Cool songs, but just another commercial trance compilation t

"Ok. First off this cd is pretty expensive. But it has some cool high energy trance songs that are very catchy and could be played as background music at a party or etc. Other than that this cd is pretty pathetic. I personally think Tracks 1,5,11,12 and 13 were the best songs on this cd but besides those highlights the rest are typical pathetic trance songs and trance remakes of other trance songs. Also the mixing of this cd is worthless, i noticed that they used all radio edits on all the songs on this cd and you can tell that at the last 10 seconds of each track they start rushing in the next song which makes the music seem like it was all clipped together. You can definitely tell when listening closely to the lead out of "tess - the second you sleep" going into "kassi - threw it all away" which in my sense gives it all away.



In the long run this is a good cd to have if you're a beginner trying to get into typical commercial trance songs that usually get airplay on the radio. For you average trance listeners i'd buy this cd if you catch it at a clearence sale or etc but i'd advise to stick to the Dream Dance and Ministry of sound compilations because 1, dream dance is unmixed radio edits of the best trance and house. And ministry of sound offers the same and at least mixes their music way better than they did on this cd."

Met my expectations

"In comparison to its four predecessors, Trance Party Vol.5 is simply good but not great. I have noticed that there is a larger presence of female vocalists in this compilation which does add an effeminate popish taste to it. But the melodies are very enjoyable and the transitions blend the tracks very well. In my perspective, I was a big fan of the previous Trance Party Volumes (especially vol.2) and this volume did not harm the series in anyway. However, don't expect to draw new people into the genre of trance with this CD, pick up Vol.2 for that."

Pretty good.

"Up to par with the usual Trance Party CDs.

Some really good tracks, and some that are kind of boring.

All in all, pretty good trance music.



[and yes, the majority are about love..just like the majority of trance tracks, period.]"
