Blair Thaumic Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 One of the best things about being a Goa fan today is how many old, obscure, and lost tracks (along with other documents of the scene) are now coming to light. Everyone can find out as much about the scene's history as they want to, and I encourage doing so! But in order for that history to have an impact, it has to be studied and applied. I'm not someone who believes that the past was always better, but there's always something to be learned from the past, and also from other, parallel developments happening contemporary to your own scene. In that spirit, here's a few recommendations for artists and DJs looking to broaden and deepen their musical understanding. Feel free to add your own. http://www.discogs.com/groups/topic/372528 Some tracks played by DJ Laurent in the 80s/early 90s that led to the creation of Goa trance. There's some interesting links and commentary in the thread, too. https://www.youtube.com/user/TheUAEcars/ Reconstructed Goa sets (some going all the way back to the 1970s!) with a story to tell about the parties and musical philosophy of their time. https://www.youtube.com/user/Whirlytunes/ Some astounding and rare mixes on this page, most from the early nineties. http://zyron.c64.org/index.php Midtempo mutant dance. Not trance, but definitely psychedelic, and indirectly related to the original Goa sound and vibe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balance Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'd actually love a compilation of proto-Goa/Psy. Remastered, 2xcd minimum or a digital only would do. I find proto-Goa type stuff so much more enjoyable now than actually Goa& Psy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolmot Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'd actually love a compilation of proto-Goa/Psy. There was this CD a few years ago. Maybe not 100% match but something at least... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balance Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Yup got that one but it's just one CD. A taster with no follow up. Wish it'd been 2 CDs. Or a digital compilation of like 30 tracks. It's exoensive to hunt down lots of the old tracks second hand, and a lot I find are vinyl and got no vinyl player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I have been having a blast exploring music from the very early days. Here's one I found recently that I got a kick out of... dating back to 1988! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proxeeus Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Nice topic! This reminds me of a mix made of pretty early stuff broadcast years ago on GoatRanch (you can either stream it or download it) Clicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negrosex Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I like that old stuff, would be cool if artists got inspiered by this music and kind of started from scratch. Producing a new totally different branch of music, evoling out of that sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
