TILT were signed by Paul Oakenfold to Perfecto/Warner Music, and in 1996 they had their first UK top 40 hit with 'I Dream'. More big tracks followed including 'My Spirit' and 'Places'. In 1998 they moved record label to Red Jerry's brilliant Hooj Choons and more hit singles followed. 'Invisible' (featuring the vocal talents of Dom Atkins AKA Grace) was a top twenty hit, and 'Rendezvous' and 'The Seduction Of Orpheus' (a favorite of Danny Tenaglia) were massively influential tracks which moved the progressive/trance-dominated house scene into previously uncharted, darker territory. TILT had become a major force in the international dance music revolution - with their tribal drums, booming bass-lines and unforgettable melodies, they blurred the boundaries between house and trance and supplied millions of dance music lovers worldwide with the soundtrack to their weekend.

CD 1
To kick off the album we have 'Places (7" Mix)', a landmark track that was released back in 1997 on Perfecto to critical acclaim. It's an epic, melody driven trance record with John Graham's powerhouse vocals at the helm. Next, we have the Radio Edit of 'Spirit', also on Perfecto, a typically momentous vocal track from the group back in 1996, wrapped up in a silky 3min 30sec pop format. 1998's 'Butterfly (Radio Edit)' is up next. Another Perfecto gem, 'Butterfly' is 90's euphoric trance at it's best with building arpeggios and a bounding bass line. 1999's 'I Dream (Tilt's Resurrection Mix)' sees the group arrive on Hooj Tunes. Initiated with harder bongo-led polyrhythms and darker melodies and bass, this was a DJ staple right through to the early 00's.
Next up we have 'Invisible (Original Vocal Edit)', also on Hooj in the same year. It's part of quite possibly one of the rarest progressive trance records in existence. It's an opulent, crystalline track with a great hook and vocal line. To follow, we have 'Seduction Of Orpheus (Tilt Mythology Mix)'. Part of the 'Dark Science EP' released on Hooj in 1999, this version is part Sci-fi epic, part melencholic prog with the use of tribal drum-march samples, dissonant synths and spoken dialogue in the intro.
2007's 'Angry Skies (Tilts Reactivation Mix)' is part of Tilt's early releases on Lost Language. By this time, production techniques had progressed greatly and this was reflected in this delirious trance stomper. 'The World Doesn’t Know (Original)' backtracks to 2004 on Lost Language. Tilt showcase their trademark use of melodies and epic euphoria on this absolute Trance classic. Next we have Tilts Duodecim Edit of 'Twelve', also on Lost Language in 2004. Considered by many as a timeless classic, 'Twelve' is a perfectly executed, perfectly formed progressive masterpiece.
'New Day', released back in 2005 as the penultimate track to their album 'Explorer', utilises a more singer-songwriter approach to the Tilt sound with the use of guitars and subtle strings under a mellifluous female vocal. 2012's 'Your Love (Tilt Sacred Heart Mix)' see's collaborator Danny Stubbs step up to production duties with Sam Mollison on vocals, creating a bold prog track that reinstated Tilt as major players in the Trance world. to finish the CD, we have the original version of 'Can You Feel It,' a massive arp-driven vocal track that's often overlooked.
For digital buyers only, we have a few more exclusive tricks up our sleeve. Released in 2011 as part of 'The Century EP', 'No Other Day (Sergey Tkachev Remix)' is a propulsive, even slightly melancholic prog groover on Lost Language. As a special extra, Tilt have put together a 20th year anniversary DJ mix for your listening pleasure. Plug in, turn it up, and journey off into progressive heaven.
