A classic piece of Goa trance!

Intelligent and truly innovative psychedelic music from Australia.

There are some great old tunes here... the Second Moon!

I was never into this quite as much as I was into some of the other psybreaks out there... Osho Drums became a favourite over time however.

It is a singles collection, so the sound is rather inconsistent... still, it's very worth it for the gem Red Hair Hospital... what a corker!

Alien Pets is a cool song... Welcome to the World is a fantastic concept track... some of the rest is really not all that good. A bold experimental effort nonetheless.

I think it's a bit of a cash grab released at the peak of their popularity... the vinyl version only contained six tracks. Ultimately rather disposable, although it is certainly listenable for epic/melodic fans.

The best GMS album no doubt... quite a change for the time!

Perhaps it is worth checking out, but I found it easily forgettable through the years. If you like old school and you're looking for more, this is a fairly good album to check.

One of my all-time favourites! It's a beautiful trip through trance.

It's the first album I ever bought on vinyl, full of metallic, screeching, piercing sounds... I don't think it aged very well, but there are a few stand-out tracks: Do Androids Dream, Jaws (not on the 2LP tho), Red Light...

I never found it to be any good... kind of cheesy, in fact.

There's a lot of finely crafted fromage on this one.

I enjoyed it when it came out... but soon sold it. The cover was awesome, but the music seemed a bit rough and undeveloped.

At first I was really not into this at all... it was one of the early pieces which reflected the minimal mentality. With hindsight we can say that's really not the case at all... Troll became a really big anthem on dancefloors everywhere, and gradually it converted me. A quality vinyl, hard to find!

At first, I really wasn't into this at all... but it really grew on me. One of the first great minimal/dark psychedelic hybrids.
