Why do you not think goa trance is "IDM"? What (in your opinion) is "goa
trance"?? Unintelligent? However cheesy, this shit does what it's
supposed to do! So it doesn't have the meditative repetitiveness of
Basic Channel, or the intricate patterns of Black Dog/Plaid/Repeat, but,
most trip-trap that passes for IDM these days doesn't do as much head
damage as "goa". I still love IDM groups, but "goa trance" has to be the
most overlooked scene as of late, and is just as melodic as any other
group discussed on this list.
Let me know what ya think, we can go hedz up and chat about it, matey!
