The direct correlation between the Psychedelic Rock of the 60's and
the Psychedelic Trance of today, can be found in the use of
hallucinogens. Let's examine the history leading up to the
Psychedelic Trance scene.
Sometime around the early to mid 60's, Goa, a state on the west coast
of India that was once a Portuguese colony, was discovered by a group
of travelers, including "Eight Finger Eddie", a pioneer of beatnik.
Because of the moderate climate (it does not rain between October and
March), beautiful beaches, and inexpensive cost of living, Goa became
a place of retreat for hippies and travellers.
Goa is the starting point for a vibrant type of dance music named
after the area, Goa trance. Goa trance is best described as
psychedelic dance music, or psychedelic trance. An original icon of
the free love movement of the 60's, Goa was a place where the pagan
locals encouraged sex and free thinking. A substance called "datura
weed" was the local source and ingredient needed to achieve a "trip".
Datura weed, dancing, and the booming rhythmic beat of the native
music, pushed participants into a trance-like state of feeling giddy,
and insensible. This feeling was a coveted way of life by the early
hippies, and advocates of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll.
The 1960's was a time of revolution in music, art, politics,
lifestyles, technology, fashion, and the Leave it to Beaver way of
life. People wanted to experiment and throw out conventional
thinking. Dr. Timothy Leary was raving about the pleasures of LSD
(also known as Acid) to the fun loving, trip seeking individuals, old
and young alike. The loud, distorted collage of experimental sounds
of the music of the era heightened the effects of the drug by causing
a more intense "trip". Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, and the Who, were
among the favorites.
Flash Forward to Europe in the early 90's, when two major happenings
surfaced at the same time, Techno Rock and Ecstasy.
Ecstasy had been used in the United States as a tool for therapy, and
was quickly absorbed into already existing psychedelic scenes. In
Europe, Ecstasy started a new scene, and it was soon coupled with the
new beat of Techno music and transported via a subculture of travelers
back to India.
In locations such as Katmandu, Anjuna, etc., the people making and
playing the new music, integrated the old hippie, acid-loving,
approach to life into the sound. And soon they had molded and changed
the music to reflect their various feelings and belief systems,
culminating in the birth of Goa Trance, or Psychedelic Trance.
The more people used Ecstasy, they built up immunity to the effects of
the drug. LSD differs in that aspect, as it will never cause a person
to be immune from it's effects. Because of this, the people within
the psychedelic music scene, are reverting back to LSD as the drug of
choice, in order to achieve the narcotic-induced trance state.
I hope you find this information helpful. I am listing many links to
various sites that will give many details concerning the
simililarities of Psychedelic Rock and Psychedelic Trance. I have
also listed some sites concerning DJ's and general information.
Enjoy!
It has been a pleasure to provide this assistance.
