    Rate the above track - Fun game

    Congovox - Blue Nervosity

     

    The track really does encapsulate that '98 "Hux-Flux" sound, almost the exact same kick and bassline, but with none of the complexity of Hux-Flux. It's not bad at all, in fact it's good, it's just not great. Would have been a 6 until the acid comes in but the 303 takes it up to a 6.5, because it doesn't really go anywhere.

    Do you give your music the attention it deserves?

    I go through phases of listening to what I already have thoroughly, but I have to admit the majority of the time it's download > listen briefly to see if I like it > file it to a playlist to be listened to in a few months. There's so much music out there and I want to be aware of so much of it that it's an impossible task to digest it all properly.

    Are you just asking for the best Goa trance tracks? By genuine Goa I thought you would have meant some early, very "trance-dance" stuff, but the Oakenfold mix is certainly not that, it is excellent but only on the border of what actually constitutes Goa trance in my mind. It is mostly Classic Trance.

    Neogoa. Why?

    Suppose it depends on if you think they sound different, personally, I think the fact that everyone knows which artists we are talking about when we say "Neogoa" means they do sound different. Different sound, genre evolution, different name.

    I use the term because I feel like the music is utterly different and doesn't satisfy what I want when I listen to Oldschool. It seems obvious to me that the new wave of Goa has diverged enough to warrant a different name, and the name has clearly come naturally and is used fairly unanimously, no matter what those of you who say you don't use it think! It's folly to try and force a change in perceptions on this topic.

    What are you doing right now?

    I had a student today at English school who studies sound engineering and music at a nearby vocational college in Tokyo.

    His teachers: Sine6 & Tsuyoshi Suzuki.

     

    I've got to say I was a little jealous

    Jesus, does he know how lucky he is!?

     

     

    I'm listening to Goa of course, but staring at my flat in horror at the state it has gotten into and considering doing "the big clean".
