This is called Trance

"This is a great trance album. Granted, it's not the best out there. And it's very general trance. But I think the previous reviewers must have been expecting something else. A LOT of trance is somewhat repitious - thus inducing a trance-like state. I have heard trance attempts that got TOO repititious, and this is not it. There are a few songs here that could have been better, but none of them are bad. If you just want break beats and drum & bass, go check out Digital Empire: DJ Girl. Plenty of that there. If you want good general trance, get this album. If you want GREAT goa trance, check out Hallucinogen (Shpongle) and Pleiadians."

"This compilation includes some really good tracks hidden between many mediocre ones. Highlights include a nicely shortened version of Robert Miles' "Children" (#6), the very trance-y "Cosmic" (#7), and the high-energy "Silent Wishes" (#10). The other tracks are disappointing, especially since many of them don't even sound vaguely like trance music. Track 1, for example, sounds like a theme song for some low-budget spy movie, and track 11 is a lame attempt at drums-and-bass. Overall I suppose it's worth the purchase for the good tracks, but be warned you'll only ever want to listen to four or five tracks on this whole CD."
