Ranks with the Best

"This is a surprisingly strong representation of the best sounds in trance. It compares well with the premier European collections, like Trancemaster. There are a couple tracks that might be a 3.5 or 4.0, but nothing annoying. Overall, a very enjoyable CD with my favorite tracks being "Sundance" and "Alpha 5", at maximum bass and volume."

Almost a five, but...

"... well, I guess you could say I give it a 4.9. The songs are incredible, but due to the DJ-oriented nature of Trance music, most of the tracks have solid intros, but no real "end" to them, just a sudden fade out. This, of course, is so they can be mixed seamlessly into the next song by a DJ, only in this case, they aren't, so it falls just a tad short of perfect. The label it's on also puts out "Trance Stimuli", which again is exellent but warrants an identical review. I do strongly recommend these two albums (and not one over the other, as they are blissfully interchangeable), but I suggest a good set of headphones over a loud stereo system as the best listening method for them."
