Oaky's Goa Mix (the original version, not the one used with all of the cleared material) was pretty much legendary stuff in the UK in the '90s and I do think he helped make trance fairly mainstream. The knock on effect was that when it went mainstream it got kind-of boring. Gatecrasher was also popular in the UK at the tail end of the '90s. I can remember psytrance breaking through, but it just didn't sound amazing after Goa, etc. Not sure if you remember the harsh joke about trance - there was one original trance record and everything else afterwards was just a rehash of it :) I thought the track in question was "Age of Love". I agree with it, but Donna Summer's I Feel Love predates it by a few decades and that is a pretty trance-y record.
