Exelization is one of rare projects that emerged since 2000 that has unique style that you can immediately recognize. Darker side of Goa Trance was never widespread, but those who tried to produce music in this style usually made a decent impact....

This is 3rd "Set" compilation where track "51" by Ace Ventura & Timelock has been released. After "Set: 12" and "Set: 15", it got released on "Set: 17" as well. And it's same original mix on all 3 compilations. While some labels like to recycle same...

"Pressure" is a dark atmospheric remix of The Prodigy's famous track "Breathe". One of the best remixes of this track that I heard. From some reason artists and label decided to release it under completely different name with no credit to original...

One of the better compilations released by Nutek Records, especially because it has variety in styles. Best tracks: 2, 6, 7, 10.
Last track "Neutralizing Agent" was released in 2006 on "Solstice Black Compilation #02" by MX Experiments and credited... See full review |

This would be average Full On Psy-Trance VA compilation if it didn't contain two great tracks: "Addictive Solutions" and "Arabian Nights On Mescalin (Remix)". For me, these two tracks are without any doubt the best tracks that Eskimo and GMS ever...

When it comes to Goa Trance, this is one of best compilations that came out this decade. Some tracks have 90's feeling, but still with modern production, such as Clementz's "Conquer Of The Universe". If it was credited as previously unreleased Astral...

Remix is even better, it's available on Trance Form VA complication from 2004. Possible the best track that GMS ever produced.

Nice review. Since I agree about everything you said about their Goa days, I will just comment about newer stuff.
- The Great Unknown is officially a Koxbox album, but in fact it isn't. There are two reasons for that: 1. It was meant to be released under... See full review |

Various artists compilations released by Solstice Music always featured the well known groups and artists including Etnica, Koxbox, Total Eclipse, GMS and Synthetic that were each present on majority of them. Based on tracklists everyone would expect...

I have to agree with maroko about one thing - this release is definitely historical. However, that's not because of its quality, but because it marks the beginning of the end of great Goa era that was succeeded by era of mediocre and non-creative...

Stephane Holweck from Total Eclipse is probably the only well known Goa Trance producer besides Christof Drouillet from Transwave who ended up producing so called Night Full On (not to be mixed with Twilight style that originated in South Africa)....

This is without any doubt the best VA compilation that was released on MIDIJUM Records. While almost all compilations from this label contain at least few filler tracks (most of other progressive labels do the same unfortunately), no mediocre work can...

Dogma 3000 is an alias of Goa Trance project Dogma from mid-90s. As duo started exploring different styles, it made sense to chose new alias for this album. Style is closest to early days of Progressive Trance, however there are other influences as...

Track 16 "High On Lucy" by Gaudium and Easy Riders was already previously released on Set 21 compilation, so it's surprising that same version of same track appeared again on newer compilation in same series.

Track 16 "Pressure" by Vice & Morten Granau contains melody from Prodigy's famous track Breathe. It should have been listed as a remix since that's a dominant element of the track, but unfortunately artists and label decided to use entirely different...

"Dark Goa" and "Progressive Goa" are good terms to describe this style. You pretty much named majority of artists since that style was short-lived and not widespread. I would recommend you following two releases that definitely fit this...

This is big improvement comparing to previous albums. At least for me, they were extremely cheesy and annoying because of that despite some very good ideas. Even though new style is much closer to conventional Goa Trance, it still has some personal...
