Union Jack - Two Full Moons & A Trout Review by Universe Jan 19, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)

referencing Two Full Moons & A Trout, 2x12", RSN 81

Which ever mix you listen to, there is no denying that not only is this one of the all time trance classics, but possibly more than any other track it will silence even the most hardened trance cynic.

The original is a lush journey deep into a rainforest with the sound of tribal drums and tropical animals setting the scene. This is interspersed with ethereal wailing and profound soundscapes. This builds for several minutes as it takes the listener deeper into the jungle until it all comes crashing to a halt and the most epic new age film score type break before soothing itself out. Imagine yourself several days into a jungle on a quest to find a long lost civilisation, knowing you are close and frantically quickening your pace. However at the moment your goal finally unveils itself to you, you realise that the jungle tribe was lying in wait for you all along and you will form the main sacrifice to appease the angry gods!

Amazingly by taking it down an even more epic route, the Casper Pound manages to actually improve on the original. Here the emphasis is on ponderous singular piano keys and a more striped down production that makes greater use of the wailing vocals to chilling effect. This final minute or so is really what elevates this mix to legendary status. You'll need to hold onto something that is securely bolted down or risk being blown away by a whirlwind. Then suddenly the track just stops dead. The best comparison for the Casper Pound remix in terms of effect is Jam & Spoons 'Follow Me'.

So many years on, none of the mixes here have dated at all, and probably will never do so. The very best music is always timeless.

Union Jack - Two Full Moons & A Trout Review by MrFonktrain Jul 18, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)

referencing Two Full Moons & A Trout, 2x12", RSN 81

the remix by Caspar Pound is such a powerful epic, that it keeps on sending shivers down your spine the whole 12 minutes long. The original mix pales beside this masterpiece with loads of breaks, devastating drums and a continuous, unequalled build-up.

Union Jack - Two Full Moons & A Trout (Remixes) Review by Trancenik May 22, 2002

referencing Two Full Moons & A Trout (Remixes), 12", PLAT42

Der Casper Pound Remix ist einer der besten Tracks. Der Aufbau ist fantastisch, anfangs noch etwas langweilig, dann immer mitreisender und in einem wahren Orgasmus endend. ssaint@bluemail.ch

Union Jack - Two Full Moons & A Trout (Remixes) Review by spectrum May 13, 2002

referencing Two Full Moons & A Trout (Remixes), 12", PLAT42

This was also released on Rising High Records as a double pack 12" and CD in 1994. It was re-released again on Platipus in 1998. Caspar Pound turns this track into something of a masterpiece. Union Jack themselves were very impressed with this remix. Unfortunatly collaborative projects between Rising High Records and Platipus ended following Red Herring (aledgedly Rising High were in debt and owed Platipus some money!).
