referencing Behind The Eye Vol. 1, CD, Comp, Dig, 4509 96216-2

No comments yet? How can this be? Isn't this Sven Väth's seminal trance compilation - back before trance degraded into inbred mindlessness? The first few tracks, esp 'Virtual Symmetry' are beamed straight from heaven. And yes you've heard these ideas a million times since - but this was the time and the place (frankfurt, early 90s) that birthed this vibe. Perhaps even more than Jam & Spoon's Tripomatic Fairytales, this is a slice of culture of that time and place. Yes we've heard these ideas a million times since but that underscores the importance of these works, not those that copied them. This was also the clique that made the Waldorf Microwave the staple of the trance sound.
