1992–1995 / GLOBAL HISTORY
The sound moves from DJ practice to deliberately produced genre: layered acid lines, extended melodies and narrative arrangements reach records and compilations.
London became a production and label node; Israel, Germany and Japan developed their own audiences and artists. The term Goa trance began to organise shops, press, catalogues and line-ups.
A typical studio combined MIDI, digital and analogue synthesisers, samplers and computer sequencing. DAT moved masters and sets; vinyl and CD gave the movement a commercial surface without making it mainstream.
