Trance is back! It’s been around for ever of course, and never truly went away. However, now it has returned as a fully-fledged noun and not just an insignificant adjective. Mind you, I never had a problem with the descriptive detail, it was the genre that often left me cold. There have been some excellent tracks over the years that fall into the category, but listening to a set composed of nothing else can leave one cold. So how does Manami do with ‘Eventide In Orbit’? Not bad. The title track evolves slowly to become a mature, elongated, electronic, hypnotic hymn, with shades of Goa. ‘Overture One’ shares similar characteristics, it’s less fluid melody slowed down to a frictional, tropical drag by Adam Pits. And as far as ‘Interaxial’ is concerned, it’s all out organised chaos. Pretty good effort all round on this one.
