After previous stop-offs in The Netherlands, Germany, the UK and Belgium, this month finds ‘Hypnotised’ - the country-by-country-hopping history of trance music - reaching American shores. There, it explores one of the genre’s lesser-told tales. The fifth album in the series is again compiled by Arjan Rietveld, author of its encyclopaedic companion book, Hypnotised: A Journey Through Trance Music 1990 – 2005.
