Tech trance, también conocido como techno-trance o techno/trance, es un subgénero dentro de la EDM que utiliza elementos techno y trance como sugiere el nombre. Tech trance estuvo iniciado por, entre otros, Oliver Lieb hacia 1994. Otros ejemplos tempranos de tech trance son Humate, Chris Cowie y Marmion. Durante varios años permaneció a la sombra del Hard trance, una fusión del tech trance con el Hard Acid trance.
Melanie y Shaznay comenzaron su carrera musical cantando como coros en el ZTT Recording Studios en All Saints Road, Londres. En 1993, Melanie, Shaznay, y la tercera miembro original llamada Simone Rainford decidieron formar un grupo musical y grabar un disco juntas. Según Simone, pensaron en llamarle al grupo Spice, pero pero decidieron que eso no era buena idea, y decidieron llamarse All Saints 1.9.7.5., nombre de la calle donde se conocieron y el año de sus nacimientos. Fueron contratadas por ZTT Records UK.
En 1994, All Saints 1.9.7.5. actuaron por primera vez en el Touch Magazine en el Notting Hill Carnival. Las tres grabaron tres canciones, pero fracasaron. Además, Melanie y Simone tuvieron conflictos en cuanto a la dirección del grupo que causó serias tensiones en la banda.
A few questions that I need to know
How you could ever hurt me so
I need to know what I've done wrong
And how long it's been going on
Was it that I never paid enough attention?
Or did I not give enough affection?
Not only will your answers keep me safe
But I'll know never to make the same mistake again
You can tell me to my face
Or even on the phone
You can write it in a letter
Either way I have to know
Did I never treat you right?
Did I always start the fight?
Either way I'm going out of my mind
All the answers to my questions I have to find
My head's spinning
Boy, I'm in a daze
I feel isolated
Don't want to communicate
I take a shower
I will scour, I will roam
To find peace of mind
The happy mind I once owned
Yeah
Flexing vocabulary runs right through me
The alphabet runs right from A to Z
Conversations, hesitations in my mind
You got my conscience asking questions that I can't find
I'm not crazy
I'm sure I ain't done nothing wrong, no
I'm just waiting
'Cause I heard that this feeling won't last that long
Never ever have I ever felt so low
When you gonna take me out of this black hole?
Never ever have I ever felt so sad
The way I'm feeling, yeah, you got me feeling really bad
Never ever have I had to find
I've had to dig away to find my own piece of mind
I've never ever had my conscience to fight
The way I'm feeling, yeah, it just don't feel right
I'll keep searching
Deep within my soul
For all the answers
Don't want to hurt no more
I need peace, got to feel at ease
Need to be free from pain
Going insane
My heart aches
Yeah
Sometimes vocabulary runs through my head
The alphabet runs right from A to Z
Conversations, hesitations in my mind
You got my conscience asking questions that I can't find
I'm not crazy
I'm sure I ain't done nothing wrong
Now I'm just waiting
'Cause I heard that this feeling won't last that long
Never ever have I ever felt so low
When you gonna take me out of this black hole?
Never ever have I ever felt so sad
The way I'm feeling, yeah, you got me feeling really bad
Never ever have I had to find
I've had to dig away to find my own piece of mind
I've never ever had my conscience to fight
The way I'm feeling, yeah, it just don't feel right

You can tell me to my face
You can tell me on the phone
Ooh, you can write it in a letter, babe
'Cause I really need to know
You can write it in a letter, babe
You can write it in a letter, babe
