This is one of the most famous goa compilations ever, probably due to the fact that it was the first psi-trance compilation with the word “goa” in the title and which would become a series. It came out in early 1995 and most titles are in fact from 1994.

Album starts with the super hits “Waiting for a New Life” and “Wizard”. The first is my all time favourite and is probably the track which put Total Eclipse on the map of trance. The second track by Slinky Wizard has that unmistakable Simon Posford “hallucinogenic” sound. Another classic is “Scarab” by Prana. This has some mind twisting sounds, typical of his Matsuri label (now long defunct). Total Eclipse’ “Far Beyond Speech” is another super fav of mine. Though relatively short for a goa track (just 6 mins) this track manages to build up very quickly. The worst track is “The Return Home” – it’s very minimalistic, more a progressive track with some psychedelic sounds. All other tracks won’t disappoint for sure, check out especially Moog’s “Euromotors” and the closing hard/psi-trance crossover “Exquisite Sin”

Distance to Goa Volume 1 is a sure classic that won’t disappoint!
