It's about damn time:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Trance-And-Danc ... ins+trance

It's been available on iTunes, remastered from original tapes, in most countries OTHER THAN the U.S. This is my favorite album by them. I can listen to it from start to finish.

I've got the CD and am fairly pleased with it. It is all from master tapes, and the transfer is very clear. It is brickwalled a bit, however not to a total destructive level. It's remastered by the same person (I'm pretty sure?) that did 'This is the Ice Age' and 'Danseparc' as well, so if you were satisfied with those, you will be satisfied with this.

The booklet is also nice with a brief retrospect on the album by Mark Gane, song lyrics and a basic UK discography. Overall, it's a really good purchase and highly recommended.

Agreed. This is probably the M + M album I am least familiar with, and I'm enjoying getting re-acquainted with it

I recently had a short conversation with Mark Gane and he tells me that "Was Ezo" was most likely based on a National Geographic article they had read.
As the lyrics say "Hokkaido was Ezo". Hokkaido is the most northern of the large islands of Japan, and was formerly called Ezo or Yesso. It's known for its very cold winters, and is mostly undeveloped. I've been a few times and it is stunningly beautiful.

Sugoi !!!
