Incidental information:

Acen's notes on this release:

"Written & produced in the spring of 1992 on the MPC-60 & W30.
Inspired by a pitch black forest rave with only the moon as light source."

Track A replays the strings from "You Only Live Twice" by Nancy Sinatra, from the film of the same name (Only the promo samples it directly).
Also samples Daddy Freddy - Live Jam (Music Of Life 'Hustlers Convention')"Now 'ere dis / Enough respect to all the massive" and 80 Aum.

Track AA strings are taken from "Chi Mai" by Ennio Morricone. The bassline from this tune was later used on "You & Me" by Ruff Rider.

Rated 5/5

Visionary rave music, that has not been surpassed by Acen or any other artist. A truly spiritual track, exploding with ideas, creativity and passion - three ingredients that so many producers sadly lack today.

There will never be another Trip II the Moon trilogy!

There are at least 3 versions which I have heard of Trip to the Moon Part 2.
The normal version with Pic sleeve is the common version. Etched into the vinyl is PNT042R A-3. This has a re-synthed part instead of the original Bond sample.
The white label version with 'Official DJ Promo' stamped on it has the original sample from Bond, and also has some vocals re-aranged. Etched into the A-side is PNT042R A-1.
There is also another version with a totally different string section which was played by S.Jackson on Kiss FM back in 92. I only have a recording of this unfortunately.
