Greater than the sum of its parts

"When I first got TEX 3 a decade ago, I found a few songs that instantly grabbed me, copied them onto tapes and put the CDs back on the shelf. Recently, while loading my CD collection onto my computer, I listened to this with fresh ears, and discovered that the tracks I had once neglected were just as good as the rest and that each CD was best played start to finish, without picking and choosing particular cuts. Still hypnotic and trance-inducing, after all these years.

1. Air Liquide - Chromoplastic
2. 808 State - Mondonet
3. Banco de Gaia - Kincajou

Disk Two:
1. Mouse on Mars - Maus Mobil

8. The Grid - Big Foot
9. Alter Ego - Sex and Gender
10. Biosphere - The Third Planet
11. Infinity (Juan Atkins) - I-94
12. Eddie 'Flashin'' Fowlkes - Track 4
13. Emergency Broadcast Network - 3:78"
One of my all time favorites...

"There's just something about disk one of this double CD: the first nine tracks flow together in a most stimulating and hypnotic way (by Air Liquide, 808 State, Bando de Gaia, et al). I own a huge stack of Trance collections, including others from the Volume label (volumes 1 and 2, Breakbeat Science, etc.), but I've never found anything that switches me on like disk one of this set. Highly recommended."
