new release with never before released early 90's produced tracks by Alex Silvi aka Alien Signal! super sincere soulful Trance... 'Jupiter Come' is my personal pick: 7.5/10

Alex Silvi also known as Alien Signal is an Italian composer who tasted profoundly the creation and evolution of electronic dance music. He grew his music interest during the late 80s in Belgium under the strong ascendancy of key venues such as La Rocca, Boccaccio, and Fuse. Consequently moving to Rome in the early 90s where the techno scene was flourishing. In 1992 released on Upland Recordings, managed by S.Paganelli author of Defcon 5 And Altitude, the album "Alien Signal" - "The Search Begins" including the track called "Atomic", which very soon became one of the anthems for the Roman techno hood of that time. Superluminal Recordings is honored to guide you through trance-progressive themes of evangelic nostalgia. "Circularity" induces inner meditation due to melancholic strings and slow-descending ethereal scenarios, fresh-tasting melodies blended into soft-decaying instrumental charm. All compositions have been re-collected from an early 90s Alien Signal archive.

Not bad. Enjoy them but dont stand out to me so much. Sound design is lovely. So they are old tracks that never got released but now see the light of day (if I understand the description properly?)

Wouldn't really call these Trance personally. Maybe Uranus could be at a push, but the BPM is extremely low. Jupiter Come and Souvien is def House music more than anything.

Nebula III my pick.

maybe you have not experienced early Trance releases so much, here this compilation is a great gate to the early shots, another track from 'Alien Signal' called 'Deep Sky Delights' from 1993 is also included:

Before trance became rigidly defined in the late 1990s, the term was more loosely used as a descriptor, with the tag variously being attached to tracks that combined elements of techno, ambient, breakbeat, deep house, electronica, progressive house, acid, tribal and new beat. What unified these disparate musical strands was an emphasis on groove, melody, atmosphere and – more often than not – psychedelic intent.
