Review:

 

Very various CD!! The first part of the Cd isn't very good and has some strange

songs (3,4) that aren't very good... Sure not to dance!! Luckely the CD really

starts with nr 5!!! Very good song of Elysium... Jaïa isn't too great but

after that we have 3 "killers" (7,8&9)altough it's strange to place them

together on 1 CD!! Also a pitty is that most of those songs are already on

other compilations... So If you already have nr 5,7,8&9, don't buy this CD!!

Starts with Electric Sunrise (SUN Project And Electric Universe) and this track

rocks!! Love the guitars in this. Track 2 is Der Dritte Raum with quite a

melodic track. Pretty spacey. Next up Planet BEN. with Spiralkinda. Just like

always, minimalistic, but pretty good. Weird track from Genetic is next, but I

like it. Next up Elysium with a track with great killer stereo effects. Just

listen to this on headphones!! Jaïa follows with their usual style. So, good.

Green Nuns deliver some madness again and Chi A.d. Astral Warrior remix is

better than the original!! Ends with the penultimate Dancing Galaxy from AP!

This one rules bigtime! Good compilation, strong tracks... 8/10 from me.

Not bad, I was initially dissappointed with all but a few notably green nuns of

the revolutions and Jaia. Elysium grew on me (that cool wolf's howl) and so

funnily enough did Der Dritte Raum (still a bloody wierd track though!). If

you are searching for a definitive trance compilation don't get this get the

strong labels..6/10

"The spice extends life. The spice expands consciousness. The spice is vital to space travel. Travel...without moving."

 

Once spice can do that? Our greatest pharmaceutical contribution to date is a pill that keeps octogenarians humping. We've got a long way to go people.

 

This was the compilation series that used to include flacons of perfume with each new installment until the burnouts started drinking them like it was a free mai tai. Instantly recognizable these compilations include some of the biggest names in goa trance. Yes they're all here...Astral when they actually produced something other than delays, Chi-A.D. and the sample they beat you over the head with in the Astral Warrior remix, and the madness that is the Green Nuns.

 

And that's just the final three tracks. Mind you those tracks are on 62 other compilations so I'm sure you already have them. I liked the progressive goa track from Jaia that had me feeling as if I were swimming with the whales. Elysium also impressed even though it seemed as if he stuck a couple tracks together. And what's with the wolf? Genetic's track was also progressive in nature; that is to say not storming like the last three. Kinda spooky in a 1950's horror type way.

 

Which brings me to the first three tracks. The EU Sun Project collaboration misses the mark unless its target was mediocrity. Der Dritte Ram was always a little out there, but I didn't think they would make a trance track that was less exciting.

 

They did.

 

Leave it to Planet B.E.N. to go metallic and futuristic on the way to the minimal style they liked to wallow in. The effects were well done however.

 

So after a slow start things eventually get interesting and rise to a fever pitch with the last third of the compilation being storming tracks you've heard more than happy birthday. Hardly a classic.

 

Ok space cadets, prepare to hurtle through the...well, maybe we could just walk. Cone to think of it is there a bus that runs by here? My feet are killing me.
