A2L, the collaborative project of Alan Lane and Richie Stevens, emerged in the late 1980s UK underground scene, blending psychedelic house with elements of machine funk, new beat, industrial, and EBM. Their 1989 collection, "The Sound Collides With Colour And Shadows Explode," captures the raw energy of the era's rave culture. Standout tracks like "Even Though It's Make Believe" and "Come On" showcase their innovative fusion of trippy, mind-expanding sounds with the burgeoning acid house movement.
