Xerox & Freeman - Lemon Head (1997)

Colin McNeil - Kenopsia (2021) This track uses either samples of a ping-pong ball being hit or some similar sounds. I’m not a musician—I’m just going by what I hear.

Prana4ever: thanks for Colin McNeil Colin McNeil - Ascent To Venus (2001)

It somewhat reminded me of the track Dreamtech — Venus (2000). There’s something similar in the sound. The melody is different, of course. This one feels like a hybrid of classic trance and goa — super uplifting and kind of floating. Definitely one of my all-time favorites.

Brainchild - Symmetry C (Lange Breakbeat Remix) (1999) | Full 09:36 version

This similarity of melodies has already been discussed on the forum before, but back then the track Another World by SFX was overlooked. I think (though I’m not 100% sure) that SFX might actually have been the first to use this melody. Intermission — Honesty (Groove Mix) (1993) S.F.X. — Another World (1993) | Written-By Avi Nissim & Guy Sebbag Astral Projection — Another World (1999) | Written-By – Avi Nissim, Guy Sebbag, Yaniv Haviv

Quantum Fantay - Kukuriku Part 1 & 2 (2010) This isn’t exactly metal, more like rock. Goa rock! It somewhat reminds me of Ozric Tentacles. I highly recommend it!

If you're stealing from yourself, does it really count as stealing?)) 😄 Different project names, but it’s actually the same people behind them. Pharagonescia — Pharatropic (1996) Birmingham 6 — Policestate (Barbaque As The Goa Police Squad Mix) (1996)

Both tracks have the same lead melody. MAN — Movers & Shakers (1993) Mindfield — Let's Get Stoned and Watch the Freaks (1995)

The track Odyssee Of Noises — Lucifer (1993) is a remix of the track The Alan Parsons Project — Lucifer (1979).

TransWave — Malaka Dance (1996)

The melody from the beginning of the track Nihilist — Sunbeam From Fornax 4 (1994) was borrowed by the duo TransWave for their track TransWave — Adoration To The Aum (1995). Whether TransWave did this intentionally or accidentally is unknown to me.

Mindsphere - Nameless Queen (Unreleased) (2023)

Transwave - Trashish (1996)

The Green Nuns of the Revolution - Cor! (Unreleased Edit) (1997)

Talpa - Going Home (2014)

Ananda - Ping Pong (1999)

Has anyone noticed that Astral Flight by RA in the 2025 reissue is almost three times longer than the original 2000 version?

Two tracks: Icon (2009) and Eikon (2020) by RA. The first one is classic oldschool goa trance. The second is some kind of hybrid between psy-prog and new school goa. The track titles themselves kind of suggest that one is a remix of the other. However, because of the pumping psy-prog groove, the melodic similarity is not immediately obvious. But it is there — and the 2020 track is in fact a remix. Listen to the very beginning of the first track. Then listen to the second track from the start. Then play the first track from 01:46, and the second track from 06:05. RA — Icon (2009) RA — Eikon (2020)

X I S – Masquerade (1997)

Both tracks are in the goa trance style. But Sunstorm by Aeternum is more melodic. It even sounds like a remix of a track by Fractal Glider. Fractal Glider - Goa Len (Remix) (1999) Æturnum — Sunstorm (2000)

Kayseri - Electric (1998)

Secret Chiefs 3 – Zulfikar III (1998) Featuring [Starring] – Black Sun, DJ Salsoul Universo, Danny Heifetz, Eyvind Kang, Genetic, Trey Spruance, Zodiac Youth

You can hear samples from a ping-pong match in this track. Start at 06:25 Principles of Flight - Shivering at the sound (2007)

Principles of Flight - Battle of the great oak (2007) In this track, there are definitely samples of ping-pong ball hits, or something very similar.
