Let's be honest, Goa Trance truly emerged around 1993-94 and started dying in 2000, that's about 6 or 7 years of peak popularity. Then it came back around 2006-07, and now we are in 2025, that's almost 20 years of what we used to call new school Goa. Do you think Goa Trance evolved much in that time? After so long it's not surprising to see it decline, it's a natural phenomenon. Listen to a random Goa Trance album from 2023 and tell me how different it is from a 2013 album...

I see Utopia track was mentioned, I never understood why people like it, the main melody sounds so random, like when I used to make random melodies on Rave Ejay, I would come up with such melody, Utopia sounds so uninspired.

Your obsession towards that album, and Astral Projection is general, is suspect.

Yeah but random people named it like that, it's not considered a remix officially.

I would be surprised he paid Juan Verdana because there is no melody that sounds similar to Spiritual Healing, only the chords for the bassline are identical, but using the same chords isn't considered plagiarism (I think I read that somewhere a long ago, in terms of copyrights...). Just a random topic about it https://gearspace.com/board/songwriting/843350-why-chords-not-copyrighted-how-avoid-plagiarism-when-making-song.html

Very strange that I used to love this album, and I realized after maybe 7 or 8 years not listening to it, that it didn't age well to my ears. It grew old. Maybe it's finally time to feel that a release from 2012 feels old in 2025... The track I used to love is Ascend, it's still great but I lost those emotions it made me feel back in the day. Anyway, still top quality music, and track No Rain No Water is still beautiful.

There is one track I rate highly, it's 7. Delina Did It, and a track I do enjoy as well, 8. Sonnambula (with William Orbit). All the tracks before are boring, pompous, sometimes irritating.

@Oopie I am curious to know how you found this track, it sounds very old and obscure, I have never heard of Telesto, I see on Discogs this is from 1994, it does sound great from that time. Hypnotic and deep. My rating would be 7/10. I am now posting a track from Ololiuqui, released in 2016: https://ololiuqui.bandcamp.com/track/frame-your-thoughts This project from Germany was quite well known in the 90s especially with the track Chitty Bang. The track I am posting here sounds very clean to me, I am curious to hear your thoughts about it...

Probably from Israel, but that doesn't help much 😁

Amen doesn't have spectacular tracks like albums before it, but it aged better. What I like about Amen is the production and crystal clear sound (mastering). I can actually hear a bit of Amen in this last album, but as it was said, the loud mastering destroys it...

Pretty nice remix here: Biot - Oxygen Orgasm (Sonic Fusion Remix)

Genetic's classic early goa track, basic but does the job. 7/10. Not an electronic piece of music but here we go:

Coincidentally I listened to Goa Classics Remixed again a few weeks ago and I thought the same about the mastering, it is loud and while the music is excellent, the loud sound destroys the album. Same can be said about this new album, loud mastering, it ruins it all unfortunately.

Previous page has Miranda - Phenomena posted 6 times if I counted right Listening to Logic Bomb's album after reading abasio's review. I had forgotten that Neighbour of the beast has the melody of X-Dream - Panic in Paradise...

"song", lol.

I agree that it sounds like a sample, "the way it loops" as you said. @astralprojection so Juan doesn't answer because he is too important to reply to the average miserable people? Lol. The guy is the definition of one hit wonder, never felt he had any talent...

My favorite is Metaphsical.

Tracks 1, 2, and 10 are mediocre, not interesting, the rest is from good to very good. Favorites: tracks 5, 6, 7, and 8.

I did try several times to listen to this album in one go, but never managed... always ended up being bored.

Superb bassline!

@Odeca Glad you like the tracks I posted... I had a better listen at the tracks you mentioned in the opening post, found out some of them aren't really that slow, so I would suggest a 138 BPM classic. it's well known, chances are you already know, but if you don't I am sure it will be your cup of tea!

Hi bro. Will post mostly goa trance and try to remember if they are kind of below 140 bpm or at least slow enough for you... Prana - Taiyo Prana - Voyager III (Voodoo remix) Prana - Geomantik (featuring Merv from Eat Static) Prana - Boundless (Nervasystem remix) Total Eclipse - Nautilus Man with no name - Cairo Joti & Ofer - No name Tim Schuldt - Absurd Athena - Woodwalking Transwave - Phototropic Transwave - Ulysse Voyage (1, 2 and 3) Hopefully you like at least some of these!

Good album, though I thought a few melodies here and there sounded a little unharmonious (track 3 to name it) but that's just my picky self, I really enjoyed the album for the positive atmosphere and the melodic density. Some constructive criticism I can make is in regards to the vocals samples in track 2, pretty sure not only myself would notice they do not fit right in the track, either too loud or lack of effects, an added echo or other effects would have helped to fit it better... Do not miss this album for home listening, a very nice discovery!! PS: I read the comparison with Chi-Ad at some moments, hmm listen to the intro of track 2, sounds like Biocandy!

Thanks, I meant the compilation...
