Release context
Forest Of The Saints is a 1998 Goa Gil mixed compilation on Avatar Records. Released during the same broader period as Burning Man, it documents another facet of his late-1990s selection rather than presenting original Goa Gil studio tracks.
That curation is central to understanding the release. Goa Gil's reputation was built around long, immersive psychedelic sets, and mixes such as Forest Of The Saints offered a condensed snapshot of the artists and sounds passing through that world at the time.
