hi, long time lurker, 1st post
1996 - i was into the modscene, and downloaded a music disk called "Lucid 2" from ultrabeat, and there was a goa track in there "Welcome to the Gods" by Sybaris, and i thought it was great! in the comments, he mentioned "hail the Hallucinogen!". so i was like, i must know what Hallucinogen is!
goa/psy was *so* hard to track down in the U.S. then (still is), i searched everywhere for anything goa... i finally got a CD called "Concept in Dance" with a ton of MWNN tracks... juno reactor "Transmissions", and a few paul oakenfold CD's "Perfection" (for MWNN Paint a Picture) and "Journeys by DJ" - which had Hallucinogen - LSD. finally!
once i heard LSD, my goa craze started - that track took me to far away distant lands! amazing
goa was difficult to find in mainstream US music stores, and i was a poor university student then, so i downloaded so much goa from napster... but since graduating and working full-time, i have bought CD/vinyl for almost everything i had on mp3, any "old-school" goa i can find
i think i am one of the few people in my area that listen to goa, lol... i love closing my eyes, listening to the music, and feel like i am dreaming, yet jumping and stomping around....!
