A PRODUCE
Land of a Thousand Trances (Special 2-CD Edition)
(c) (p) 2007 Trance Port Special Editions

When a train of recollections surges over
Once more you’ll  realize
This world to be a desert.

“Land of a Thousand Trances” is the music of total loneliness. You listen to the album and realize how the scales of insubstantial hopes fall from your eyes. You are tete-a-tete with yourself and only gleams of the past are dancing on the walls. And while being in such a retirement you start sensing yourself which you are in reality.

A clarity and laconic brevity of expression inhere in the music of A Produce. And moreover there is something like a bareness in it that is drawing a listener into its yawning black crater and carrying him away to obscurity where it turns out that this fathomless world is you yourself and you realize how you are enlarging together with it. But you do not dissolve, not disappear and you suddenly start crystallizing. You become aware of yourself, of your wishes and of endless solitude in this world. But this perception does not cause a discomfort, it creates sureness and protectability because you have a sensation of your real genuineness. And you can, without appreciation, see the world as such as it exists in reality.

A double album “Land of a Thousand Trances” is not only a re-mastered special edition of the original album issued in 1994 but it represents a collection of unpublished compositions which can be found on the second disc. More than this, the concert versions of two most popular compositions “Heart of the Dunes” and “The Dreaming Room” are added to the first disc.

From the point of view of the style the music of the album can be characterized in different ways but the most exact term for it will be the trance music. It creates absolutely unique surroundings and, having been plunged into it, you start seeing the world which would seem long-known to you, quite in a new fashion.  And furthermore there is a sensation of freshness in this music.

“Land of a Thousand Trances” can be called a long-awaited re-edition as far as we do not often have a chance to hear so much intimate music as that one which is created by A Produce.

What else can be said about this album? This is a work of great talent indeed.

In spaceward abyss
And in rustles of the desert
There is entire world…
