This obscure EP was reviewed by Draeke himself on Discogs almost 6 and a half years ago and while I wasn't as taken with it as he was, I can appreciate it. Anopheles was Frank Meyer and Sam Tyson and they each continued to make music separately, but this was their only release as a project. 95 is almost 20 years ago and this shows it's age a bit. Of course trance 2 decades ago was much different than it is now. It's tribal in nature (regardless of speed) and the percussive touches in Gothic Elevator are appealing. Very entrancing. The midtempo Experience Magic is also a smooth track with soft flute melodies that float above sharp goa stabs.
Not bad.
