Guest The Hypnotic LFO Room Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 I can see where you're coming from. The country of the Goa Trance scene was a state of mind. It transcended geography. exactly! 100% Quote
Imba Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Hang on, are we talking music or parties? I've partied loads in the UK, never in Israel so can't say. When you play once in Israel, rest of world will be boring Quote
technosomy Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 they invented rock, they invented metal dnb,techno.... and psy no exception!!! Quote
radi6404 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 I just wanted to say, that when it comes to goa trance, UK has one artist that is really a competitor against Israel, Martin Freeland. He is definatly on par with the best Israelian artists, but Israel did have more than one artist like that, however Martin Freeland is another class. Quote
GagaISM Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 I love Moment of Truth, but Martin Freeland has nothing on early Hallucinogen. Quote
franki Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 I'm from the UK, so it may be no surprise to learn that I prefer UK Psy / Goa. If we're talking just about the parties back in the 1990s, I've no experience of Israel, but can safely say that the likes of Spacehopper in Birmingham where I was a regular and Return To The Source, London, were about as awesome as a trance party can get!

radi6404 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 I love Moment of Truth, but Martin Freeland has nothing on early Hallucinogen. Man with no Name is one of the best artists in goa history for sure, just listen to this track and you will not disagree to that anymore. this remake is as impressive as goa trance gets. Quote
GagaISM Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Not into that track to be honest. Never liked Overlords either. Quote
Richpa Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 I can't speak about the party scene, but if you look at the labels who were devoted into releasing and promoting Goa trance music, UK gave s lot more than Israel:Dragonfly RecordsPerfecto FluoroFlying RhinoBlue Room ReleasedTIP Records Twisted Records Quote
Mantra604 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 for me exist ~ 3-4 outstanding israeli (goatrance) artist; like Astral Projection,Ofer 'Indoor/Phreaky' Dikovsky and MFG and maybe Mystica .. its VERY FEW! i think that , other artists and the whole isratrance are HIGHLY overrated.Most of israeli compilations is boring & meaningless, so they are quickly forgettable.(there are lot of nitzhonot's ,which is TRASH of goatrace genre..!Except, if you can be found UK artists just check it.. example: Goa Vibes or similarsyou can find here Slinky Wizard, Cosmosis, Psychaos, Doof, Shakta, Infinity Project, Juno Reactor, UX etc..So, UK is much better...(IMO) 1 Quote
Tatsu Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 My vote goes to Israel but the UK has very impressive goa artists too: Simon Posford, MWNN, Infinity Project, OOOD... Imho the difference between the output of the two countries (quality wise I mean) isn't that big. Quote
Padmapani Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 the uk has d5, mwnn, hallucinogen, cosmosis, chi-ad, shakta, ... while isreal has astral and mfg. a fairer comparison would be uk vs. sweden+germany. there must be something special about that island that brings forth great musicians. from the beatles to pink floyd, jethro tull, black sabbath, ..., the beginning of the rave scene, spiral tribe, dnb, ... Quote
Manuser Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 damn voted Israel but i forgot about Chi-AD ! can't change my vote anymore lol fav british artists back in the days : Chi-AD and Darshan. Edit: actually can change my vote, done! Quote
Mantra604 Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 @off : i think that most of talented goatrance artists are jewish ancestry..(regardless of the countries..) I have such a feeling. They are in relation with God...you can feel it in his music.. Quote
draeke Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Well, UK is my first choice but on the other hand I have never been to israel, so I cannot comment too much about parties. What I can say is that the music was superior in terms of production in the UK, that's no doubt, israel always had too much sha-la-la vibe , but of course there are some classix from there too Quote

It´s not only Astral and MFG that are incredible from Israel, there are other incredible artists aswell, however Astral and MFG where another class of artists indeed. I did not know that Chi-Ad, Shakta and Dimension 5 were from the UK. Quote

radi6404 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 I thought Chi-Ad was from a more exotic country based on their sound, and I always thought that Dimension 5 were Australian. I did not even think Shakta wer from the UK, the sound was always to soft iny my opinion to be from an UK artist. Shakta used a very soft sound at times which was not characteristical for the UK.

dribbles1 Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 The question is: where is Simon Posford from? Quote
Manuser Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 The question is: where is Simon Posford from?no, the real question is are you from Sweden, Canada, US? Quote
masen023 Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 UK for sure!!! @manuser: I think it is Neil from from Canada.... Quote
Rotwang Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 no, the real question is are you from Sweden, Canada, US? He's from Australia. Quote
