From goa trance to downtempo and breakbeats, this compilation features two carefully selected tracks from the archives of the Italian independent label *HOLISTIC RECORDINGS*, which was in full swing throughout the ’90s and pursued a free-form approach to music! CORRUGATED SILENCE’s “Elevate” (sample 1)—a psychedelic trance-techno track that creates multi-layered textures with voice samples sliced up by a slicer, synth refrains, and percussion—runs for over 13 minutes and features a powerful progression that even includes a precise beatless section midway through. THUNDERHEAD’s “Golden Eyed” (sample 2), a progressive techno track with acid-infused elements, is also a 10-minute-plus, mind-expanding journey. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
