"The other reviews mentioned here would have you believe that "Pure Trance 2" is a great cd, but it is a bit misleading. What really annoyed me about this cd mix is that a lot of the tracks had loud, blarring, ugly synths sounds! The first track, "Genie" has horrible, high pitched synths. The second track "Can you hear me?" has a cheesy vocal!. Next up, "Silent Heart" has a good vocal but lousy synths, that ruin the track.
then is another track filled with awful synths called, "See my paradise". On track 5 things mellow out with "Tokyo" it has a nice steady tempo and the synths are not as annoying like other tracks. Track 6 has "Let the leaves" another annoying track with ugly synths. Following another blarring synth filled track called "Silver bath". And most of the tracks go in the same direction of having poor vocal songs, ugly and loud synths. The synths seem to be the MAJOR emphasis of this cd. It wouldn't be a bad thing if they had good synths and good harmony, but they don't. Pure Trance is a poor introduction to trance music, it has good selection of tracks marred by bad vocals and ugly synths that gave me a headache everytime I listened to it! I suggest you buy other compilations like the MOS (ministry of sound) or The FANTASTIC "Euphoria" series which in my opinion surpasses any compilations out there. I have wrote many reviews on the Euphoria series, which I love with a passion!"

"For those who love melodic, uplifting trance that makes you want to move, get this cd. It has some fresh cool trance tracks. My favorite is "Genie". Sends chills up and down my spine. Ligaya, Secret Memory, Summer Calling are but a few that I'm mentioning here. The whole cd is cool. Epic trance at it's best. Water Music seems to be gathering some very fresh artist and tracks. There other cd out, "Liquid Trance" is awesome too. Like cool beats, melodic, uplifting danceable trance? Get this!!"

It really means "Pure" Trance I guess

"Well I just finished this CD and to be honest, nothing really stuck in my head. However, they kinda overdid that synth sound. I've never heard so much of it. I was expecting it to change styles and synths (such as Tiesto's Nyana album)but they all stayed the same and it got tiresome. I'm a Trance fan but this CD just really didn't get me into a great trance mood.

Some bad songs are "Can you Hear me?" -bad vocals, "Venus" -the most overplayed song. The good songs I can think of are "Let the Leaves" "Remeber" "The Race" and "Too Late to Turn" Everything else pretty much sounds like euro-cheese.



If you like Vocal Trance a lot, then you might enjoy this."
