"We finally have to learn to understand, that our dreams take not only its rise in our brains. We are the free space, in which the Earth is is dreaming. We are the imagination of the Earth, this precious kingdom, in which visions and future-formed hopes can be expressed with a sharp-witted consciousness, that exists not a second time in the whole system Earth".
-Brian Swimme

A hair of the dog that bit me! I woke up this morning somewhat stoned and wanted to see if it would be possible to rejuvenate yesterdays high by putting some goa-trance back on. A hair of the dog that bit me, as Jack Nicholson says to bartender Jeeves in Stanley Kubricks "The Shining".
My choice for the experiment became this newly acquired 1998 compilation out on High Society. So how is the experiment working out?
Well, the deciding factor for me to order this cd was the inclusion of X-Dreams remix of E-Rections Out Here We Are Stoned and this collaboration doesnt let me down. Melodic, aggressive, and psychedelic, all at once, and with the sample on top to laugh your ass off to. Classic X-Dream material.
Besides this some other tracks that comes to mind are Bodh Gayas Dream Machine and Paradise Connections (Boris Blenn aka Electric Universe) Synthadelic Glide. Closing track Cloned by Drop & Dash aint bad either. Besides these, however, this isnt going to be my favourite compilation. A little unimaginative, perhaps, this just sounds like stuff Ive heard dozens of times elsewhere, and the tracks have a hard time grabbing me.
So, overall, how did the experiment work out? Well, Id still say its possible to press the pause button, pick up the trance stik where it was left, and bring back yesterdays high. Even if not all the tracks here spin me right back into orbit, there are no far fetched fillers. And perhaps a track like Akasha Projekts 10 minutes+ long Smiling Doors is nothing but a big challenge. You have to be cool to get it and, well, you know how that might be a little easier the night before ... ;o)!
Anyway, even if all the tracks here dont work maybe I just need to play something else! Enjoy.
