DJ Solitare's Retro Goa Explorations, Episode 68 - Eco: UFOlk
The 68th in my Retro Goa Explorations series of videos in which I present some of my favourite 'Goa Trance' tracks from the '90s.
In this series, I go back to my first experiences in the Goa Trance electronic dance music movement starting in late 1994, drawing upon my recollections of hearing specific music at certain events and using my classical music background explore the elements that I believe make these tracks so great.
The series is currently focused on music I first encountered in the '96-97 season, starting in September 1996, when I moved to London. The track here is one of the handful released by this artist, and there's quite a fascinating and unexpected backstory to all of his trance productions: Eco (aka Ott) with what I consider to be a masterpiece, UFOlk. After I give some background about the artist and the track - and how it came to be published - I present the music simultaneously with my observations; after some closing remarks, I then share the track without my commentary.
Two sets where I played it include my first set in Japan with the Solitare/Solitaire moniker (I remembered to record partway though this track):

    absolutely love goa trance. been listening to it since 9 or 10 years old back in 1999-2000. Thanks mom and thanks to a certain site called something with bay in it and you could download those wicked tunes. met a guy on a forum when i were 14 and he had all the electronic devises to make electronic music, and he also had all goa cds from 1990 up to 1996. i remember he enjoyed watching me make sounds in his studio. He also was a pyro technician and we made firecrackers and fireworks in his home.

    Resonance Mood was one of three compilations that changed the trajectory of my musical tastes, and my life. I had been fumbling around in the record bins at my favourite record stores, and although I had started to acquire bits of Goa, I was still just flirting with the genre. Then I bought Made on Earth (Blueroom Released), 3D (Tip Records) and Resonance Mood (Matsuri) all in one visit to Boom Records in Gastown (Vancouver), and nothing was the same after that. All three of these complications totally blew my mind at the time. I played songs from all three of these complications for the next decade, and I was particularly fond of this track, Lunar Asylum: Shadow Five. That said, I think my favourite from that specific compilation, both then and now, is the Manmademan track... Athalon. I hope you feature this song at some point too.

    you clearly know this track and basically the tracks you talk about really by heart, you almost take words out of my mouth which were my thoughts for so many years. and the fact you're unapologetically stoned at the same time in a good way makes it a great video. you clearly know music, and not only trance music, and its cool to hear someone like you talk when most of the scene are narrow minded folks.
