Hello, idm-heads -
How far along has the Trance Europe Express series gotten? I've only seen
up to # 3 Stateside, but the rumour mill (as well as certain curious
Internet sites) suggests that the number of the counting shall be 5. Why,
why, why? Clarify, please.
And what about that Trance Atlantic series? Is it worth the trip (no pun
intended, but take it if you can get it)? Does the title imply that this
latter series focuses on U.S. artists, or just on artists who use
splishy-splashy water samples incessantly, like that spooky last piece on
the first disk of "Lifeforms"? Ooooo, always weirds me out at night. Yes,
Virginia, that was a string of bubbles, just like in the Lawrence Welk
show. By the way, was Lawrence Welk an ambient pioneer?
(Hint: the correct answer is "no")
(Correction: Unless you count the sound of the close-miked imploding
bubbles. That would be a rare sample...)
By the way, the moment of revelation is upon us, and you heard it here first:
(actually, probably 42 others have made this same observation, but I plan
to send a robot back in time to silence them, and then take all the credit)

THE FIRST TRANCE CUT WAS "ON THE RUN" BY PINK FLOYD.
Alright, I'm off.
