"Futurescape," the Rising High America compilation, is a 2xCD along the same lines as the "Secret Life of Trance" series on Rising High UK. It's more of a showcase release for RH artists. All the material is previously re leased. It's nothing like the "Chill Out or Die" series either. Mostly trance and techno with an occasional ambient tune tossed in to the mix. On the topic of "Chill Out or Die" series, Rising High America recently released a domestic compilation called "Chill Out or Die America." I only glanced at the track listing and saw that some of the songs and artists wer e released on the UK "Chill Out or Die" series, but I'm not sure about all of them. "Chill Out or Die III" is, by far, my favorite CD of series. Great song selection mixed seamlessly together. Elegant! As for James Bernard, he has an exquisite full-length released on Rising High UK about two years ago called "Atmospherics." He also records and releases material under the name Influx. Influx is more trance oriented thoug h. Get his "Atmoshperics" CD if you can. Unbelieveable stuff. Hope that helps! -->-Lance--- mclance@ix.netcom.com
