Carrying on from Part 1 I've served up a mix of trancier and deeper tunes..Leftfield bucked the trend of hands in the air anthems and came up with a sound that was deeper and more serious.  There were no pianos and the sounds relied less on melodies and more on soundscapes.  The beats were tougher and more underground and were played to a more discerning crowd.  It was more about the journey and less about the 'pop' sound. 
Sasha and Digweed took this idea to a never before heard or seen level and pummelled crowds into submission on the dancefloors at Renaissance parties and Digweeds own Bedrock nights..The American producer BT took this sound  into epic proportions with tunes that lasted up to 12 minutes long.   I have mixed a selection of these tunes to coin a phrase, go on a journey..There really is some epic sh@t here..Also included are many brilliant vocals that opened the doors to most trance of the last 10 years.
