Here is a release from the Suntrip Records sublabel that brings hard to find or obscure music from the past in high quality digital format. This album is an example of an artist I've never heard of so for that I'm grateful. Always good to open the mind. It's the first project of Prana members and Sonic Sufi and the music can be described as proto-goa or early goa trance without the swirling melodies. More of a stripped down style. The building blocks of what would be to come.

If you are into that more bare bones approach when it comes to your goa trance then you will enjoy this. The goa we all love had to start somewhere and this is an early part of that foundation. While more on the minimal side there are still some interesting passages to be found here. It's also easy to see the genesis of the Prana sound. Alas this type of "goa trance" isn't for me. It's techno roots and simple production has me yearning for more lush and layered productions. Most of the tracks don't evolve much and I tend to lose focus. Perhaps it's undiagnosed ADHD.

File this under interesting historically, but not all releases are home runs.
