Morning Trip

Piet Blank and Jaspa Jones are a production and DJ duo who played a significant role in the late-'90s commercialization of trance, though they went on to be known as much for their remixes and eclectic downtempo material. They crossed paths at a Popkomm trade show and debuted years later, in 1997, with "Sunrise." The same year, under one of their aliases, Da Bomb, they also carried out their first high-profile remix via Moby's "re-version" of "James Bond Theme." In 1999, the duo made commercial and overseas breakthroughs with the more forceful but just as melodic "Cream," a number 24 U.K. pop hit created with long-term collaborator Andy Kaufhold. The same year brought In da Mix, their first album, a continuous set of their own tracks.

Good Morning Nowhere was recorded back in 1993 on a used Fostex cassette recorder that was held together with spit and rubber bands. The 4-track masters were recently discovered in a garage, inside a cobwebbed-cardboard box with an inch of dust preserving its contents. After 23 years, this fine Zane Drake album is finally seeing the light of day. These recordings are pretty stripped-down folks, just acoustic guitars and vocals, with a few embellishments here and there. No fancy studio gear or expensive microphones were available at the time, but that doesn’t take away from the beauty of Zane’s songs. Poignant and passionate music that gets its point across with minimal production, you can’t help but believe and feel every word he’s singing.
