Whatever happened to organic instruments in goatrance?

[Penzoline]

I've been listening to old school the whole day and it keeps popping to my head that where are all the organic instruments? Old school had tons. It wasn't all synths. New school has them but very little! Bring back didgeroos and sitars and start mixing! Also more tribal nature tracks on top of that!

Do you think they're usually samples, or played specifically for the track? I'd love to use something acoustic to mix it up.

[Penzoline]

Samples 90% of the time I'd guess.

I never liked organic instruments in goa/psy. I'm ok with them in ambient/downtempo, but when it comes to dance I prefer it 100% electronic.

It brings great variance and organicness for goa, which are things it needs imo.

Whaa, I can't be the only one here who thinks organic instruments and chant samples give goa greater dynamics. Or can I?

I agree. It's very simple for me. Use whatever makes the track more complex and unique. Sometimes "organic" instruments do the job. Sort of like how some of the best melodys are the most simple ones you never thought to think of.

I'm with Ormion. The Elysium remix of The Source isn't bad, but it is a rare example of where this stuff actually works. In 95% of cases, it kills the track for me. However, a mighty fine and well known track (captain obvious strikes again) where organic instruments elevate the sound to new heights and adjacent relams is:

well actually that didgeridoo sample sounds a LOT like the one in the intro to Scarab...

 

 

and while we're talking about organic instruments and originality... nothing even comes close to this IMO:
