Pure Trance: Goa Trance Ep.8

Artist: Hallucinogen
Track: Shamanix
Album: Twisted
Release Date: 1995
Country: England

Goa Trance is the real deal. It is my favorite sub-genre of Trance. Enough said, enough done.

Hallucinogen are huge legends in the Goa Trance scene. They've got one of the best selling Goa Trance albums of all time, Twisted. Simon Posford (now part of Shpongle), and i've got a video of them on my channel, makes very interesting music with Raja Ram and is a genius in some peoples eyes. I see him as a genius. He explored grounds that Goa hadn't explored before :)

Goa Trance is essentially "dance-trance" music (it was referred to as "Trance Dance" in its formative years), the original goal being to assist the dancers in experiencing a collective state of bodily transcendence, similar to that of ancient shamanic dancing rituals, through hypnotic, pulsing melodies and rhythms. As such it has an energetic beat, almost always in common time (4/4) meaning 4 quarter note pulses per bar. Time is marked with kicks (bass drum beats) on each quarter-note pulse, a snare or clap on the second and fourth pulse of the bar, with an open hi-hat sound every second eighth note. A typical track will generally build up to a much more energetic movement in the second half then taper off fairly quickly toward the end. The BPM typically lies in the 130 - 150 range, although some tracks may have BPMs as low as 110 or as high as 160. Generally , Goa Tracks range from 8-12 minutes long.

Look out for the next episode,

Thanks for watching ! :)
