"CD1: After the warm up with Carl cox, we follow a very good cd wih Recognisable Trance less Diverse compared to CD 2, although there are some here that have only been released at the time of me writing this! (oh has anyone seen Skyscraper -'The Hymn' anywhere yet? )We have some soft Trance or "nice" Trance with Lustral 'Everytime', Hybrid, Thrillseeker's "Synthanesia", Matt dareys "Liberation" (Ferry Corsten Remix)and not forgetting Chicane's "Saltwater" (Disco Citizens Remix)CD2: On here more hardcore tech/Trance than the first CD and Ultimately this CD is the best of the two! The tracks are all great on this side, giving an excellent mix.IN GENERAL: This is a CD that no Trance fan should be without! It is one of the best because of the number of fresh new tracks that no other CD compliation were using, making it worth your money even if you have other Trance Compliations! The only complaint is the heavy use of editing to fit the compliation, making many tracks short and sweet, leaving you wanting more. But anyway I reckon this CD is one of the best compilations you can buy and get value and enjoyment out of it. Non - Clubbers should keep clear of it though."
I wish I could give it more than 5 stars

"I consider myself a serious progressive house/trance fan. This album is on my top three list(along with Oakenfold Resident At Cream, Christopher Lawerence Rise). It is great to dance to or just listen at home and relax. Every song on the first cd is great. If you are not crazy about trance, this may not be the album for you. But if you like Oakenfold or Nick Warren or Sasha, this is a must buy"
A most incredible journey through an ultimate set of remixes

"This CD set is Phenomenal! The Lustral "Everytime" is so beautifully part of this mix that if I were to die I'd want this CD to be in heavy rotation in Heaven. That song version is my song to the Love of my Life - Cari - because "evertime I close my eyes.. I see your face.." I hope she can hear it one day.. This is not a CD set to miss. The whole series is exceptional. If you like this go for the Global Underground Series as well. Peace, Love, Unity, Respect and Balance to all."
Close your eyes and wake up to heaven

"It's verry rare to have an album that doesn't require you to skip over songs. And it's even more rare to find an album that you keep listening over and over again. Well this album is both!It has got a true euphoric feel to it from start to end. All tracks are a touch of heaven and there are no "fillers" (those tracks that are just an annoying beat that runs on for five min.)This album is the very definition of the true blissful sensation you get when you close your eyes to Trance music and wake up to heaven.For all the true Trance lovers that are looking for a euphoric melody in their music, this album is it. In my opinion,this is one of the best albums you can get of the genre.Other albums that can compare are the Ibiza euphoria by Matt Darrey and the second cd of Gatecrasher black. This album represents the peak of Trance music. Eventhough it might not be the lattest compilation to come out, it definately has a feeling that newer ones don't."

"i bought this set at the recommendation of a very good dj friend. all i can say is unbelievable i was so upplifted by the mix that I was literaly on a journey. I only found one fault, and that was the 9pm till i come mix it was lowkey and not as bouncy as the sequential one rmx which i thought would have been good. if you love progressive trance you will love this set"
