SLIDE - Unstable (NEW LINK!)

SLIDE - Unstable (1998)


Original Post February 17, 2008: This album marks a period in which the organic, ethereal sounds and vibes of Goa trance began to evolve into something a bit darker and more sinister, with a more electric, computerized sound. This was the birth of that separation; the birth of psychedelic trance.

Released in 1998 by Transient Records, this futuristic, squelchy and brain-scrambling album is a must-have for any fan of electronic music.


1. Unobtanium (Dirty Angels Edit) (141 bpm)
