Exit Trance presents Aerodynamic Best 2
Release Date: 5/8/09
Price: 1905 yen

I guess Quake have chosen to rebrand the Aerodynamic series as Aerodynamic Best. This is actually the sixth release in the series which, in the past, has mostly featured repeats from the main Quake Trance series.

R25 4Exit Trance presents R25 Speed Anime Trance Best 4 ~Ghibli Edition 2~
Release Date: 5/8/09
Price: 1905 yen

The song selection for this second Ghibli edition of the R25 series is a bit more obscure than before. That’s to be expected, of course, since they already covered the more familiar tunes on the first release.

I wonder if the R25 series will revert back to normal after this release? After all, I can’t imagine there are that many Studio Ghibli songs left to cover.

Exit Trance presents Sagyouyou BGM Trance 2
Release Date: 4/22/09
Price: 1905 yen

Quake have yet to release a tentative track list for this sequel to Sagyouyou BGM Trance, but you can probably expect lots of repeats from the Quake Trance series.

Pre-order at CDJapan.

TranceMaster 03Exit Trance presents TranceMaster 03
Release Date: 4/15/09
Price: 1905 yen

Non-anime trance albums in Japan are almost non-existent now. Trance Paradise, Super Best Trance, Trance Rave Best, and Exit Trance Best are all victims of the end of the trance boom. As such, there are few outlets left for the “golden age” trance artists.

The TranceMaster series remains one of the only places where you can still find new material from the likes of Delaction, DJ Kaya, and Overhead Champion. While TranceMaster 02 was a tad disappointing — far too much psychedelic for my tastes — it’s still good to see the series will continue with familiar names.

Cyber Drift 2Exit Trance presents Cyber Drift 2nd LX Edition
Release Date: 3/18/09
Price: 1905 yen

The follow-up release to Cyber Drift, once again produced by N.O.-SYO. I’m not entirely sure the world needed a second “Drift of the Wind” remix by N.O.-SYO (why not have another artist remix it instead?), but I am looking forward to his take on “AI.”

Gakkou Trance 4Exit Trance presents Gakkou Trance 4 Jigenme
Release Date: 3/18/09
Price: 1905 yen

Well, that’s odd. I fully expected there to be a Trance Master repeat, but Quake chose “Canon” over “Pomp and Circumstance.”

Release Date: 3/18/09
Price: 1905 yen

Darn, “Hatena de Wasshoi” didn’t make it. Everything else that was on the early list did, however.

Exit Trance Best #09Exit Trance Best #09
Release Date: 3/4/09
Price: 1905 yen

Here we go again. More repeats taken from Exit Trance albums released in the past year. That means tons of anime, “Caramelldansen,” and other random songs from their Quake’s various other series. Mixed by DJ Yoshinori.

ETB 09 only has one new song: the DJ Yoshinori remix of “Wake up the world” by La Palma feat. Love Mark. He did a great job with “Summer of Love,” so this new remix is one to look out for.

Kids Trance LandExit Trance presents Kids Trance Land
Release Date: 3/4/09
Price: 1905 yen

Mostly kid’s anime themes, I think. Not terribly interesting, at least for me. What’s up with Ryu* getting more songs on this than Cinema Trance, though?

Cinema TranceExit Trance presents Zenbei No. 1 Cinema Trance
Release Date: 3/4/09
Price: 1905 yen

Cinema Trance looks to be as exciting as expected. Around half of the tracks also appeared on Speed SFX, so one could consider this a sort of spiritual successor.

Ryu* only has a single song, while B.U.S. and MK have three each. I’m strangely intrigued by what MK will do with “Phantom of the Opera.”

Quake will also be using a handful of repeats from European trance artists, which means the lackluster “Neverending Story” and “X-terminate.”

The follow-up release to Cyber Drift, once again produced by N.O.-SYO. The first one was full of incredible rock trance, and the sequel looks to be no different.

Exit Trance presents Gakkou Trance 4 Jigenme
Release Date: 3/18/09
Price: 1905 yen

It seems that the theme of this 4th release in the Gakkou Trance series will be graduation. I wonder if DJ Yoshinori’s “Pomp and Circumstance” will make a repeat appearance?
