This is a Brilliant compilation "in the mix", compiled and mixed by John 00 Fleming.

 

The sound qvality on both CD`s is simlpy outstanding and every track seems to fit in just vell enough to creat a musical journy from start to finish.

 

CD 1 is filled with nice pads.., deep melodies and great progressive stuff while in CD 2 things gets more psychedelic with a touch of club sound, but still very uplifting. The choise of tracks for CD 2 may have been better, or maybe not, I guess it would be a matter of taste, but one thing is for sure; John 00 Fleming`s mixing skills are over the top, every track falls in just perfect enough to insure the feeling of being in trance..

 

Actually I Like all the tracks on CD 1 and enjoy most on CD 2, but these are standouts for me:

 

Cell - X-Press Morning, Cell is using a very nice dream sound to create extreme deep melodies, with a felling of being back in 1994 listing to Dragofly`s Order Odonata Vol 1!! Also very similar to old Morphem. A perfect start for this compilation.

 

Chakra - Opacity, new track from an old artist, it has a great driven rythme section and a crispy melody that makes you fly.. I´m looking forward for the next album from Chakra.

 

Bad things:

 

Tikal - Welcome, actually this track would work just fine if the club/pop vocals in the beginning were deleted..

 

MFG - Shining Faces, this should be a taste of the forth coming album, it has the old MFG sound with some updates, but the melodies lack of creativity like so many other modern full-on artists. I know that MFG can do better than this..

 

This Compilation sounds well up-to-date and yet it has a feeling of being timeless.

 

With a playing time at just over 79 min. per CD!! you get good value for money while the selected tracks for this compilation being mixed together creates an atmosfere of a never ending track..

Worth checking out, especially if you like mixed CD`s.
