Title: A State Of Trance - Year Mix 2005 reviewed on 03/28/06 Label: 2005 MCloud9 Music (The Netherlands) Style: Trance Index #: CLDM 300582
Review:
I am sure that if you are TRANCE maniac name of ARMIN VAN BUUREN not only rings the bell but most likely brings to your mind the quality TRANCE. ARMIN represents mainstream of Dutch TRANCE at it's best. He does not only make great music, remixing other productions but also is an unbelievably talented DJ. As a matter of fact for last 5 years he runs a very popular radioshow called A STATE OF TRANCE. So every thursday if you can have access to FreshFM radio station you can hear his mixes for 2 hours. Morever, his ASOT (short for "A State of Trance") mixes are played on several Internet based sites. As a matter of fact it is being broadcasted by almost 30 FM stations around the world. So if you are internet saavy, you might catch his mixes. Presented today "A STATE OF TRANCE - Year Mix 2005" is an official mix for ASOT show . This is an incredible offering for all of you who like TRANCE and more PROGRESSIVE sound. ARMIN compiled 2 hours set featuring 82 tunes in one mix (actually 2, because it is double CD comilation - DJ Set). He really had good but also hard time to choose tracks for this release. 2005 was indeed a good year for quality electronic music. So many choices, so little space. When he created this mix titles were selected based on votes from listeners of his weekly ASOT show. So all together you have received very interesting compedium of 2005 ELECTRONICA sound. Great mix and great choices. There is really no reason to single out certain titles from this set. I am sure you will recognize many titles, but some maybe new for you. Yet another reason why to listen to it. You really should own this double CD compilation, if you are not owing it yet already. I have prepared sound sampler with 20 tunes taken from both CDs. I retained the original mixing by ARMIN wherever it was possible. Enjoy the beauty of ELECTRONICA and don't forget to support ARMIN. He is one of the best TRANCE DJs currently playing.

Title: Techno Marathon Vol. 10 - The Ultimate Megamix reviewed on 03/15/06 Label: 2005 Dance Network / More Music / ZYX (Germany) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: DNT 10177-2
Review:
"TECHNO MARATHON - vol. 10 " is the newest double CD from this series released in December of 2005 mixed by legendary DJ DEEP & DJ STUDIO 33 released on More Music / ZYX. This series is really directed to all TECHNO freak croud. It is not nice. It is HARD it is ACID it is club TECHNO. This double offering features 63 tunes on both CDs and contains not only club sound but also breaks, loops and jingles all over the place. This is typical DJ DEEP mix. It is really pointless to to talk about specific tunes. Too many to discuss. I am sure however, that you will find this mix of interest to you if the TECHNO is what you are looking for. The mix itself is flawless and electronica is superb. As usually, I prepared a sound sampler. This one features 14 tunes taken from both CD. I was trying to retain the original mixing wherever it was possible. An excellent release for all of you who are into very dark BEAT BREAK oriented TECHNO sound.

Title: Techno Marathon Vol. 9 - The Ultimate Megamix reviewed on 03/15/06 Label: 2005 Dance Network / More Music / ZYX (Germany) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: DNT 10163-2
Review:
I am quite late with reviewing previous "TECHNO MARATHON - vol. 9 " from More Music / ZYX label. This one was actually released almost a year ago around April 2005. However, I decided to present this one as a benefit to all of you who collect mixes by DJ DEEP and STUDIO 33. This is yet another change to owe their product. This volume features 73 tracks and is very similar in style as presented above vol. 10. What's important about this mix and series itself, is the fact that it is quite focused of variety flavors of TECHNO music on the club side. I also visualize it as a great source of "new info encyclopedia" type of compilation. Since there is a number of tunes and they are in relatively short length it wil lgive you a good idea about trends in TECHNO. On the other hand the mix itself is a great party stomper or simply play on your CD player for fun. I would not however advice you on using it as a bedtime music. You might have nightmares since the music is really aggressive and pandemonic in many instances. You can check it on your own. I have prepared a representative mix with 14 tunes taken from both CD. It should give you an idea what kind of power you are about to encounter! As usually I tried to keep mix intact and retain as much as possible of the original mixing so you will also get an idea on quality of superb mixing technique.

Title: Trancemaster 5000 reviewed on 03/10/06 Label: 2006 Vision Soundcarriers / Rough Trade (Germany) Style: Trance Index #: 302 4130.2
Review:
Some call "TRANCEMASTER" series the mother of all TRANCE compilations. Well... Now we should celebrate. This year she turned "50". Unbelieveable as it sounds presented set is 50th released up-to-date. This is 3-CD anniversary edition to commemorate this event. I am not sure how many of you know that, but in fact this was the first TRANCE series ever released in Germany. It's history started back in 1992 and after 14 years it continues it's success. The major reason for success this series accomplised is based on it's initial concept to deliver the best tracks from TRANCE genre (it happened in several occasions that some tunes appeared first in this compilation even before being released in vinyls). It always aim to reach hearts of die hard fans of this genre. It is not exactly main-stream TRANCE if you will, but rather club-scene oriented sound with tunes presented usually in hard to get and sophisticated mixes. All of you who keep collecting issues from this series should consider themselves owners of TRANCE encyclopedia. Presented today "TRANCEMASTER 5000 " is definately a jewel in the crown. 31 titles are bringing again cutting edge electronica at it's best. While the series remains committed to TRANCE it actually go beyond that to discover further the beauty of electronic sound. First CD starts with "Playground" by SECOND SUN released on Paul Van Dyk's VANDIT label. High caliber club-tune with killer hooks and synths surrounding female vocal snips here and there. Several strong tunes on this one with highlights provided by PERVADING CALL TWO in "On My Mind", DOGZILLA in "Without You", new FERRY CORSTEN's tune "Star Traveller" in marvellous TRANCE anthem "Star Traveller" or M.I.K.E. in riveting rework of RAVE hit "Strange World" originally by PUSH. This is massive tune underlined by aggressive, driving rhythm patters surely to pack any dance floor! Monster ready to be released! Second CD start with "Closer" by JOSE AMNESIA feat. LYNN. One would love this very soft almost on AMBIENT side TRANCE marvel. This tune will work in clubs very well because of specific atmosphere it delivers! If you subscribe to more dramatic and and uplifting TRANCE you will find on the second CD what you are looking for. Good examples are "X-factor" by ABSOLUTE, absolutely stunning "Ilimitado" by DUENDE (wild synths work out of this galactic and further out). Same goes to OPERA-TRANCE in style "Symphony In G Minor" by PHALANX. It actually contains revamped in TRANCE riffs taken from TOMASO *ALBINIONI's* "Adagio G-minor". Very trendy (see similar work done in TIESTO production). Sweet! There are more both in second and third CD. Check them out! After listening to this offering I am convinced that you will find it very attractive. I prepared sound sampler with 14 tunes taken from all three CDs. I mostly concentrated on rather big room TRANCE, but first of all I could only present you a short fragments of tunes and secondly there is much more of quality music that I am showing you. Run to get it! The trip is never ending. For now enjoy the sound! If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com

Title: Trance Megamix Vol. 6 reviewed on 02/06/06 Label: 2005 More Music / ZYX (Germany) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: DNT 10170-2
Review:
Last year I promised you to present you DJ DEEP's megamix entitled "TRANCE MEGAMIX - vol. 6" released back in August 2005. I have piles of those releases that I am finally getting through, so please forgive me my tardness. Even if released last year, this set is a MUST HAVE for all of you DJ DEEP die hard fans. This double CD set features 61 tunes equally divided in 2 CDs. TRANCE fans will appreciate the quality of tunes presented here. In most cases you should not be surprised. A lot of title have been for awhile around, but that's not the point. This double CD set is truly a great TRANCE/VOCAL TRANCE party package to have. You will enjoy flawless mix and great choices of music. First CD contains many quasi-commercial fares by such projects as TIESTO (of course "Adagio For Strings", what else? This has been HUGE!), JAN WAYNE, AIRBASE , CASCADA (with MAGGIE REILY's "Everytime We Touch" megahit). HYPERTROPHY is back with 2005 edition of their club hit - "Just Come Back To Me". Speaking of returns, JENS 0 paired with 666 for "Supadupa Fly 2005". Among other 2005 TRANCE hits is "Love Or Die", beautifully done fare by BLUE NATURE, JAN JOHNSON provided vocal to terrific production by COSMIC GATE in "I Feel Wonderful" and many more. Great CD indeed. Second CD starts with "Believe In Me" by ATB. The sound on this CD has a bit little different flavor. More relaxed and inspiring. At least at the beginning, but don't worry you are getting a load of energy on this one as well. I also found couple of tracks that in a sense are "make overs" of some classic. For instance I was shocked by TECHNO/PROGRESSIVE ala BROOKLYN BOUNCE version of traditional Jewish song "Hava Nagila" by ALEX and MARC VAN DAMME. That was not the end of my shock therapy. MISTER ROKK turned FANCY's "Slice Me Nice" to TECHNO clone cheesy piece of work. I decided to put this tune along with yet another remake of classic; this time 70's "Everlasting Love" by MYSTERIO to the sound sampler from this release along with other 10 tunes. I hope that the mix with all together 12 tunes taken from both CD with time length for each track and mixing retained will help you out to determine the value of this offering. Enjoy the sound!

Title: Deep Dance 2005 Vol. 5 reviewed on 02/06/06 Label: 2005 Klubbstyle Media (Germany) Style: Dance/Trance Index #: 535.4005.2
Review:
While the above mix catered rather specifically to various flavor of TRANCE, this next release by DJ DEEP entitled "DEEP DANCE 2005 - vol. 5" is truly more contemporary release in terms of featured DANCE genres. If you remember MAGIC DEEP DANCE bootlegs, that is the closest it gets. This double CD set features 80 tunes (40 per each CD). So tracks are even shorter than in above presented above TRANCE MEGAMIX compilation. However again, this is just a fun party release. It is a little bit too late to be a source of what's new, because it was released back in October 2005, but still it is a fun set and again a must for DEEP stuff collectors. So let's talk about music. Both CD gives you almost anything that covers DANCE these days. ELECTRIC HOUSE with "Rocking Deejays" by PREZIOSO feat MARVIN orTONY MONTANA's attempt to "face lift" italian classic by RICCHI & POVERI "Mamma Maria" in style that BENASSI BROS brought to mainstream DANCE. There are more classic remakes (again!. Gee! aren't we tired of this already) like "Heat Of The Moment" in quasi-HOUSE style by DJ MANIAN, PHIL COLLIN'S "Easy Lover" in CHEVALLIER & TOBI DIAMOND HOUSE interpretation. Of course first CD features also other styles like EURO/TRANCE flavored "Open Your Eyes" by CERA or "Odin" by BEAM, TECHNO driven "Techno Rocker" by BASE ATTACK. Second CD retains that contemporary feelings. Actually it starts with very laid back, summer kinda feel with "Mapouka" by YAMBOO, followed by LATINO-influenced "Shake Your Balla" by HOT BANDITOZ. DJ DEEP used "Alarma" tune as a jingle for this one. Kinda cool! "Un Monde Parfait" by ILONA represents French DANCE tune with interesting kiddy influence (female childish vocalise). With progression of the mix music style is starting to change, pace increases, drama rises. "Love Can't Save You" by CLUBBTICKET is a fantastic combination of EURO and TRANCE synths topped by male vocals. Hot Hot Hot! Yeah, it moves toward more angelic TRANCE sound. "Ballerina" by ADAM WHITE feat. MARTIN GRECH is unforgettable VOCAL TRANCE fare with soaring synths and seductive vocals. Positively mesmerizing. There is much more to discover and enjoy! Trust me. Again, I prepared mix with 16 tunes taken from both CD with length of tracks and original mixing retained. Enjoy the sound and of course get it when you still can!

Title: Trancemaster 4009 reviewed on 01/09/06 Label: 2005 Vision Soundcarriers / Rough Trade (Germany) Style: Big Room Trance Index #: 302 4129.2
Review:
I am late with the review of "Trancemaster 4009" from VISION SOUNDCARRIERS. This issue was released back on November 28th, 2005, and next volume is set to hit streets in the end of January. This series is in my opinion the signature of club TRANCE sound. It keeps delivering riveting electronica to be plug right into dancefloor. This issue continues with this traditions. If you are a DJ or simply fan of the style, you cannot afford to pass this of 22 outstanding fares that would fill any TRANCE-oriented floor. As far as I remember this series was previously produced by PULSEDRIVER, however this volume does not have him credited. Well... I always admired production and selection for this series, so whoever is behind this series now, this person should be commended for keeping high standard set for TRANCEMASTER releases. As usually this is a set of CDs. From my point of view (the guy who falls into BIG ROOM TRANCE) first CD fits better bill. First CD starts with "Angels And Demons" (hmmm... is the title influenced by DAN BROWN's book?) by ARMAS. WOW! This track start at fast pace at TECHNO teritory, but it matures into unbelievable sensual BIG ROOM TRANCE to die for. I simply love this melodic line and angelic strings. An electronica avangarda at it's best. "Skyline" by KUFFDAM + PLANT continues this style with similar power and equally dazzling and beautiful in it's own right. OLIVER PRIME in "Shining" moves into darker field. This fare is haunting and beautiful, yet simultaneously dark and aggressive with a powerfully bottom that keeps pumping throughout each magificent level. BIG ROOM TRANCE feel dominates also in other tunes. For instance "Frozen Memories" by PHIL GREEN & S.H.O.K.K. contains such section in otherwise commercial fare. The tune is worth of attention just because of it. "Day After Tomorrow" by MUSIKMAN (AKA MARCOS) also similar values. Combination of amazing build-ups and breaks with agressive bottom line. Another big room extravaganza. More spectacular TRANCE sound you will find in such tunes as "Close To Crash" by A300 or "Evolution" by THREE DRIVES to name the few. Second CD is attractive too, however truly BIG ROOM TRANCE sound is limited to two composions: "Zonderland" (YES! another mix by CARL B) by ACUES + ELITIST and "Con Spirito" by TRIUM SE. You will find on this second CD also other tunes that are classified as TRANCE, but you will encounter variety of flavors that style delivers. In summary, yet another great release from this series you cannot afford missing. I have prepared a mix containing 12 tunes taken from both CDs. For now enjoy the sound and buy this offering. It is worth it. If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com
