专辑介绍
by Jonathan Widran
Long frustrated by the release schedule restraints of conventional labels, electronic new age Renaissance man David Arkenstone joined with his wife, Diane, to create Neo Pacifica, a label releasing a wide variety of creatively diverse expressions. One of the label's highlights is introducing vocalist/keyboardist Diane as a composer and artist in her own right. With David's composing and production assistance, Diane creates what comes across as a continuous, unbroken musical piece, but is actually comprised of eight thoughtful compositions. The promise of trance in the album title might imply that this will be something of a formless musical experience, but all the ethereal effects (which include her whispery, seductive voice chanting like our subconscious) are given a solid musical foundation, complete with drum machine groove and reasonably memorable synth or piano melodies. "World of Light" is an expansive, nine-minute doorway, beginning very atmospherically before developing an R&B/pop edge. "Through the Veil" features David's Celtic-flavored flute and a swirling electronica melody, while "The Water Gardens" mixes inventive electronic percussion patterns with gentle doses of Andy Taylor's fiddle. Diane uses the theme of Aquaria, an undersea fantasy realm, as a framework for what she calls a "journey of groove exploration." All of it comes across as sensual and much more structured than many recordings in this genre offer.

- @ashan：【转贴介绍】AQUARIA是一个幻想中的水下王国的名称，轰动一时的新世纪音乐人物DIANE有着丰富的音乐创作经验和背景，90年代后开始将精力全部转向凯尔特人音乐。 女声于低沉轻柔中缥缈而至，痴入片刻无题，待闻真相显露，忽闻鼓萧四起，沉稳渐进，浑厚刚强里却有怜惜偎依，两者缠绕盘旋直上，悠远渐逝，如坠天际，思绪散落，抽身而望，猛然叹息--如此的完整奇异，如此的醉无边际，无法脱离，音乐悄然沉寂，而人呆坐无语，呵，是忧怨？是惊喜？不.....在这里，不经意的划过自己的每页篇章，每页追忆，而无投入与惊异,独平静.......
