The fifth album in the series is again compiled by Arjan Rietveld, author of it's encyclopaedic companion book, Hypnotised: A Journey Through Trance Music 1990 - 2005. To a significant extent, the American trance scene evolved inside it's own bubble. Ocean-crossing breakout acts were rare, which gave the scene space to develop a distinct sound and identity - one that was driving yet linear, progressive, more tribal, and less focused on the melodic elements that dominated the European landscape. Over time, certain elements of the sound were adapted to suit the unique demands of the legendary U.S. desert raves in Arizona, Nevada, and California. In it's formative years especially, American trance also leaned toward the experimental, which is where 'Hypnotised: A Journey Through American Trance Music' begins it's story. Through one album, nine labels and twenty-seven tracks, 'Hypnotised: America' combines buried treasures with some of the genre's most iconic works. A must for collectors, genre adherents and crate diggers alike. - After previous stop-offs in The Netherlands, Germany, The UK and Belgium, May 2025 finds 'Hypnotised' reaching American shores.
