So many people have tried to duplicate this track - from Josh Wink's "Higher States of Consciousness" to Slam's "Positive Education" but none can touch Ron Trent's "Altered States." This track captures it all - the acid workout, the feeling of Detroit techno and Chicago house. It's got guts. Don't fall for the pretenders.
THE Chicago Warehouse track; Altered States is dark, wonderful, and almost impossible to obtain in it's initial guise. Luckily Djax re-released this original mix with some POOR remixes. As has been said about these mixes - if it it ain't broke, don't fix it.
The epitome of less being more, the constituent elements of this track are few but Master Trent works each part continuously to produce one of the most perfect and moving tracks it has ever been my honour to hear. The two b-side tracks are also very beautiful but bow to the supremacy of the title track.
