Further exploring the outer reaches of the trance landscape, the ten-track Signs of Life compilation is an instrumental-only collection. Signs of Life sends out dance music and soundscapes for just kicking back and enjoying an electronic musical journey. Among the most spectacular tracks here are the speed synth propelled "Man's Tale" by Sunkings, the ethereal "Avalon" by Spectral which clocks in at almost 11 minutes, and the deep techno-grooved "Open Your Heart" by Galaxy. The music of India is the basis for both "Frozen Sand" by Liquid 7 and "As Above So Below" by Turban Bloc. On the former, Indian musical stylings are mixed with a galaxy of otherworldly sounds which soar over a thick beat, while on the latter Indian sounds and vocals are infused with classic Chicago house music percussion.

The album as a whole is like goa inside of a slow washing machine. It is psuedo-ambient and goa-infected. Avalon from Spectral delivers the strongest offering, and I have replayed the song many times. I wish I had a stronger bass system in my car. Even though there are other infamous trancers listed, their songs are not up to par.
