Guest Deku81 Posted February 23, 2000 Share Posted February 23, 2000 V/A - A Progress In Trance Artist: Various Title: A Progress In Trance Label: Transient Date: 1999 Track listing: 01. 08'50" Atmos : A Pro X 02. 09'14" Necton : My Mud is Bubbling 03. 09'29" Son Kite : Inversion 04. 07'51" Vibrasphere : Nowhere 05. 08'02" Noma : What's Out There? 06. 08'59" Phony Orphants : Exebeche 07. 08'34" Hux Flux : Idiot 08. 08'15" Logic Bomb : Pure Kali 09. 08'59" Human Blue : Protonica Review: Is this the future sound of Transient??? In that case I'm very happy, cause this rocks!!! This album was compiled by dj Anti (it's not mixed though). DJ Anti is a well-known dj up here in Scandinavia, he runs a record store and a label (Spiral Trax). The album contains only scandinavian artists, mostly Swedes. It's very progressive and hard and you should play it LOUD!! All tracks are excellent!! (maybe I'm a little biased because I am from Sweden myself ). This is exactly the kind of trance that I love and want to hear when I go to parties. Well watch out world, cause here comes Scandinavia!!!!!! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andreas_h80[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted March 25, 2000 Share Posted March 25, 2000 dark progressive scandinavian morning trance, i love this compilation ,my style of trance .This is a must have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AtomikElf Posted April 7, 2000 Share Posted April 7, 2000 full of surprises at every listen. i haven't gotten into the scandinavian trance vibe yet, and i'm still making up my mind, but i bought this anyway and it's a good buy. it's new to me and very interesting indeed. very much more spacey than your usual, but don't let that fool you, it's very very trippy once you let your guard down. it's like, you're not sure where it came from, but the next thing you know you're wondering what the hell's going on (in the good/freaky way) - this song is so fuckin tripped out, and then you start appreciating this cd more and more. 8/10 the only song that's a little bit uncool is #7 tho.

Guest jonatanh[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted May 25, 2000 Share Posted May 25, 2000 Best track is the one by Hux Flux (nr 7)! It's so annoying and at the same time so fucking good I first heard it at a party, and it made me laugh. And I love to smile at parties Anyways, this compilation is a MUST. The best of scandinavian QUALITY trance. Nothing more to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest master_illusion[at]hotmail[dot]c Posted September 16, 2000 Share Posted September 16, 2000 all the scandinavian trance releases should be like this compilation. AMAZING. Most of the scando-prod after it are too minimal... I don't want the so called "psy-tecno"!!!! Anyway Progress in Trance is STILL a must to be played at parties...

Guest robgoatrance[at]libero[dot]it Posted November 22, 2000 Share Posted November 22, 2000 A good cd from Transient....Best track is Human Blue-Protonica with a fantastic melody (10/10)! Bad track in Hux Flux - Idiot (5/10) and the rest is good! Rating: 6.5/10 !ROB! ITALY ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest damoneves[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted December 10, 2000 Share Posted December 10, 2000 I struggle to understand why people write "best tracks are..." so often it happens, as above,.. "best track no .7" on one review , then worst track no.7 on next review ??? So is it good or not? decide for yourself. As it goes track 7 is the only questionable one on the album. The rest is sweeping scando trance that chills to the bone at parties. A must for anyone who likes the progresseive sound...for those that don't ...buy this and i'm sure most of you will get into it. i think...88 out of 100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Idiot Posted December 14, 2000 Share Posted December 14, 2000 Why the hell do you not like Hux-Flux's "Idiot", I think its one of their best tracks and it definately got played a lot at parties when it came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ubik Posted December 27, 2000 Share Posted December 27, 2000 Idiot is kind of strange, ok but not their best imo. For the rest there is no exception, only good and very good tracks. The whole comp is very refreshing, sounds are "clean" Highlights include Logic Bomb as always hard and melodic enough with cool fx, Noma and Human Blue (a little reminiscent of old X-dream songs). 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted January 23, 2001 Share Posted January 23, 2001 One of the best CD's I will ever buy, it made me re-examine Psy-Trance. From what I have heard of Transient CD's, this is the best by far. Every Track is brilliant, except iMHO track 7 (Not my cup of Tea), but as for the rest of the album, the vast spectrums covered, my fave track is Exebeche by Phony Orphants. Between this, Pulse 6 & Dementertainment, there is always plenty for me to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Goa Spirit Posted January 31, 2001 Share Posted January 31, 2001 Man this album is one of the best ever produced... think about it... when it came out the artists that feature on this comp were mainly unknown ... boy has that changed .. logic bomb, noma, vibrasphere,(atmos, human blue and hux flux were already quite popular) necton all have come out with killer albums after this.. dj anti was ahead of his time when he made this... definitely one of my favorite albums of all time... ok maybe its got a bit old now.. but when it came out it was pure gold.. i still think a lot of the tracks on here are total rockers even now.. this is scando trance in all its glory..

Guest ir0nm0nk3y Posted February 14, 2001 Share Posted February 14, 2001 I've had this one for a while and it keeps getting better everytime I listen to it. One of my all time favorite compilations. Fantastic music. 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest a_ozi Posted April 12, 2001 Share Posted April 12, 2001 still the modern day atom bomb after 2 years...9.10.... Phony Orphants and Logic Bombs best still 2 this day me thinx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sun-Wizard Posted April 19, 2001 Share Posted April 19, 2001 I dont like minimal at all but this is a fucken great album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest djpsylentknight[at]hotmail[dot]c Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 I actually don't have this CD, but actually got a tape of it from a friend, who actually got it off another friend. Anyway this is a fantastic album!!! My best attempt at classifying it is it is not minimal, but what could be called very good bouncy yet hard morning music!!! I don't know what tracks are what but my fav is I think no. 6, what I call the "Alarm Clock Song". Where it has a very alarm clock sounding noise in the first 10-20 seconds of the track. Has some very good use of samples on it. This is the only tape in my car collection that I NEVER get tired of listening to. I think I've gotten sick of listening to the other 15 or so tapes in my car, but everytime I pop this one on I can't help but love it. I'm going to have to buy it on CD so I can listen to it in all it's glory at home!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deku81 Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 This is one of those compilations that really survived through the years of minimalistic trance. Still in these days, more than 2 years after it was released, it is a killer. I wrote the first review of this compilation and it still kick some serious ass. I just have to tell you that walking around in an open nature with the sun going down and with headphones on, and hear that Logic Bomb tack, is so wonderful.. thank you LB!

Guest Panchamk Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 this is THE CD that actually made me rethink my view on minimal. i previously thought that it was just an excuse for extechno bastards to invade our sweet psy; but after listening to this cd; i've a new found appreciation for minimal. full marks: 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squid Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Classic early Scandi progressive trance. All the usual suspects are in, fully recommended! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goa-Head Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Still remember first time I heard this, November 99, CD was just released. I was blown away by this new sound. All artists on here heard them first time on here. Age s I dont listen to it, will dig it again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
