"This is just an awesome cd. If you're having a party, you can play both of these CDs all night and everyone will be groovin. EVERYONE i've played this for has been asking me about it. Great if u like a trance sound w/out the repetition. By the way, if anyone knows of other cd's or dj's that have this sound, please email me..."

"I heard this compilation the first time about a year ago when a friend brought it over for a party I was throwing. I had heard Matt Darey's talents before as far as remixes go with an Erasure remix he had done a while before that I liked a lot. If you're looking for dark or hard trance then do not buy this you will not enjoy it. However if you're looking for a good mix of upbeat progressive and epic trance then you should grab this without a doubt. The flow on the entire set is great, Darey keeps the energy going and rising throughout. The very first track alone is worth it if you don't have it on any other cd's already. If your tastes run to harder/darker stuff you may consider a lot of the tracks on here cheesy and I can understand that p.o.v, but as I said, fans of epic trance will enjoy for sure so give it a shot if you are."
The best trance cd ever. seriously.

"When I first got into trance a while back, I thought nothing could beat Paul Oakenfold's "Tranceport". I was proven wrong. This mix, the best I've heard thus far from the Euphoria series, is the true epitome of trance. Pure anthems, no filler. Disk1 starts off with Solar Stone's playful "Seven Cities" and moves through your various anthems until it comes up to the exclusive "Wizards Of The Sonic (Matt Darey Mix)" where all of your troubles are washed away. This track is absolutely brilliant, using a soulful vocal sample to intensify the sweet rhythms brought forth from one sweet synth line. A keeper. Towards the middle of the disk, it gets kind of vocal and mysterious, and tops off at the end with some more melodic trance. Disk2 starts off haunting and emotionitive with Chicane's "Saltwater" and moves through some darker corners of trance. It reaches a sonic orgasm as it hits M3's fabulous "Bailamos" which is about as energetic as things can get. The mix moves around and tweaks about before going into Sasha's classic "Xpander", which is not used to it's fullest impact, but works with bringing in a house-ier sound. The last few tracks are hard house, which differs from the previous tracks, but the vibe remains nonetheless. Both disks are great. I really can't say enough about this CD, except don't be afraid to pay a steep import price and BUY."
Hey, buy it already, OK?

"40+ reviews, 5 star average rating. 'Nuff said. Matt Darey does an expectional mixing job on these 2 discs. Worth the higher price."
