"Chilled out Euphoria Digitally Mixed by Solar Stone
What is this album about? A group of weary clubbers scattered around someone's living room or a friendly mid-week social with plenty of herbal remedies... The moment you realise that everyone has slipped into the track that you are listening to and that you all have goosebumps... Those achingly beautiful pieces of music that send tingles down your arms without a snare roll in sight.
This album is a montage of music from the soul, regardless of genre. A soundtrack that spans artists from the last twenty-five years, some of whom are no longer with us and some who are currently shaping the future of music in their own laid-back way. Some are head-nodders, some are breath-holders, but all share a common element - a charge of emotion. The Beloved "Spacemen", a virtually unknown track featured on their "X" album which some people described as being a buried treasure. Banco De Gaia "Touching The Void" provides one of the most notable euphoric moments on the whole album as it powers away from Ofra Haza's "Love Song" which sets this moment up complementing the intro so exquisitely. The Future Sound Of London "Papua New Guinea" my well have appeared on a few albums but never in this form. The original version is probably up there with Orbital's "Belfast" in terms of classics but this version is a little more ambient building to something quite dubby yet still retaining the musical integrity of the original. Libra "Calling Your Name" is the track on which most people heard the voice of Jan Johnston for the first time. The original was produced by B.T. A producer who is now recognised as one of the industry's finest and a constant influence for Solar Stone. The Solar Stone remix was inspired by groups such as Pink Floyd and Tangerine Dream, two acts who undoubtedly inspired quite a few of the artists who feature on this album.
One of the biggest records in clubland at this very moment of writing is Tall Paul vs INXS "Precious Heart". Larry Lush, Tall Paul's producer, provides the ambient re-working of the original and one of the best remixes on the album.
The remaining tracks are all compiled by Solar Stone, who although not yet a "household name" have been responsible for many a big club track or remix over the last 5 years. Always firm believers in quality ang longevity as opposed to "flavour of the month" hype, which probably explains why they've been successfully producing for such a long time. And, at the time of writing are still very much in-demand..."

Now, in its third year, the evermore-established origin-trance series marshals–up for its regular end-of-Oct release spot. Following co-mix tenures by Orkidea, and last year Giuseppe Ottaviani, in 2014 it’s younger-gun Bryan Kearney who joins Solarstone at the controls. In the search of the P.T. chosen, they’ve forensically slid 1000s of tracks under the Pure microscope, finally identifying 37 of the most exclusive uncorrupted and virtuous trance tracks out there. Big name productions passing the clarity check include music from the desks of Aly & Fila, Alex M.O.R.P.H., Thrillseekers, Sied van Riel, John O’Callaghan, Arctic Moon and Ferry Tayle, as well as much from Solarstone & Bryan themselves. As is Pure Trance covenant, the album is as much about the ‘future-perfect’ producers as it is ’present day’ legends. In that, it brings music from dozens of nu-bloods: Sneijder, Will Atkinson, Adam Ellis, Standerwick, The Noble Six and Liam Wilson among them.
