Goa/psychedelic trance & other electronic music!

yeah, I just went over to phpbb forums & thought that was pretty funny. I's too lazy to go back there & try to figure out who I ripped it off from though.

I've not logged in there for a while, but I remember that sig.

I have one by Goa named Head Rush. Don't have a
clue if it's a good one or not, my middle daughter and
I share passion for music, so she frequently tells me
what's new and interesting. Trance is one of her most
favorite type right now I think, so I even have some
Moby, Paul Oakenfold or something like that. I try to
keep up with what's new, though it gets tougher as I get
older... but Gwyn is a great teacher. Meanwhile I keep
her tuned into some great classical stuff, and really
good Broadway tunes as well as all time greats from
movies that I collect. I also am fond of most of Chopin's
moody nocturnes, and so is Gwyn - so as far apart as
we are, we have alot of common ground.

Babs, is there a group named Goa or something?

I's was talking about the Indian city Goa (where a certain style of trippy-ish trance originated).

My boyfriend first got me listening to Goa when he sent me 'Dance of the Witches' by S.U.N Project - which I really, really like. I've not really looked into it more though, so I only know about 3 bands (S.U.N Project, G-Zero and Beach Hunt)
I'm into more the Industrial and Industrial Electronic bands, so if anyone wants me to reccomend some bands / songs I'll be way more than happy to!

Scarling, I'd luv to hear your recommendations! Dance of the Witches is indeed a cool song...I listed it number 1 on my S.U.N. Project list a few pages back. Those guys are bloody wicked performing live!

Okay, kool.. I have no idea how many of these you'll have heard of before, so I'll list the popular aswell as the unsigned bands. They'll be either Industrial or Industrial Eletronic...

My current choice is - tune : tok tok vs. soffy o - day of mine (starecase remix) and album : rise against - revolutions per minute ( 'dead ringer' and 'last chance blueprint' were on repeat hah )
Or mauro picotto - new time new place from his alchemist ep with ricky effe

I like those Infected Mushroom samples a lot- I put them on my shopping list for the record store, thanks I just discovered this cool site through a Google search because I'm looking for some new music and this thread popped up- thanks for that list Scarling (I've heard less than half of them)!

I got some mp3s of a few that weren't listed here that I like a lot

Expansion Union- freakshow
Freaky Chakra- downspace
Birmingham 6- policestate (mature bite mix) my mom says this one sounds like a washing machine

Thanks! Welcome to A2K.

How about the Alabama 3 - Exile on Coldharbour Lane.....'Aint Goin' to Goa' is one of my all time favourites (I forgot to put it on my list)......and 'U Don't Dans 2 Tekno Anymore' is an absolute classic......

Cool, rendal, glad you liked 'em...your angelfire links aren't working right now though. I'll try to track down the tracks you and jill listed if I can. Cheers, guys

My recent favourite electronica discovery is Gabin, a French CD, which touches on that Parisian sound of St Germain Cafe/Buddha Bar/Hotel Costes compilations.

I don't up/download music so can't post you any links!

Monger, I'm now an Infected Mushroom and S.U.N. Project junkie Now I need more music- can you recommend any other goa trance bands?

Thanks a lot,
ren

Sure, I like a lot by Bamboo Forest, Juno Reactor (they mix in other styles), Hallucinogen, Analog Pussy, 1200 Micrograms (try their track "Mescaline"), Alien Project, Astrix and some others. . .

Any particular tracks by Infected Mushroom & SUN Project that stand out to ya?

I uploaded those files so you can try those links again. Out of the groups you mentioned I've heard Juno Reactor (I like them a lot!). I downloaded '1200 micrograms- mescaline'- great song! They're on my shopping list

The I.M. and SUN project tracks that really stood out for me were:

S.U.N. Project- looking for you (sexperimental)
Computer Breath (paranormal)
frisco machines (remix)

Infected Mushroom- bust a move (classical mushroom)
the Spaniard (bp empire)
release me (the gathering)

Nice tracks, those. I love 'Looking for You' and 'Bust a Move'! Goa trance is even better live though. Did'ya recognise johnny depp's Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas lines in 'Mescaline'?

Not Goa trance, but on "other electronic music" - if you like that analogue-ish eighties retro electro(clash) stuff, perhaps you'll like this track my bro'-in-law put online ... here.

He's really a jazz musician, got his own group and all, had some cd-stuff out, but he's also always been dabbling in this kinda ultra-low-key electronic stuff by his own ... i was lukewarm about much of it cause he never quite caught on with that clubby feeling i'd gotten into - a generation thing i guess, i wanted it more intricate, louder, passionate, danceable. But he did do some songs that were absolute genius. And now, of course, that brand of back-to-1982 electro is all the rage again, so who knows! I think this track is nicely moody - the lyrics/english thing kinda remains a problem but its kinda cute.

Anway, if you like it leave a note he always likes feedback ;-)
