Review by Lisa Marie Mercer

X Ray Trance Essential Selection: A Polish Time Capsule That’ll Mess With Your Brain (In a Good Way) Let’s talk about X Ray Trance Essential Selection, the 2000 gem from Poland that screams “we made this on a shoestring budget but still crushed it.” Released by Tic Tac (yes, like the mints), this album is a wild ride through Progressive House and Progressive Trance vibes. It’s not perfect—heck, some tracks sound like they were recorded in someone’s garage—but dang if it doesn’t slap in all the right places. Now, let’s dive into two standout tracks that’ll stick to your brain like gum under a chair. First up, “China Vibes.” This one hits you with an eerie flute loop that feels like walking through a foggy forest while being chased by ninjas. Or maybe that’s just me? Anyway, the beat builds slow, teasing you until BAM—it drops harder than your phone after a night out. The whole thing has this mystical-meets-clubby vibe that makes you wanna both meditate AND fist-pump at the same time. Weird combo, I know, but somehow it works. Then there’s “Millenium Crash” (sic—they spelled millennium wrong, bless ‘em). If China Vibes is zen chaos, this track is straight-up apocalyptic raving. Imagine robots throwing a rave in a dystopian future where humans are no longer invited. The synths screech like alarms, and the bassline pounds like your neighbor complaining about said rave. Yet somehow, it’s oddly satisfying. You can tell whoever made this was having way too much fun experimenting with knobs and buttons. The rest of the album keeps things interesting, though not every track lands perfectly. Songs like “Psalm 36/6” and “Pouring Love” lean more chill, giving you moments to catch your breath between all the bangers. Meanwhile, “Dirty Organ” lives up to its name—it’s sleazy, funky, and kinda gross in the best possible way. Looking back, X Ray Trance Essential Selection isn’t gonna win any Grammys, but who cares? It’s raw, unfiltered, and dripping with personality. Sure, it sounds a little dated now—like those neon windbreakers everyone thought were cool in 2000—but isn’t that part of its charm? Final thought: Listening to this album feels like finding an old mixtape at a thrift store. It’s messy, nostalgic, and full of surprises. And honestly, isn’t life better when things aren’t polished to perfection? Now excuse me while I go find my glow sticks…
