Review:

 

The first part of the Rhinos' classic trance compil series (btw, did it ever go further

than vol. 2 or 3?). Most of these tracks here will probably be known even by those

who listened to the little more comercial trance back in the old days (as I did).

However, the only track that wasn't new to me is the one from Blue Planet Corp.,

which seems to me like a hybrid of Goa trance and Club trance, just like their later

stuff. This track is somewhat weak in comparison to their album but still pretty good for

its age. The 'hybrid' thingie also applies for the Overlords track, the Dance 2 Trance

track and Genetic's well-known 'Trancemission'. Tracks 5 and 6 are nice old Eye Q stuff.

The track by X-Dream doesn't work somehow, they made much better tunes back then. Best

tracks on this compi are Juno Reactor's still fresh sounding 'High Energy Protons',

the funky Eat Static track and of course Simon's track. This version of 'Solstice' is

a different one than the album version though, it is slower but some of the main melodies

can still be heard. It also contains a quite hilarious sample ;-) I've heard that this one

is the actual original version. Altogether an OK compilation. Check it out just for the sample

in Solstice, it's not included on Twisted. 7.5/10
