 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Art Of Trance is one of the most legendary trance projects that have influenced many trance producers worldwide. Firebird moves on the classic deep bouncy acid driven hypnotic trance with nice sounds effects, beautiful atmospheres and production that absorbs you in its textures straight away. Petar Dundov is the tech house master who transforms the original into a tribal percussive deep tech house gem sparkled with nice synthy riffs and mysterious sound design that will warm up any dancefloor easily. If you go for tougher sounds Jonno Brien unleash a tough bouncy version with hints of the classic Oliver Lieb style. Thumping basslines, vocal samples, acid overtones, synthy hooks and endless magic to dance all night long. Gai Barone is on board and he does again something exceptional. He takes the original elements and build a slow monster of a track with nice cinematic edges that will please your ears  and cast a spell on you. This is a journey that you wish to run forever. Last the producer himself deliver a very nice chill out version to finish your dj set with and let the stars shine in the dark. #PureGold Love It .[/content]

The third release in 2014 from Simon Berry’s solo venture following on from ‘Moroccan Roll’ and ‘Ricochet’.

Cascading jet streams, pulsing Subharmonics and a throbber of a bassline infuses the Original Mix.

Yuli Fershtat’s Perfect Stranger’s Remix offers a fluid alternative take with a melting pot of styles.

Art Of Trance ‘Humans’ is available on 30th June 2014 on Platipus Records.

'Cloud' is the first release by Paul Brogden's (one half of Union Jack) solo project POB in almost a decade.

Crisp beats on the original underpin a bed of spangly arpeggios,bouncy waveforms, and interspersed 'Feeling' vocals by the man himself.

Airwave widens the projectile with power-drums, driving the main riff to new plateaus.

Terra Ferma delivers a quirky 3 time colmulonimbus experience that requires extreme volume levels to fully appreciate



                                         

Dimitri Kechagias review: Some may search to discover the real sound of trance music. Platipus stays faithful to the trance music origins and widens our horizon of what we should consider trance except the big room or uplifting trance sound. The latest release Cloud by POB aka Paul Brogden's will definitely win your attention as it sounds so fresh and  pure underground trance. The original mix is hypnotic, driving, electronic, melodic, acidic and so Trance with capital T. The hypnotic female vocal and the whole atmosphere puts you in the so called Trance State. With closed eyes and open ears you move to the rhythm feeling the ground pounding along with the loud loudspeakers. Terra Ferma remix is deeper alternative trance version with haunting dark and infectious groove that very soon attract your attention and absorb you into its weird acid trance soundscape. Its the kind of track that takes you way back to the classic trance sounds that young trance faithfuls should try to discover and appreciate. The finest remix on the package is by the beloved son of trance Airwave. Laurent once again service a huge anthemic version with tribal drums, warm strings, dark cinematic atmosphere and incredible application of the main acid riff that very nicely drives the track to its final destination. Airwave deserves to compose a soundtrack for a movie and I hope soon to see a wise director to offer him this opportunity. Don't miss the package if you feel ready to experience the other side of trance, Highly recommended. Love iT

Originally released in 1993, Two Full Moons & A Trout was one of the seminal releases on Platipus Records.

It was picked up by Rising High in 1994 featuring the epic remix by Caspar Pound and mix by Friends Lovers & Family.

Platipus delivered 2 further remixes in 2006 by Luke Chable, Chab and Tetonik^.

Now 7 years later and 20 years after the original release, we thought it's time for a fresh take on this legendary release.

This time round from with mixes from Belgium's Airwave, Israel's Freedom Fighters & Domestic and USA's Terra Ferma, each bringing their own take within today's sound along with the Original 14" Mix.



Dimitri Kechagias review: Its great pleasure to see the beloved trance imprint Platipus records coming back strong with awesome new releases and re-releases with new remixes. The latest one comes from Union Jack and is the unforgettable trance beauty Two Full Moons & A Trout well known for the incredible ethnic female voices that touch you deep and transfer your mind to another plane for sure. The epic remixes from 1994 will never be forgotten particularly the very important Friends, Lovers and Family remix. Now the new versions keep the vibe of the original by adding each remixer's new perspective. The original remastered version is a top notch hard trancer with tough basslines, acid overtones and the brilliant ethnic vocal. Its so good that has already an exceptional place within the pantheon of trance classics that will be around for eternity. The new remix by Freedom Fighters & Domestic recreates the original into a fat throbbing nu-psytrancer with plenty of acid, cool psytrance style melodies and intense drive to keep the clubbers dancing for long. Psytrance seems to be on the rise at the moment and this remix will be an absolute highlight on the forthcoming events. The legend Airwave, one of the most beloved artists service his deep progressive meets trance version that is very epic and very different from anything else you have heard before from Laurent. The Belgian star did his magic with tribal drums and organic percussion, warm strings, melancholic synths and of course the well known vocal sample along with huge dose of Acid trance. Lastly Terra Ferma deliver the dirty, spooky acid trance meets prog trance hybrid that is deep, haunting, mysterious and loaded with acid overtones to keep your mind awake. The unforgettable classic is finally back, Don' miss iT, Love iT
