The characterization of effective stimuli has traditionally been based on a combination of intuition, insights from previous studies, and luck.

The lyrics deal with subjects such as technology, censorship, cyberspace, cloning and robotics. The lyrics are actually her poetry, written ahead of the album. The latest X-Dream album, We Interface, includes vocals from Tennessee (Band) singer Ariel Electron. The trend set by "Radio" continued with the Irritant release on the Global Trance Network label in 2002, solidifying the X-Dream sound as a more electro/techno sound, and sold out all the copies within only a few days of the first printing. The basslines were also harder in many of the tracks, making the music very danceable. In their review of the album described the track "Electromagnetic" as a "robotic orgasm sequence". Instead of complex melodies familiar in prior Goa trance releases the Radio album featured a more industrial, darker, feel where the melody would become apparent only after several listens. In 1998 they released their most celebrated album Radio and two new singles, "Brain Forest" and "Radiohead". They also remixed several tracks for other artists including Koxbox and the Saafi Brothers. Jan began Children of Paradise, also releasing on Blue Room. In 1997 both started experimenting with side projects, Marcus' The Delta project released the single "As A Child I Could Walk On The Ceiling", which became widely played by many top trance DJs including Mark Allen. Working with Blue Room, they released the famous single "The Frog" (featuring authentic frog sound samples from Mexico) and contributed the track "No" on the Trip Through Sound compilation. In October 1996 X-Dream reached an agreement with the new UK trance label Blue Room Released. Two albums followed on Tunnel Records, Trip To Trancesylvania and We Created Our Own Happiness, which were much closer to the original formula of psychedelic trance, although featuring the unmistakable "trippy" early X-Dream sound. From 1993 they began releasing several singles on the Hamburg label Tunnel Records, as X-Dream and under many aliases, such as The Pollinator. Their first work concentrated on a sound similar to techno with some hip hop elements which got some material released on Tunnel Records.ĭuring the early 1990s they were first introduced to the trance scene in Hamburg and decided to switch their music to this genre.

That same year they teamed up to work on a session together. In 1989 the pair first met when Marcus was having problems with his PC and someone sent Jan to help fix it. Maichel was a musician familiar with techno and reggae, and was already making electronic music in 1986.
