How would you rate:
Etnica, Pleiadians, & Crop Circles – The Singles Volume 1
I'm fairly new to goa and psy and don't know what to think about things yet... The set is very good, but I'm curious, Is this shit? Are there much, much better out there? ...
this is a nice one (goa trance btw). if you don't know yet etnica is the same group as pleiadians and crop circles is etnica together with lotus omega.
good albums of those are Pleiadians - I.F.O (!), Etnica - Alien Protein and Crop Circles - Tetrahedron
imo IFO is better your set (still trip tonite, full mental jackpot and lunar civilization are classics just like maia, asterope and alcyone on IFO)
if you'd like similar artists, you might want to look at shakta (old stuff), cosmosis (old stuff) or filteria.
generally there are two camps of goa trance lovers: those who prefer pleiadians and those who prefer Dimension 5. if you're new to goa trance then definitely check out the transdimensional album by dimension 5!
(some other essential goa trance albums are Man With No Name - Teleportation, Astral Projection - Dancing Galaxy, Doof - Let's Turn On, Ra - 9th, MFG - Project Genesis, Electric Universe - One Love, Transwave - Backfire, ...)
psytrance is not as complex with less melodies but with a louder kick and a stronger bassline. generally psytrance is better music for mdma while goa trance is much better while tripping.
