During the Summer of 1998, a tour to promote Andy Powell’s foray into the world of dance music Trance Visionary was scheduled, taking in dates at several prestigious UK venues. The Trance Visionary tour sounded an exciting concept, if not exactly one which met with the average Wishbone Ash fan’s approval. The show would be in two parts, one featuring an augmented Wishbone Ash line-up featuring Mike Bennett on keyboards and guest vocalist Tayce, performing music based around the Trance Visionary album. The second part would feature a traditional Wishbone Ash set performed by the four-piece band. The bill would also feature several dance DJ’s.
Various complications, not least of all disappointing ticket sales, resulted in the tour being curtailed after just one London date at Camden Palace, but the Trance Visionary saga was not over yet. Following the cancellation of the tour, Andy Powell and Mike Bennett decided to record the music as it would have been experienced live. Bennett, Powell, the entire Wishbone Ash band (Powell, Mark Birch, Ray Weston, Bob Skeat) plus vocalist Tayce entered Far Heath Studios, Northamptonshire during August 1998 to record Psychic Terrorism – the ‘live’ sequel to Trance Visionary and an altogether rockier variation on the Trance Visionary album’s themes, with a heavier emphasis on guitars and live instrumentation.
