An absolute beast of a record. As soon as the synth washes come in you know you’re on a mission. It takes a while to warm up but that’s all part of the game. It’s a real tease. It’s trance distilled to its constituent elements which disperse and recompose themselves in a myriad of different ways. And all the while you’ve got those immortal washes. I guess one of the biggest criticisms of trance is that it lacks soul. Not this. However, “It’s soul Jim, but not as we know it.” It’s best moments are when it’s accompanied by the synthetic low end. It’s not Goa, but it’s on its way. A landmark piece of music that has stood the test of time and is due a new leash of life.
