Don't know about you but I find it a trifle irksome to be presented with material obviously published elsewhere without giving the citation. Where was it originally published? When? Three comments: 1. It is Goa Gil not Gill. From Goan Voice UK Issue 25 Mar 2004: Goa Gil, a Westerner, who has settled in Goa since 1969 has been into music and the 'Goa Full Moon' parties. With Ariane, his wife, Gil continues to travel to various parts of the world to bring the 'True Goan Spirit' among music-lovers.

Excerpts: It was a scene once found only on the beaches of Goa. Women with dreadlocked hair stood by the sea swinging leather straps around their bodies making patterns out of the fire-lit ends. Ageing hippies sat on the sand beating their drums, and a mass of bodies dressed in luminous clothes and adorned with beads and piercings would dance as one to the deep trance beats and electro notes. But last night Psytrance exploded on the national club scene when 4,500 people descended on London's Brixton Academy for The Psychedelic Academy, the largest indoor festival of its type in the UK. 855 words.

In 1996 one of them compiled a track in his honour called "Manuel: First King of Goa."
