Scientific approaches and theories, different philosophical views, theistic beliefs, spiritual and mystical revelations gave a mankind many meanings, but this question still exists. Vertigo Records offers you one more answer. A psy-trance one! This compilation contains five explosive tracks and five brilliant remixes made by world known artists like Ocelot, Naked Tourist, Neuron Compost, Terminator. Of course, we are keeping the label's tradition and have invited some newcomers - Optical Human vs Tsabeat from Israel and Whoop - a solo project by Vladimir Kataev (former Furious participant). "The Meaning of Life" - is our vision of the underground psy-trance at present moment. It's like an essence of Vertigo's musical tastes, our energy and a direction for future development.

Umberloid - Neon Tetra VA - 13th Moon: Journey Into Future Consciousness (Interchill Records)

IMHO the trademark Etnica/Pleiadians sound ended in 1999 with the exit of Andrea Rizzo and Carlo Paternò. I don't know why Max and Mauri still insist on using the Pleiadians name? I don't expect this to be anything like their pre '99 releases as any comparisions will only be dissapointing.
