Review:

 

Starts off good with the Montauk but according to my sources this is and old

track. Then a strange interlude by Koxbox.. that track is almost

hardcore at the end. Acid Rockers And Metal Spark contributes with

breakbeat tracks, both very mediocre. Then the trip through sound moves on to

Delta track which I think everyone of you have heard. It's a classic track

and pretty good. Ok, so onto MWNN remix, which is very much his usual style,

ordinary soft psy trance. Johann continues the trip with a harder track

than MWNN and I like this track =). Weird sounds a nice tempo, a bit

repetitive though.. an X-dream remix on a Saafi Brothers track should relly

be great, and so it is , soft and down-tempo track. Respect to both these

artists!! The next track from Total Eclipse goes on in the same tempo, this

track could fit on the "Relaxation" cd from Violent Relaxation.. so if

you heard that, you know the style, ambient stuff just like it should be on

the end of a cd of this sort. Well the journey is complete, and to be honest

I think it's way to many different styles here. Sure you can find

some songs that you like, but I don't think anyone will like all the tracks,

they're so different from each other. From my point of view the first

Trip Through Sound is better. 5/10.

I was very disappointed after the great first volume

I agree with DQ, there are too many different styles here. Beside the Koxbox

interlude, I don't like the first half of the cd, but the other half is good :

I like a lot tracks 6,9,8,7 (in this order). 6/10

Unfortunately, most tracks on this album leave something to be desired. The

ones that stand out above the rest are track 2: Midnight at the End by Koxbox

(wish it was longer), track 4: Sonic Feet by Metal Spark, and without a doubt,

track 6: Jardin de Cecile (Rmx) by Juno Reactor. Juno?s original version of

Jardin de Cecile was very nice, and so is the remix. The rest however, are

pretty weak. It is apparent that the creators of these tracks tried to evolve

them, but for some, it is just too little, and it arrives too late. You

should probably save your money for a better album. 6 out of 10.

This is a choice album of blueroom sounds with a compilation of many of

the big names in the underground trance scene.The first track by

montauk p is wonderfull play loud and feel the ground shake with that

sub driving bass and trickling side stick. although it states it is off

montaukp first album it doesn,t actually appear on def =lim.The koxbox

track although short is almost a lesson in constructed electronica the

tempo change which kiks in towards the end does my head in every time,

only problem is this wonderfull piece is too short.

there should be something on this release to appeal to most lovers of

trance /goa music. Acid rockers can fuse breaks into trance which isn,t

easy.great stuff rating 9 to 9.5 out of 10

Love and light Richard :-)
