DJ Solitare's Retro Goa Explorations, Episode 80 - UX: Master of the Universe

The 80th 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. This track was a massive hit at the time, the introduction to a fantastic project that went on to make a huge impact: UX (Ultimate Experience) with their breakthrough track, Master of the Universe. After I give some details about the project and a lot of background detail about this particular track - including showing a clip from the 1957 SciFi movie that was the source of its now legendary spoken sample - I present the music simultaneously with my observations; after some closing remarks, I then share the track without commentary.

Many thanks to the ailing Kris Kylven for sharing such incredibly insightful details about the track and its background while I was preparing this episode!
