Guest psytrancer Posted August 5, 2001 Posted August 5, 2001 Just wanted to start a discussion here....what do you think is the first EVER psytrance.....I think Eat Static's 'Abduction' from 1993 might be, but I'm sure you have opinions of your own....please enlighten us. Quote
mars Posted August 5, 2001 Posted August 5, 2001 maybe also Transmissions / Juno Reactor (NovaMute 93) Quote
mars Posted August 6, 2001 Posted August 6, 2001 this albim was released a long time after but you're right, those are very old tracks, before the ones above. Quote
Guest tim thick Posted August 6, 2001 Posted August 6, 2001 WHAT? What about all the old goa and psy traxx from the eighties and before??? Pleeease dont make me start on this one AGAIN! Timo Quote
Guest Inukko Posted August 6, 2001 Posted August 6, 2001 The first ever goa track (I think) was Electrotete's "Anjuna Dawn", from `91, written by Ben Watkins and Stephen Holweck. If not that, then maybe Overlords "Sundown"... Quote
Guest StoNeY! Posted August 6, 2001 Posted August 6, 2001 Tim, can you give me some examples of tracks from the 80's, I'm very interested in discovering all this, especially rock influences and stuff... StoNeY! Quote

Cabaret Voltaire, Lords Of Acid, Portion Control, Lazer Cowboys, O*Men, GAD, Prga Khan (lordz), Snowy Red, Sonik Pedophile, Erotic Dissidents, Insectoid, Overlords, RHYTHM DEVICE <<<------ Hmmm oh yeah ANGEL (italy) etc..

Guest JiM Posted August 6, 2001 Posted August 6, 2001 E-Rection: Suck My Dang-A-long / Smoke My Dang-A-Long (Trigger) released back in -92. Very early goatrance i think!! //Jim Quote
Guest akira Posted August 6, 2001 Posted August 6, 2001 So are you talking about psytrance or psychedelic tracks in general? I don't think society just woke up one morning and said "Lets develop a style that will not only tap into peoples subconciousness but make them fly hard at the same time and make it so different it will be instantly recognizable over the world"...I don't think we ever will know the first track. Evolution ---> Re-evolution Quote
Guest Stormbringer Posted August 6, 2001 Posted August 6, 2001 I agree with Jim! Read my review: http://goatrance.free.fr/reviews/suckmyda.htm Quote
Guest AtomicCow Posted August 7, 2001 Posted August 7, 2001 Mandragora - Wicked Warp is all the way from '93 and that is definitely what we call goa trance. Quote
Guest tim thick Posted August 7, 2001 Posted August 7, 2001 Yes but it IS like this that we all woke up one morning (or stayed up the night) and thought out loud "Lets develop a style that will not only tap into peoples subconciousness but make them fly hard at the same time and make it so different it will be instantly recognizable over the world" But Akira that IS how it is.. That IS evolution at its best for a human to think like that. And ACT & LIVE like it also. Even though it might not be so easy to real eyes. Tim0 np: Amnesia - Ibiza.mp3 ))))) Quote
Guest Phaedrus Posted August 16, 2001 Posted August 16, 2001 Lords of Acid is cool, but NOT Goa/Psy Trance (at least not by my definition). I am not a historian, but to me Astral Projection (and yes I am ready for the 9,000 AP haters that will respond to this) started the Psy Trance sound as we know it today... Quote
Guest PROG_DEFECT Posted August 18, 2001 Posted August 18, 2001 The First goa must have created by SFX!!!! I have SFX tracks from 1989 PROG DEFECT... Quote
Guest Neomenia Posted September 3, 2001 Posted September 3, 2001 Hi! I must agree in part with Akira, and in part with Tim. I also thought that the very first GOA trax were released somewhere between 88 thru 91. BUT the origins go back as long as late 60's (or do you think "Psychedelic" trance just come by the use of psychedelics?) Indeed Tangerine Dream, Phoetus, Faust, PFM, Cabaret Voltaire (Industrial at that time), Pynk Floyd, Psychic TV, Killing Joke (originated in late 70's Punk), GoA (the artist), and a lot more started the experimentation with electronics-danceablemusic from 75 thru 85. (A lot of this bands have changed, if not finished and new bands taken their name). And then comes the evolution. But I put Lords of Acid in a more "housey" (if not acid house) definition. This should be read as an addenda to both comments, not to be taken as The Revealing Truth, as nobody has it. I could not say nothing from the "first" trax, as I had turned back myself to other kind of music at the begining of the 90's, and rediscover the wonders of the electronic music just in the mid 90's.

Guest Elysium Project Posted September 11, 2001 Posted September 11, 2001 Hey the sixties also had some big kick ass goa tracks...... They actually did do parties in Goa at that time....so what is goa music then??.....In my opinion just another label........ I consider bands such as Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Ultravox, Japan, Cabaret Voltare, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schultze, Devo, Human league, Visage and many others to be the true pioneers in electronic dance music...They have influenced anything from techno to Hip-hop and are present in all electronic styles today...........

DeathPosture Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Too bad this thread went totally apeshit. It had some interesting facts on old tunes. Quote
