Review: Graham delivers his annual state of the trance nation address and it's far removed from the glowstick-led buffoonery of mainstream EDM iterations of the sound. If anything, this collection has a closer connection to techno than tie-dye melodies. Solid Stone, one of Graham's favourite acts, appear a number of times here and impress most with the billowing chords and snaking pulses of "Absolute" and the floaty, icy synths of "Blink". Elsewhere, Graham shows his progressive house roots with the excellent tough drums and insistent filters of Chicola & Sahar Z's " They Made Me Do It" and veers into tougher techno territories on the pummelling tribal rhythm of Alex Di Stefano 's "Black Panther ".
