Trance To The Sun features the dreamy and compelling sounds of musical landscaper extraordinaire Ashkelon Sain, with a guided tour by sublime vocalist Zoe Alexandra Wakefield. Their extensive, at times bizarre songs cover tremendous ground while retaining a unique darkness and a mysterious ambiance.
Trance To The Sun began in 1989 as Ashkelon’s instrumental recording project, yielding in 1990 the self-produced “Volcano”, an album far ahead of its time. 1994 saw the signing of the band to TESS RECORDS. With the worldwide release of “Ghost Forest” came the recognition of Zoe Wakefield as a profoundly inspiring new voice in the ambient music realm, being hailed even as the “New Queen of the Twilight” by the Italian music press.
Fresh from the recording studio with a wealth of new material, Trance To The Sun toured the U.S. in support of their second CD entitled “Bloom Flowers, Bloom!” The ten new album tracks and a handful of compilation outtakes that year demonstrated a major leap in the group’s ability to chillingly and understatedly convey their haunting aesthetic.
“Bloom” was followed quickly by the landmark “Venomous Eve” album the same year on A.Sain’s new homespun label Ambulancia. “Venomous” featured the contributions of two then-new members, Lucian S. Donato on synthesizers and Anna Schott on violin, and drew critical acclaim across the board for it’s “Knight-like stealth and elegance”(alternative press). All in all, it was a remarkable output of music and performance for just two short years.

I agree with the last post. I think TTTS really had their own unique sound and even style of music; most bands couldn't quite give you that same feel as their music did.

after listening the album i've mentioned below and azalean sea now i can say this band has nothing to do with those similar artists. they sound more like attrition who are industrial, electronic and whatever.

I'm so gutted that my ex stole my Trance to the Sun CDs. I interviewed them years ago for my fanzine - such wonderful people and music
