"The new sound of trance lately has been the mix of techno, progressive house, and trance. This is the worst in the A Trip in Trance series. What happened to the dreamscape, melodic trance from this early decade?"

No Longer Trance, and a long trip from what it used to be

"With a title like "From Trance to Progressive" you would believe that the songs on this CD would take the flowing euphoric/melodic trance that made the previous works great and add to it with more progressive sounds. Sadly, on this album progressive seems to mean one-hit "trance-pop" wonders like dogzilla, with catchy vocal tracks, a repeated chorus, and unnecessary breakdowns instead of melodies. Fans of Armin Van Buuren's weekly radio show A State of Trance will probably enjoy this CD, but any fans of the older A Trip in Trance compilations will find it shallow and wanting."
