by El punzante beat (4/4) del Goa Trance nos a la mayoria recuerda la percusión que las tribus aborígenes utilizaban en sus bailes ceremoniales, en los que generalmente la comunidad estaba dirigida por un shamán. Estas ceremonias eran concebidas como un medio de invocación de espíritus o energías, o a manera de celebración por los diversos favores que la naturaleza (o los Dioses) le otorgan a la humanidad. El monótono beat de la música ceremonial, después de un determinado tiempo conduce a un punto tal en el que todos los participantes del baile trascienden de su individualidad y, el mismo movimiento constante y repetitivo, los transforma en un solo ente, lleno de energía y en mayor contacto cósmico. Es el éxtasis de la unión.
El concepto del baile trance fue muy popular en los 90's (década en la que nace el Goa Trance y en general el PsyTrance), para capturar el fuerte trasfondo religioso de la cultura electrónica, habiéndose desarrollado junto a la moderna filosofía del New Age y las terapias del baile.
Palabras de GOA GILL:
"Nosotros usamos la música trance y la experiencia del baile trance para crear una cadena de reacciones en nuestra conciencia. Esto es lo que llamamos redefinir el antiguo ritual tribal en el siglo XXI. A través de la experiencia del baile trance la gente espera llegar a ser más sensible y conciente de sí misma, su entorno, sus disyuntivas como ser humano y las necesidades del planeta. Con la conciencia llega el entendimiento y la compasión... El baile es meditación activa. Cuando bailamos vamos más allá del pensamiento, más allá de la mente, y más allá de nuestra propia individualidad, para convertirnos uno en el éxtasis divino de la unión con el espíritu cósmico. Esa es la escencia de la experiencia del baile trance... Om Namah Shivaya".

Goa trance is form of electronic music and is a style of trance music which originated in the Indian region of Goa. The music has its roots in the popularity of the Goa region in the late 1960's and early 1970's as a hippie mecca, although the actual Goa trance style would not appear until much later. As the tourist influx tapered off in the 1970's and 1980's, a core group remained in Goa, concentrating on improvements in music along with other activities such as yoga, recreational drug use, and various New Age pursuits.
The introduction of techno style and technique to Goa led to what would eventually become the Goa trance style; early pioneers included Goa Gil and Mark Allen. Many "parties" (similar to raves) in Goa revolve entirely around this genre of music; Goa is also often played in other countries at raves, festivals and parties often in conjunction with other styles of trance and techno.
Goa is essentially "dance-trance" music (and was referred to as "Trance Dance" in its formative years), and as such has an energetic beat, almost always at 4/4 and often going into 16th or 32nd notes. A typical number will generally build up to a much more energetic movement in the second half of the track, and then taper off fairly quickly toward the end. Generally 8-12 minutes long, Goa tracks usually have a noticeably stronger bassline than other trance music and incorporate more organic "squelchy" sounds.
Goa trance parties have a visual aspect as well, the use of "fluoro" (fluorescent paint) is common in clothing and decoration. The images are often associate with topics like aliens, hinduism and other religious (especially eastern) images, mushrooms (and other psychedelic imagery), shamanism and technology. Goa trance has a significant following in Israel, brought to that country by former soldiers returning from recreational "post-army trips" to Goa. A great deal of Goa trance is now produced in Israel, but its production and consumption is a global phenomenon.
Goa Trance effectively morphed into psychedelic trance during the latter half of the 1990's. Both styles are generally non-commercial and underground compared to other forms of trance. The goa sound is more likely to be heard at outdoor parties and festivals than in clubs and places like Ibiza. For a short period in the mid-'90's it enjoyed significant commercial success with support from DJ's like Paul Oakenfold. The artist man with no name probably came the closest to being a goa trance "star". Believe it or not...
Progressive Trance
This trance is generally more laid back than Euro, it tends to be a lot deeper and has a less commercial edge. It is also usually slower (130 - 140 bpm) and has a wider variety of sounds - many progressive tunes use a lot of tribal techno and breakbeat sounds. The rifts in progressive music are much more subtle than that of Euro and never as uplifting. Progressive music relies more on subtle builds and drops guided by the DJ throughout the night, whereas Euro builds and drops in each individual tune. Recently much progressive trance has moved towards deep tribal sounds and breaks. This is often referred to as "progressive house".
