Guest jperzzon[at]telia[dot]com Posted March 4, 2000 Share Posted March 4, 2000 V/A - Distance To Goa 8 Artist: Various Title: Distance To Goa 8 Label: Distance Date: 2000 Track listing: CD 1 01. 12'46" Earth Nation : Ear Dis 02. 06'33" Gabriel Le Mar : Why? 03. 07'04" Shakta : Between Worlds 04. 08'25" Etnica : Mind Altering Drugs 05. 06'49" Psychaos : Sonic Chemist 06. 08'43" Space Tribe : Out There In The Universe 07. 07'19" Tripster : Hypnotwist 08. 07'10" Cydonia : Shape Of Things 09. 09'25" Manmademan : Desire (Bumbling Loons Rmx) CD 2 01. 07'57" Psychaos : Mad Lane 02. 06'13" Dark Soho : Depth Of Emotion 03. 05'11" Cydonia : April Fools 04. 05'50" Psychaos : Flexual 05. 06'10" Aztec : Outer Breath 06. 08'33" Manic : Meltdown 07. 07'05" Wizzy Noise : This Is The End 08. 06'48" Cat On Mushroom : Exposed 09. 06'53" Koxbox : Crunchy Moles 10. 05'30" Psychaos : Electronic Uncertainty Review: These 2 cds are very nice and dark. The first two tracks on cd 1 are the worst tracks, then it's suddenly the change of the form of music. Now more darker and heavier tracks comes. Etnica have made a new track, and I think it's different from what they usually do. More underground feeling over it. Then Psychaos, Space Tribe, Tripster and Cydonia take completely over. With fast and very dark trance they turn upside down with the melodies. In fact, it seems like they never get out of inspiration. I have to say that this record is predominated by Joti Sidhu and Dino Psaras who are in lots of groups here. The next cd starts so amazingly. You could play from track 1-4 without breaking. Such a nice mix, and so dark. April Fools is one of the darkest track I have ever heard. You gotta get this compilation, it's a masterpiece!

Guest rox Posted May 23, 2000 Share Posted May 23, 2000 CD 2 is more psy techno than trance , but this unbelivable ! And CD1 is amazing ! all tracks is hi quality mindblowers ! 9/10 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anoebis Posted August 23, 2000 Share Posted August 23, 2000 Maybe the best of all Distance To Goa-comps!! The first 2 songs are NOT good, but from there on it all starts... Song 3 is really great and song 4 is even better "Hypnotising Mind Altering Drugs"... I love this sample AND this song... And after this it are all véry good songs... Space Tribe, Tripster, Cydonia... they all cick ass!! )) In this CD I also love the mixed CD... (I usually don't) Specially song 5 And 6!! (Song 6 is awesome... It's made by Dick Trevor and a friend... and it's the up to date Green Nuns-style!! ))) The only bad song in CD2 is number 9 from Koxbox!! But this is indead a masterpiece!! 8,5/10 Bom Shankar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slidingtrancer Posted October 4, 2000 Share Posted October 4, 2000 I just bought the thing, skipped the first 2 songs and went to heaven and only landed minutes ago when my soundsystem said: ' Its done now'. Damn what a cd. I have distance to goa 3,4,5 but this must be the best compilation I've heard in years. My favourites are Space Tribe's ' Out There In The Universe' and the Manic ( D.Trevor)' Meltdown' The only songs I dont like are all on cd1. The first 2 and the last song from Manmademan dont fit this compilation. Cd2 is indeed more psytechno, but I think there is nothing wrong with that. Distance, please keep these comin'. 9/10 ( i wont let the two first songs ruin this ) :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ehsanur Posted October 9, 2000 Share Posted October 9, 2000 I disagree with the fella above who says that cd1 is all bad.And I must agree with the bloke saying that cd2 is more techno-oriented than trancy. Not that I like techno,no..its just that some of the songs on cd2 are too much cut&paste and with no structure.However,after hearing some tracks by Dark Soho,I reckon they have a big thing coming in psy-trance. Cd1 starts of with an annoying song that doesn't belong anywhere,except the dustbin.Second song from Le MaR is funky,more house-oriented song which works well on the dancefloor (due to its steady and monoton rythm).Shakta's song is ok,but a bit boring. I loved Shakta before,but now it feels like predictable-straight goa with that catchy tune in all the right places.However, Space Tribe kicks off a audiovisual party that dives into the night with the beautiful track by ManMAdeMan. And by the way,Etnica's "Mind Altering Drugs" is the BEST song on this compiliation.What a trippy song. Grading: 8/10 Om Shiva.

Guest Slidingtrancer Posted October 9, 2000 Share Posted October 9, 2000 I forgot to say Tripsters ' Hypnotwist' is the best song on this compilation together with fluoro-neuro Space Tribe. Bom Shankar ( whatever that means) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jussi.ollikainen[at]pp.inet[dot] Posted January 2, 2001 Share Posted January 2, 2001 What? Two first songs on CD 1 are bad? Well, I like almost any electronic genre, so the first songs are good also. Very good even. While listening to the first track, try taking the beat inside your body. When the laser-turret sound comes and gives the beat a nice add, it's really great to dance this song. Just give it a chance! You'll love it. It's also a nice song to start a party with.

Guest manicmagicmmushroomman[at]hotmai Posted May 27, 2001 Share Posted May 27, 2001 Why the hell has no-one mentioned the wizzy noise track? This is how its meant to be, and if any jerk calls that minimal, I think they need help. Just listen for gods sake!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 Disc two might not be to trance but it blast the living daylights out of you. Damn the beats are tight, the sounds are wicked and diverce and it just keeps on pumping your brain in to hyper-active dark spots that lie far and away in regions not easily entered and certainly not easily left. Disc one is also quite good but kicks off the wrong way with earth nation and gabriel. the rest of the disd one most certanly rules and the track from manmademan is a treu masterpiece. I also don,t agrre with anoebis on koxbox, i think the song is nice and smooth and comes down on you like rain on the end of a long hot day(dance!?). I rate the whole CD a 9/10 because i pretend like the first two number on disc one do not exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest [Anonymous] Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 I disagree...thwe first two tracks of the CD1 are so excellent pieces of dancefloor oriented music. True, they are not on goa trance...so i love the first two tracks...(the rest of the 2 cds...EXCELLENT..sooo daarkly!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest My emailbearded_br[at]yahoo[dot] Posted December 21, 2001 Share Posted December 21, 2001 1st 2 trax on cd1 have no buisness being on a Goa compilation.If I want to expand my horizons,i'll take some 'shrooms or experiment with homosexuality;better that than having THIS shoved up my bum.Dosn't matter wether the trax are good or not,they should have been put on "distance to various".I don't approve of this false advertising/mislabeling;the collection may redeem itself,but I would have prefered a shorter collection inside a more honest album cover.

seraph Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 Average compilation....First CD is not that good, for me at least, first 2 songs do nothing for me....Between worlds is a classic and etnica song is not bad....Psychaos song is good but the rest is just average...The second CD is mixed by Joti Sidhu and it is rather better than the first CD...It is mixed well and the choice of songs are good...All in all : CD 1 : 5.5/10 CD 2 : 7.5/10...

Guest FinnHawk Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 I'll admit that the first two tracks on CD 1 are not psy trance and don't really belong on a "goa" compilation, but that doesn't mean they are bad tracks. Like Jussi, I am also open to all forms electronica and I think they are both good tracks in their own right, especially the first one (except for that horrid sample). The second one not so much. I REALLY love the mix by Joti Sidhu too... One of the best psy-oriented mixes I've ever heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
