"This is the mix set nobody knows about. This is that double disc set you pray to find. I bought A Trip In Trance not knowing what to expect.
CD 1 (mixed by Hiver and Hammer) is one of the best trance mixes I've ever heard, hands down. Every song man!!! EVERY FRIGGIN SONG!!! I've heard these some of these songs (Mistral, Far From In Love, and Let The Light Shine In) on other mixes but they sound their absolute best here. Each song individually is superb, but Hiver and Hammer add their own flair over the entire mix. It has gut-wrenching peaks, deep bass lines, and sickening highs. CD 1 IS A DREAM. I mean, tears of joy I cry for this masterpiece. This mix will send you on a voyage inside yourself. All you gotta do is play the whole thing through, but do it loud... and on a hi-fi audio system. Of course you know this is perfect driving music as well. If I were you, I would buy this mix, even if the second disc isn't even inside the case. If Let The Light Shine In doesn't give you goosebumps, you don't have a pulse. Far From in Love - CLASSIC. Both of these tracks have moved me to tears. The vocal trance tracks here are the best out there. The ones without vocals are just as good. I cannot rave enough about this mix. GTR - MISTRAL - THIS WILL MAKE YOU DRIVE LIKE A MANIAC. Northern Lights - this one builds and sustains... oh where to go on such a high? ---- I'm gonna put it like this: The opening - Pearl by Midtone... LET'S YOU KNOW what you're getting into. And right after that, Sonorious w/ Protronic takes the mix to an orbit outside this solar system... THE FIRST TIME YOU LISTEN TO THIS MIX - just put it in... after the first two tracks, you should be convinced for life.
Although the second disc pales in comparison to the first, it's still pretty good. It's harder, faster, and more dense than disc one, and some may like that. Emotion and Daydream are the best tracks here, and Touching the Sky works great as the opener. However, some of the tracks on this mix sound a little repetitive. Disc two seems to be more hardcore than disc one...
I've had more time to listen to disc 2 - and I have to say that DJ Esquille is awesome as well. His song selection is amazing. Disc 2 takes much longer than disc 1 to grow on you... but by the time it does, you'll understand why.
ANYWAY... this set is worth buying JUST BECAUSE of Disc 1. BUY THIS NOW!!! NOW!!! NOW!!! ONE OF THE BEST TRANCE MIXES EVER!!!"
Pretty good

"It's good but not spectacular. Most of them are "you listen to it once and you forget about it" songs. The only songs that I went to play back again were "Otro Dia" and "Touching the Sky". Not as good as I hoped based on these reviews."
Best trance CD i own

"this CD was just...amazing, it compiles the best in trance from all over Europe into two amazing mixes
CD 1 is slightly better than 2 but both are quite good, and if you are into female vocal trance this NEEDS to be in your collection
the best songs on the CD are:
Pearl (great for the dance floor with a great backbeat; sounds clearer than any other song ive ever listened to im not sure why)
5 Million Miles
Mistral (i wish there were vocals in this song but it still has the aura and feel of a good trance song, again with a nice backbeat)"
Classical mix

"This trance compilation is what launched my interest into trance. A quick look at the DJs feature attest to the album's strength in delivering an etheral experience. It is two disc. The second disc is weaker but with some notable songs. I wish HiBas and Water Music were still together as the label for the Trip in Trance series. The latter albums loses the inspiration and poignancy this album carries with it.
