Mr. Modo]] label in 1990, with numerous subsequent releases on the [[R&S Records|R&S / Apollo]] labels throughout the following decade. According to [[Philip Sherburne|Philipp Sherburne]], Sun Electric initially released "straight-ahead Frankfurt trance, but by the mid '90s they were masters of elastic rhythms and silvery leads.
