It really doesn’t get any better than this! 1997 was a massive year for psychedelic trance; just look at all those classics! The playing field begins to diversify with new entries by several small-scale UK labels (Koyote, Intastella, and Helix). The sustained output of labels like Flying Rhino, Blue Room Released, TIP, and Dragonfly made 1997 a landmark year.

I think Psyko Disko – Psycho Disco also deserves to be on here.
1997 was THE YEAR. Haven’t heard the Deviant Electronics album but I think that this is SOOO rare that shouldn’t be in the list.
good crop 1997
my favourite gia trance music year!
year for trance music :D
greetings from georgia! thanks so much for making this wonderful place – from which I’ve learned a lot about magical masterpieces in psychedelic music
& about that year: For me personally this stands in a very very first line from the 1997
Shamanic Tribes On Acid – Acid Apocalypse
I love each single track of it, so much psychedelia & such a unique sound… be sure to check it & congrats to first listeners – PLUUUR ppl
OOOD- aLive is a must !
Just gave Deviant Electronics a spin and this is really deep music. They can do goa, dub, and breakbeat very well. Very underrated IMO.
The VA Wizardry of Oz is an abortion. It is an insult to music and for me holds no redeeming quality whatsoever.
I 2nd the Oood- ALive request.
OOOD
hm
Fluorostani Transcendance?
Wild1
but really
“just look at all those classics!”
OOOD-s album is somewhere beyond after all these…
but not as far as that of Shamanic Acid Tribes On Acid – Acid Apocalypses of Acid : )
Looks like Kosmokrator was first in 1996

that orichalcum cd is lost somewhere :( i miss so much
go and make top10′s and bla bla’s from these collection :) noway
thank you for bringing us these info… ah nostalgia
Hi, it’s me again…I was wondering if you know where I can legally download with a credit card the 3d comp? Everywhere on the internet is torrents, and I am no thief.
I am fairly certain there is no legal means of downloading any of the old TIP Records releases. Same goes with most of the old school classics released on dead labels. Only Dragonfly and Twisted seem to bother stocking their oldies online.
Thanks Basilisk for helping me locate Psychopod’s EP. They Rock!!
Damn, i’m dying to get my hand on that deviant disc, but it’s nowhere to be found!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, that one is extremely rare! Good luck finding it.
flying rhino i believe released all of their old vinyls on the wbsite but has been closed now sadly, i have a few copies of the devient electronics album on vinyl
