AMAZING STUFF!

I have listened to a few Union Jack productions for the first time recently, and i thought that they were amazing! Even more so when i look at the year that they were produced.

It is also interesting to note that one of the two members of the group (Simon Berry) was also behind Art Of Trance. The Platipus records connection makes sense now.

Union Jack - Two Full Moons And A Trout - a driving goa/psy track with a very tasty breakdown. I am loving the strings in this track, and the baseline is wicked as well. Certainly very different to the epic trance sound of today.

Union Jack - Morning Glory - this track has a trippy, spacey feel to it. Very interesting sound.

Union Jack - Cockroach - goa/psy trance (yes?). That lead melody is fucking awesome. Killer track that builds nicely.



I haven't been this excited about trance in ages......



I would imagine that their stuff would be very difficult to find on vinyl though, which is a bit of a bummer. Anyone want to sell me some stuff cheaply ??

Check sig. After that, happy hunting for this: http://www.discogs.com/release/12922

I'm not a DJ, so I've just heard their tracks here and there for a while. Like I said, finding their releases nowadays is a royal pain in the ass.

One of the most best known UK Acid/Trance producers of the early to mid 90's. Each and every one of their productions is fantastic stuff:

Also check out:
Union Jack - Cactus
Union Jack - Two Full Moonas & A Trout (Caspar Pound Remix)
Union Jack - Red Herring (Original/Disco Volante Remix)
Mary Kiani - Let The Music Play (Union Uack Remix)

It's all about - Lollypop Man and There will be no armageddon...

I like him because all his tracks are like strange mind journeys that take you drifting along a psychedelic path

The other member of the group is Claudio Giussiani aka Terra Ferma, who also released some great solo stuff back then. Especially the Turtle Crossing album. As with the Union Jack stuff it is extremely difficult to get hold of though.

Well you can get most Union Jack productions and remixes by buying the "Platipus Archive" series and their album "There Will Be No Armageddon" from amazon. If you wanted them on CD that is. No need to "hunt".
