the set is

more And more crazy. At the "middle of the night", it's totally wicked! then

there are strong morning tracks, to make people dance, but not become

mad.....eventually there are soft tracks at the end of the side B of the last

tape....and the music ends....and...and...at the very end i heard: Psycho

remix by Infected Mushroom!

THE VERDICT:

So, killing people like that should be forbidden !

Gil is definitely insane and deserves 8/10 for this awesome night-mix, the

quantity and the quality of the played artists.

I heard some of the discs as well and it sounds awesome. Lots of old tracks but

also some new stuff as well. I heard 8 and 10 and there is some really good

chill tracks. Not all of the tracks are chill tracks but at least no night

stuff. From what I have heard 7/10.

Now this is goa, Gil is a very enlightened man... this is a great educational

experience on how to play a live set... leave the mixing aside (it's not that

important to a normal party goer) and see the way the series is setup.. how it

builds and goes completely crazy. This is trance at its glory, almost

spiritual.. but then that's what gil plays for... he treats it like a

religious experience.. i went for enuff gil raves in goa... the man has such

an aura... i would recommend this to any up and coming dj who wants to learn

about trance... i was fortunate enough to pick up enough live set tapes on my

visit to goa.. man these guys are soo good.. look at the limited technology

they started with (gil used to use walkmans back in the day).. its almost like

they are enlightened.

brilliant stuff... the setup is what is key to a good set..

Hello 2 all of you!

I rarely write anything in the "review" section, but i must write about this mix.

Getting this mix is very hard & i spent many months until i had the chance of getting it.

I knew it gonna be something else, but i surely didn't expcet such a brilliant mix.

The chilly start grabs you right away & it keeps growing until it gets to the more psy part.

Then we have some morning sounds & a softer mood.

I won't talk on each part, as the first reviewer did it pretty well.

I wanna say that the mixing is good.

I like the way Gil mixes. He has a rought attitude towards mixing & this is

actually good, because you don't come to a lame disco or something.

You come to the forest.

Gil is not a DJ!!! He is a Techno Shaman. You have to remember that in order to

understand his sets & this set.

This is the best set i ever heard in my life & i'm sure that this is the best

set that was ever played on this planet.

Get it if you can, as this is the best of the best.

2010 !

This is as some of ht guys above said a mix that is about 7½ hours... 7½ hours

pure joy and happiness... Ok, Goa Gil is not the worlds greatest beat-mixer,

but anyway this Livset kicks as! Have never heard anything like this... It's

incredible amazing!

This is as the guy above me said "This is the best of the best"! Get it if you

can! 10/10
