Alright, let me see here -- you live in Detroit, or thereabouts, and you're into Goa. Could I trade you places, because you live exactly where the music I'm into is from. My advice to you - go to Record Time, buy out the Axis/Direct Beat/Transmat/Planet E sections and if you don't like em, send em out to me. I'll throw in some Goa mix tapes for trade, and I'll include a pair of swim trunks and some sun block to boot!!! Seriously though, I think Goa is just a load of bollocks, actually. Not really the music, but the term "Goa Trance". It just seems to be a load of shite, especially since it has become a sort of new wave hippie music. I heard in Goa they don't even spin Live, the DJ's just play DAT's because the vinyl would melt from the heat. Take a vacation and chill out somewhere else; "Never trust a Hippie." if anyone here doesn't like "Altered States", they should be shot. Ron Trent is the bomb!!!!!
