From CDC: PLE50099 SECRET LIFE OF TRANCE VOLUME 1 $12.86 PLANET EARTH 3/94 INFLUX/SEQUENTIAL/RD1/BALIL OBX/KIBU/POSITIVE S According to this, it came out last month. Here is a track listing and review from uk-dance: Various: The Secret Life of Trance Rising High RSN CD6 UK 1993 77:37 Sequential: Prophet Spicelab: Quicksand Hardfloor: Hardtrance Acperience 1 Ongaku: Mihon Love Inc: Trance Atlantic XS Bi-Face: Ambience 137 Rising High Collective: No Deeper Love (Irresistable Force mix) Influx: Braineater Barbarella: Barbarella (Pound & Smith remix) Black Dog Productions: Flux D Mix A compilation of tracks from Germany's Harthouse, Pod and Force Inc. labels mixed in with 3 from Rising High themselves. Stand out is the awesome Hardfloor track which despite having been played to death for ages I still love. Barbarella is one of several Rising High remixes from Sven Vath's Barbarella album, apparently being held back from UK release by Warner Brothers. Well up to Vath's usual high standard. Spicelab's Quicksand rounds things off for Harthouse with a nice ambient track featuring spacey synths over gentle percussion. Best from Pod is Sequential's Prophet - better mix than on the Sequential album with what sounds like a tropical bird house in the background. The acidy Ongaku and Bi-Face are less interesting. Love Inc and Rising High's Influx are good, but Black Dog turn in one of their less polished performances. Despite an attempt to rescue it by the Mix Master, label boss Caspar Pound's No Deeper Love is dire. **** -------------- This must be the UK version. Is the US version any different? -boB
