Pure Trance: Goa Trance Ep.20

Album: Golden Vibes
Release Date: 2007


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

Here's another personal favorite of mine, AFGIN. He produces some beautiful melodies and overall awesome sounding Goa Trance. Tell me what you think!



Enjoy and Later!

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,

@RightHandofTrance: Not many know about this kind of music because it isn't easy listening, so it can't be commercialized and promoted in mass-media. To be honest, you have to learn how to feel it and listen to it. I remember my way from cheesy commercial "trance" to underground vibes from early 90`s :-)

Are there real goa parties anymore?

Sorry for my english. It's quite late here, in poland ;p

[RightHandofTrance]

My evolution into trance happened in a similar fashion from cheesy ''trance'' to REAL trance. To be honest, Goa is great where it is and it is where it belongs, the underground. I also agree with you on the point that you must ''learn'' to appreciate these styles of music. As to what pertains to goa parties, i'm sure you can find some goa parties around (probably more likely in Israel and European countries more or less) but they are of much lesser quantity then they used to be.
