travbrad1001 Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 The people in the "worst agers of 04" thread got me thinking. I just started discoveriing psy/goa music in the last few years and 99% of the stuff i've heard is 1999 or later. A lot of people seem to praise the "old school" psy/goa stuff, so i am interested in hearing some of this. So, can anyone recommend me some good pre99 albums or tracks to check out? I've never heard anything older than 98, and hardly any of that. I'm probably missing out on some great music. thx P.S. I realize there are a lot of "best album/track" threads, but i haven't seen one with older stuff in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also haven't been listening to goa for too long but of the stuff I listen to, 99% was made before 1999. I just like the melody that I get in a lot of these tracks. Many new tracks are more incomprehensible to me, with their ever beating hi-hats just repeating the same short sequence over and over. Old tracks are like a journey, and each is one of its own. So now that you want some nice old goa, I will spell out three letters that do it for me: MFG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy hunting! DP 211640[/snapback] What he said, although you shouldn't always trust the "red marking". I've experienced that unmarked compilations are far better than the marked ones, but that's just taste I guess. Check out the reviews of different compilations, and you'll get a picture of which tracks and albums which are worth getting. Some searching in the forums is also a good idea (search for "oldschool", "classics" etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
