Carl says here that the track of Chi-ad. is great, and he's right it's my personal nr 1!!But you can find it on another compilation as this (bad) one!! The other compilations is "Dream Creation"!! It's a wonderful cd that's also on Our Psytrance-page... Enjoy it!! Bom Shankar

Electric Universe - Waves Artist: Electric Universe Title: Waves Label: Spirit Zone Date: 1998 Track listing: 01. 06'21" Jungle Spirit 02. 07'41" Spectral Blue 03. 07'46" Bubbles 04. 08'40" Spiral Galaxy 05. 08'40" Saijen 06. 05'44" Flashback 07. 08'41" Freakquencies 08. 05'50" The Island 09. 07'04" Funtation Review: Really bad CD, only two good songs on it!! Flashback and Jungle Spirit!! He uses way too much breakbeats and lots of songs sound like Techno, and I don't like Techno... It's too boring!! Luckely the artwork is beautiful, but the CD isn't good at all!! Bom Shankar

V/A - A Taste Of Trust In Trance Artist: Various Title: A Taste Of Trust In Trance Label: Nova Tekk Date: 1998 Track listing: 01. 08'26" Astral Projection : Mahadeva 02. 09'01" Power Source : Goaway 03. 07'30" MFG : Magnetic Activity 04. 09'03" California Sunshine : Alala 05. 07'05" Mystica : Expose 06. 08'44" Nada : Transparent Future 07. 05'19" Shidapu : Paradise 08. 07'12" Aban Don : State Of Mind 09. 09'26" SFX : Y-Salem Review: A typical selection of the best Israeli Psy-Trance, I guess most of the songs are known!! nr 1 is the well known track of Astral Projection (still one of the best tracks they ever made), nr 2 is the Power Source song with that touching melody in it and 3 we find one of the classics by MFG!! Nr 4 and 5 are the Least good songs on this CD!! 6&7 are very melodic but still pretty good dance-music!! And nr 8&9 show us some more Israeli melodic stuff!! (but NON of those melodic songs are cheesy!!) Bom Shankar

Altough the first 2 songs and song 5 are ok... But the rest of the 1st CD is not good... Nr4,8&9 are mediocre but the rest is bad!! I even didn't know that Electric Universe could make such a bad track!! The second CD is more chill/Ambient, and it's better as the first CD, I Guess that's enough!! Best songs on that CD are once again nr 1 And 2 but also nr5,6&7!! Bom ShankarÂ

V/A - 3D Vision Psychedelic Artist: Various Title: 3D Vision Psychedelic Label: 3D Vision Date: 1998 Track listing: CD 1 01. 09'54" Elixir : Spiral 3 Remix 02. 08'55" Tandu : Alien Pump (Rmx) 03. 08'59" Absolum : Wizzi Wizzy 04. 10'05" Bamboo Forest : Transfer 05. 08'43" Christof And DJ Maël : KLM (Rmx) 06. 09'28" Oforia : Timelessness 07. 08'24" Christof And Jean Borelli : No Name 08. 08'49" Talamasca : Talafrica CD 2 01. 09'25" Absolum : XS 02. 08'34" Lagoon : Subaquatic 03. 08'56" Lagoon : Skyliner 04. 07'52" Christof And Buzkraft : Coca 05. 09'45" Bamboo Forest : Back Of The World 06. 10'55" Absolum : Biologic 07. 07'51" Elixir : Furious 08. 10'10" Talamasca : Believe Review: A very nice compilation from the French label of Christoff Drouillet!! But... This CD could be a killer without all those mixes... The KLM remix is much less good as the original and the same happened withe Alien Pump! ((( Spiral 3 is a good (Rmx), but maybe that is because I don't know the original!! Anyway, CD one gives us some uplifting stuff of Bamboo forest and Absolum!! But the song of Oforia is also good with a great end... CD2 is also good, but there are 2 bad songs on it (the 2 songs of Lagoon) and also nr3 is disappointing!! But the rest of the CD is good!! )) especially 6,7&8. Bom Shankar

That song of Etnica is Mindblowing, awesome,...!! The best Etnica-track ever made!! Also 8 is véry véry good! Unfortunately the rest of it is not good... It's kinda boring and some songs are not uplifting enough... So if you already have one of those two killer-tracks, don't buy this CD!! Bom Shankar

V/A - Holy Mushroom Artist: Various Title: Holy Mushroom Label: High Society Date: 1997 Track listing: CD 1 01. 10'12" Planet BEN : Non Sense 02. 06'21" Morphem : Montage (Unreleased Mix) 03. 07'00" Microdome : Clear Halluzination 04. 09'31" Mama Indica : Radioactive Rain 05. 09'12" Four Carry Nuts : Nuts Without Sugar 06. 10'16" Ushaya : Ushaya 07. 07'30" Infrarot : Que Animal (Mammouth Rmx) 08. 06'10" Proton : Get Consious, Find Out, Search Deep 09. 06'00" Temple Of Ellora : Shanti Rum CD 2 01. 10'20" Four Carry Nuts : Weird Egg 02. 08'01" Etnica : Spheric Concept 03. 07'47" Evolution : 5th Dimensional Craft 04. 09'19" Metacosm : Angstman 05. 05'09" Paradise Connection : Adic 3 06. 09'11" MOS : Gates Of Karma 07. 09'51" Kind Of Intelligence : Eurith 08. 06'32" Astrological : Delos 09. 05'55" Hara Gobi : The Real Trance 10. 06'20" Kinder Der Erde : Spacidy Review: A mediocre mix between known and unknown names... The well known names give us good Goa-Trance (except the Middelstandskinder Ohne Strom) but some of the unknown names make me ill... (CD1 nr4,7,8 CD2 nr 4,5,7) Best song is nr1 on CD 1, and that'd from genius Planet-B.E.N.!! Other good songs are on CD1nr 2,3&6 and on CD2nr2,3&8!! Bom Shankar

Future Prophecy - Shadows Artist: Future Prophecy Title: Shadows Label: Big Foot Date: 1999 Track listing: 01. 08'20" Freak 02. 08'10" Nomad In Space 03. 08'29" Picture Of The Universe 04. 08'05" At The Rim Of Chasm Part 1 05. 08'03" Dungeons Of Wander 06. 08'04" At The Rim Of Chasm Part 2 07. 08'16" Reflection 08. 07'55" Final Vision Review: Cool CD, maybe a littlebit less good as his last CD, but still very good!!! They completely changed of style, they're making some hard, dark and stomping Goa now!! The basslines are the coolest you can imagine... and they put sounds like Tim Schuldt on it!!! I guess the first song is example nr1, it's the remix of the song of X-Dream, with guitars or something like that... And that remix is really good, great for on party's!! The other songs have all their own same Future Prophecy style: (maybe that's the bad point on this CD) but I like that style so it's one of my better CD's!! Best songs are 1,3,4,5,7,8!! But like I already said, they're all the same style so I like them all... Bom Shankar!!

Future Prophecy - Seeds Of Rage Artist: Future Prophecy Title: Seeds Of Rage Label: Big Foot Date: 1998 Track listing: 01. 05'59" Akasha 02. 08'38" Seeds Of Rage 03. 08'26" Brahman 04. 08'48" Jiva 05. 07'55" Maya 06. 09'13" Viveka 07. 08'05" Varuna 08. 08'31" Advaita 09. 06'44" Indra Review: Very good album!! This is the mix between night-music and morning-Trance, the bassline is (very) hard, but there are already sunny melodies... I just can't describe it very well, but this music will catch you and it won't leave you for a while... This one of the surprises I think, I'll by their other albums too after hearing this one!! ))) Best songs are 1,2,3,6&9! But the other songs are also good!! Bom Shankar

Quadra - Digital Stimulant Artist: Quadra Title: Digital Stimulant Label: BooM!

Records! Ido Liran made some great Goa-Trance here, and it's extremely psychedelic!! Even more psychedelic as the earlier Boom!-releases (except the Battle Buddha's...) It's complete different as the new progressive Goa like Son Kite and Intact Instinct!! This guy took his time for his album, so it's nice for listening!!! It's also good stuff for the dancefloor... Song 7 is even complete hell, 151 bpm with alot of Psychedelic sounds... The only songs I don't like on this CD are song nr 6 And 8 dunno why,song 6 it's kinda boring and I Know better Ambient as song 8! But... Best songs are 1,2,3,5&7!! And the other song (4) is still above average!!! Bom Shankar

I only have Blue Planet too but I've been told the other too albums were of poor quality!! This CD is also harder as his other CD's!! Best songs are 2,4,5,8 and the song that's awesome here is number 9... I really like that Trance-part!! Bom Shankar

V/A - A Taste Of Nephilim 1 Artist: Various Title: A Taste Of Nephilim 1 Label: Nephilim Date: 1999 Track listing: 01. 07'19" Drop And Dash : Turban Kaos 02. 07'06" Germinator : It Is 03. 08'25" O-Men : White Lies 04. 05'18" Texas Fagott : Henkien Talo 05. 10'38" Von Aum : Little Blue Babas 06. 09'17" XIS : Broken Spirals 07. 06'15" Kopfuss Resonator : Tommis Machine 08. 09'22" Little Blue Men : Blah Blah Machine Review: A rather poor release, non of those songs are really good, when you are listening to it it's rather boring and sometimes it's too chaotic... (nr 4,6) Best song of the CD is Nr 7, but that's still not véry good... Bom Shankar

V/A - Chakra Green Artist: Various Title: Chakra Green Label: Nova Tekk Date: 1999 Track listing: 01. 10'20" Children Of Paradise : El Nino 02. 10'25" Atmos : Drums Don't Stop 03. 06'54" Astral projection : Another World 04. 08'16" Bypass Unit : Nanosphere Courier 05. 07'10" Shakta : The Future Is Now 06. 12'35" Chi-ad : Pathfinder 07. 08'18" SUN Project : Zwork 08. 07'18" MOS : Lunar Church 09. 05'50" Quija : I Don't Understand Review: A rather nice compilation with some interesting songs... It starts with the best song ever made by Children Of Paradise but after that there's a rather boring song from Atmos. Astral projection's "Another World" is well known and véry good and Bypass Unit show us some more great and pretty hard Goa-Trance!! Nr 5 is also pretty good!! After that we have de worst song ever by Chi-ad. It really sucks... This CD finishes with a nice song from Quija, nr 7 And 8 are mediocre!! Bom Shankar

I simply LOVE this CD!! Some very interesting songs... The first CD has some great melodic songs (NOT cheesy...!!) that are great to dance during a sunset... Yes, even Mystica, who's solo-cd is pure shit, made a good track here!! Off course there are also two tracks of Erez here... The one he made with Duvdevani is not really Infected-style, it's rather a slow dream-song but the song of "I-zen" )) is Awesome... The same bass as in the song of Infected "The Gathering) and some great melodies!! So I simply like EVERY song of CD1 CD2 is harder and darker... Sandman shows us some more music as on his CD "Psychotoons" it's exactly the same style and after that follows the best song of CD 2... Future Prophecy gave us some great morning-trance with a fat beat... really wonderfull!! Cat On Mushroom's "The Fly" needs no introduction I guess!! Song nr 5 is not good at all, and it sure doesn't fit between song nr 4 And 6!! Infected Deedrah is a nice combination but somehow I don't like the song, altough it's very Psychedelic...! Song 6 is mediocre, song 7 really sucks... I don't know what that song is doing on this CD cuz that's no Goa or Psy-Trance, that's normal Techno ((( And the combination between Shiva Sidpao and Infected gave a song loved by everybody except me I guess, simply because of that Drum'n Bass part... I just don't like D'nB!! But overall this is a very nice compilation!!! Bom Shankar

Chemical Synthesis - Final Fantasy Artist: Chemical Synthesis Title: Final Fantasy Label: BNE Date: 1999 Track listing: 01. 07'11" Battle Zone 02. 07'05" Final Fantasy 03. 07'42" The Tripy And The Brain 04. 07'02" Pink Panther 05. 06'46" Travel Between Planets 06. 07'51" Virtual Sami 07. 06'28" New World 08. 05'53" Scream Dream 09. 07'44" The Last Review: A fine CD with Morning-Trance, not the cheesy Nitzohonot!! It has alot of rhytm and alot of smart melodies... This is dance-music for when the sun is coming above the horizon, it'll make you feel unreal!! Best tracks are nr 1,4,5,6,7 and nr9 because of the guitars!! Bom Shankar

V/A - Double Dipped Artist: Various Title: Double Dipped Label: BooM!

I really love this label... 6 songs have 147 bpm or more!! The CD starts with two "slower" songs (142 bpm) but they are both very melodic and specially the song of Mind Warped is good... (The seconc part of the song...), but when you had those the hell starts!! song 3 isn't very good but pretty pumping Goa, nr 4 is very good!! It's made by DJ Aorta, a very good Belgian DJ and a friend of me ))) nr 5,6&7 show us some very hard but good Goa from Croatia, Japan and USA!! But... Song 8 RULEZZZZ!!!! Paranoia... Unbelievable!! When you hear this you're completely in the universe... So title is right!! )) To finish this compilation there is a pretty fine morning-trance-song !! Altough the cover is awfull, this CD is a must!!! Bom Shankar

Mediocre CD, some good and some bad tracks, just as the guy above mentioned, there are 3 good tracks on it, but none of them is awesome!! I really don't get it, CHi-a.d. makes so fucking good music on compilations (Exit Eternity, Celestial, Eye Am The I => One of the best Goa-songs EVER...)!! But on his own albums he never has that kind of Goa-Trance and that's a pitty because I love it more than what there is on this CD!! Bom Shankar

Tripout - Psychotropic Creations Artist: Tripout Title: Psychotropic Creations Label: Starchild Date: 1998 Track listing: 01. 09'03" Hyperion : Sun Flower 02. 07'27" Brain Forest : Concept In Tribal 03. 07'35" Andorphia : Toasted Mushroom 04. 06'14" Shidapu : Vertigo (Rmx) 05. 06'17" Hyperion : Tribal Encore 06. 08'13" Shidapu : Prince Of The Dolls 07. 06'36" Shidapu : Dream Catcher 08. 06'51" Sofus : Presence (I Sense Something Rmx) 09. 10'51" Aurax : Control My Destiny Review: Fine CD to listen!! Some great Israeli stuff!! It's all Morning-Trance but that doesn't mean it's cheesy, cuz it's NOT!! Some songs are also very full on! (3,4,5,6) best songs are 1,4,(=> third best song of Shidapu ever) 5,6,7 and the softer song (nr 9)!!! Bom Shankar

V/A - Millenium Artist: Various Title: Millenium Label: CD-Line Date: 1997 Track listing: 01. 08'28" Xerox And Freeman : Fata Morgana 02. 08'40" Xerox : Sub Genius 03. 06'55" Luminus : Luminus Angel 04. 07'26" Cybel : Well Done 05. 09'35" Xerox And Freeman : Getafreak 06. 06'36" Kailum : Kailum Review: Damned, I bought this because at that time because I didn't found any other Goa-CD's (Luckely we now have a very big Goa-shop in Antwerp...) and this is Rip-off!!! Ok, the songs are pretty good, but this CD is 46 minutes long!! And that's simply not worth the money because most of the tracks were already released... best songs 1,5&6 Bom Shankar

Cosmoon - Flammable Artist: Cosmoon Title: Flammable Label: BooM! Date: 1998 Track listing: 01. 06'57" Sticky World 02. 08'08" Drifting 03. 06'49" I Am God? 04. 07'27" Blending Together 05. 07'53" Rew Fwd 06. 08'55" Protein Code 07. 08'14" Leaving Laughing Gas 08. 08'36" Stratocaster Iz 09. 08'02" Gravitational Fluctuation Review: A Good CD from Cosmoon, there are some storming dance-floor killers on it (3,7,8), but also some songs that are less good, they're not really bad, but also not very good (1,4,5,6) The other songs who I don't mentioned are really GOOD!!! The problem with Cosmoon is that he's always using breakbeats and steady beats at the same time, and sometimes that works, but sometimes it destroys a song, because I think breakbeats are less good like steady beats to dance!! But when the breakbeats and steady beats fit together and Ramon Sterman put some great Goa-sounds on it you get Awesome songs... I can still recommand this CD because Cosmoon has is own style that always works on the dance-floor!! Bom Shankar

Oforia - Delirious Artist: Oforia Title: Delirious Label: Dragonfly Date: 1998 Track listing: 01. 07'40" Maximiser 02. 07'48" Cream 03. 07'54" Compulsive Dance 04. 07'08" Psycho Sonic 05. 08'45" Uplifter 06. 08'20" Outer Conception 07. 09'06" Delirious 08. 09'38" Why Not On Mars? 09. 07'37" Dew Point Review: A very good CD from Oforia!! Really 10 times better as the second one!! This CD is full on party music!! And it has everything, hard basslines, metallic sounds and great melodies,... I think song 5 is the best but other véry good songs are 3,4,7&8!! This is a piece of plastic that every Goa-lover should own!!! Bom Shankar

Ololiuqui - Valves Artist: Ololiuqui Title: Valves Label: Spirit Zone Date: 1999 Track listing: 01. 06'57" DJara 02. 06'30" Static 03. 06'01" Valves 04. 06'11" Pantograph 05. 05'39" Del Rio 06. 07'34" Correlate 07. 06'40" Activate Chi 08. 05'24" Supply 09. 06'36" Backline Review: Not a good CD at all!!! This CD sounds OLD!! I can't belive it's made in 1999!! When you hear this you think you're back in the early Goa-days (1994-1995)!! I think the melodies are rather simple and boring... Luckely there's one good song on this one, and that's nr 3; Valves!! A friend of me thinks this CD is very good, so maybe it's just not my cup of thea, but if you wanne buy this one, first listen to it in your shop!!! Bom Shankar

I've listened again to this CD a few times and I have to change my opinion... This CD is very good stuff!! In my first opinion I said this CD was not uplifting enough, well, that's a very big mistake!! It's very uplifting and Psychedelic!! I guess I wasn't ready for it when I bought more than a year ago, but now I am!! ))) Bom Shankar

V/A - Psychotropic Artist: Various Title: Psychotropic Label: 3D Vision Date: 1999 Track listing: 01. 09'48" Absolum : Indigo 02. 07'42" Talamasca : Halloween 03. 08'55" DJ Maël : Exploder 04. 08'01" Cat On Mushroom : The Fly 05. 07'45" Elixir : Twisted Jet 06. 08'03" Oforia : Aquatec (Rmx) 07. 06'27" Yumade : Syntaxer 08. 09'02" Oforia And DJ Cosmix : The Vision 09. 09'42" Etnica : Merkaba Review: A Fantastic Compilation of the label from C. Drouillet (Half-Transwave)!! This shows us some great stuff from France and also some (poor) stuff of Oforia, and the songs of Oforia are not as good as the other songs, I guess that says anough!! Also Etnica is dissapointing... (again...)! But when you forget those songs you have a wonderful compilation with some great Goa-music... The songs are also very good to dance!! Best song is nr5!!! Damned, that's a hell of a song!! Just like the title says... It's TWISTED!!! Other véry good songs are 1,2,3,4&7!!! Bom Shankar

I'm lucky I have this CD already, cuz there are only 10 "Classical Mushroom" CD's in Belgium at the moment!! (We have only 1 big Psy-Trance shop...) and I have to say that THE GATHERING IS BETTER!! This CD is not bad at all, but expected a littlebit more, some of the songs are not hard enough, it are not all party-tracks, or the breaks are too long... But that's only for the first part of the CD!! The Second part is much better!! Dracul ,Mushi Mushi And The Missed Symphony are the best songs!! And I don't like song 3&4... But what I have to say is that Erez And Amit made a new kinda Goa-Trance, this is different like other Goa-stuff!!! But I like the "old" tracks of Infected more... Bom Shankar
