Steve Hillman sin dagli anni 70 sperimentava suoni elettronici con il suo audio generator, influenzato da Tangerine Dream, Hawkwind e Gong continua come tastierista e chitarrista negli anni 80s; poi firma, negli anni 90s, per la Cyclops Records con la quale incide 4 album Prog e Space Rock strumentale.
Questo è il secondo album per la band The Trance Dimensionals, nata dall’incontro tra Steve Hillman e Nik Turner nel 2016, quest’ultimo purtroppo tragicamente scomparso durante la preparazione di questo album che vede sempre la partecipazione di Dave Anderson (Hawkwind, Amon Duul II), Angel Flame (the Crazy World of Arthur Brown) e Mr. Dibs (Spacehead, Krel).
Un altro meraviglioso viaggio nell’universo space di Hawkwind e Gong..
The TRANCE DIMENSIONALS band was formed by English musician Steve Hillman in 2016. Steve had been making electronic sounds with his audio generator since the early 1970’s, when as a teenager he was influenced by Tangerine Dream, Hawkwind and Gong. In the 1980’s, as a keyboard player and guitarist, he was part of the then underground electronic music scene in the UK and in the 1990’s he was signed to the progressive rock music label Cyclops Records who released four albums of his prog and space rock instrumental music.
In 2016 Steve met with the legendary Nik Turner, a founder member of the space rock group Hawkwind, and they discussed working on an album together. This is the second album of the Trance Dimensionals, but sadly Nik Turner passed away during the making of this album always with Dave Anderson (Hawkwind, Amon Duul II), Angel Flame (The Crazy World of Arthur Brown) and Mr. Dibs (Spacehead, Krel)
