Hello all,
The oldschool lovers like me may agree, apart a few brilliant exceptions (such as RA, the pleiaidians and stuff) , that the golden age of goa ended around early 1998 , being "plagued" since by minimalism and now by the overexposed full on.Hell, even the artists who were on goa since day one turned into the fullon genre (which didn't happen with the minimalistic period) though however I understand you don't have to be stick to a kind of music forever... but the money helps maybe ?
Fortunately these last years we got more and more oldschool stuff released and I congratulate labels like suntrip, metapsychics or tranceform to keep the spirit alive, I guess this renewed generation got the history than me, having known the gold era while kid/teenager, then being fed of dangerously commercially compromised techno-trance all around and started releasing goa of their own.This movement amplified itself over these last year as we are getting more and more oldschool releases.Still under the edge compared to the good old time in terms of quantity as I'm rather sure that sadly we will never have a golden age again.
However I keeping hope and faith that this trend will continue to develop itself in the future, since there will always people to keep the spirit alive ,hence the kind of concept I call "the silver age of goa" following the golden age, according to ancient greek mythology.Though I'm not eager to see the bronze and even the iron age coming !
Do you think the re-release of dimension 5 could considered a sortof of symbolic beginning ?
Opinions ? Ideas ?
