when commercial trance artists make goa

Well usually it's the underground artists who decide to jump in the commercial bandwagon but it happens every once in a while that a commercial artist ventures into goa territory and usually the end result is pretty darn good IMO. I know of John 00 Fleming's attempts to get the best from both worlds but I've recently stumbled on this and was AMAZED, it makes the perfect morning track IMO:

Hmmm something is pretty contradictory here... A while ago you started a thread about 'undergroud artists' that started to make 'commercial crap'. you where talking about a trance track from protoculture, that is very similar in style to this track.

So when a commercial artist uses some underground elements, it's good music, but when it's the other way around, it's 'an underground artist making commercial crap'.

Something i don't understand, and apparently a lot of people here seem to think this way.

anyway, nothing against you personally, just a way of thinking i find pretty weird.

 

Good track by the way :)

Well, not actually Goa. Despite that Subtara's track from 3:00 on is pure Goa - but because that piece of melody is really a Goa track, I just can't remember its title (isn't it a Man With no Name's old track?).

But I think the formula is the other way round: some elements you think is Goa actually is 1980s trance, like the 303 that was incorporated into Goa, and not introduced by Goa.

hmmm well said ;) Well I guess that the main issue is that in the end I prefer psytrance to regular trance hence I'll be bitching when an artist makes the kind of trance that I like less and will be happy when he makes the kind of trance that I prefer ;)

hmm you are saying that it is an actual rip-off? It might be, although I think that the arpeggio is just very similar to many many goa tracks out there without actually being a rip-off... And yes I guess you're right on the 80s stuff, still you have the oriental elements like in that Punjabi Child track that can't be attributed to 80s stuff IMO.

 

 

heyyy thanks, I didn't know that one :)
