A spoken introduction to my own introduction to psychedelic trance in Tokyo in 1994, the second of several podcasts that will explore the underground scene as it was evolving at the time and my experiences at this formative events and with some of the key producers and performers.

This second episode discusses the afterglow of my first mindblowing experiences at hearing this music and moves into the first time I heard Tsuyoshi Suzuki (in November 1994), the first CD I bought a few weeks later, the first mixtape I received, and the first Space Tribe clothing I bought... which came along with an introductory discussion about this scene from someone internationally active in it. Included in this presentation are a few representative tracks from the period.
