Trance

The earliest musical entity begun by Mason was called Trance. Starting in 1987, recordings under the name Trance were released on a number of small-edition cassettes, followed by CDs and singles. As a live venture, Trance included other participants over the years, including The Evolution Control Committee, and many more.
The name "Trance" was retired after the word became inextricably intertwined with bad electronic music.
