Actually, Gregory Blake did some very nice Goa, and he gives most of it
away free. Hiberneria, FirstMix, and my favorite of his "Spring". I
pulled a whole bunch (like five to seven) of CD-length MP3s off his
site, so they're probably around somewhere.
(Not that I'm a conneseur of Goa, so maybe these are actually pretty
bad. :-)

I enjoy trance. I'm not really very sure of the fine distinctions
between the different subtypes, but if I go into a shop and buy
something that says "The Best Trance Anthems Since The Start Of The
Universe Ever Volume 1384925", I usually like the contents. ;-)

Ain't *that* the truth!

Mmm, OK.

Interesting... it's certainly in the right general direction anyway.

Strange, a google search on Gregory Blake doesn't seem to give any
relevant hits...

I noticed that. Weird. I'll see if I can track down where it went. If I
recall, I was introduced to the work by a friend. I'll ask around.
Also, by the way, while it's not Goa, you might want to listen to some
Jean-Michel Jarre stuff. Particularly "magnetic fields" (maybe
translated to "magnetic dances" in non-english), and Zoolook. At least
listen to whatever clips you might find on Amazon. Not Goa, but sort of
more like synchopated goa kinda? Hard to describe, but you might enjoy
it if you're not familiar with it. He's one of my favorite composers. Be
aware he does a fair number of different styles over the years.

I have a CD collection called "Synthesizer greats", and it has 3 Jarre
compositions (Oxygene, Magnetic Fields and Fourth Rendezvouz).
They are cool. Other great compositions in that collection, IMO,
include Crockett's theme and Miami Vice theme by Hammer, Theme from
"Rainman" by Zimmer, and Blade Runner by Vangelis.
Of course there are many others too, such as Chariots of Fire by
Vangelis, which is great, but has been (ab)used so much everywhere
that it has become a bit tired... :)

Very cool. Then you know what I'm talking about. I myself have AFAIK
every Jarre album. In there is Pink Floyd and Vangelis, ELO, Moody
Blues. I think those are my favorite bands.
I recently found out an artist I really like (Isao Tomita) who stopped
making stuff 20 years ago didn't stop after all. They just stopped
exporting it from Japan to America. Love the internet, there. :-)
The other album that's about Jarre's closest to goa would be the zoolook
album.

In particular, the Zoolookologie and Zoolook tracks. Which is actually
useful advice, now that you can buy this stuff one track at a time. :-)

Yeah, all very fun.

Vangelis does great theme music, but he also has a few klunkers. Of
course, he has 3x the music of everyone else I like, so having 1x
klunkers isn't much of a problem.

Hmm... you mean I'm *not* the only person alive who likes ELO, Pink
Floyd, Jean Michel Jarre and Tangerine Dream?
Never would have suspected that...

That one you can still get on CD. Bolero is the only one I had on vinal
and can't find on CD. But there are a number of others you can find if
you go to his official web site. I'll be looking into it soon. :-)
Oh, except they really screwed up the mixing on the Pictures remaster or
something. All the stereo is flakey, like they got the phase reversed or
some such. Very annoying.
