It's always nice to listen to Posford talk about music: Simon Posford - History, Fame and Psychedelic Creation. | KohPhanCast #29

I'm really looking forward to that album, especially the third disc. I have a very rare demo tape of theirs from that era. The tracks on that tape are: Ra - Intro Ra - Gateway (Original Mix) Ra - Gateway (Goa Mix) Ra - Cheops (Spirit Nomad Mix) Ra - Spiritual Odyssey Ra - Cheops (Caravan of Life)

That's awkward. 😅It appeared in my Spotify release as a new release, didn't think twice to double check if it was already released. Lesson learned. Thought it sounded familiar. It's still a boring release 16 years later. 😁

The Delta just released a new album called Minusman. There are a couple of good remixes: Nightmares & Dreamscapes (The Delta Remix), Midnight Circulator (The Delta Remix) and As A Child I Could Walk On The Ceiling (The Delta Remix). The rest is quite monotonous, not my cup of tea.

25 years but not going strong. I try to contribute regularly, but there are seldom any replies. We need to ramp up. Let's make 2025 a good year for psynews.

Not the best sound quality, but the energy and intensity back then was insane. Those were the days.

Now available @ Spotify and of course Bandcamp, for us non vinyl users. Those were the days!

Enjoy!

Have you tried posting the same question at Discogs? One of the acid forums could probably help you.

Sorry, friend, I can't agree. I've been listenning to goa trance since 1995, and I bought the compilations with their first tracks back in the day. Their music is very overlooked. Noone was talking excitedly about an Amtinaous release back then. Neither did I. Their music is only available at seven 1990's compilations. That's not much. Their tracks were released at POF and were never picked up by other independent labels. There are three EP releases at Discogs. The first one, which you quouted above has only three reviews, and they are all written after the Amtinaous Single Collections were released. Coincidence? I think not. The second release, Araxia (Remix) / Trip On Nexus, has five reviews. The oldest of them by Dat Records founder Draeke. Here's what he has to say: "Wicked duo this one, mostly unknown to the mass of goa trancers, except to some weird collectors like me maybe.." Their third release has, zero (0) reviews. I arrest my case. 😅

We got a few unmixed tracks that were previously unavailable at Spotify, such as Rollercoaster and Snickesnack.

Most of the Classic Goa Trax releases deserve to remain unreleased or be forgotten, but there are some great exceptions like Amtinaoüs - Single Collection. Although I consider myself a collector of most things goa trance, I must say Amtinaoüs music has never really captured my attention, but this collection of their single tracks put their music in a new light. Definitely overlooked. Also available at Bandcamp https://classicgoatrax.bandcamp.com/album/single-collection-remastered

Why would you assume she can't dj?

This album needs your attention, if you're looking for something along the lines of Nystagmus and (old school) Talpa: https://classicgoatrax.bandcamp.com/album/saska-l-ti-1983-2016 Listen to New Shit & Smoke and Mirrors. Also available @ Spotify.

Listening to the interview right now. I'm really impressed they have reconstructed the original tracks because the original files are lost.

Old school remixes by Infected Mushroom, and neither love nor hate in the comments. This site is truely dead.

What a great surprise! Infected Mushroom has remixed and updated some of their older tracks, and what a treat it is. This is really great. Let's hope more of their older tracks get the same treatment.

Please stop spaming us. I will look at none of your posts.

Looking forward to this!

I find it very hard to believe that anyone would transition from mainstream music to Goa trance to make money. I can't think of one example. Astral Projection are certainly appreciated in the psytrance community, but I wouldn't say they are widely popular nor appreciated by mainstream markets. They have 77 970 monthly streams @ Spotify, that's far from widely popular. Dance Is The Answer is their latest "hit", and it hasn't even got one million streams.

I found this great Tripiatrik live set at Youtube: It's actually a mix of mostly Paps and Yumade tracks, and one Tripiatrik track, nonetheless, great stuff. I was a bit surprised by a comment: Pierre Busson, aka Yumade, is currently making disco flavored electronic music as Yuksek. And he's doing really good judging by the number of streams: What other psytrance artists have managed to transition to other genres and become successful? The only other example I can think of is Infected Mushroom.

I didn't think there was anything old school out there to be discovered, but there was. I recently stumbled over The Spirit Dance album by Imago, and I quite like it. Not all tracks are winners, but The Black God, Azure Heaven, Angels of Peace, Wild E and Galactic Answer are certainly worthy of your attention. The album is available on Spotify. Turns out they are Swedish, which makes me even more surprised, how did they not get more attention? Can't recall I've ever heard about them. Maybe the album was considered to be too much "goa"? Back in 1997, when the album was released, most labels and listeners (me included) were more interested in the more psychedelic and less melodic sounds from TIP and Flying Rhino. Looking back, it's certainly an underrated album. Imago were three guys: Jesper Ahlström, Per Stålbrand and Johan Löfstedt. I dug up some of their other projects of interest. Jesper and Per released a four track EP on Why Not Records in 1996, as Choreus. Why Not was the label responsible for the Destination Goa series. I've found two of the tracks on YouTube: I believe the track Creative alternative by Exotic is well known by most old school lovers. It's made by Jesper and Leo Bergman aka Spindrift: Jesper and Per collaborated with Swedish house and techno pioneer Jesper Dahlbäck as Axxess Granted and released a track called The Guide, released on the Nordic Rave compilation. Any way, I think these guys deserve more attention.
