So, my next post is newly released old music, but these gentlemen helped define Trance. If you do not know who The Space Brothers, Chakara, or Ascension are (all the same guys) because you didn't listen (or were not alive) in the late 90s early 00s, you really need to check these out. This is your 2 volumes of history lessons, there for the listening.

These are 2 Volumes include rereleases, remixes, and remastered tracks that has just been released.
Understand that back before the digital revolution of music, all of "our" music needed to be pressed onto records, and their licenses were held differently... but no more. The good folks at Armada (and others) have been licensing and rereleasing a great number of classics for years, but these really are some of the most consequential tracks in the genre.
Fab! Thanks so much for sharing all of this. The Space Brothers certainly did help define the genre back in the early days. Their track 'Shine' is an absolute classic! There was a remix that was made around 2004 which was brilliant as well. Can't remember who provided that though, i'll have to investigate. I just remember Adam Sheridan playing it a lot. Furthermore, ReOrder's new remix of their track 'Forever' is excellent! Loved that being played on TTE a couple of months ago.
