CD ReviewsWell rounded album Anthony W. Olbrich | Boise, ID USA | 02/21/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "interesting a collection of some of the better trance songs. When i first looked at this CD, I didn't know of some of the songs, but after listening to it i was pleasantly surprished. The songs are somewhat long, 6, 7 minutes long and IS contiunally mixed. Most of the songs have a fairly long intro, building up, whatever you call it to lead into the "hook", then it on some of the songs it repeats the the hook again, thats why the songs can get so long. The frist CD has some good stuff. I mainly listen to it for Cafe Del Mer, just a beautiful song (with a 2 and half minute long intro) and Gouryella, cuz all their whole four tracks they have ever put out is genius. Oh and sandstorm's on it, im sure most of you peeps have heard it, but this remix isn't bad, worth a listen. Didn't really like this version of ATB's 9pm, but its still better than the songs after it on disc 1. thought they sounded very similiar, got the female vocals going on some of them, i just couldn't get into the other tracks at the end of disc 1. Disc 2 is in my opinion the better of the two. especially the end tracks. Like "1998', "Feel the beat', and "anomaly calling your name". This version of Binary Fusion "1998" is one of the better ones i heard, and trust me have heard a bunch of them, its a popular song. Just in general this album is worth the money to go get, its also worth the time to listen to." Amongst the Best Trance Compilations Out There! Anthony W. Olbrich | 01/03/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "The name of these two CDs sum it all up: Trance Classics. They are indeed pure classic Trance songs. What I especially like about "Trance Classics" is that the cheesy vocal trance isn't used much. The songs are therefore just the pure masterpieces of the Trance world. Whoever put this compilation together has a very good taste for Trance music. You will find all the classics like "Sandstorm", "Children", "Zombie Nation", and many many many more solid hits. There is hardly a song that I will skip. It's all continuously mixed too which is great if you are trying to throw your own Trance party and need to keep the crowd jumpin. This CD is an ABSOLUTE must in any trance collection. I own many many Trance Compilations and this one is by far one of the best out there. You can't go wrong with this one." Perfect for beginners Za'chary Westbrook | Salem, OR | 04/29/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Trance, of all the electronic genres, has had the most mainstream acceptance. Trance Classics is just that. These are some of the greatest Trance songs ever made. However, for those of us who have been into underground for a while, these are almost equivalent to 'The Macarena'. But if you're just getting into underground, this is the perfect starting point.Though ATB's '9 PM (Till I come)' and Kernkraft's 'Zombie Nation' have found themselves in such widespread club play as to get scratched by the likes of ultra-pop-spinner DJ Skribble, a lot of these are totally obscured from the mainstream. Chicane's 'Saltwater', which he did with Gospel/Celtic singer Maire Brennan, got most of it's limelight in Canada and the UK. 'Anomaly' by Libra p Taylor (written by BT) has probably appeared on more soundtracks and comp. CDs than Fluke's 'Atom Bomb' or 'Absurd (Whitewash Mix)'. Though none of these artists are surprising, seeing two offerings from Darude is a little bit of eyebrow raiser. The offerings from Moby and Paul van Dyke are also surprising. One would expect 'Porcelain' way before 'Why does my heart feel so bad?', and the same is true for PvD's 'Words (For Love)' vs. 'For an Angel'. 'Cafe del Mar' (the Techno world's Woodstock) and '1998' are mainstays of Trance music and, along with Three drives on Vinyl's 'Greece 2000' and Transa's 'Enervate', were the tracks that made the original Tranceport as well as Paul Oakenfold famous. BT's 'Godspeed' is indisputably one of his best works (though I think 'Mercury and Solace' tops it by a long-shot); and 'Not over yet' by Grace has had more remixes than Delerium f Sarah McLachlan's 'Silence'.This is a perfect starting point for a solid Trance collection, but if you've been around the genre a while, it's nothing you haven't heard (repeatedly) before."
