vancbc Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I'm looking for Goa compilations that are worth purchasing. In addition to most of the recognized classic Goa albums of the era, I have the following compilations: Tantrance 1 Tantrance 2 Tantrance 4 Tantrance 6 Goa Head 3 Distance To Goa 4 I really enjoy compilations to hear the variety of sounds and music that was produced during the Goa era. Are there any other that are particularly outstanding that I should look for? I also have Distance To Goa 5 and 6, but those don't quite carry the same magic.

Insejn Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Perhaps some early Destination Goa records? I have #1 and #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might wanna check also dragonfly's Order Odonata series, Trust in Trance's Goa Vibes series Trust in Trance's Psychedelic Vibes series, TIP's colour series (more expensive and collectors item) TIP Singles series Can't really say which one I like best. Besides I don't have any of those series complete. I like TIT's series quite a lot though. Don't they all just contain the same and its just a question of which to pick? Destination Goa does not carry the same magic though. It sounds more directed towards the mainstram audience. Perhaps the success of the series bears witness to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cosmogenesis Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 For pure authentic goa compilations: Distance to goa 1-2-3 Goa head 1-2-4-5 Pulse 1-2-3-4 Trance Experience 1-2-3 (Discobole records) Matsuri compilations like The Truth of communication Psychedelic vision series (especially the volume 3 with a special Koyote Records) There is a lot of compilations, it's difficult to write all of them. The easiest solution for you is to see on the psydb.net website the goa compilations from 1995 and 1996. In 1997, there are also good compilations, but this year is the beginning of some changes in the goa genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radi6404 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 buy all Order Ordanata compilations up to 6 or so, because after that it´s just fucking full-on. You can alzo look for other compilations from dragonfly because they are pretty much the best Label for this, and look for some Transient compilations, it is very much stuf out that is great, nothing to copmare with the today´s shit, wish you good luck by finding the cds you´re looking for. Listen alzo to Cosmogenesis, he alzo recommended nice compilations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tantrance 6 is a must by anyones standars tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qa2pir Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 There's a comp. called Deck Wizards which is actually quite good. Many unknown artists and such, but still good music. Lots of variation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basilisk Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Resonance Mood from Matsuri is a great one! Saikosounds often has early Trust in Trance compils, and it couldn't hurt to have a couple of those around... I have #2 and it's quite nice.

SkeletonMan Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 apsolutly true 486024[/snapback] Thanks! btw it's "absolutely" Well, if we're on naming individual compilations may I refer to Matsuri's "Truth of Communication". If you are interested I think I know a record shop where I can get you this http://www.discogs.com/release/321645 for 7 euros sealed. It's a pretty solid release. It's mixed by Paul Oakenfold but don't let that kid you. The tracklisting is the most important, and it's definitely in order. Its a reissue of a dragonfly release ( http://www.discogs.com/release/12454 ), but where that is recorded as one long track, i.e. you can't skip between the tracks, you can skip on this one.

Guest Le Lotus Bleu Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I'm looking for Goa compilations that are worth purchasing. In addition to most of the recognized classic Goa albums of the era, I have the following compilations: Tantrance 1 Tantrance 2 Tantrance 4 Tantrance 6 Goa Head 3 Distance To Goa 4 I really enjoy compilations to hear the variety of sounds and music that was produced during the Goa era. Are there any other that are particularly outstanding that I should look for? I also have Distance To Goa 5 and 6, but those don't quite carry the same magic. 485539[/snapback] The first choice would be to complete your tantance collection , personally i got them from vol 1 to 11. From vol 1 to 6 are fully dedicated to goa with a quite nice overall quality. From vol.7 it statrs to integrates more proggy sounds & the quality is decreasing nevertheless with vol.8 those Tantrance are still quite goa/psychedelic. It's really getting more proggy oriented noticeable with vol.9. So for Tantrance, pick up vol 3 (with good stuffs from X-Dream, Empirion,Electric Universe,Astralasia,The overlordsMFG,Satori,Cydonia & Spectral), vol 5 according to me has a weak cd 2 but cd 1 is ok, actually better choose vol 7 with Ololiuqui,OVNI,X Dream, Sunkinks,Space Cat,Mandala,Orion remixed by Elysium & the marvelous Chi A-D - Exit Eternity. Like many already told if you're into Tantrance serie, check the Pulse one. There's a difference between both, Pulse represents more the goa core side which means less magic more power with 303 lines. Same remark as Tantrance, the direction evolves to proggy from vol 8. I think the quality is a bit below the Tantrance one. The best Pulse for me is vol. 4 (good tunes from Ux,Wasabe,Ravebase,Nemesis,Laughing Buddha,Digital Sun,OOOD,Mono Substance). Distance to goa 2 could be another good choice with Astral projection,Spectral,Hallucinogen,Transwave,Perfect Rinbow &Stanley Shanti + the chillum wallahs. Definitivly you must pick up some Goa Head, the best is vol.5 (Oforia,Slide,Super Skunk,Aeon,Alien Mutation,Quietman,Shiva Shidapu,Astral Projection,Cosmosis,The Green Nuns,Sun Project). I've got a mixed compilation that could suit your taste too, it's a double cd 'Trance From Israel' mixed by Dj Guy Sebbag (formerly Astral Projection member). released by Fairway. Another mixed goa cd i like is Trance 09 'Psychedelic journey (Return) released by Kickin with such artists as Guidance (Chi Ad),Lunar Asylum,Kaaya,Doof,Ux,X Dream.

vancbc Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 Thanks for all the great replies here guys. This is really gonna help me out. I also realized that I have Matsuri - Truth About Communication. I picked it up off e-bay several months ago and was so busy that week that I put it on the shelf and haven't had a chance to give it a whirl yet. Now for some music hunting............

I checked my Matsuri - The Truth of Communication, and the track list is completely different. Mine has Pleiadians, AP, Quirk, Nervasystem, Inscape, Typhoon, Endora and Kailash tracks on it. Anyway, I'm gonna give it a listen this afternoon. Edit: Wait......hold that thought....I completely get it now. I was misunderstanding the post; you were talking about two completely separate things. Anyway, the good news is I already have both of them.

Otherwise, yeah, it's just a reference site. ... but it's more than "just" a reference site. It's an information bank It's a haven for music lovers And it's a time consumer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
