Trance Mission creates powerful electro-tribal ambience with a variety of standard, traditional, and eclectic devices. Meanwhile, their second CD, is a collection of tribal atmospheres forged with respect and passion. Stephen Kent, Kenneth Newby, Beth Custer, and John Loose are constantly on the same page. They impact the respect and reflect the passion. It is all done with varying degrees of urgency. Kent’s didg creates the drone from which Newby’s atmospheres arise. Custer’s reeds flow through the aura and Loose’s percussion keeps it together. The soundscape is full and the band and their guests work it accordingly. This is a unique effort and a mark of greatness. ~ Jim Brenholts, Rovi
