Cool thanks! Now I remember, that’s something I used to spend a lot of time doing, looking up the origin of the samples. It was kind of like the lyrics site genius for psytrance. Before genius.com of course. Funny thing is nowadays you can find some stuff like that on genius.com as well, for example Infected Mushroom-The Shen. https://genius.com/Infected-mushroom-the-shen-lyrics and The Missed Symphony https://genius.com/Infected-mushroom-the-missed-symphony-lyrics The artist/group discography was also quite vast. Overall with all the combined information the site contained, it was a bit like the blotter vault at erowid. But for psy trance. Very interesting trip down memory lane browsing the artist pages now on psydb via waybackmachine: https://web.archive.org/web/20171019200653/https://www.psydb.net/artists/m/miranda.php

God-tier. Multi-talented polymath. You got the midas touch son. I love how down to earth you are ”최근 밴드명 AZ NHJO BILL GATES HYENNNRO(아즈 노흐즈오 빌게이츠 현느로)” The Bill Gates of God Trance. The CEO of trance godfathers.

CEO-Trance. CEO of God.

Christmas vibes.. kinda fitting since some people don’t think santa is real.. I must applause on the ingenious track names. Look out the window 1.0 Look out the window 2.0 Some heavy thinking behind it

God Trance must be some Simon Godford stuff.

Yes that struck me as well, at least in my memory it was a very visual and fun to navigate site. My guess is they perhaps migrated the content from an older system or something. Or just tried to update the look I dunno. It’s basically dead now with no new updates.

Nice, I saw Infected at Arvika as well. My memory is a bit blurry but around 2004 perhaps? Looking at Arvika festivals wikipedia made me even more confused. Infected played there several times 2005 seems to be the time I went there.

That is possible I don’t know, I guess discogs came and killed the game It would be sad if discogs disappears one day.

Ooh Goa Head vol 5 that was a real epic bomb! Even the girls at school had that one and loved Hallucinogen-Gamma Goblins Part 2 The Spiritual Healing remix was amazing as well. We used to play playstation 1 and listen to it. I really like the collab between Simon Posford and Dick Trevor on Infernal Machine-The Loin Sleeps Tonight. The Green Nuns track Klunk was funny. Especially on weed. The Shiva Shidapu track was very popular here as well. I guess the goofy playful Nitzho elements worked well with teens at that time. There was even a commercial on TV for Goa Head 5 here in Sweden, if my memory serves me right. And The Deltas track was really something new and different. Really cool.

Well there are so many jokes/conspiracy theories around this, so I can’t really pin-point one particular one. This goes way back. And why are you so overly sensitive? Chill man. The internet is full of drama/lies/trolls/sad stuff. Nothing you do will change that. You act as if you have a personal bond to a random guy on the internet whom you never met. A bit like someone who falls in love with a catfish that is a totalIy made up character. I understand your point of view, and it’s of course not nice to be as unemphatic as some of the trolls have been here. But beeing hyper-emphatic can be a bit too much as well. Just saying. When you joined this forum in 2015, NHJO was allready a legend by then since many years before that. He have at least two different accounts, one way old and now this one. And he kept coming back despite all the trolls. So I guess he likes this place a lot you know? A bit of humor is essential. My impression is that NHJO has that.

The NHJO is out there.. ~The X-Files theme playing~

Slinky Wizard-Slick Witch Hallucinogen-Thugs In Tye-Dye From https://www.discogs.com/Various-Sun-Trip-Second-Phase/release/300588 Really nice tracks I saw Slinky Wizard perform live here in Sweden at Mindscape 4 in 1997.

I remember mine very vividly. I had a friend at the time who worked briefly, at some kind of compact disc manufacturing or distribution center here in Sweden. So he got a lot of free CD-singles and compilations. Which he distributed among his peers at school. I gladly accepted these new very peculiar looking CD's, the graphics on them was very different and new for me stylewise. Among them was the Hallucinogen-LSD CD-single, Distance To Goa 3 and Distance To Goa 4. So the year was 1996, and what a great introduction that proved to be to goa-trance. Since I hadn't heard any goa-trance up until that point, I really got a good taste of what it was at it's zenith. Which I think would be there between 1996/1998 depending on who you ask. After that I purchased Sun Trip - Second Phase in 1996 and Goa Head-Vol 2 in 1997, and was equally impressed. And then ventured into all kinds of albums and compilations. When was your first exposure to goa-trance? And what album/compilation/CD-single was it?

Yes it’s a really solid compilation, I really hold Flying Rhinos catalogue extremely high. A very distinct sound, style and high quality. Listening now to Slinky Wizard-The Wizard(Koxbox Remix). This tracks freaking amazing, it's like the essence of camouflaged LSD-drenched melodic layers. It has some of the flavours I like from Fuel On. To my knowledge there is no neogoa that captures that vibe

Daaym that sounds intriguing indeed. Is it available for listening somewhere? This one is also mad cool. https://youtu.be/vjy11YvEbY4

The quoting function is messed up? Or maybe I’m too tired lol

Well if you ever travelled near the suns surface, and somehow magically came back unharmed to earth. I’m pretty sure the fires we have here would seem rather cool in comparison. Perspectives and relativistic endeavours from an amateurish heuristic viewpoint.

Slinky Wizard + Hallucinogen and Koxbox.

Haha that’s epic. Well basically NHJO has become the Yeti(doge) of psynews. Nobody knows what’s real and what’s not anymore. The footprints are everywhere. And yes I do want to BELIEVE!

So I just remembered this site which I used to browse a lot in the early days. Before discogs came around. I went to the site to check if it was still online, and it was. So while reading the ”about” section where psynews is mentioned, I just became curious who made the site, and what he/she is called here? I think psydb is a unique database with information. That I personally feel would be really cool if it was integrated to psynews. Like psynews own little discogs. Perhaps if the person behind psydb don’t fancy it. Perhaps someone here could make something similar for this forum? The psydb site is not updated anymore. And I think it would be great with something similar but that is updated with all the neogoa stuff as well. So that while browsing this site for reviews/interviews etc, releases would be easily browsed/researched as well. Without having to check everything on discogs. Stupid idea?

Interesting backstory what year was that circa? I guess it shows just how little time I personally spent in the offtopic section. It was active as hell, but pure toxic most of the time.

It's funny sometimes when I browse discogs, Radi's reviews over there show up. Atleast I think that's the same guy who was active here?

Jokes aside, I think it's very nice that NHJO has been active over so many years here. I think he is an integral part of Psynews lore by now. So many people left this forum. For various reasons, madness, drug abuse, probably internet abuse most of all lol. So perhaps we should value the few remaining active members of this community, and give NHYO some kind of token of appreciation. Perhaps a custom member title? Btw, the offtopic section of this forum was always the most crowded part. So I find it kind of confusing as to where all these trolls/users who used to frequent the offtopic section went? It's not that they were particulary interested/active in the psy/goa/reviews etc part of the forum. Perhaps they went trolling the techno crowd. Perhaps reddit became their next shot of digital dope?
