being into trance, and watching it morph from an ultra-repetitive niche of techno into the biggest pop dance movement since disco, i've often wondered where it all started. a lot of people point to sven vath's "accident in paradise" as the first point in which techno became trance, having been released around 1992 or so. but what about the klf? the pure trance series, which first hit streets in 1988, could have easily been the first collection of tracks ever released that claimed to be trance... but the burning question remains - did they in turn inspire what eventually came to be widely defined as trance or was their style simply pingeon-holed as acid house and left at that? are the klf the true forgotten fathers of trance, or was their influence isolated to the pop world alone. i was 11 when 3am eternal hit number 1, and i've been stuck stateside my whole life, so my perspective is limited. perhaps some of you ultra-oldskool brits can help me out here... cr3.chromix.tom.maclean.iii -- http://stereoboom.com "never buy things in dreams. you'll just wake up empty handed."
Can anyone say ENO??? I always thought that the genre befell from him and the movement in the early 80's in the Detroit area. The experimental music has been around for a while and I think that it evolved. I may be wrong. I think the experimental evolved in Trance. Delerium did some Kool stuff in 1987..Now look at them. Please feel free to debate.

I asked Bill whether he had ever heard of Eno`s Oblique Strategy cards and whether these had been an inspiration for the Silent Protest packs. He said that he hadn't previously come across them until someone else who was present at his exhibition (and the pub afterwards) [whose name I can't recall, but he also used to be Julian Cope`s manager after Bill] had mentioned/shown them to him as he was currently working very closely with Eno. Perhaps we should put them online as a working electronic version like Eno`s version? When I get the chance I'll type up what`s on the cards in the order that they appear and eventually upload/mention what else occurred when I went to see/meet Bill when he appeared for his recent residency in Wales. Anyone else on the list attending this event this weekend? ;-) http://www.mycoventgarden.co.uk/westend/photogallery/santacon.htm
Well, the actual "grandfather" of the trance genre is no other than the late Beatle George Harrison. Harrison coined the term "Trance" in his 1969 second solo album with the same name, released on the Beatles' short-lived Zapple label, which consisted mainly of experimental electronic music with primitive synthsizers.

Harrison did a 1969 solo album called "Electronic Sound". Never heard of a "Trance" lp by him though, is it the same one? jon -- "Live fast, die old, and make very sure everyone knows you were there." - Alan Cox
