To highlight their importance in the trance scene at the time, there were 20 separate CD releases of the 4 Gouryella tracks from 9 different labels.
Incidentally, the name of Gouryella comes from the Aborigine word for Heaven.
Gouryella is known to have released six tracks: Gouryella, Gorella, Walhalla, In Walhalla, Tenshi and Ligaya. Please note that Gorella and In Walhalla were B-Sides and were never released in the UK, although they can be found on the respective German and Dutch import CDs.
Late in 2000, Tiesto decided he needed to concentrate on his solo work and left Ferry Corsten to write and produce Ligaya on his own in 2001.
First single, Gouryella, was released to enormous praise and contained remixes from DJ Gigilo and Armin van Buuren. Walhalla, also released in 1999, also featured a remix from van Buuren, as well as Hybrid.
The release of Tenshi in 2000 saw a slightly different style in Gouryella's work and some fans say that the apparent move away from euphoric synth lines and towards an edgier electronic sound represented Tiesto's increasing influence. However, a stunning remix from Transa made sure it became a club classic.
Ferry produced Ligaya in 2001 and unlike the three previous Gouryella singles, Ligaya contained female vocals. Paul Van Dyk, Green Court and Airbase were among those providing remixes.
Gouryella remixed two tracks for other artists, both in 1999: Solange - Messages and Binary Finary - 1999.
Additionally, Corsten and Tiesto released two tracks under the name of Vimana. We Came was released as a single in 1999 and featured a B-Side called Dreamtime. At the time, neither of these tracks were deemed suitable for a release under the Gouryella name (whose style was for hardcore euphoric tracks), so a further alias was created.
There are currently no plans for another Gouryella release, and even if there is at some point, it is almost certain that Tiësto will not be involved.

this video is so beautiful, the animations look so realistic you would have thought this was made less than a year ago. if my friend hadn't told me that this was animated i would have thought this was a live-action video. the way his cheeks were moving while blowing into that didgeridoo, the way his hair is animated, or the way he is running around so freely, it's all so incredibly realistic. it is also very touching how they are embracing the culture of people of colour without misusing any stereotypes. you often see people using stereotypes and appearance features in an wrong, or insulting way when trying to portray a foreign culture, but this video really represents what people of colour actually are, and i think that's beautiful. thank you Gouryella for this touching and inspiring video, i will be watching it till forever.

Definitely a product of the 2000’s. I kind of find it funny, kind of like how you would laugh at a toddler doing stupid shit wrong.
@Hybridswimmer
@TheIn8ererator Late 90s and early 2000s were the best times
