Lemmiwinks Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 so in my search for that first track that started it all I stumbled upon this: Nitzer Ebb - Getting Closer (Trance Mix) released on an obscure 12" in 1990!! It basically sounds like industrial but there are some parts that sound very very much like goatrance. First of all, I was amazed to see the word "trance" used in a record that old and second of all, when thinking about those stories about goan DJs editing tracks on their DAT players I could just close my eyes and see exactly what parts they'd throw out and what they'd keep. It was very interesting :-) So does anyone else know this track? What are your opinions? SMI²LE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmiwinks Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 oh and it says that the trance mix was done by one Tony Garcia. Does anyone know anything about this dude? SMI²LE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mugge Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Check out some earlier works by Nitzer Ebb and you'll see where a lot of trance acts got their inspiration from and then check out DAFs early works ( Der Mussolini... ) and you'll see where Nitzer got their sound from... now we're back in the early 80s...

Guest djcl.ear Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 I am checking right now, the "Shame" single from Nitzer EBB from 1989. I have it for the William Orbit remixes, nothing close to trance though. And this diversity shows they were experimenting at that time. While at this, you might check the track "Set the controls for the heart of the bass" from the 1990 samely named album by Bass-o-matic(wOrbit's then outfit). This is a very psytrance track together with extensive use of 303, ethnic/electronic percusion, clever hihats, elevating structure, even sample at the end. Actually there is an interview at M8 magazine 1990 in which WO tells about his trip to Asia where he played some music in a allnight party at the seashore and they enjoyed the swirline baslines bouncing around the close islands... This search can go forever...specially because at that time the frontier between released and unreleased did not mattered. Musicians(some of them very well known already) were experimenting with sounds to enjoy and to produce special effects at special moments. I saw some were using more normal releases to show a bit of this music like the "Blue pearl" Alive CDsingle in which the third track is called "alive(goa mix)" 1990, it shows inside a picture of Youth holding Ganesh and David Gilmour and Richard Wright from the Pink Floyd fame that participated. Understand that this music was not thought of "albums" or "singles", the real outing was the CONNECTION, until today some djs save special tracks for special moments, not for releasing and not for listening while at a coctel or club...So trying to locate the first "official" releases helps to investigate but misses the real point of finding the real Psy/goa music from early times... People, like early Djs(on Jeff's paper) or Youth, Raja etc.. they could tell us. comes to mind what I read sometime about how somebody was(at Goa) writing down all the parties tracklisting, I doubt this could be done, but that shows someone was tracking...rather than head on the tunnels...jiji Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
