I think he did a good job with the first one. I don't think it could have been more "scientific." I think that it challenged the collective unconscious. It made people think. Plus, we are talking about mythological constructs. But, I do agree that an essay should be structured with a hypothesis and then supporting evidence. So, if you have been lacking that, this Zeitgeist overflows with supporting evidence and empirical data and expert testimony. It is really good, and really fucking scary. WE ARE FUCKED!

If the title gives any clue to its content, it sounds really lame. Who the hell wants to read about a bunch of hippies in Goa, India? Shit, I would rather watch the Grateful Dead Movie. That is real psychedelic history. Shouldn't this be titled, "Goa -20 Years of Goa Trance?"

I am sorry that is an insult to Lady Gaga. I just can't believe that this is being monetized. Forget about the god awful mixing. The tracks aren't even that great. But I guess that is Gil's Orgasm: http-~~-//snd.sc/eI4YYP I've got to upload this on you tube cuz it's wasting my free space on soundcloud.

I am sorry...you are right...I wasn't very clear. I totally believe the Earth could take us out in a nanosecond. But, I meant that we would destroy our ability to use the earth to survive. That the Earth would become unlivable. That's what I meant by destroying the earth. I believe the answer is BALANCE. If you look at the human body, it automatically controls the functions for homeostasis. The Earth is a master at homeostasis. Do you know why we have weather? Because of unequal heating of the Earth. The earth produces weather to make the heating equal. However, we are way out of balance with the Earth and I know that the earth will be fine...but we will continue to suffer. I know we are here to advance the quality of life for all humans and that all humans have equal access to do the best they can to increase their quality of life. So life is invaluable. But, society has put a value on life and in the western world that value is related to money. The more money you have, the more you are worth. That is even the language the economists use. But money has no real value. So we are fucked. Thanks for reading.

I concur with the essence of your message. Except about evolution. Evolution is a natural process. And, we humans deny nature like we are not part of it. By doing this we fuck with nature. We manipulate evolution, we allow hype and advertising to manipulate our emotions. With most humans being ruled by their emotions, they don't make rational decisions. I.E. Look at what we have done to Earth. Look at our rampant consumerism and waste. Look at the fact that Goa Gil is a false prophet. He claims to be a DJ/Shaman. WTF? That means that he uses psychoactive chemicals and music to induce a trance that is life altering. THAT WOULD BE THE WORST TRIP EVER. My point is this: We need to stop lying to ourselves...we need to demand quality, we need to listen to our instincts and nature. Don't listen to some one else. If you are questioning me. You are wasting your time. Questions can only be answered by yourself. Other people can help or hinder your access to the answer. I know this is corny but, remember "The Matrix?" The Spoon Boy? "Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth. Neo: What truth? Spoon boy: There is no spoon. Neo: There is no spoon? Spoon boy: Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself." We control our reality. So who picked this one?

Goa Gil trainwrecking: http://soundcloud.com/max-hd/goa-gil-train-wrecking-at Sorry this is a dead link. I couldn't waste precious cyber-space with that demon-ic-stration of DJing... I am sorry that I am not sorry.

"I sometimes laugh at people telling me that I do great goa trance... I have never been to Goa so how can I make goa trance - why not Copenhagen trance then....???? Goa is to me a place in India - not a music style... For me it was a natural evolution from the early electronic music I made and it could just as well have been acid jazz, trip hop or house. It all depended on the time and place and my love to music.... I had been living in the UK for a while when I discovered the early techno/azid boom and I loved the parties in barns across the country..... When I returned to Denmark I meet a old girlfriend of mine and she took me to a "trance party" in Christiania in Copenhagen... This was 1993 and the music here was extrememly psychedelic and deep and I just feel in love with the sound immedialtely... After a year of intense dancing I went to the studio and recorded my first release with R&S Records (Belgium) and released the project "Tundra". I was offered a better deal with Nova Zembla Records and signed the deal with them in 1994 and changed the name to "Elysium" the rest is history...." Quote from Elysium Interview on this Website. Elysium: I guess I should have read this interview first. I love how you dismiss Goa. Thank you for setting it straight. KoxBox just said the same thing in their interview. I think that I keep beating this topic like a dead horse because I want people -- especially newcomers -- to understand that Goa is not affiliated with the Psytrance movement from a DJ or Artist perspective. The affiliation lies with so called "shamanic" and hippie parties, IMO.

I got a tweet that Goa Gil and Lady Gaga are the same person, named: Gaga Gal Gay Idol.

"I wanted to tell you what is a good party, also. When there’s no problem, and everything’s set up right, and the music just flows, then it can come to the point where you go into the trance, and everybody’s going in a trance. And it builds and builds. When it’s just perfect, and it’s a perfect song for the moment, perfection opens up in that moment, and it keeps sustaining itself. Then it becomes so perfect in the moment, with the trance, Magic starts to happen. Everybody all at once will start to get tingling up their spinal column, and outside of their skin, like you hair’s standing on end. Every- body will be getting it all at once. It will be so perfect in the moment that that feeling just sustains. It’s kind of like a cosmic orgasm." -- Goa Gil (Radio Interview). So when he is trainwrecking, is that when the cosmic orgasm happens? We need Simon Cowell to tell him how Millions of tons of metal bashing into each other is not perfection.

I got a little nostalgic and forgot that was 11 years ago. Well, I always liked KoxBox, I mixed one of their tracks on my mixtape. But, they never blew me away like Posford. Until, "The Great Unknown." That was just such an magnificent ray of hope. It is such a complete album. Breaks, Groove, Jazz, House, Trance, Techno, Psytrance, Ambient, and of course the mind-blowing, shredding, and just fucking sick, "Doppelganger." The audio manipulation and quality of samples was so crisp and thick..."There is a major problem in Australia...The Japanese People...Om...." Was it a fluke? It has all the elements I want to hear when I go to a party. Perfect. Oh, hey Elysium...I found an interview from Gil...I will post it on the other forum. He is such a hypocrite. Or, he really has delusions of grandeur. Also, I remember the distribution point in S.F. for 95% of the psytrance. It was Ceiba Records. I remember, the guy had no idea about raves, he had money, and I know one the DJ's that was a major influence on making sure that the parties were Goa style. Adam...something. And, I realize that it was because of the need to recreate Goa, they destroyed "the trance, hypnotic effect." So check the other forum... BTW, Did you get my message regarding your 199?-2011 mix? Superb...IDK why the concept of mixing is so absent from Psytrance...I always see people commenting on how other genres, the DJ's trainwreck. You know they try to compare it to psytrance. The logic so flawed. Visine...I need some Clear Eyes. WTF? Clubby Progressive? Please link me to the clubby progressive site. I had no idea that KoxBox sold out. I am always looking for enlightenment. I don't think we listened to the same album. Clubby Progressive? Like Sarah McLachlan - Possession (rabbit in the moon mix)? That is what I think is clubby progressive.

Exactly! Thank you for confirming what I wrote.

Hmm...Let me think...IT IS ONE OF THE BEST EDM ALBUMBS I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED!!! When I first heard it, I was convinced that KoxBox had done it -- they had put Psytrance in the main room, with the 2:00am slot. "The Great Unknown" is perfectly titled. This album was genius, an opus of electronica. It is groovy, hard, smooth, full-on, soulful, and beyond. This album made psytrance, danceable. The Great Unknown is the definition of break-through. Of course, I only have 19 years of intimately active participation to base my opinion. I compare this album to the string theory in theoretical physics. It links it all together. KOXBOX IS THE SHIT!

Your absolutely right. I did contradict myself. Good catch. I needed to be more specific. This whole site is geared toward psytrance, correct? And, we are discussing DJing. So, I am referring to the type of DJ that plays this music. That DJ would be the club DJ. You wouldn't go to a party and have a radio dj perform this music, right. Maybe, if it were a Roller Rink. But, that would be more like a mobile DJ. All the semantics aside, any DJ performing, would never train wreck, intentionally. And, as Elysium, so poignantly remarked, it would ruin the trance. So, I am not sure if you are defending the trance wreckers, or just trying to correct me?

I would have loved to experience psytrance outside of the U.S. But, I must admit San Francisco did much better with live shows than dj set (at least with psytrance). I remember a small club that was at the south end of Mission. I can't really remember attending...but I know they got GMS, Hallucinogen, Infected Mushroom, and others to perform. Those hippies were able tto pull some hot acts. I remember one sub-party that my buddy and Ivo did at 1015 Folsom. We called it Psyko Disko -- after the two artists -- we thought it was a beautifully fitting name for a psytrance club set. Apparently the hippie's pulled this Copyright B.S... on us and remember, I "faxed them in Australia" asking permission to use their name for our party. We were so nervous...but Steve Psyko and Fred Disko were so cool. They were just as excited as we were. They gave us full permission and thanked us. I don't think I will ever forget the look on those hippie faces. Priceless. It was like their attempt at hiding the truth had been exposed. These artists weren't some all-powerful demi-gods, they were just like us. It was those neo "hindi-hippies" that made it seem as if they could only communicate. Thanks, again Steve and Fred... I will post the flyer from that party, when I can. That was 1996 or early 1997.

Who is Abasio?

Beatmatching is a disc jockey technique of pitch shifting or timestretching a track to match its tempo to that of the currently playing track e.g. the kicks and snares in two house records hit at the same time when both records are played simultaneously. Beatmatching is a component of mixing which employs beatmatching combined with equalization, attention to phrasing and track selection in an attempt to make a single mix that flows together and has a good structure. The technique was developed to keep the people from leaving the dancefloor at the end of the song. These days it is considered basic among DJs in electronic dance music genres, and it is standard practice in clubs to keep the constant beat through the night, even if DJs change in the middle. Beatmatching is no longer considered a novelty, and new digital mixers have made the technique much easier to master. http://en.wikipedia....ki/Beatmatching I don't mean to sound like a dick. But, I know myself. I know that I am a kind, generous, and loving human. I, also know that I am an asshole. I know that trying to change who I am is unnatural. Life is about energy and balance. You can't know how wonderful something is until you know how terrible something is...yin and yang. First, I would like to commend you on researching your reply before posting. Unfortunately, you did not research enough. So, not only do you not know much about DJ'ing. You look like a fool for submitting a condesending and innacurate comment. There are many different kinds of DJ's. There is the Radio DJ, Mobile DJ, Club DJ, Hip-Hop DJ, and the Reggae DJ. We are obviously discussing the club dj. A radio DJ does not beatmatch, they play songs consectutively. So, are you comparing a radio dj to a club dj? (Actually, I would prefer if Goa Gil was replaced by a jukebox). And you also, stated the DJ "often" played one record after another. "Often?" So, what did they do when they did not play a record after another? Remember, this site is geared toward profesionals and enthusiasts. If I were to guess, I would think you were an enthusiast. In that case, if I were you, I would not reply. Unless, you had something enthusiastic to say. Elysium and I are professionals...so you may want to take what we say more seriously. We have first hand knowledge and experience with this topic. EVERYONE...I WILL CUT & Paste part of my original post: "... HAS CAUSED PSYTRANCE TO BE LIKE JURASSIC PARK. I never said that psytrance was dead. I said that we were all responsible for letting Goa Gil and his minions control the way that psytrance was performed. I said that the evolutionary path of psytrance in the latter half of the nineties became extinct, and that a different form of psytrance had mutated from it. So, it is not dead. I is just not the same. And, I agree with Elysium that in order to experience trance music, you can't be pulled out of your trance, violently every 5-8 minutes. It is the art of mixing the right records together, on time, and even harmonosiouly. That means not only does the Dj want to beat match the mix he or she wants the two songs to be in the same key. I practised for hours putting a good mixset together. I would also like to add to Elysium's comments. Psytrance is very challenging to mix. Most record composers would use a different key. I love mixing halucinogen songs, most of his sonsgs were in the same key, had similar percussion, and a trademark gate effect that he would use to make any track have that stutter effect. But it was rythmically brilliant. Pleadeans, Etnica, and Total Eclipse were very similar, I think that they may have been the same artists. I am not sure. These songs were masterul. So, some songs you could mix together like house music and some you had to mix on the ambient parts, but it still had to be on time. You are right about one thing, I don't know that much about the history of DJing. But, one thing I did read, NO TRAINWRECKING! "...Beatmatching (adjusting the speed that two tunes play at so that their bass drumbeats constantly play at the same time) is the mechanical aspect that's regarded as the core foundation of the club DJ. Given enough time, patience and practice, anyone can learn these basics." --DJing for Dummies.

Amen, Brother. I agree with you that it is possible to beat mix DATs... But that takes great skill, especially if you are doing Psytrance... and as, you said, you have to make sure that the tracks have the same bpm. and then you have to figure out how to drop in and get the beats in sync... And, yes with psytrance, the beginning and end are usually very long and airy (no percussion). And, as you know that had to be in sync, as well. But, that beautiful ambiance was killed by those hippies, I don't know about you, But the arrogance that these hippies displayed was as ugly as the mixing. They acted aloof and intelligent, yet they never noticed that each individual track of a psytrance song was in sync. And that the song wasn't trainwrecking, so why would the dj. Absolutely, as far as today, shit, It is so much easier to mix with Virtual DJ than with actual vinyl.. NO EXCUSE. I am so glad you replied...I think you are the first DJ to comment. Maybe, most people don't understand what we are talking about.

"The introduction of techno; In 1999 a group of unknown artists played exclusively Detroit Techno and Chicago House at the venue known as 'Laughing Buddha' (formally known as Klinsons) in Baga, Goa. These artist were the first people to play Techno in Goa on a regular basis. The introduction of mixing on turntables using vinyl was a first for Goa at that time. Until that point 'DJs' mainly used 'MiniDiscs', 'D.A.T' and CDs, without 'beat matching' the mixes." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goa_trance According to this paragraph from wikipedia, I was accurate in my assessment. It also shows that the trainwrecking was so overwhelming, it took seven years for real DJ's to even play in Goa. As a fellow "vinyl beat-matching" DJ, I had already finished spinning psytrance in 1998. These guys must have been as disgusted as I. So much, that they went to Goa to mix vinyl. I really love how the author uses the words, "DJ and without beat-matching," in the same sentence. THAT IS NOT A DJ. THE FIRST THING A DJ LEARNS IS TO BEAT-MATCH. SO, THESE HIPPIES WERE LIKE DRAG QUEENS, EXCEPT, MANY THOUGHT THEY WERE ACTUALLY WOMAN. In the immortal words of Eric Cartman. "God Dammit! I HATE HIPPIES!!!"

I am not sure what you are saying...there is no structure to your reply. Can you make it clearer and use supporting evidence? Yes, that is my theory...what is so far out? Goa Gil started using dats in Goa because the records woul melt from the heat. There is no pitch control on a mini-dat player. I witnessed him crossfade two dats at different BPM's, resulting in an out of synch mix. Or, in DJ lingo, trainwrecking. All DJ's have trainwrecked (usually when practicing). The difference that an EDM DJ would know that he or she were off beat and correct it immediately. If they did not, it would not be on purpose. Goa Gil was a pioneer of the Psytrance movement. And, therefore, he is highly respected. The problem is that new DJ's that did not know, actually thought that it was OK to trainwreck. And, the audience became very specific. In other words, the mainstream did not attend. The limited number of people and the the saturation of trainwrecking caused a severe drop in record sales. And, ultimately, I believe led to the death of Psytrance. Again, I am writing from my first hand observations. It is possible that I was the only one that recognized the sacralige. Did you attend Psytrance parties in the late nineties? If you did, what do you think happened? As far as the woman thing...yes it is a theory. Atomic isotopes act the same way. A positive charged pushes in outward, concentricly. A negative charge pulls inward, concentically. For example the Hydrogen Isotope has one positive proton and one negative electron. So, outward pushing and inward pulling create a synapse, this synapse causes the hydrogen to disappear and reappear and is measurable with quantum physics. Even Steven Hawking used this negative positive relationship to prove the existance of black holes, using Einstein's Relativity. This is called, "Hawking Radiation." And, no I am not trying to get laid. This is the what I see and know to be true. And, the God, I refer is not the one from any religion. It is more like a God Force. It makes sense to me. Just look at Adriana Lima. That is not proof?

PSYTRANCE IS NOT DEAD BUT IT IS NOT ALIVE FROM NATURAL EVOLUTION. IT HAS BEEN CLONED AND BROUGHT BACK. AND THAT IS WONDERFUL JUST DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN. IT MUST BE TREATED AS ALL EDM. IT MUST ACCESSIBLE BY ALL. IT MUST NOT BE REGULATED BY SNOBBISH HIPPIES AND FOR GOD SAKE, PLEASE MIX IT LIKE A DJ. DON'T CRASH IT TOGETHER LIKE GOA GIL AND HIS FOLLOWERS. JUST BECAUSE THE CLIMATE IN GOA MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SPIN RECORDS, DOES NOT EXCUSE THE TRAINWRECKING IN SAN FRANCISCO. IF GOA GIL ACTUALLY KNEW HOW TO DJ, AND DID NOT HAVE A GOD COMPLEX, HE WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN SO ARROGANT, AS TO TRAINWRECK, LIKE IT WAS ACTUALLY ON TIME AND A COOL MIX. THE BEST THING ABOUT BEING ABLE TO CREATE A NEW EVOLUTION OF PSYTRANCE, IS THE ACCESSIBILITY OF IT'S ORIGINAL ARTISTS. YOUT TUBE MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO LISTEN TO THE EARLY MASTERS. THEN, WE CAN APPRECIAE HOW IT IS AWESOME. THEN, MAKE IT BETTER, BUT DON'T FORGET WHAT MAKES PSYTRANCE DIFFERENT THAN ANYOTHER GENRE. IF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT'S OKAY. JUST LISTEN AND YOU WILL HEAR IT. IT IS BEAUTIFUL. IT MUST BE TREATED AS SUCH. THIS IS HOW YOU CAN GET RID OF THESE COMPARISONS OF PRE AND POST 2000. JUST REMEMBER, IF YOU ARE NEW TO PSYTRANCE AND YOU THINK YOU CAN CREATED DOPE NEW TRACKS, GO FOR IT. I REMEMBER WE HAD EXTERNAL SYNTHS, RACK EFX PROCESSORS, AND THE COMPUTER WAS FOR SEQUENCING. NOW YOU CAN MAKE AN ENTIRE TRACK WITH COMPUTER. REMEMBER TO GET A GOULD MULTITRACK SOUND CARD. USE LOGIC, OR CUBASE, GET SOFWARE SYNTHS SAMPLERS, A MIDI CONTROLLER AND LET'S RE-EVOLVE PSYTRANCE. I DAS name='Rotwang' timestamp='1300807003' post='972765'] Psytrance is not dead. Please don't write in capitals. It gives the idea of shouting. -The mod team

PLEASE...THE TOPIC IS AN OPINION. THE REAL TOPIC SHOULD BE A QUESTION. WHY DOES PSYTRANCE HAVE A BEFORE AND AFTER? AND, WHAT HAPPENED THAT CAUSED Y2K TO BECOME THE YEAR OF THIS TRANSFORMATION. PLEASE READ MY FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE AND THE CONCLUSION THAT I BELIEVE CAUSED THE DEATH OF PSYTRANCE. IF PSYTRANCE WERE NOT ASSASINATED, IT WOULD HAVE EVOLVED THE LAST TEN YEARS, AND THE CLASSIC TRACKS WOULD BE VIEWED THE SAME AS CLASSIC HOUSE TRACKS. THEY WOULD BE VERY RECOGNIZED AND NOSTALGIC AND DJ'S WOULD SOMETIMES PULL ONE OUT TO REMIND THE OLDER OF THEIR BEAUTY AND WOW THE NEWCOMER. HOWEVER, EXTINCTION, NOT EVOLUTION HAS CAUSED PSYTRANCE TO BE LIKE JURASSIC PARK. THANK YOU FOR READING THE FOLLOWING ESSAY. PLEASE COMMENT. GOA GIL -- PSY-ASSASIN I am a former Psytrance DJ. I mixed at venues in San Francisco and L.A from 1995-98. At that time, I had to bail because I could see the death of psytrance coming and I did not want to be around. I have first-hand experience with the Psytrance scene. From my observations, I have concluded that Psytrance's short-life was caused by all of us. I contributed because I did not do enough to educate the EDM audience. I did not do enough to ensure it was properly merged with the Rave scene. I was too passive. I thought that Ravers would feel as I did and want psytrance to be honored and performed as the huge rave music at the time...as a complement to trance and break's and high energy house and coexist as it should. For example, a rave has three rooms: Main, ambient, DnB. But when psytrance came around it did not go into the main room. It did not go in at all and when it did, it was a separate room. EXCEPT WHEN I DJ'D IN L.A. IT WAS BEAUTIFULLY INTERLACED WITH THE MAIN ROOM. BUT THAT DIDN'T LAST. Back in S.F., The distribution of Psytrance was controlled by a small group of elitist hippies that did not and did not care to educate themselves on the Rave scene. They viewed themselves as better than everyone else because they put this spooky, cult-like value on getting prereleased DAT's and they were somehow the chosen ambassadors of Goa and psytrance. That they were the chosen ones. I am serious it was weird. They wanted to make psytrance a mystery and its truth a secret to anyone else. Remember, there were no U.S. psytrance artists. Not of any significane like House, Breaks, Trance and such was very much coming from S.F. Chicago, New York and Miami and internationally. So, it was easily accessible by anyone. San Francisco is a major port of entry for international music distribution. So, manipulating the flow of psytrance was not that difficult. Of course almost everyone was fascinated by psytance at firs. But, it's massive regulation and inaccessability made people lose interest and only a few, like me put considerable time and energy obtaining this music. F-8 was a tiny record store owned by Mars and Myster-e. They were the only ones that could get psytrance because it was coming from the same place that cyber-trance came and they were cyber-trance pioneers. They also, realized that selling psytrance and cyber-trance made more money than just cyber-trance. Now, DJ Dutch was also enamoured by Psytrance. So much he became a Psytrance DJ. Many other novice DJ's sprouted up. However, they were not seasoned and experienced with the rave scene and made it impossible for me, Ivo, and Dutch to overcome the influence of the Goa Gilians (I just made that up). So, these people really controlled how Psytrance would be displayed. They became the architects of the fall of psytrance. They displayed psytrance as Goa were San Francisco. It's like they wanted to create this replica of the Goa party. They had parties with the "hippie-hindi" design. You know, tapestries of Shiva and Shriyantras that were painted for black lights. They had incence. They wore hippie-meets-ghandi clothes. And, the worst part: They would use DATs, and sometimes vinyl. Not the other way, Or, as intended, and as I agreed DAT's should not be played by DJ's. If these Goa Gilians would just play DATs like a juke box, it would not have been so bad. And, you would understand that it would be better automated like a CD changer and you could party or whatever. However, if you wanted a Rave experience with Psytrance music and DJ's, you would be assaulted by these sonic-terrorists. Instead of playing DATs back-to-back, they would attempt to mix them like a DJ. Do you know that you can't contol the pitch of a portable DAT player? You can't. Do you think that all psytrance is the same BPM? It's not. What do you think happens when mixing two tracks togther that don't have the same BPM--not including the proper dropping in point and all that? We professionals call this, quite fittingly, A TRAINWRECK! I am not saying that DJ's don't trainwreck. But, it is unintentional and immediately corrected. The difference between a DJ and Goa Gil: A DJ understands that trainwrecking is not only bad, but something they practise hours to avoid. NO EXCUSES. SAN FRANCISCO IS NOT SWELTERING WHERE YOUR RECORDS WOULD MELT. SO YOU NEED TO USE DATS. BUT, DOES THAT MEAN THAT GOA AUDIENCES BELIEVE THAT TRAINWRECKING SOUNDS GOOD OR ACCEPTIBLE? IT MUST, BECAUSE GOA GIL TRAINWRECKED HERE LIKE HE WAS GOD PETTING A PUPPIE. AND HIS MINIONS BELIEVED IT. LOOK UP VANDALISM IN THE DICTIONARY. THAT IS WHAT I WITNESSED. A COMPLETE DEFAMATION OF MUSIC, HUMAN INTELLIGENCE, AND THE UTTER RETARDATION OF HUMAN ADVANCEMENT. I continued to do small gigs with Ivo and we followed the DJ code of mixing. That synchronicity elemental to mixing. And, we knew this to be as natural as the individual tracks of an EDM song were mixed in-sync. THAT IS WHAT KILLED PSYTRANCE. THAT IS MY FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE AND CONCLUSION. IF I HAVE ERRED IN MY ACCOUNT OR CONCLUSION, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I LISTEN TO ANYONE AND I CHANGE MY MIND WHEN I REALIZE MY ARGUMENT WAS FLAWED. I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO BE APPREHENSIVE TO DISCUSS THINGS WITH ME OR EXCHANGE IDEAS BY BEING INTOLERENT. I HAVE LEARNED MORE FROM DISCUSSING AND DEBATING, THAN FROM ANY BOOK. YOU ARE JUST AS GOOD AND NOT LESS THAN ANYONE. Psyncerely, Former Psytrance DJ, Max Factor.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nf5kdWEBP5k 1995 Cassette Mix. Equipment: Psytrance Vinyl, 2 SLK1200MK2, Peavy 3 channel mixer, Technics amp, Teac Cassette recorder, Bose Speakers, Me. When I mixed this, it was Psytrance...Goa Trance was the term for compilations of trance by various artists. Some tracks were found in the psytrance section, some were even found in the cyber-trance section. I am not comfortable with the "GOA" Label. To me, it has no relevance to PSYTRANCE.
