Hi Tristan,

i would like to inform you about the Trancers Guide to the Galaxy 2005
CD

The Trancers Guide to the Galaxy is a travel guide for Trancers
published by mushroom magazine and Chaishop.com. It has been first published
in spring 2004 and is now going into it's second edition. The magazine
is in english and 25,000 copies will be spread around the world. You can
find further information at http://www.trancersguide.com

Additionally to the Trancers Guide 2005 Magazine we're planning a
Double-CD release. The CD will be distributed via the normal channels (CD
Shops etc.) and should reflect the Idea of the Trancers Guide in the
musical sense - it should give an overview of current Trance Music from all
around the world. The CD will contain the Magazine but the magazine
will also be avaiable without the CD.

We're currently looking for music for this CD. So if you know any
artist that might be interested in participating with a track then please
make him send this track until January 15 (arrival date) to one of the
addresses below. Please note that tracks arriving after this date can not
be considered.

There will be one track per Country and the "Artist of the Country"
will be presented on the relevant magazine country page with an interview
or profile. This is really good promotion - the artist will represent
trance music from his country!

Furthermore we're thinking about organising Trancers Guide Parties that
should include Artists from the CD.

Please only send tracks of highest quality! Please question if the
track is ready for a release in this scale. We want to produce a
Compilation that reflects the current trance music world in all the aspects and
quality.
