Anyone who head Oakenfolds GU New York mix will be familiar with this opener. Synths are majestic


Mod edit:

Also decided to add the African Horizon (incl. the X-Cabs Mixes), as they are both part of the same release and very good tracks as well.

Change the title to 1998*, as for 1988 this sounds too modern 😅

Mystica has always been one of my favourite goa trance projects, along with Astral Projection and Man With No Name.

Brilliant track. There are a few imperfections scattered throughout the track but it only adds to the charm in my opinion.

There is also a slowed down version, which someone made when they noticed the release states it should be played at 33rpm, however it must be a misprint. It turns into a downtempo psychedelic at this speed. Some of the elements maintain their allure at this speed, but the imperfections I mentioned previously get accentuated a little too much unfortunately.

Slow tempo

Love it and perfect opener. Its just the sound choices/design that makes it stick out. Its simple but lovely.

Added the African Horizon mixes to the OP. Would love to hear the X-Cabs Remix 1 in full, seems very rare.
