Nicholas Barber (born 31 August 1968), better known by the stage name Doof, is best known as a London-based psychedelic trance musician.
Doof's first official release was in 1993 with NovaMute, the dance label run by Mute Records, a three-track EP titled "Disposable Hymns to the Infinite". It was through Novamute label-mates Juno Reactor and Ben Watkins that Doof was first introduced to producer Youth (of Killing Joke/ Brilliant), Simon Posford, also known as Hallucinogen, and the Dragonfly Records label.
Doof went on to release "Double Dragons" as a 12" with Dragonfly in 1994, and to produce a series of tracks in partnership with Simon Posford, including "Let's Turn On", "Born Again" and "Angelic Particles". It was through his friendship with Simon Posford that Doof was introduced to Raja Ram (Shpongle/The Infinity Project/Quintessence) who later that year would start the highly influential trance label T.I.P Records. Doof's "Let's Turn On" (co-produced with Simon Posford) became the second ever T.I.P 12" release. This was followed in 1995 by another 12" for T.I.P (Angelina/Weird Karma), the Born Again EP on Matsuri and another 12" for Dragonfly ("Youth of the Galaxy"). 1995 also saw numerous Doof remixes, including tracks by Hallucinogen and The Infinity Project.
In 1996, the first Doof album Let's Turn On was released on T.I.P. Records, and went on to become one of the defining albums of the early psy-trance sound. It was subsequently re-released in 2000 by Twisted Records, who also released the second Doof album It's About Time the same year. During this time Doof travelled extensively performing live sets all over the globe including numerous appearances across Europe, in the U.S, South America and Japan.
Hallucinogen is the stage name of Simon Posford, an English electronic musician, specializing in Psychedelic trance music. His first studio album, Twisted, released in 1995, is considered one of the most influential albums in the genre. In particular, the first track, "LSD", which remains the defining sound of Goa trance to this day.
His second album, The Lone Deranger, was released in 1997. Hallucinogen's third album, In Dub (Hallucinogen tracks remixed by Ott), was released in 2002.
Simon Posford is also the founder of the successful label Twisted Records.
Written and Produced by: Nick Barber (Doof) and Simon Posford (Hallucinogen).

What a delicious sound to hear... Hallucinogen is awesome. The sound is so smooth that doesn't sound aged/dated... is pure gold. Would like more sounds aged that way. 💜

Some hardcore fucking lunacy going on in the live version

[@monsieurlepenguin6602]

How did they perform it live? Is it even possible to play those synth parts with such consistency for 9 mins?

[@Thesortvokter]

@@monsieurlepenguin6602 Patterns ate prerecorded, but often the switch between them, layering and such are improvised and the modulation and such is done live in the moment.

[@monsieurlepenguin6602]

@@Thesortvokter i see, and also how did sequencers work back then? They didn't have DAWs yet right, so how did they input the notes

[@Thesortvokter]

@@monsieurlepenguin6602 I don't know the details...

Ok, this has more dance floor and DJing possibilities than the far mellower original but the original is literally the most beautiful piece of music to come out of the Dragonfly stable and probably the most beautiful, textured and emotionally charged piece of dance music ever made. If you haven’t heard it before you should get your headphones on, press play and around halfway through find yourself drifting through the cosmos!
Edit: Haha, it’s the whole ep. The original is at the end. Nice!

[@ivanjokovic]

That edit tho 🤣

[@sanityquotient]

Definitely. It's the track that got me hooked on goa!

[@buzzard720]

Very very slightly over stated. And I havent yet got to the original version.

[@buzzard720]

OK. so got thru it and yes its very very good but you definitely overstated it. Its one of those tracks and there are many where I am left thinking that whoever made it, just didnt let go completely., that something more could have been done.. Still, very good, excellent even.

[@Libertarian606]

@@buzzard720 Well it’s totally subjective, right?
One thing though, your tone infers that you consider overstatement to be a negative, on which point I cannot concur! Hyperbole is my middle name and I am the best overstater in the entire history of humanity!😉
