    The front cover also says "Benefit Tibet", and on the back of the front cover the story says:
    "In 1950 China invaded Tibet. The Tibetans have calculated that 1,2 million have died as a result of the Chinese take-over. In 1959 the Dalai Lama was forced to flee his home and now travels the world gathering support for his people. The Tibetans believe in a non-violent struggle for freedom. The deserve all the help they can get. 50% of the profit of this CD will go to the Tibetan people, who lost everything, even basic things like homes, clothes, food and medication. You will help to prevent one of the oldest cultures of the world from disappearing."

    A similar but a bit longer text can be found on Banco de Gaia's album Last Train To Lhasa (both the original, and the 20th anniversary edition), so in a way that album could belong here too.

    Oh that explains it then :P something went south it seems after that one. lol 

    The bank checks to the involved artists probably didn't clear.


    Also the first few other compilations on T.R.N.C. were actual VA compilations, looks like in 1998 they turned into Ingmar Veeck solo "compilations"

    Wow that is so confusing. This compilation for instance:

    https://www.discogs.com/Various-Goa-Trance-Vol-1/release/1060373

    Are all tracks made by him on this one for example? Or did he manage to get some established artists on there as the discogs entry would suggest?

    Either way, seems so bizarre, to actually have the resources and dedication to compile something which on a surface level atleast looks like professional records. With pretty nice artwork, albeit of course seemingly "inspired" by the Goa Head and Tantrance series.

    I mean why not just do it the right way? xD Was it what trolls with too much money to spend did back then? Probably some mental issues due to drug abuse? :D Amusing stuff. He probably went mental after beeing rejected by the major labels at the time? Hence the doppelganger aliases of the househould names at the time.

     

    As the description on Discogs reads: "Goa trance series on T.R.N.C. Except for Vol. 1 and some exceptions on Vol. 3 all music is done by Ingmar Veeck."
    So the first one was an actual VA compilation, I have no idea what happened after that :D

    Yes quite a lot, but none as obviously stupid/funny as this one. Usually ripoffs just go for the project name, not the artists real names lol. 

    Was this guy active long ago or still at it? It's the first time I came across all of this nonsense. :) Did he release actual music he made himself or just bootlegs or something? How did it sound?

    Or was it just some elaborate scam? :D 

    Looks like the last release on T.R.N.C. was in 2002, with a compilation of re-recycled tracks in 2011. Basically he was recycling the same batch of his tracks in different configurations from one compilation to the other. And as far as I've understood, he actually did write all the music himself. As for the music, I remember hearing some of his tracks years ago but unsurprisingly none of them left any kind of an impression, to put it *ahem* "diplomatically" XD
    As for being a scam or whatever, perhaps his Goa Trance series speaks volumes for itself...

  5. Here's some floating downtempo from last friday, recorded on location at Kaivohuone, Helsinki.
    It was a bit strange to see the club emptier than I've ever seen it before, but was also nice to see some people I haven't seen in ages, with parties being quite few and far between in these strange times :)

    Tracklist:
    ArmagedDance - Sky Ocean
    Germind - Bending Of Light
    Altitudes - Altitude II
    PhasePhour - Unpronounced Numbers
    Scion - Sky Ocean
    Androcell - Frog Pond
    Asura - Regenesis
    Scann-Tec - Phaeton Remains
    Solar Fields - We Are The Dream
    Sundial Aeon - Sleepy Tranquility
    Eat Static - The Gates...

     

  6. I've played Astral Projection and Derango in the same DJ set, one after the other :D
    Properly melodic fullon (meaning: as little cheese as possible) and modern goa trance go well hand in hand (yes, I've tried that)
    Forest from the more melodic end and goa trance from the darker end of the spectrum also go well hand in hand (yes, I've also tried that)

  7. Nice and easy on the eyes :)

    And now clicking "Mark site read" actually pops up a dialog box with "Are you sure you want to mark all content in the community as read?" instead of a slightly sinister plain white box with just an OK button XD

  8. It's certainly been a weird year, with my first outdoor gig of the year in the middle of August...
    This is my set from our traditional once a year hideaway goa trance beach party in Helsinki, Finland. It's been a few years since my last morning Aikahattu set, and certainly the first time in years I've played a purely newschool goa set :)

    InnerSpace - Mental Stream
    Liquid Flow - Chaotic
    Ephedra - Deep Inside Feelings
    Denshi-Danshi - Brain Chemistry
    Denshi-Danshi - Parallel Universe
    Celestial Intelligence - Crystal Gazer
    Ephedra - Neuro Stretch
    Hypnoxock - Doubling Time
    Stellar Force - Astral Dive
    PharaOm - Rainbow Project
    Hypnoxock - Gravitational Isolation
    Celestial Intelligence - Distorted Visions
    Ra & Menkalian - 12th Hour
