Professor Trance & The Energizers
Shaman's Breath
A fundamental trance dance CD created by Frank Natale, Wilbert Alix and other key trance dance musicians. Just put this one on and dance away!
Medicine Trance
Medicine Trance consists of two discs of very long trance dance tracks created by Professor Trance. They are based on healing and other ritual dances of indigenous cultures worldwide. These tracks of up to 30 minutes are used sparingly behind the bandana. Very powerful.
Dance Your Animal
The latest trance dance offering from Professor Trance. Dancing your animal is a powerful shamanic healing ritual in which the dancer is free to explore the inner landscape of their consciousness. Through TranceDancing your animal dancers invite the spiritual power of the creature to visit and guide their lives. Liner notes explain the Natale TranceDance technique and our relationships with a variety of animals from alligators to whales.
Om - Bilateral Alignment
Three cut CD based on the vibrant Om sound. It is used as the background sound for Trance Dance.

Compilation of newer and earlier work, some remixed. Pretty exciting resource material for TranceDances.
