Highschool Rolling Music

"First off, I will say it does take alot to impress me when it comes to trance. I hate anything having to do with Ibiza, jokenfold, and most mainstream trance. With that caveat out of the way, I will say this album does start off strong, but then quickly degenerates into fluffy "first time doing E in highschool" trance, almost right up there with the cheese to be found in Ministry of Sound. (might as well mix in some rainbow bright and carebears) The only actual psy elements I heard didn't really kick in until towards the end of the album, when it starts to pick up a little. This album would be great for mixing, but really can't stand very well on its own. If you are at the point where you've found Juno Reactor, Shpongle, Infected Mushroom, Hallucinogen, you probably won't be impressed with this. Its just too standard, not nearly tripped out enough."

From a serious Goa Trance addict during college years...

"Back in mid 90's was the beginning of Goa Trance craze. Music is fast, psychedelic, fun, happy music that carried me through my college years. I used to own over 100 Goa Trance CDs. As I have gotten older (having a child), finding time to listen to Goa is becoming harder. I still have good number of Goa Trance CDs in my permenant collection. X-Dream, Astral Projection, and Hallucinogen are in my humble opinion the TOP 3 Goa Gods ever initiated the Goa genre. X-Dream's first CD "Trip to Trancesylvania" is their absolute best work which one should not miss if one wants to know what Goa is all about. Their second, "We Created Our Own Happiness" is a close second. Buy this CD, you will NOT regret it. One of my all time Goa favorites which I will take it to my grave."

"What kind I and say. They are at the top of their game. This is some of the best psy-trance I have ever heard. Couple of great ambient tracks and some pulsing hard tracks. Favorite tracks are "this", "time beginnes tomorrow", and "automatic x". This album is greate for all new and old psy-trance followers!"
