The Trance Europe Express compilation continues to feed my head musically. Funnily, another trainee teacher on my PGCE course lent me the cd back in 1993, at a time when I didn't even own a cd player. I happily borrowed his cd, read the booklet from front to back and back again and then returned it without being able to listen to any of the tracks. I didn't buy Trance Europe Express until I'd bought a cd player, some time in 1996 or '97, when I found it second hand and then had the joy of listening to all the tracks.
From disc 1, this is a driving, thumping piece of progressive house (with a dash of trance). Scubadevils were Andy Ellison, Pete Latham and David Holmes. There was another version of this track, the Angel Delight mix, which appeared on a 12" single (split with another Holmes alias Death Before Disco) but I don't have that- and this is more than good enough on its own anyway. When I re-found the Trance Europe Express cd last weekend and pressed play, this track made me almost giddy with excitement as it played. A proper dance floor filler.
Celestial Symphony
It is a great track SA.

Was there not an interview with Weatherall in the booklet? Min’s has long since disappeared as it was the wrong shape and size to file with the vinyl.
