What can be said about Acen's legendary Trip II The Moon that hasn't already been said? 

It's a legendary tune, widely considered one of the best ever made. Arguments over which version is the best regularly almost come to blows. It charted for four weeks in the UK Top 40 (and unlike certain digital store charts where you only need to sell a couple dozen units to place high, that's a chart that means something). It influenced countless producers across innumerable genres over the years, from bedroom producers who never took the step to let people hear their material clear through to the absolute biggest names in music today. 

Even calling it legendary is doing it a disservice. There isn't a word in ANY language for how important Trip II The Moon in all its parts is to electronic music. Even now, doing this write-up, I feel like I'm not saying enough about it. I'm not sure I ever could. You could write a book, heck, a SERIES of books, on how it influenced electronic music in the many years since the first part came out in 1992, and still not cover it all. 

A bit of a personal story (hi everyone, Saiyan here, I do all the uploading on this account), I have a friend named Acen, whose parents named him that BECAUSE OF THIS TRACK. He's a good dude, by the way. Hi Acen, congratulations you've been immortalized in a Soundcloud write-up lol 

I could spend the next week touching on the importance of Trip II The Moon to music, but by then the boxed set would be up for preorder and I still wouldn't have posted these clips, so let's just call it here and get to the reason you're all here.

So here it is, perhaps the biggest release in Kniteforce history, the Acen - Trip II The Moon boxed set. Five vinyls, comprising all of the original versions and their b-sides, all lovingly remastered by CLSM, a host of new remixes by names like Danny Byrd, Pete Cannon, NRG, Scott Brown, Phuture Assassins, and more!

One entire vinyl is devoted to entirely new versions from Acen himself: Trip II The Moon 2092, Obsessed 2092 (Bite The Dust), Life and Crimes of A Ruffneck 2092, and an entirely new track called Rings Around The Moon (which I absolutely adore).

Oh, apologies, did I say five vinyls? Yeah about that, it's actually six. There's a sixth bonus COLOURED vinyl, featuring the previously unreleased dubplate mix of Trip II The Moon Part 2, the Omar Santana remix (which came to be known unofficially as Trip II The Moon Part 4), the D-Bridges Desire Mix of Obsessed, and something you don't see every day: Luna-C's infamous Rip To The Loon, upgraded to official remix status and pressed to vinyl for the very first time.

And that's STILL not all. The boxed set also includes a bonus CD with even more additional remixes (no clips for those, they're a surprise), AND a slipmat.

To be completely clear, the sixth bonus vinyl, the CD, and the slipmat are bonus items, only available to those who preorder through the Kniteforce website. If you don't snag a preorder, there is no guarantee that any of those items will still be available when we put any remaining copies up for general sale. If you want them (and you do), you HAVE to snag a preorder.

The Acen - Trip II The Moon boxed set goes up for preorder on MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH, exclusively through http://kniteforcerevolution.com 

Due to how potentially huge this release could be, we have decided to place our final order according to preorder numbers, so as long as you get an order in during the preorder window, you will get one. Preorders are expected to run until early December, so you have some time to avoid missing out.

One more time, preorders begin Monday, November 16th exclusively through http://kniteforcerevolution.com and will run through to early December.
