"Great track selection and perfect mixing on this one. Stand-out tracks being: the Farmatronic remixes of Miro"Paradise" and 3Drives on Vinyl"Greece 2000", along with the Hybrid remix of Energy 52's "Cafe Del Mar" and their own track "Kill City" (which most of us can't find on vinyl anymore),and the Nutribe remix of "No Resolve" by Fade(Chris's own production group). This cd just makes you want to play it again when it's done. Nice job Chris.-------And to J.K.Parks, you're not spoiled, you just haven't gotten tired of the same old beats with the same old samples. Give it time. Your tastes will mature, it's a natural progression. No offense to Simply Jeff, I like him and I like what he does, but he hasnt spun anything different or refreshing in 2 or 3 years now. If you want to be blown away by awesome breaks done by a group that actually makes music, as opposed to sitting in front of a computer with a sampler and a midi controller, check out the new L.P. from Hybrid,"Wide Angle".--G"

Simply one of the best sets ever

"From start to finish, this one is a melodic journey that is emotional, fierce and beautiful. The tracks chosen are all of the best released, with the smoothest breaks and hypnotizing vocals that create a unique and true progressive house sound. Chris' own "No Resolve" moves into "Path to Redemption" in an unbelievable climax. Wrapping it up with "Summer Breeze" reminds me of a 7am club closer. Chris' mixes are flawless as usual. I bought this when it first came out years ago, and it's still a regular in my deck. You need this CD."

The breaks were a trip~

"This is a good compilation. Fortier takes you on a journey of trancy soundscapes and melodies. It starts off great, it ends off great too. But like most DJ compilations the middle tracks were weak at times - but that just makes the last ones sound that much better. Definetly worth owning if you like the melodies of trance more than the beats."
