Matthias Uhle (producer), sister Claudia Uhle (singer), and Alex Kaiser (bass/keyboards/lyrics) appeared on the trance-pop scene in 1995 with the release of the independently produced and distributed single "Circles of Love", a soft sparkle of a tune somewhere between a-ha, Enya, and the dour dance landscapes of Depeche Mode, Delerium, and early Talk Talk. Due to well-placed airplay, "Circles of Love" was a breakout hit, reaching the top of the charts and staying there for six months, later successfully reissued with new remixes.
X-Perience's popularity remained strong despite a lack of progressive singles, with 1996's
Magic Fields debut album going platinum in Finland and "
Island of Dreams", their first release after switching from WEA to Polydor, being used as the theme song for Germany's version of the Survivor television series.
