Soforia was all about the experience, and helping people learn new things about themselves - it was never about absolute domination, or draining someone's bank accounts, or anything like it. She was and will forever be an artist first and foremost and the imaginations of those she worked with were basically her canvas, I'd say.
As noted, she really was the first widely known "Hypnodomme" out there, especially around the time the Internet as it exists today came about (around 1992-ish when DARPA released immediate day to day control over what was then the ARPAnet which then became "the Internet" as we know it now).
At one point I did have a great many Soforia files but I've lost them over time for various reasons (damaged backups, etc) but someday I do hope to re-acquire as many of them as I can. I feel the same way about AnonyMistress as well, and I keep scouring over the backups I have around hoping to find them once more since I had quite a few but just literally cannot find them anymore, sadly.
Both of those artists sit at the top of my faves (AnonyMistress has a slight edge because of that voice) and Nikki Fatale is right there nowadays as well. If only the original productions of Soforia and AnonyMistress could have been done in a more professional manner I swear, that would be like a Holy Grail type thing. As it is, a lot of their oldest original content was done with bare bones hardware, low quality mics, cassette recorders, etc and so they suffer from noise and other problems.
I myself worked on a few of Soforia's last files for her after they were done to improve the quality of them years ago but it was about the time when her health took a nosedive so it's probable that she never had the opportunity to hear what I'd been able to accomplish in terms of editing them and cleaning them up and making them sound better (at least IMO, that is).
Another great one that rarely if ever gets mentioned around here is Lady Ru'etha who's been around for quite some time but doesn't have a massive treasure trove of content available. She's also gone by several names over the years but the current one seems to be what she's settled on it seems. She released two free files many years ago, Eye Inducer and Meteor Total Trance, and the first time I listened to Eye Inducer (as named, it's an eye induction trance which are the most intimate kinds) and I swear, I've never dropped so hard from an audio file on the very first listen and I've heard hundreds if not thousands of 'em over the decades. :)
She has a remixed version of Eye Inducer at her website in the free files section (blisstrance.com) but I don't find it all that interesting - it's got some music and reverb and multiple voices overlaid in it now, whereas the original file (which I still have) is just her voice, which is all that matters.
If anyone wants that original Eye Inducer just say so and I'll post it someplace, it's basically impossible to find anymore - I don't think even Ru'etha has the original unedited unremixed version but I will treasure it forever.
