The Colours of Darkness

The 2005 Trance Lucid CD release, The Colours Of Darkness, steps into a new direction and spotlights a previously less visible, heavier segment of the band's music. The music was recorded over a significant period of time - the drums were recorded in 2002, the bass in 2003, the guitar and keyboards, and all of the mixing in 2004. The CD contains three mainstays from the Trance Lucid live repertoire and three songs developed in the studio. The approach in recording was more experimental than in the past, with a focus on emphasizing rock textures. Although the result is a more driving guitar sound and a less jazzy feel, the upright bass is featured prominently on three songs, making for an interesting tonal balance.
