Try System 7 sometime. > I agree with this 100 percent. I got used to that same techno 4 down bass feeling and began getting kind of bored with it. Then I journeyed to this rave where there were playing some mad ass goa. . wow, some intense stuff. . fast, wierd 303 sounds, fucked up bass. . there was soo much energy that I didnt stop dancing that whole night. . And also, System 7 is great, one of my fav goa/trance artists. I first heard them on the Hypnotic Trancespotting disk (which is overall pretty weak other than a few tracks) and again on Sci-Fi Cafe (also on Hynotic). I have since gone out and bought a few of their disks and have not been disappointed yet. :Tin:
