Alien Prototypes 2: The Raygun Years

[Walkabout]

This set was recorded live at the old-school Goa revival party "Bring That Beach Back". It's composed of nearly two hours of 1983-89 techno/edm/proto goa trance.

 

The first half is the 'sunny' mix; melodic, mostly 4/4, and clearly trancy. The midsection and second half go into dark synthpop and industrial territory a la Ministry/FLA, with a heavy dose of cold war paranoia; late night jungle freak out music. The last several tracks are melodic again, but darker, further down the psychedelic spiral; and it finishes with one of the most unique tracks you'll ever hear.

 

I make no claims to historical accuracy! ;P This is merely what I'd play if I was a DJ in Goa in the eighties. Nothing more, nothing less. I hope that oldtimers and newschoolers alike find it amusing, and perhaps, even a little informing.
