Amid the swamp of music in the 1990s, a lot of good music got overlooked. So did a lot of bad music. Alter Ego seem to be one of those bands who drifted into making awful commercial techno after a while, so they probably cover both sides of the equation.
But, in their early days, they were pretty good - and this piece startlingly so: with a lightness of touch that belied its hidden emotional depths. I first came across it on Trance Europe Express 3, the starting point for my interest in many electronic artists - Biosphere, U Ziq and Mouse on Mars among them. If you've never heard Biosphere's The Third Planet , then give it a listen.
