as it is quite impossible to define when does acid trance began it is quite impossible to define when goa trance first release was
psychedelic trance is as old as human kind
then you can talk about electrification of guitar, of digitalisation of the sound, of psychedelic rock of the 70's, psyche disco of the mid 70's, new wave, cold wave, indus, gothic, teknorock, aicidhouse, acid trance, goatrance, psytrance etc...
but to say that sfx or eat static were the first project to release "goa trance " is not right
the lsd track from simon existed on DAT under the name pruple ohm and was as old as the previous ones
there is no "beginning" but ever changing mix of styles and subgenres that interpenetrate themselves in a never ending evolution
was there really a big bang of the universe ??? :-)
even if i understand that this topic about first goa release is often asked on isratrance, psynews or any psyche forums...I think without any offences that it is a useless one
best vibes
