Aggressive, hair-raising, and unstoppable, 'Trance' caused a sensation when released by Argo (Polygram) in 1995. Icebreaker re-mixed & re-mastered this groundbreaking CD-length work for its re-release on Cantaloupe in conjunction with a Contemporary Music Network Tour across 6 cities in the U.K., plus concert dates in the Netherlands and Germany, which happened in 2004.

"Michael Gordon, co-founder of Bang on a Can and who also featured on Nonesuch ('Light is Calling' & 'Weather') + Cantaloupe ('Decasia'), wrote the 52 Minute 'Trance' for Icebreaker in 1995. Called a minimalist classic by The New York Times, 'Trance' is a kaleidoscope of pan-pipe melodies & provocative rhythms, and features Icebreaker's aggressively virtuosic sound."
