Profile:

I am a "universal" music lover and not a collector of numbers or names. I listen and occasionally buy records of most different kinds of music.





I love to dance and that works best with Goa Trance but also with Reggae, Ska, Gypsy and other ethnic or tribal music from around the globe as well as with different styles of Electroclash.



I consider Discogs as a playground for grown-up music addicts and record collectors. Discogs is fun but it seems to be an addiction like any other and thereby a flight, away from reality.

Total Eclipse - Waiting For A New Life - 28-Feb-08 03:37 PM
The way I feel "Waiting For A New Life" could really be THE Goa hymn. It is Total Eclipses masterpiece and such a powerful piece of real music.
Simple but of a deep sheer beauty it is like the "Moonlight Serenade" or "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" of Goa Trance.
It tells a long, a neverending story, with its beautiful melodies it produces an emotional mood making it one of the tracks that can really make me cry for joy, desire and rememberance.
Its pumping bass line makes you dance and when the voice sample says "If I could discover just one of these things - what eternity is for example - I wouldnt care if they did think I was crazy!" you might think the journey is over, but no!;-)
The peak is yet to come, soon sending you showers of goose bump over your whole body.

L.S.C. / Wood Dragons - Big Brain / Occam's Razor - 08-Dec-07 06:55 PM
Occams Razor is probably the first piece of "Progressive Trance" from a time when there was "only" Goa. Mark Allens hand is apparent here and gave us a taste of what was to come from his later projects like Quirk, Rotatum, Hopefiend.

Its pure dancing pleasure, a nosy, noisy, fun-blasted joyfully bouncing odyssey through one sound and a whirling, whipping, urgent compelling beat. Mankind will dance to this as long as it manages to exist. It just keeps on pouring every substance through your membranes that you need to keep up your life support system at the speed of joy.

Although Big Brain has a somewhat housey, progressive beat too, its sounds and building structure reminds me more of the epic, spiritual, classic Goa kind. The second masterpiece on this release none the less.

Various - Corrosive Breaks - Quality Controlled Electronic Beats - 29-Sep-07 08:31 PM
This is a beautiful compilation from the Psytrance label Atomic featuring some real good downbeat and other tricky experiments from Total Eclipse, Voodoo People, Jaia and other unusual suspects.

The "Dialogue" in track 9 is actually a monologue, a speech by Bob Dylan gloriously ranting over a reporter who had come to see and hear a concert of Dylan and to interview him afterwards.
Its from the movie "Dont Look Back", a film about Dylans tour to England in 1965.

P. Cooper* & I.N.G.O* - Sunrize EP - 11-Sep-07 01:07 AM
One of my all time faves, this one is WICKED!

Played on many early Goa parties in Germany, the B-side track is also referred to as "Absolutely Lovely Stuff" because it has that WICKED vocal sample saying it.
Along with some other uncomprehensible and distorted human exhalations (including excerpts from a liturgy) and high ringing and resounding thriller echo sounds over a deep bouncing menace synth line, an almost ritual and scary, mystic atmosphere is being produced.
This track tells a story, it must be one from an old thick black leather-wrapped occult book...
Some of the weirdest, darkest psychedelic acid trance ever produced.

The A-side track may be referred to its own characteristic devilish vocal sample as "Run". A bit more minimal but WICKED none the less with mighty shuffled beats and shoving sounds after atmospheric intros or breaks while A2 is a somewhat boring, stripped down mix of A1.
"It was a spirit of peace...Run!"

Is this evil music? I dont know. Anyway it is produced masterly and it works (on you).

Biot (3) - Ejector - 12-May-07 04:38 PM
The "Ejector" track is highly enchanting!!! Its old minimal trance and sounds a bit dated from a resolution and production point of view but it pushes you into ecstatic movement immediately when you hear it.

Reminds me of a clear black sky in the night, here and there some sparkling stars. This track is so "empty" and clean from any unnecessary sound and it sucks you in like a vacuum. Pure atmosphere and dancing pleasure.
