A Brief History of Goa Trance, By Talamasca:

The idea to produce this album first came to me when I was just a kid in this scene
back in the late 90s. It has taken me more than two decades to finally make this idea
into a reality.
The idea became a real project in June 2015 when I got the encouragement I needed
to begin for real. I was playing with Astral Projection in Belgium for a Dacru
Records party. I was talking with with Avi and Lior backstage and I mentioned that I
had this idea of making one track that was composed of the best parts of three of my
favourite Astral Projection tracks . They were very excited about the idea and encouraged me to do it.
Three months later in August 2015, I premiered the Astral Projection “tribute” at the Psy-Fi Festival in 
the Netherlands. It tore up the dance floor!
So I decided to make a full album of “tribute tracks” using this formula : I would take 
my favourite tracks from my favourite bands of the golden era of Goa Trance and make 
one track that would capture (and honour) the best sounds, power, spirit and innovation of those original tracks. 
It wasn't easy. I had to recreate everything. I had to put all the tracks into one 
project that was in the same key. And then I had to get the authorization from all 
these amazing artists ( and now friends...) to publish these new tracks I was creating. It was 
a bit dangerous as these tracks represent the history of this music to many fans.
The actual originals of these tracks were hard to pin down. It has been over 20 
years since some of these tracks were released. They were on a variety of different 
labels, and even done under different band names. But more than that, these tracks 
are considered sacred to many in the global Psytrance community. I had to be very 
careful with what I was doing. I was tinkering with the greatest hits by the legends of the genre.
I spent more than a year and a half arranging the elements of each of these tracks. I produced different versions and tested them by playing them at parties. I did NOT want to make "covers" of the tracks that sounded exactly the same as the original.

I had to do this because I LOVE THIS MUSIC ! I loved the challenge of
making a new track from the ideas and creativity of my friends that produced this
life changing music in the first place. And to do it more than once, enough times so
that I had enough tracks for an entire album.
I have worked and reworked each track. I have arranged and rearranged. I have
changed melodies and restructured the new versions until I was satisfied with them
all. I had so much fun making these tracks, that I can only hope you will have the same fun to listen to them ! 

Thank you for all your support !

From the sleeve notes from the Psychedelica Melodica album:

8. Spanish Gypsy

Until quite recently I lived the Sierra Guadarrama mountains in Spain for several years where I was exposed to a lot of excellent Flamenco music, which is the music of the Gypsies or Romani. 

Being a guitarist myself I couldn't help but get sucked into figuring out how to play this style on guitar. While I was learning, I was struck by the similarity between Flamenco and North African and Indian music and when I analysed it, I found that they share certain musical scales. (interestingly the Romani were originally a nomadic tribe from northen India that travelled to Europe in the12th century) 

Another musical conjunction was the similarity (to me) between the harmony and rhythm of the opening bars of that quintessentially Spanish dance the Pasa Doble and a lot of Trance built on a gallop rhythm. 

So the original inspirational spark began with the possibility of combining all these musical threads into one piece of music. So, I started by creating the melody on a Flamenco scale, over the rhythm of the Pasa Doble with it's semi-tone harmonic movement and mixed that with certain elements of the older Indian influenced Goa-trance sound, but built it all on a foundation of the big kick and bass from the more modern Psytrance sound. 

Later I dusted off the (steel strung) acoustic and recorded some melodic guitar parts using some newly learned Flamenco licks to emphasis the Gitano flavour. 

The track you hear is the result of this weird musical synthesis of Goa, Psy trance, Flamenco and the Pasa Doble.
