about

Unreleased Goa Records proudly presents ‘Goa Patterns’, the amazing album of ‘Slice’, a famous Swedish project of the tracker scene. Being a young kid in the early 80’s, Ola Lindfeldt’s musical initiation started with synth pop and italo disco. Fond of the instrumental and drum, he was particularly interested in tracks with a steady electronic beat and bassline. Later in the 80’s Ola was into hip hop and breakbeats, which led him to become a scratch DJ. At the age of 15, he discovered house and techno music and listened to The Prodigy and similar bands. A groundbreaking track for him was ‘Asi Me Gusta A Mi’ by Chimo Bayo in 1991. Three years later, he came across the ‘Order Odonata’ compilation by Dragonfly Records and was hooked on that sound for years to come.

The project name ‘Slice’ originates from Ola’s particular approach of composition. He learned how to chop up or ‘slice’ samples from other tracks into smaller segments in order to create his own sounds and effects. Many of his earliest samples were sampled from cassettes that he had either copied from friends or recorded from the radio. To create ‘filter sweeps’ he used 10 different short samples to simulate the effect, or longer samples where the sample offset was modulated up and down with tracker command 900. Ola quickly joined several Amiga Demos Scene groups such as Illogik, React, Royal, The Syndicate, and Powerline. For the latter he composed the music for one of their scene demos, ‘Stillborn’, in 1995 and, a year later, the musicdisk ‘Slice For Good’, a 5 track EP that fits on an 880 kb floppy disk.

‘Goa Patterns’ gathers ten tracks produced between 1995 and 1998. ‘Evaluate Your Lives’ and ‘303 Years Ahead’ can easily be considered classics as they were widely heard in the tracker scene. The title of the album refers to the fact that Ola produced almost all his music in tracker software such as ProTracker and FastTracker, where tracks are created by chaining patterns (loops of 2 or 4 bars) together. It must also be noted that at the time Ola was not really trying to follow any genre rules; on the contrary, he explored several styles including techno, house, breakbeat, hardcore, and jungle. But, at the end of the day, he was much inspired by the patterns of Goa Trance in the 90’s.

Some tracks also contain sounds sampled from a Roland XP10 digital synth and a couple of other synths and hardware samplers. Ola never performed his tracks live although some of them were played with his authorization at parties by DJ’s in the late 90’s and ‘Cyclonic Blips’ was featured on Swedish radio at a program called ‘P3 Demo’. For the purpose of this album, Ola spent considerable time to rework and extend some of his favorite tracks in an effort to improve them and offer an immersive audio experience. They are all released here in full audio quality for the first time. The only exception is ‘Jeskola For President’, enhanced with the aid of modern technology, as it did not survive in true wave format.

This is fucking good stuff bro. I just like how it's so filled, varied, playfull and alive, but not too busy like much newer oldskool trance can be. The sounds are just good, the vibes are epic. I'm pretty much in love with this. Have been dancing in the living room and will do so more and more for many days to come. The world needs more of this!!! <3 Update 30-06-22: Yeh, this stuff is so f***ing groovy and mind melting, it only gets better <3 Dance Baby! DO try on different sound systems.YUM Helixir Jos

I heard this track wasn't that good when it was first released, something about timing and didn't sound well. Damn, whatever it was, it's fixed, best damn track on this album hands down! Sheepadoodling
