Innercity - Brussels  reviewed
on 04/23/00Label: 2000 News/ID&T (Belgium) Style: Trance/Techno/Progressive Index #: 541416 |

| Review: | |
The saga of INNERCITY -
the one of largest dance event touring biggest European venues continues.
Innercity came to Brussels
Expo on April 22nd. Few weeks before this event, Belgian NEWS label
presented the Official Belgian Innercity compilation. The set
containing 21 tracks mixed by "clubsystem master" SVEN LANVIN,
features the top club tracks of the moment, together with some brand
new tunes from such projects like PUSH, MAURO PICOTTO, MARCO V &
INNERDRIVE and others. This set is quite different from reviewed
several weeks ago "Ferry Corsten
Live At Innercity" [see review below]. This is not exactly
pure TRANCE compilation but rather a compiled
set of club tracks from TECHNO TRANCE
and PROGRESSIVE genres, mixed together
in one lasting almost 80 minutes megamix. Be prepared for rollercoaster
ride. If you take a look at the track listing, you will notice a lot of less
known tracks. This is understandable. Many of featured fares are CLUB oriented
and hardly are available on any CD compilation. Some of the tunes probably
need no introduction. The CDs starts with INNERCITY anthem "Airwave"
by RANK 1 immediatelly followed by PROGRESSIVE
beauty "Till We Meet Again" from
PUSH! and transcendental "Deep Horizon"
by LLOERDY. The CD progresses into more DARK and PROGRESSIVE
sound. "Tolerance" by MARCO
V will lead you to the abyss of electronic synth fares. With almost TRIBAL
in sound "Slept 2 gether" by
LORD OF THE DRUMS feat. MICHELLE LUNA you will enter DRUM'N'BASS
and TECHNO kingdom. With Yves Deruyter's
"Open The Ice" Progressive Remix
you will move to more TECHNO ACID sound.
When you will be approaching the end of the CD you will encounter incredible
TRANCE track "Odyssey
3000" by HUMAN FORCE remixed by Junk Project.
This fare is outstanding. It delivers great synths, dramatic vocals and
dark atmosphere. You gotta listen to this one. Taken together this set is
quite a treat for all of you "TECHNO JUNKIES". Not
exactly "pretty release" I would say! You gotta have more guts for this
one. If you dare to be challenged, here you are. The comp you were waiting
for! The Sound sampler contains 6 tracks. The original mix was NOT retained
and tracks were shortened. I guess, you gotta get the real think to
listen to the original mix. You probably would like to know where to
get this release from. I received my copy of CD from
cdteleshop.com. They
are Internet store located in Bunnik, Holland. It might take them the
time to get it for you, but if they will promise to send it, they will.

Euro Heaven - 20 NRG Resurrections
reviewed on 04/21/00 Label: Klone Records/Rumour Records (England) Style: High Energy Index #: KLONE 118 |
|
| Review: | |
Brand new release from
KLONE featuring 20 NRG tracks ALL licensed from S.A.I.F.A.M.
If you like covers you should enjoy this CD. Basically all of them represent
good DANCE tracks covered by S.A.I.F.A.M. artists. 2 CDs full of energy
and dance. The first CD starts from GIBBS BROTHERS' vault. Their
"Tragedy" has been revamped by
BOYS & GIRLS. You will also find PET SHOP BOYS' "New
York City Boy" done by NEW YORK RAPPERS. While the
original production is brilliant, the cover is quite amazing as well.
A lot of NRG in this one. If you are fan of ALICE DEEJAY, you
should take a look SNAPPER's version of her "Better
Off Alone". Extended Power Mix featured in this CD lasts
almost 7 minutes and predominantly is intrumental in it's flavor. Not
as powerful as the original version, yet fun to listen and to dance
to. Also second CD features plethora if interesting covers just to mention
ANGELICA's version of SIMON & GARNFUNKEL classic "Bridge
Over Troubled Water". Factory Mix is simply irresistible.
If you are collecting S.A.I.F.A.M. CDs this one should be one to get
as well. For sound sampler I have chose 6 tracks and mixed them for
your enjoyment.For more information about this and another releases please visit Klone/Rumour Records on line. |

COVER GIRL - 13 NRG Makeovers reviewed
on 04/21/00 Label: Klone Records/Rumour Records (England) Style: High Energy Index #: KLONE 117 |
|
| Review: | |
Yes, another release fron
KLONE! (seems like they came in pairs). Yet another one full of covers
directly from S.A.I.F.A.M.
fault! This is a single CD compilation featuring 13 tunes that are remakes
of some known and less known tracks originally recorded in more POP
style and given NRG face-lift by S.A.I.F.A.M. crew. Several favorites
of mine are in here. "That's Don't Impress
Me Much" makeover by TK is incredible. TK
gave this track more power and more fun. Another POP classic from US
dance scene "If You Had My Love"
was redone by TK as well. And YES! another NRG stomper right
there. Also Mrs. LENNOX got "treatment" her "I
Saved The world Today" done by TR 808 gained some
more NRG feel in it. Also MADONNA's "Beatiful
Stranger" revamped by IN.DEEP made this track more
accessible for NRG fans. All featured tracks are interestingly done
and excellent choices to be featured in such compilation. Again, if
you are collecting S.A.I.F.A.M. releases on CD this one is another to
get and having your collection more complete. Mix features 6 tracks
taken from this CD. Enjoy!For more information about this and another releases please visit Klone/Rumour Records on line. |

DJ JURGEN - Volume 2 - reviewed
on 04/16/00 Label: 2000 ID&T/Arcade Music(Norway) Style: Trance/Techno Index #: BITCD 07 |
|
| Review: | |
Recently DJ JURGEN
released second disc that was compiled and mixed by him. His name should
ring a bell to ALICE DEEJAY fans (after all he was the one who
introduced this project) as well because of his recent hit "Higher
And Higher" (check video to this track in our VIDEO
SECTION). This compilation contains 16 tracks that cover TECHNO/TRANCE
and HOUSE. The beggining is HOUSY indeed,
starting with JAIMY & KENNY D, followed by HP SOURCE.
Both tracks will set you you for more progressive sound. "Snuff
City" by ANNACOTHA, is fierce TECHNO/HOUSE
blending nicely with "Scream Painless"
by THE DENTIST. This fare shifts to TRANCEY-sound.
Glorious synth lines on this one and powerful main course. You will
love it! You also should fall in love with "Day
Dream" by JR PROJECT. Nicely shaped TRANCE
fare with high pitch female vocal in distant background. This tunes
is followed by dramatic DREAM/TRANCE "World
Of Dreams" by OREON GROOVE PROJECT. Think of ATB
mixed with PAUL VAN DYK and you will get the picture. Of course
DJ JURGEN's own "Higher And Higher"
is here as well. This as well as following 5 tracks I featured in the
mix I prepared from this compilation. I tried to retain the original
mixing by DJ JURGEN, so you can get idea of his technique. Of course
the music speaks of itself. I recommend this CD to everyone who likes
good club oriented TRANCE/TECHNO sound, you will enjoy it immensely.
The track listing is exceptional and mixing is great as well. Great
buy. |

| Review: | |
Another TRANCE
compilation on the market. Is it really simply an another one? When
you will browse track listing you might be dissapointed that the tracks
featured on this one are already quite known, so it might lack the "fresh"
touch in your opinion. Fortunately, it is only a shallow observation.
Maybe, the track listing is not that exciting, especially if you already
own many current releases from this genre, but you stillhave to be prepared
to meet your challenge in here. Since this double CD compilation is
all mixed and club ready expect rare mixes here. Many by FERRY CORSTEN
himself ("Why Go?" - by FAITHLESS
- incredible mix, "I'm In Love"
by STARPARTY - another oustanding remix by CORSTEN for
instance). You will die when you will listen to "The
Orange Theme" by CYGNUS X. BERVEOETS & DE
GOEIJ mix of this tune is simply breathtaking. Starting as DARK
TRANCE almost immediately after intro transforms into cosmic
DREAM/TRANCE. The sound of this one is
so incredible, I almost flipped. So, of course I featured it in the
mix. I am sure you will be after this tune big time! Also currently
on my list of favorite DJs, DJ TIËSTO is presenting his
"Sparkles" fare. Another synth-driven
smash hit from this DJ. This entire double CD compilation is actually
a great buy, not only for you who already knows tunes featured in here,
but for anyone who needs the music from this genre. The mix is flawless
and incredibly well done. Since tunes are presented in extended mixes,
you can play both CDs in club, pretending you are a good DJ :-) (I didn't
mean to offend anyone). For sound sampler I have chosen 6 tracks from
first CD that I mixed together. I didn't retain original mixing at all,
but you have to trust me it is good. I didn't do a sampler from second
CD, because it was late when I was making it, but the mix I am giving
you should be enough to give you a feeling for it. Truly a great buy!

| Review: | |
Another compilation signed
by TUNNEL and released by Sony almost at the same time as "Tunnel
Trance Force vol. 12" reviewed below. You will also
find same DJ mixing tracks in this one: DJ DEAN. If you liked
"Tunnel Trance" you should
like this one as well. Both compilations include TRANCE/TECHNO
sound and same DJ mixing DJ, yet track listing is different. Making
this release equally attractive. You should be already familiar with
tracks like "Dreams" by MISS
SHIVA, "Kernkraft 400" by
ZOMBIE NATION, "Send Me An Angel"
by MYTHOS 'N DJ COSMO or "Adelante"
by SASH! You will find more club oriented versions of these tracks
in this compilation. You will also find tracks that are less known or
just hitting club scene yet many of them were released back in 1999.
Are you ready for some speed? You better be! DJ JAMX would like
to "Keep It That Way". I am truly
in love with "See You In The Next Life"
in Original Mix by ATLANTIS. I love this electronic cymbals here
and there. The first CD will really keep you running, and I mean RUNNING!
Most of the tracks are at higher BPM not letting you taking any rest,
including original track "Reality"
by DJ DEAN. The second CD starts with chilling "Hello-Ween"
track with dark piano section resembling the rain following by TECHNO
beats fulfilling the ongoing drama. This track than is taken over by
amazing TRANCE tune by UNIZONE "Unforgetable
Sun" following by other great TECHNO/TRANCE
fares to die for. When I was preparing the sound sampler I tried to
retain original mixing as much as I could, but this is sampler only.
I really like DJ DEAN mixing, it's not perfect digital mixing
but more lively turntable mix. DJ Dean also takes his time to
blend tracks together, so expect the transitions from one to another
tracks lasting even 1 to 2 mins in some instances. |

Ferry Corsten at Innercity - reviewed
on 03/26/00 Label: 1999 ID&T/Sony Music Entertainment (Holland) Style: Trance Index #: 496997 2 |
|
| Review: | |
It took me a significant
while to get this particular compilation. I got very interested in it
after I saw the video from FERRY CORSTEN LIVE performance at
INNERCITY event in Amsterdam back in December of 1999. You might also
recall, that I introduced 3 clips from this even here on eurodancehits.com
This was not only the reason though, FERRY CORSTEN became top-musician
in dance music after struggling for past 8 years to achieve his present
status. Among his brilliant productions were tracks like "Out
Of The Blue" by SYSTEM F., "Carte
Blanche" by VERACOCHA or massive tunes by GOURYELLA.
So here is his amazing performance and incredible music to dance to.
I have to tell you that this is another CD that will travel with me
anywhere I go. It will be placed on the top of CD-changer in my car.
I was impressed with recent DJ TIËSTO compilation reviewed
before, but I fallen in love with this one instantly. If you liked the
video clips I presented, you will be happy to learn, that ALL tracks
presented there are featured here as well. So you will be able to travel
in your mental dimensions with incredible sound of "Incantation"
by LUIS PARIS or get electrified by THE DIGITAL BLONDE.
The CD starts with INNERCITY's anthem "Airwave"
by RANK 1. This is truly TRANCE
track that will introduce you to the mood of entire CD. This track also
is present on intro in video. And mood it is! From slow and mystic sunrise
to full blown thunderstorm climate dominating throughout. CORSTEN
gives you in the mix apogeum of TRANCE,
with all the colors and shades possible. I am sure stunning tracks like
"Walhalla" by GOURYELLA
or very much sought after these days "Love
Shines Through" by CHAKRA no longer need recommendation.
Be awared of many, many more that will send chills into your spine.
If you are still not sure if TRANCE sound
is good for you, this one might finally help you to make the decision.
This set has to be in your collection, if not, you will be missing a
lot. When you purchase this compilation as a bonus you are getting FREE
Video!!! Yes!!! The very same video you saw clips from. Should I say
more? Probably not. Keep in mind though it is in PAL format, so if you
live in US you still need to convert it. Now let me send you in the
ocean of music. The Sound sampler from this outregously impossibly great
release. You will hear 6 tracks out of 16 in the mix. I tried to retain
the original mixing wherever it was possible, yet tracks were significantly
cut. You will enjoy LIVE mixing by CORSTEN, as a matter of fact
when you will listen to CD you will hear in some instances that he played
with his equalizer as well. I don't need to recommend this CD. You already
know what I think. If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

| Review: | |
Next edition of TUNNEL
TRANCE FORCE series brings as usually an excellent choice
of TECHNO, TRANCE and PROGRESSIVE
tracks. Two CDs mixed to the maximum by DJ DEAN who as you might
recall is one of the leading DJs in TUNNEL. One of the foremost known
undergroud clubs in Hamburg. Truly an outstanding collection of tracks
most of them in their club oriented versions. The first CD starts with
Elemental Force Mix of AYLA'S "Angelforce".
This is much more powerful version compared ti tiredsome Radio or Video
Edit appearing in other TRANCE-oriented
compilations. You will appreciate line of amazing strings and piano
sections melt together into one TRANCE/DREAM
stomper. This particular CD has many tracks you should get familiar
with, if you didn't have chance before. For instance "Blue
Lagoon" by NUDGE & SHOUTER that is interestingly
arranged, with unquestionably beauty built in it. Same goes to "Masters
Of Da New Millenium" by M.O.N.M. feat. VERONICA B
with Dark feeling into yet the female vocal that is almost shouting
outloud gives this track special touch. If you like DJ TIËSTO
you really should check his mix of "Destination
Sunshine" by BALEARIC BILL. I know, the track itself
is an old news, yet the mix presented is powerful club stunning production.
Indeed, DJ TIËSTO is proving himself to be a gifted remixer.
Entire compilation brings plethora of tunes, that you should listen
to and enjoy. Granted, the CD is mixed and not most of you like that
idea, but trust me, it is worth to have it. The tracks are presented
in generous length, so it shouldn't bother you. On the top of it, the
mix is really good. Once again, let me congratulate SONY and TUNNEL
for another party stomper. For sound sampler I prepared the mix of 8
songs from both sides. The original mix has NOT been retained. I encourage
you to buy this compilation and listen to all 36 tracks at privacy of
your home or car stereo, better yet, make DJ in your favorite club,
play it for you! .Tunnel organizes a MEGA RAVE party entitled "TIME TUNNEL 8" that will take place in Hamburg, Germany on Saturday May 20, 2000 starting at 10:00 p.m. Plan your trip to Germany accordingly. If you will not make it at that time, visit this club on Fridays and Saturdays where parties start at 11:00 p.m. and enjoy your ride. |

on 03/19/00 Label: 2000 Black Hole Recording (Holland) Style: Trance Index #: BLACK HOLE CD 12 |
|
| Review: | |
After I presented the video
clip from INNERCITY event in Amsterdam that took place in December of
1999, I got a lot of E-mails asking me about DJ TIËSTO.
He has long history of being a very much sought after DJ and remixer
that quite recently gained more world-wide attention. He is "an
author" of several mixed CDs and among of them is MAGIK
series. Today I present the fifth edition of this series entitled "HEAVEN
BEYOND" mixed by him. When I got this CD and started
listen to it, I was hypnotized. Unbelievable CD with 16 tracks that
will send you to the neverland instantly. All TRANCE,
all perfectly turntable mixed, all excellent choices. They bring all
possible feelings into your soul, going deep into every single nerve
of your body, sending chills into your spine. Heavenly strings and perfectly
arranged synths in many tracks drive your imagination beyond three dimensions.
You gotta listen to it loudly and preferably in the club, or you will
miss all the rainbow of sound it presents. This CD contains one amazing
club mix that you should have no matter what. And, I am not kidding!!!
I am sure US DJs that play this style would appreciate the mixing technique
DJ TIËSTO presents. Knowing how good he is LIVE, I hope
he will get invited to play in our TRANCE
circles (and yes, surprisingly we have them here in US if you didn't
know it, including here in D.C. where this style finally is being recognized!).
If you look at track listing, you probably will find several titles
that might sound familiar, but majority of them were unknown to me.
That's what makes this CD even more unique. It is definately not a commercial
TRANCE you can hear here and there, but
sophisticated, club oriented set of tunes that will bring dance floor
to exstasy. In sound sampler I featured 8 tracks, to give you an idea
what challenge you will meet. I did not retain the original mixing,
because I have shortened the tracks to fit the time, but believe me,
the original is superb, so don't judge it based on my own lousy mixing.
I recommend this CD with full confidence. Please let me know what you
think after you will get it!. If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

deliver you the full range of great TRANCE/TECHNO
tunes with many acts you should already be familiar with. Since Polystar's
FUTURE TRANCE 10 was released couple
of weeks before this Sony release, the impact of DREAM
DANCE 15 might be a little lower. This is tough competition
between these two series, yet tracks featured in both releases differ,
making both of them desirable. First CD starts with "Dreams"
by MISS SHIVA. In my opinion this formation is underexposed.
MISS SHIVA usually deliver ambitious TRANCE
sound and same is happening with this, their newest tune. Several songs
featured in this compilation have been beaten already since their previously
appeared on many other compilations like: ALICE DEEJAY's "Back
In My Life", SASH!'s "Adelante",
PAUL VAN DYK's "Another Way"
and many others. Therefore, if you already owe some of newer TRANCE/TECHNO
compilations you might find this one redundant. If you don't owe any
this one is a must! Actually, I would risk the statement that you should
by every volume just blindly, you can't go wrong with the purchase.
Because of redundancy in content of this compilation, I had hard time
to pick up tracks you might not know. I mixed 6 tracks in one mix. Keep
in mind though that you really should check the track listitng below
to determine the real value of this compilation, the sound sampler is
merely representative. Enjoy the sound and run to get this CD! If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

Oliver Momm Gigamix
reviewed on 02/21/00 Label: 1999 Edel Records (Germany) Style: Techno-House/Trance Index #: 0059142ERE |
|
| Review: | |
This is 1999 release and
as you will browse to track listing and following TECHNO-HOUSE/TRANCE
sound trends, all featured tracks will sound familier and most of them
were somehow already featured in www.eurodancehits.com. So, you might
ask why do I bother to review it. Well... I should ! Many of you do
not like mixed CDs and this one is mixed. This particular one is worth
your attention, since the mixing was done by OLIVER MOMM himself.
The producer, remixes and writer in one is already an icon of DANCE
industry. The mix is excellent and will put you into the dance mood
instantaneously. There is quite obvious distinction in styles presented
in the mix. First nine featured songs cater more into HOUSE
and SOUL sound with artists like ARMAND
VAN HELDEN, MOLOKO, SOULSERCHER or PHATS & SMALL. Next
"section" goes PROGRESSIVE with
MAURO PICOTTO, MARIO PIU, than it moves into TRANCE
with ALICE DEEJAY, ATB, PIET BLANK & JASPA JONES, SASH! and
others. Even, if you owe all the track featured, it is rare to have
almost all essential tracks in this genre in one set. I prepared a mix
of 7 tracks in one mix. What I have decided to do was to feature the
original mix done by Oliver. Basically I took 7 consecutive tracks and
shortened them but I fully retained the original mix. I recommend this
CD for any party you might have. Good choices, good music, good beat!If you want to buy this compilation please visit http://www.euromusicworld.com |

DJ TOP 40 - Volume 2
reviewed on 02/18/00 Label: ZYX/Dance Network (Germany) Style: Dance Index #: DNT 10035-2 |
|
| Review: | |
I haven't review any of
ZYX releases recently. Mea culpa! This German label still give us many
interesting dance compilations including this one. "DJ
TOP 40" was available in December 1999. Yeah, I am still
cleaning the house with 1999 releases. First of all let's the title
not scare you. This is DJ TOP 40 from German dance scene, so you can
expect some good tracks in this genre. Indeed we have plethora of various
DANCE styles featured in this one interesting
set. So, it is not a surprise that artists such SASH! MAURO PICOTTO,
DJ QUICKSILVER are featured here. These are more known to all of
us who are following the German dance scene. Yet you will find tracks
that I didn't see in any other compilations recently released. For instance
GALEREA and her "Another Time".
This tune falls into EURODANCE however
is strongly influenced by TECHNO/TRANCE
strings. Killer intro in this one and angelic female vocals. Cute! DJ
Valium, a new interesting "face" in German dance scene
getting more and more recognition. In this compilation you will find
his "Go Right For". This is dynamic
NRG track with rich synths and "sweet" male vocals resembling
a bit of TOM HOOKER. Another rising star of German TRANCE, DJ
SHAH is featured as well. His style falls more into MELLOW
TRANCE characterized by more delicate and soft synths arrangements.
Here you have his "The Ten Commandments".
Taken together nice package from ZYX. I prepared a mix featuring 6 tracks
from this double CD. Enjoy! |

DJ SHAH pres. MELLOW TRANCE Vol. 2
reviewed on 02/18/00 Label: LTM - The Club Adventure/KOCH International (Germany) Style: Trance/Techno Index #: LTM000002 |
|
| Review: | |
Yeah! Still doing "house
cleaning"! This time it is release from KOCH International. The
label is represented worldwide, however DANCE releases are quite rare,
so I thought I would pick up one, that might be of interest for you.
"MELLOW TRANCE - Volume 2"
is quite interesting and well rounded double CD compilation. All 32
tracks are mixed by DJ Shah, who actually is authoring several mixes
featured (e.g. THE KLUBBINGMAN - "Dreaming
For A Better World" or DJ 2 L8 - "Too
Late"). DJ SHAH presents his LIVE ability as a DJ,
since the mixes he done on both CDs are turntable with only limited
digital postproduction. As the name of this CD indicate the style featured
falls into MELLOW TRANCE. Basically, this
style is focusing more into COSMIC sound with very limited PROGRESSIVE
strings. So you will hear a lot of beatiful, angelic female vocals here
and there and breathtaking synths galore like for example in MOULAGE
- "Finsternis" or MIKE SCANDLE
- "Is Music Magic". Of coure
this comp is featuring also tracks that you already know very well by
groups like: VERACOCHA, ALICE DEEJAY or DJ TOM STEVENS. So if
you are fan of good TRANCE, well arranged strings and amazing SPACE
sound, this one would be definately take home item. I prepared a mix
featuring 6 tracks from this double CD. I didn't retain any of the original
mixing. I just decided to pick up few tracks you might not know well
and to show you what this excellent release is all about. |

KLONE IKONS 2 - A Sekond Selektion Of Klone Klassiks
reviewed on 02/13/00 Label: 2000 Klone/Rumour Records (England) Style: Euro-Energy Index #: KOPYBX2 |
|
| Review: | |
Here we go! On February
14 2000 latest Euro/NRG offering from UK
label: Klone/Rumour
Records was released. This volume features 44 full length of
KLONE classics wrapped in a one sexy package. This is an exciting release
by far. You will find in here huge club hits like "Amoureuse"
by ILLUSIVE, JACKIE CLUNE's massive anthem "Calling
Occupants", GIRLFRIENDS top version of the "Friends"
theme "I'll Be There for You",
not to mention the ultra classic "Earthquake"
and "Eat You Up" by FLIRTATIONS
and ANGIE GOLD. KLONE's most sought after record, PRIMA's
amazing versions of "Don't Cry For Me Argentina"
is also included in it's full 12" glory helping to make this brilliant
collection even richer. I would not exxagerate by saying you have here
an ultimate collection of brilliant songs that were put together in
one volume. For sound sampler I prepared a mix containing 12 tracks
taken almost randomly from all 4 CDs. I hope it will show you the diversity
and quality of this release. All EURO-NRG
fans should get it, no questions asked! Also the price of this CD is
a plain steal! We are talking like 11 UK pounds when ordering this beauty
from KLONE site. Unbeatable value !!! For more information about this and another releases please visit Klone/Rumour Records on line. |

Mad About The Boy 5
reviewed on 02/13/00 Label: Klone Records/Rumour Records (England) Style: High Energy Index #: CDKOPY 116 |
|
| Review: | |
Who said that only bad
luck comes in pair. In contrary! This is another KLONE compilation released
on January 24th. This is volume five of the ever popular "Mad
About The Boy" series. This set of two CD contains cream
of the crop in terms of the Euro/NRG hits that rocked the UK scene.
All 20 tracks are in full versions and many of them were never before
released on CD (e.g. "Boys Of Summer"
and "The Sun Always Shines On TV"
by RE4FORMATION and "I Am Strong"
by I-KON). One of my favorite artists: PRINCESS PARAGON
is featured in two tracks: "Say You Love
Me" and "Angel Of Mine".
Both are stunning and filled with energy to dance to. This is yet another
set that I would recommend to all of you who are into good Euro-NRG
sound. Also, if you like the genre you should enjoy almost 11 minutes
mix I created with 6 tracks from this release. It should covince you
on what to expect. Keep in mind that it is just a sample, you have to
get the REAL thing! ABSOLUTELY! Enjoy! For more information about this and another releases please visit Klone/Rumour Records on line. |

Euphoria - Level 3
reviewed on 01/13/00 Label: 1999 Telstar Records (UK) Style: Trance/Progressive Index #: TTVCD3095 |
|
| Review: | |
During my short stay in
London last Christmas I visited one of HMV stores to see what UK can
offer me in DANCE. My attention caught
this particular 2 CD compilation. 37 tracks of pure TRANCE
and PROGRESSIVE sound mixed PF PROJECT.
As the insert states: higher, higher, higher living for the floor...
It's always out on the floor that it happens. Hands-in-the-air and lost
in music, when that track you've been waiting all week to hear is segued
into the mix. A rush of raw energy surges through your body and just
when you think the excitement has reached its peak, it happens again,
pure joy exploding across the dancfloor as the music takes you into
another dimension. It's what we live for and it's what you live for:
the highest possible state of EUPHORIA.
This is the third edition of EUPHORIA
compilation. Since it launch already became a huge success in clubs
all over the Europe and US (Miami, FL) and is sold in hundred thousands
copies. EUPHORIA was awarded Ministry
Magazine Best Compilation of 1999 award. Third edition is
also a massive stumper for TRANCE clubs and is a must for any serious
DJ playing this style and obviously for everyone who just like this
kind of dance music. This is plain wonderful release. Mix is done club
style and will do extremely well. While checking the track listing you
will see many familiar names and titles. What makes this compilation
really unique over other releases in the same style are the mixes chosen.
There are not just beaten to death Radio versions, but rather less frequent
played versions that you usually can only hear in clubs. Most of the
tracks featured are recent releases. For instance "Avenue"
by PAUL VAN DYK is a mesmerizing TRANCE
stomper fulfilling your imagination. DJ Tiesto Remix of "L'Esperanza"
by AIRFORCE combines wonderful synths and amazing electronic
orchestration. Plain beauty! "Kinetic '99"
by GOLDEN GIRLS delivers also stunning synths and energy. Listen
to it loud! So many great tracks, great artists. The music will take
you for journey into fantasy. Amazing compilation that I am sure was
played widely in New Year Eve parties. Get it when it lasts. You cannot
afford to skip it. I guarantee you will not regret this purchase! Have
I ever lied??? Pop these CDs in your CD player, turn the volume up and
prepare yourself to reach superior form of consciousness! I have chosen
9 tracks for sound sampler and preapred mix. The original mixing was
NOT retained with just two or three exceptions. I am sure it will help
to make your mind up. As much as I wanted to give you the feeling for
this release, I was not that much successful. You have to have the real
thing to really appreciate this fare! |

Dream Dance 2000 reviewed
on 01/13/00 Label: 2000 Lucka (Poland) Style: Trance Index #: LSC 3744 CD |
|
| Review: | |
DREAM
DANCE 2000 is a legitimate compilation. Why did I make such
disclaimer? Well look at the cover. It is almost identical to the series
that is being released by German division of SONY. DREAM
DANCE 2000 I am rewieving now has been released by Polish
label that is quite uknown to me called: LUCKA. This CD is widely available
in many supermarkets in Poland. What made me curious about this release
was its content. 16 tracks many unknown to me at the time I purchased
this CD, represent very good TECHNO/TRANCE
sound. CD starts with an interesting song "Diva"
by MIND PHASER. This is TRANCE track
with sizzling DREAM elements created by
electronic guitar. Next is UNDERGROUND/TRANCE
track "Cry Of Youth" by RONALDO.
Dynamic keyboards are strong elements of this very sensual composition.
Speaking of "sensual" next song: "Sea Beat"
by SILENT BEAT feat. DJ UNEEK brings an interesting after hours
sound with elements and sound of the beach at the sunset. "Secret
of Asia" by ?! gives a transcendental DREAM
HOUSE feeling that combines sound of SEQUENTIAL ONE, KAI TRACID
and DJ QUICKSILVER in one beatifully arranged production. Combination
of TRANCE and DRUM'N
BASS found home in "Armageddon"
by SECTOR 5. Truly driving, unstoppable excitement to pack dance
floor. If you are looking for inspirational, pounding sound "Flying
Fantasies" by PHOENIX surely will do the job. This
one is intense. Into same category falls "Fallen
Angel" by DJ TRANCE. Massive, uplifting TRANCE with
angelic female vocals to die for. Taken together, it is an interesting
compilation with very good choices for the sound. I only hope you can
have your hands on it as I did. I have chosen 6 tracks and made the
mix. All songs on this compilation are unmixed and usually on thier
extended versions, unfortunately names of the mixes were not given.
Oh well... Small price to pay for otherwise an excellent CD..
