Wasn't Mars needs women by Doof and Miranda remixed it? Love the Doof version, but honestly cannot remember the Miranda remix. Doof, Manwithnoname & Electric Universe were definitely talked about a lot in the early days, like in the 90s, but apart from Doof, I don't think they all aged that well. Electric Universe have a lot more albums than I remember so I guess a lot of them were pretty forgettable. We all have different opinions, what you call "the best" are actually just your favourites, they're not going to be everyone's favourites and people are going to talk about what they like more. It's definitely a good way to expand your musical horizons. I love these sort of posts as now I want to check out these artists again and see for myself. I listened to Doof over the weekend, but the other two....it's been years.

I no longer have a stereo as I listen to everything on headphones. I have a Sony ZX707 player, with the balanced output it is big enough to get the best out of decent headphones without the need for an amp. On the go I usually use the Final Audio A6000 items and at home I recently got a pair of Sennheiser HD 560s open back headphones. I had never owned a pair of open backs before but I really like them for the spaciousness they have on the soundstage.

While there are many tracks that I prefer, when Mahadeva comes on, it's instantly recognisable and was played everywhere back in the day, so yes, I think it is definitely an Anthem

I only every listen to albums or compilations. I do not like playlists, for basically the same reason you state for not listening to albums 😂 I find there is too much filler, while with a proper album, I find the whole journey more cohesive, and while some tracks might not be as good as the others, I feel they still add to the journey. I don't want 80 minutes where everything is the same level, I want some peaks, and some plateaus. I will listen to properly made mixes when the DJ can fully understand the need for movement in the mix and not just keeping everything at the same level. There are some excellent concept albums and compilations: Pleiadians first 2 are amazing journeys and the Crystal Skulls compilations too understand this need for a cohesive journey. At least that is what I like.

Still this for me, iconic in my own journey

Filteria - Days of Our Lives Followed by Dimension 5 Trans-Addendum and Trans-Stellar Not sure why I have both of these in my NEO GOA folder. I really needs to sort that out

Hmmm, why not use your old account then?

Honestly, if you mention "Mars needs women" I will always think about Doof. I know that Miranda released a track with the same name 3 years later, but is really as iconic as the Doof track? I can't even picture the Miranda track in my mind.

I wonder if this poster is really Radoslav, Radi6404 with a new account or someone trying to troll something from a decade ago. I can't really believe that it's the real Radi because how would our Radoslav ever say anything negative about Astral Projection. If I recall correctly, Astral PRojection were always the badgers badgers and Radi made post after post praising them and slagging off lesser modern goa. I think there is no way that he's be back slagging them off over Miranda: No Way!!!

I used to write reviews, I wish I still could, even if you think everything is coming from you, still do it, I love to read the reviews. In a time where there is so much music, it's always good to hear other people's opinions on it.

One of the all time best All together a great list, but gotta love this one 💕

Coming back after so long and this forum is running on fumes. I remember how many posts a day this used to get, it was impossible to keep up with, now I am the first one posting here in nearly 10 months 😲 It is sad to see that the forum has gone this way, but I am part of the problem, life just got in the way and I was not able to be sat in front of a computer every day (or I was but not the fun computer) Hope everyone is OK and listening to the classix still. I never lost my love of the Goa and the Psy. Still regularly listening to everything from 20 or shit, 30 years ago now... I am feeling old but the music keeps me young.

I came back just to say Happy Birthday to you. Sending you all my virtual money right now 🤑

Just relistening to this. 2007 was indeed a very good year.

Since getting married I haven't had much chance to listen to Goa on CD or through speakers in the house. I had to change to mobile listening and I don't think I did it very well for a while, then smartphones became a thing I ended up streaming music. It became mostly background. I recently bought a dedicated DAP, full sized headphones and a high quality cable to connect the two (this thing is a lot thicker than I was expecting, I don't think it's meant for headphones 😆) and I'm rediscovering all my old favourites.

Just looking through some threads on here on my way home. Had to brush off some cobwebs. Shame this place has become so quiet, although I can't really speak as I've been absent a long time, I remember it being hard to keep up with all the chat back then 😂

Genetic - Trancemission When the melody comes in, it's the moment that got me in to Psytrance.

Flying Rhino Freestyle - Wabi This is almost completely beatless and psychedelic. Very very nice. A personal favourite.

I don't think I've resonated with a post recently as much as this one. I've been trapped in this culture of quick fixes and listened properly to music less and less. I've been trying more and more to make the effort to stop everything and just listen to music like I used to do but I'm doing this by connecting with my past loves, so I've no idea about recent albums that can draw you in on a journey. I'd love to know them though.

From the title, for some reason I thought this thread was going to be about people covering classic goa tunes.

The First Flight cover always gave me special feels. But I was also always partial to the Dragonfly Covers

Today I realised that Jikkenteki has three albums I didn't know about 😲😳😲 early stuff that wasn't released before. On bandcamp he has it all available with his three studio albums and a collection of compilation tracks. I bought it all again, even the ones I have already for easy streaming. https://jikkenteki.bandcamp.com/

The infinity project - the answer

This is my first time back in a while. I used to be very very active here, but real life came and thwacked me on the behind. I made several reappearences and vowed to stay active and never did. The temptation to spend all my money on new expensive releases was/is always too strong and with a family to support it was hard to see all the amazing new music and parties in can't have or go to. I've spent a lot of the last few years streaming music I'm not really into, but recently bought a new dedicated music player (not my phone) and better gear to better reconnect with my roots and listen to more psy and psychill uninterrupted. I have a huge back catalogue of almost everything from the early years through to about ten years ago. I might not be able to buy new stuff but I'm really enjoying my renaissance of classic goa.

Recently I have been listening to mostly other genres. New music addiction is a bitch and I always want something new to listen to, even though when I revist my old favourites (mostly Psy, Goa, Psychill) I much prefer them. They have a deep psychedelic edge that I miss from a lot of other genres. Ambient often has it but I can't always find other music that gives the same atmospheres. Does anyone know of artists or labels that mix psy with other genres like Hip Hop, Dubstep, Rock etc. I'm curious to know if I'd like it or not
