Wow this was fun to compile. After suddenly getting backcat license requests for the next Paul Oakenfold Goa mix cd and also old school Goa Trance comps on Sony, Ministry of Sound and others we realised we weren´t on our own in appreciation for the early sounds. Our DJ´s are getting booked to play retro Goa sets. Up on chats on facebook etc we discovered that there is a bit of a revival in the early sounds that defined a genre and a lifestyle for hundreds of thousands of people from around the world. And almost no one can compile an album of these early Goa Trance party classics like Tip Records can. These 10 tunes are the real deal. Genre defining classics and great musical nuggets of history. The hard part was keeping it to 10….we already have a part 2 lined up. We then dug deep to find some old screen printed sleeves, posters, limited edition single art and white labels to use in the artwork. All packaged up with sleeve notes about the tracks. Highlights are impossible…its 10 highlights.

Thats the real deal alright! Amazed all this stuff is coming back so rapidly. Gus Till aka Slinky Wizard/BUS
Ahhhh...Panic in Paradise!!!! The essence of what this music is all about...every time I hear it I get goose bumps and am teleported to a field or jungle of my dreams - truly inspirational stuff. Benji Vaughan :: Younger Brother/Prometheus
Conflict by the Green Nuns broke my young mind into delightful reflective little pieces. Feeling Very Weird is another echo of why we all got into this madness. To be pushed beyond the boundaries of just music and into the simply fantastic. Mars needs women... who could ever forget that sample. Probably the most memorable trance sample track of all time. Naughty as hell. Simon Baring :: Twisted Disco/Casanueva/Neon Bookings
Tip Records returns to the source
Colin Bennun :: OOOD/Voice Of Cod
Great Collection from the original Goa sounds that have marked the psytrance scene! Mike Akida :: Samothraki Dance Festival
