Noosphere

Forming amid Northern Germany’s late-’90s scene, psy-trance duo Noosphere set itself apart by issuing complete albums even as contemporaries confined themselves to 12" singles. The project, built around Niels Paschen and Eberhard Schulz, delivered its first full-length outing, Radiated, through Twisted Records in 1999. Two years later the pair resurfaced with Aqua on Spirit Zone, an effort that incorporated co-production from Marcus Maichel of X-Dream.
