Li Kwan - Point Zero / I Need A Man

I nearly had a heart attack when i read the above review. This tune is pioneering the depths of progressive trance taking you on a journey whether you like it or not.... but you'd have to be some kind of weirdo to not enjoy this ride. It's powerful, enlightening, euphoric and an amazing catalyst for psychedelic mind expansion. No matter how well you know this journey it will always blow your mind! Hardly any other tune out there will take you anywhere near this place. Even with all the technology and advancements in music production, if this got released today for the first time it would be just as amazing.

I don't know what do people actually like here so much. It's an ordinary progressive trance track from the past days, and there were so many of this kind back then. Really, nothing outstanding, whatmore it has a rather pathetic vocal which i don't like at all. Trancey synth drive and generally the sound is ok, but nothing more than a usual progressive house/trance track. There are hundreds like this, but you must dig deeper for the better ones, not only look for the recognized tracks that appeared on many compilations. This is only the proof that people are not too much into this. I can number at any time of the day 30 way bigger tracks in the same vein.

I agree that this is an awsome track, "real Trance" tune and all that shit, but one thing that is really surprising me about this release is that nobody mentioned anything about this version:

I actually bought this record just because I thought that the 6 mintues version, that released in so many compilations is not full. When you listem to it, you'll see that it ends with a fade-out, which unfortunately typical to some Trance compilations, and it sounds like the music continues. It seems to be that this is the complete track and the 12 minutes version of this release is just an Extended version, that ends exactly the same. It has some tremedous parts of course, but muscially the 6 mintues version is much better. Also, the sound of this record is not so good due to bad mastering.

At the bottom line, this is still a release worth to get, but not instead the original version, and definitly not worth the price that some sellers here are ask for it.
Happy hunting.

'Point Zero' is simply outstanding trance. A very nice build up to the break. Produces a fantastic feeling, and when the take off finds it's place you'll probably feel like flying. Flip it over and you'll find another track, but it's not as special as Point Zero. Especially 'Point Zero' is the reason to buy this vinyl, perfect trance with a hell of a break.

If you can find a copy, just buy it ! 5/5

"Point Zero" is the one & only trance track i like! Great elements a farward-pushing bassline and that female sample will push your feelings to the top! I'm very happy to have a whitelabel copy of this release. To anybody who likes any style of electronic music: Get a copy of it if you can - you will love it!

If you want to know what REAL trance records sound like, and, if you can actually find a copy, then beg, borrow or steal (actually, dont steal!) the 12 minute version of point zero. It still remains my favourite tune (after 12 years!) and the only one i can genuinely be bothered to write about. A classic

I'm not sure what that "I need a man" nonsense is about - though it went down well in clubs - especially the gay/mixed ones of course - and it's quite a fun track. What you really want is Point Zero. This is a cracking trance track. I should point out that this is really worth finding on Seka records as the releases on Flying and Deconstruction do not contain the full 12 minute version which has some great elements towards the end. They don't make 'em like this anymore.
