Sky P. (kalanaka) from PORTLAND, OR Reviewed on 6/23/2010...
This is a high-energy trance disc spun by Andy Hughes of the Orb. Fantastic build-up and breakdowns that make you want to dance hard but then give you cool keyboard breaks or trippy samples so you have time to breath air before throwing yourself back into heavy dance mode. I love the Bruce Willis samples from the 12 monkeys film during the track 'Crazy People'. He also does up a Moby track in a trance way that is not boring, uninspired, and over-played like so much of Moby's stuff.
CD Reviews
A Must-Have for your Trance collection!

"Well mixed, deep melodic tracks filled with enough energy to light a stadium. Buy this CD for a friend or family member who hasn't had much exposure to trance music. They may or may not like it immediately, but they will love it eventually."

"This is the first mix cd I bought by Andy Hughes and I was not disappointed. This is a great cd. This was a great selection of tracks, all mixed perfectly. If you are still a little new to this kind of music, like I am, this will be a good starting cd. Well worth the price and the wait."
Great progressive trance/house CD

"This is definitely a nice solid progressive sound CD. It starts off very mellow and then by track 4 builds to that great 4am music. Andy Hughes then takes it up and down through peaks and valleys, but in a smooth way. He does a great job in using some remixes that have 'haunting' vocals. Some points towards the end arent as "thumping" as I usually like, but still has enough energy. Definitely a good pick if you like the progressive sound found at many raves today."
