While browsing Youtube for interesting trance-related content I came across this excellent music video for Lost In Translation by the genre-defying New Zealand group Pitch Black. The song is taken from their album Ape To Angel, originally released in 2004. The video is quite tasteful—unlike a lot of the rubbish that floats around the trance scene. I really like the distinctive visual aesthetic in use here—it meshes well with the music and shows the producers in action but doesn’t overdo anything. Flash is required to view this video:

While we’re on the subject, don’t miss out on Pitch Black’s latest album Rude Mechanicals; it has been in regular rotation around here for months now and shows no sign of losing its lustre. I hope to get to a full review soon, but the short version is that I heartily recommend it for anyone seeking something a little different from the norm. They’ve also got a video out for the title track, but this one might be a little more inaccessible for trance fans than Lost In Translation. Check it out if you’re up for some deep dubby rhythms and ecologically conscious lyrics.
