Pleiadians is a side project of the Goa trance band Etnica. The main characteristics of their work are tracks that are unusually fast and very melodic at the same time. Their first album, "Identified Flying Object" was very well received by the community and is often cited as the most striking example of music in the genre. Pleiadians name was forged when a famous label requested them to do so. They didn't like the idea of them releasing material under another label as they wanted the exclusive of the Etnica name. Therefore they did and actually it perfectly fit the music they made. Curiously for them making tracks was just one thing, and they didn't plan to make different projects with different names, for them it was all Etnica material.
