thebadtrip Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Goa Gil is playing here in Rio this Saturday the 19th. I'd like to know if it is worth attending to this open-air party. He's supposed to play a 18hr set ( ) What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ov3rdos3 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I never listened to Goa Gil. 383805[/snapback] He plays insane dark killer psy, like kindzadza, psykovsky, fungus funk, etc. his tunes are good. his mixing is aweful. possibly the worse ever.

Cybernetika Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I would most definately go there. Goa Gil is a living legend. IMO he is as important for Goa/Psy as Black Sabbath are for Heavy Metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaySatanicHippie Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 DONT GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will save yourself lots of agony and pain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAH Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Black Sabbath wrote their own music. Goa Gil just plays other peoples music. 384067[/snapback] apparently you haven't heard of The Nommos = the choice is simple... go listen to his new complation, if you can get past the third track and you can imagine yourself hearing that stuff for roughly 10 hours or 12 if you're a real champ go... if your delicate ears can only withstand progressive or 145 bpm's full on, safe yourself the trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pr0fane Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Ignore all the talk about him being a "legend" and all - If you like listening to really dark psychedelic with horrible mixing for 18 hours straight, then go. If not, stay at home. I've been at one of his parties last year, and had to leave after 3-4 hours - I don't regret going, but I won't ever attend another one of his monster-set parties again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time_Trap Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 i would still go to Goa Gil... of course i would prefer listening to him spinning psychedelic go but... whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebadtrip Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 I'll see if I can find some of his music. But after all, thanks for the kind replies. I'll post something here later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmtree Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Goa Gil's mixing has gotten a lot better. I heard that in the last 2 or 3 parties this year he didn't trainwreck once in the 18 hours. I'd go see him if I were you. His music is extremely psychedelic - if you don't like twisted psy, don't go - but if you do, it's a must.

I liked it alot, and I was surprised by his choosing of music.. His mixing skills is, as already mentioned, awfull.. But I had alot of fun to that party..

benf52 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 i saw that in the gms topic u said u don't like derango... well then i urge u to avoid goagil at all cost he plays this kind of music for 18 hours... go to goa gil's website... u can see videos from parties, it will give u an idea of what he plays... http://www.goagil.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmtree Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Nommos is still going, and it's been Goa Gil alone for a while, without Kode iV. Kode iv has turned to the dark.. erm.. full-on side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not ready to die yet!! Nommos is still going, and it's been Goa Gil alone for a while, without Kode iV. Kode iv has turned to the dark.. erm.. full-on side. 384477[/snapback] You mean Kode IV has turned to the melodic full-on side, leaving his obscure past behind? That music is just too much noise for my ears.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rain Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I would most definately go there. Goa Gil is a living legend.

I would go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybernetika Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Black Sabbath wrote their own music. Goa Gil just plays other peoples music. 384067[/snapback] as people said, he also wrote his music (as Kode IV and The Nommos)... I wouldn't even say his music is soo good, it's ok, but I've heard lots better. The point is he contributed a lot to the creation of Goa/Psy as a new scene and subculture. Maybe without him, we all would still be listening to EBM, who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
