Most beautiful dreamy, chillout, trance album - EVER!, December 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Logic Trance 2 (Audio CD)
Despite the fact that Logic Trance 2 is indeed a trance album with dance rhythms and a general techno feel it is really more for the mind than the dance floor. All of the aritist on this 23-track, double cd are either German or English (except for Laurnet Garnier whom is French). European trance/techno/ambient like this album is rather different and much more creative than the American music of this genre, probably because the original pioneers of this kind of music seem ot be mostley German or British. The songs on this cd are breathtaking! Classics include The Orb's "Little Fluffy Clouds", FSOL "Papua New Guinea", Oribtal "Lush 3.1", Jam & Spoon "Stella", Dance 2 Trance "Trance-0-phobia" and Underworld "Rez". However, the best songs on here seem to be the ones that come from the most obscure artist - Mindbender's "Should I try" has got to be one of most errotic and chilling trance tunes of all time - the sci-fi atmosphere and obsesive tone of the women's voice blend perfectly. And Electrotete's (side project by Juno Reactor) "I love you" is a sensual and very synthetic (romantic?) trance piece with the etherial voice repeating the words "I love you" - it's so haunting! And of course their is the purely ambient and heavenly track "Paradiese II" from Atlantis (get Logic Trance 1 for "Paradiese I! ) as well as Emojonal's "Silence of the Water", both very errotic yet relaxing tunes with spoken female voices. I most highley reccomend this album to any ambient/trance fan. This will surely be right up your alley. Take it from a very picky die hard fan if this sort of music. If I could give it 5+++ stars I would! A definate *must have* you one can't be without.

Your education starts here!, April 17, 2003
This review is from: Logic Trance 2 (Audio CD)
This is the first electronica album anyone interested in the genre should buy. So many of the classics are on this compilation. The Orb's "Little Fluffy Clouds", Future Sound of London's "Papua New Guinea", Energy 52's "Cafe del Mar", and Orbital's "Lush 3.1" are probably the best representations of each artist possible, and each song is a classic of the genre. There are a number of other underrated songs on this collection as well, including The BLYZ's "What Is Sound?" and Electrotete's "I Love You". This album showcases the beginnings of the trance genre, but has a definate ambient tinge to it. In any case, this is an absolutely essential album that I would recommend to anyone. If the filler had been taken out and it had been packed into one disc, it would be one of the best albums of all time.

Classics and hard to finds, July 24, 2001
This review is from: Logic Trance 2 (Audio CD)
"logic trance" was really just a failed attempt to coin a special term for experamental trance.. or progressive trance. Most of these tract hardly fit the current definition of "trance",but thats a good thing. Unlike most trance you hear today none of these songs have fallin into the "must have house beat for clubs" rule. Some of these are truely breathtaking songs from early on in certain carrers. The orb Little fluffy clouds is already a classic in every way, and you would do your self a favor to pic up a few orb cd's as well... and as you move on down the list you find some other greats such as hard to find laurient garnier, and somewhat rare Underworld. other classic such as orbitals lush 3.1 and future sound of londons classic papa new guina make this a perfect set for the new elecronica fan. All the other song feature on this album are pretty rare. Some of these groups just didn't get the support to make an album. While all the songs are wonderful. This is a decent album for just about anybdoy interested in electronic music. Old and new.
