It was during the fall of 1999 when I bought this CD. By then I was already bored by the direction Goa Trance had taken and only few releases I had bought by then (from 1999) had the old good style. This Phantasm compilation immediately stunned me for its twisted and mindboggling style which totally lacked in most I had heard by then from the same year.

But alas, years after thanks to discogs I find that all these tracks are from 1997 and 1998, which is no wonder actually. The tracks are all from previously released vinyl singles from Phantasm and its long defunct sub-label Psychic Deli, except Gorlation Corporation’s track which appeared first time here. I really dig all titles here especially Subcouds’ Space Angel and ECT’s Maelstrom.

A highly recommended, solid compilation from an ever consistent UK label which is easily the oldest Goa trance label still active since 1993!
