Bleep

Safe Trip return from the depths with yet another jewel-encrusted trove — this time, of the early trance variety. Early Transmissions 1990-95 traces the roots and refinement of the psychedelic trance wave which swept through 1980s-1990s Europe, Australia and the US with a generous set of tunes designed for collective ritual in clubs all across the globe. The variety is still staggering; Hawke’s ‘3 Nudes in a Purple Garden’ and Epsilon Nine’s ‘Life Formation’ share their genetic make-up with the rolling rhythms of early house and rave, while the likes of Young American Primitive and Human Beings stimulate a kind of traditional-modern approach.
