DEFEND THE INDEFENSIBLE - F4cking GOA Trance

No, that would be Planet Dog (with bands like Children of the Bong).

It's a token favourite, though. Any more than 10 minutes of the stuff, and my brain turns to mush. It's all squibbly-wibbly-wibbly on the top and oompoom-oompoom-oompoom on the bottom, and it NEVER CHANGES...

Can we talk about Psytrance? Like, as a movement?

i think i need to hear some of that stuff.

There's lots of good stuff though, the dub side of psy/goa can be fantastic and if you're more into the techno side of things you can't go wrong with Midi Miliz/The Delta/Spirallianz and the rest of the German Ruhr-area branch which refrain from the kaleidoscopic melodies thing.

Actually, I like some Juno Reactor "if that counts" -- but I downloaded a ton of GOA comps and they were AWFUL.

Anyway, Boredoms sideproject stuff that rubs up other genres doesn't suffer from the aestheticly limited vision of the genres.

This stuff is not respected much on ilm or in the dance music press and that's fine. This vitroil it is only matched by the vitriol of psytrance hippies when they talk about house.

But anyway, if you go to a good party in the mountains and with an E and you have set and setting it can go right off.

Seventy percent of this stuff is sold in Japan, FWIW.

I can't recommend anything specific because I'm not that into it, but railing against it without ever having gone to a party is silly.

It's like improv, you know? If you're not actually there, somehow the recorded document doesn't cut it.

I once did try to wade through and find the best of the best but all I came up with was progressive stuff like Son Kite.

Any ideas?

OTM. I really like unfashionable dance music.

like polka?

Any ""variety"" of this stuff is 100% indefensible tripe ""live"" (on DAT) or in recorded form. Not even worth the contrarian posturing really. UGH!

GOA WAY

Hehe, just yesterday I got in the mail this little thing. Copies of the original 1997 pressing would regularly go up to several hundred euros on eBay. Probably the most sought after goa album ever (together with Pleiadians' IFO and Accidental Occidentalism, maybe).

Of the modern psy strains I can't get into full-on or darkpsy, but some of the progressive and psybient releases I like. The latest Human Blue album is brilliant.

I keep collecting the classic goa material from the 94-99 period (Flying Rhino, Blue Room, Matsuri, Spirit Zone, TIP...), I just never tire of the stuff.

The awesome Flying Rhino is back!

New releases are planned but the biggest news is that the whole back catalog of Flying Rhino music will be available as MP3s for free download including "Rock Bitch Mafia", "Awakening" and "Blue Planet Corporation".

A new website is up at http://www.flyingrhino.co.uk/. The audio files are currently held offline while permissions from the producers are obtained for every track.
