DJ JURGEN - Volume 3 -  reviewed
on 12/16/00Label: 2000 ID&T/Arcade Music(Norway) Style: Techno Index #: BITCD 16 |
|
| Review: | |
While DJ JURGEN
did not recently record any new tune, he is still doing his DH work.
So here we have the volume 3 of the mix he did. CD features 16 mostly
TECHNO tracks. In majority we have mostly
club oriented tunes that shift from main stream. The CD starts with
The beggining is HOUSY indeed, starting with GROOVY
"Artificial Dust" by OREON
GROOVE PROJECT KENNY D setting the mood for clubbing. The speed
increases with next tune "Dutch Drum Attack"
by E-GRAIG. Once in TECHNO-HOUSE
mood you will also get to hear "Everybody"
by 2000 BC. After this one you will enter more PROGRESSIVE-TECHNO
oriented world with "Bells Of Revolution"
by LEMON B. Very good tracks follows: "Come
With Me" by OUT OF GRACE with thundering intro it
explodes into a hypnotic sound. If you really want to be taken be sweeping
synths and pulsating electronics you gotta listen to "The
Forgotten Dream" by I-CHING. This fare kicks major
... Truly hypnotic, beat-driven bassline. Great buy. If you prefer
TRANCE, you gotta listen "You Take My Breath
Away" by SUREAL (I am sure you are familiar with
this one by now), or "Mu-V Express"
by JACCOT. This tune is epic circuit stunner. Female opera-like
vocals, intense sweeping synths and overall maginificient production.
Taken together be prepared for next high-flying ride with DJ JURGEN
and the music. Very good indeed combination of various club styles in
one pot. If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

Tunnel Trance Force - Vol. 15
reviewed on 12/09/00 Label: 2000 Sony Music Media (Germany) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: 501293 2 |
|
| Review: | |
New edition of "Tunnel
Trance" is out and it is packed with 36 essential TECHNO/TRANCE
fares mixed as usually by DJ DEAN. Be prepared for a hot journey.
This double set is continuosly mixed, state-of-the-art tracks were hand-picked
by DJ DEAN and choices are outstanding. The first CD subtitled as "X-mas
Mix", starts with "In Full Effect"
by LIQUID BASS. A fine production loaded with dynamic synths
and irresistibly energetic dance beats. Of course there are many like
these in this set. You have here well known tracks such current KOSMONOVA's
hit "Discover The World", MARIO's
LOPEZ - "The Sound Of Nature Part 2"
or already tiredsome "Sandstorm"
by DARUDE (I know, the track si good, but why every compilation
from TRANCE genre has to have it? Prolly
because it already became a classic). Not to worry, this set contains
also plethora or less known yet amazing tunes. Among them are such beauties
as "Trancefiguration" by GREEN
COURT. I was stunned by this synth driven bottom fare with powerful
hooks. The melodic line is simply spectacular. There are more like this.
"Teardrops In My Eyes" by CRIZZ
LEE is another perplexing TRANCE tune
with cosmic sound. Second CD is also very entertaining. More TECHNO
oriented though. It starts with massive PROGRESSIVE
"See The Day" by HYPETRAX,
followed by DJ RED 5 vs. DJ's @ WORK - "Rhythm
& Drums 2001". Of course, there are more to cherish.
I liked very much "Metropolis"
by K.BRANO. While it is TECHNO tune
it has TRANCE elements in it and mysterious
female vocals. Also darkly intense is "Falling"
by MONDRIAN with multilayered female vocals. It blows into full
opera hall sound with catchy synths. I have decided to feature in sound
sampler 9 songs taken both CDs. I didn't retain the original mixing,
so for that one you gotta get the real product. I strongly recommend
this particular set. For now enjoy the sound.If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

Dream Dance vol. 18
reviewed on 12/09/00 Label: 2000 Sony Music Media (Germany) Style: Dream/Trance Index #: 501222 2 |
|
| Review: | |
Few months passed and we
already have next installment from DREAM DANCE
series. While I was always looking forward into releases from this series,
I was a little bit dissapointed with volume 16. Maybe, because I already
heard too many TRANCE compilations these days. You have 40 songs to
choose from, however if you look at the track listing, you will see
many familiar names and titles. If you already purchased other comps,
this might not be a bargain for you, but if you didn't and waited for
this volume to come, you still might be the winner. With tracks like
"Silence" by DELERIUM
(featured Airscape Remix is priceless), "The
Fields Of Love" by ATB feat. YORK, "It's
My Turn" by ANGELIC, you simply cannot go wrong.
You will also find here some rare mixes. One of them is Conductor
and Cowboy remix of "Sky"
by SONIQUE. You gotta love this one. Scumptious new strings stabs
and a big phat new bottom have been added in this version, making this
even more attractive offering. For some slow motion DREAM-like
tune check intro for "Dreamland"
by UNDEE. The piano section is in there, yet you have some more
HOUSE strings invading this tune. "Into
The Inner Space" by !ATTENTION! is fare that should
send shrivers into your spine. Sorry, I fotgot to include this in sound
sampler. You will be thrilled by lucious bottom and amazing strings.
If you collect this series, you will probably will get it. For the sound
sampler I have chosen 9 tracks from both CDs. Enjoy the sampler and
make up your mind if you want this one or not, but keep in mind this
is just a sampler!If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

DJ Networx vol. 7
reviewed on 11/28/00 Label: 2000 Sony Music Media (Germany) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: 499661 2 |
|
| Review: | |
Finally volume 7 of the
compilation signed by TUNNEL and released by Sony. Few weeks ago we
had "Tunnel Trance Force vol. 14"
also from TUNNEL. Both releases were mixed as usually by DJ DEAN.
I know this particular series is very popular among you who enjoy quality
TRANCE/TECHNO sound. First CD is more devoted
to TRANCE sound. You will find here tracks
you already well know like BLANK & JONES - "DJ
Culture" that reached top dance Charts everywhere, LADY
TOM with her "House Of House"
and several others. Many interesting tunes. For example imagine ROLLING
STONES done in TRANCE! Yes, Really!
SFL did a remake of "Paint It Black".
I was impressed by intoxicatingly hypnotic synth and bass line in this
one. Very dramatic TRANCE sound is present in "You
Can't Stop Us" by TRANCE GENERATORS with soaring
synth lines and peak-hour. Another TRANCE
marvel is "Everlasting Dreams"
by TRANCE ACTION. You will also be amazed by smashing "A
Question of Faith" by HUNTER & LAUKS. Taken together
this first CD offers you a wide range of TRANCE
fares from truly club oriented to more commercial sound. Very good indeed.
The second CD caters more into TECHNO sound.
This disc starts with "F (Future Is now)"
by DJ SCOT PROJECT. Full of kicks and bass lines. Featured Hardriff
Mic caters more into DRUM'N'BASS flavor.
For more PROGRESSIVE side turn to ELASTIC
CULTURE, DJ Scot Project Remix of BLANK & JONES's "Thunder
In Paradise" or "Bassmachine"
by DJ OVERDOG. Several hard TECHNO HOUSE
tunes are featured as well, just to mention "Scream"
by AROME or "House Is Mine"
by DIABLO. So taken together, volume 7 is an interesting offering
for all of you club fanatics. I prepared sound sound sampler with 9
tunes taken from both CDs. I mentioned this comp is mixed by DJ DEAN.
He has done a good job, yet I didn't retain the original mixes. I focused
more on tracks thna mixing, but if you will get your own copy, you will
see that mixing itself is quite good. Enjoy the sound and trip
to fantasy!If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

Kosmonova presents Schubkraft vol. 3
reviewed on 11/28/00 Label: 2000 Dos Or Die (Germany) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: 3332010 2 |
|
| Review: | |
Mea culpa that I didn't
review previous volumes, but at least let me start with volume 3. Better
late than never! This volume contains 2 CD. The first one has 20 full
length tracks while the second one is mixes by KOSMONOVA. Similar
to above reviewed compilation we are blessed with great dance tracks
carefully chosen to make this set a unique one. The drawback of this
comp is the track listing. If you are collecting comps from TRANCE/TECHNO
sound you might not find this extremely attractive, but otherwise the
choices are indeed very good. In first CD you will find top club tunes
like "Sandstorm" by DARUDE
(probably the most often played tunes this summer), MARIO PIU
with his excititing and beautifully crafted marvel "Techno
Harmony". Also artists and DJs like BLANK & JONES,
MARIO LOPEZ, HYPETRAXX are featured as well. This CD features also
"Australia 2000", by KOALA.
Group revamped this tune for 2000, making this tune essential for mainstream
floor. Beautiful female vocals with intense sweeping synths. For another
soaring synth lines and magnificent melodic line you should check "Set
U Free" by ALEX ROCCO. The second CD, as I mentioned
before is mixed by KOSMONOVA. This mix containing 19 tunes starts
with his own "Discover The World",
his current hit. You will find in this mix several dance styles, from
more TECHNO-HOUSE oriented fares to full
blown glorious TRANCE. Some tracks
you already should know just to mention FLOORFILLA - "Anthem
#4", GITTA - "No More
Turning Back", LIGHTFORCE - "Dream
Of Dolphins", some of them are new to me. I was particularly
excited with new tune by FIOCCO - "The
Music". I am fan of this project, and they delivered as
usually very dynamic and dramatic, full-blown EURO-TRANCE
with stirring synths and vivid female vocals. I also found C.J. Stone
Remix of "7th Day" by MR.
PHILLIPS quite entertaining. The CD is closed by starling "!Sexomatic"
tune from DJ JAM X vault. Very appealing and aggressive TRANCE
tune. A perfect finish for perfect mix. In sound sampler I featured
7 tracks taken from both CDs. Enjoy!If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

Trancemaster 26
reviewed on 11/19/00 Label: 2000 Vision Soundcarriers / Zomba (Germany) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: 302 4099-2 |
|
| Review: | |
The series of TRANCEMASTER
has been on the market for several years (since 1994 I believe), yet
I never had a chance to review any of the release. Now it is a time
to do something about it, especially since more and more enthusiasts
of TRANCE genre visits eurodancehits.com.
What makes this series so attractive is choice of tracks. Not only having
best of the best from the genre, but very often they are not part of
the mainstream sound you hear here or there. It is actually truly club
oriented set of tunes and always in extended, sometimes hard to get
versions (that explains why "only" 23 tunes on both CDs).
This is also very true for this, already 26th volume. You will be amazed
by richness of the sound and incredible atmosphere this set delivers.
Listening to "World Of Love"
by VAN GOTT in The Hayloft Mix you will freeze in disbelief.
Such a wonderful, high-flying TRANCE production
with heavenly synths and angelic female vocals throughout! In similar,
transcendental mood is "Dreamworld"
by RED WING. It's another full-throttle TRANCE
monster rising high in soaring synths waves! Very dramatic with exciting
bits of female vocals! Speaking of female vocals, it is very interesting
how many TRANCE artists using them to add
mystery and sensuality to their tracks. It was also used by DJ-TOM-X
in "Free Your Feelings" to achieve
additional effect and it worked perfectly. Also DARK MOON's "Virtual
Mind" monster tune that will keep you running for more than
7 minutes with it's rollecoaster ups and downs emplyed femalie vocals.
You will be ecstatic about well embeded orchestration. In other tune:
"Sunrise At Palamos" by M.I.K.E.
reverbed monk-type male vocals were used instead in the background.
The outcome is quite interesting and powerful. When you will check the
track listing, you probably will recognize titles you already know like
"Ahmea" by DJ NATRON &
REVERB pres. FLUTLICHT, "Strings Of Infinity"
by TOPMODELZ, "Devotion"
by YAHEL and several others. But again, let me remind you that
you are presented with full club-oriented versions, so you can't go
wrong! This set is really something you should try. If you like FERRY
CORSTEN sound or DJ TIESTO (one of his original song and
one remix are featured here as well) you will be extremely pleased with
this offering. I featured 6 songs taken from both CDs for your enjoyment!
You will love every second of it :-)If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

Mad About The Boy 6
reviewed on 11/11/00 Label: Klone Records/Rumour Records (England) Style: High Energy/Dance Index #: CDKOPY 122 |
|
| Review: | |
I have been neglecting
fans of HIGH ENERGY for sometime now, so
let me control the damage. Let me start from U.K. releases. In last
several weeks I have received several releases from KLONE RECORDS.
I keep reviewing them usually when they come, but now I am pretty much
delayed. So be prepared for reviews coming on thie releases. Today let
me present you with volume 6 of their quite popular "Mad
About The Boy" series. With set of two CD you are being
treated with top notch HI-NRG sound and
all featured tracks are brand new and at their Club versions. Among
featured artists you will find TERESA MARIE with her two brand
new tracks: "Life Is A Rollercoaster"
and "Harmony" released as single
back in September 2000. This is her debut on KLONE. For the first one
she teamed with Manchaster production outfit Boyz With Toys (DJs:
Ross Alexander and MR. B). "Harmony"
was originally recorded by HI-NRG Diva
HAZELL DEAN as ballad back on her album "Heartfirst".
Now Marie Teresa gave it more updated and uplfifting sound. I
am sure also other artists will bring you joy. For instance fans of
CHEKMATE will find her 2 new titles "Turn
Back The Hands Of Time" and "Seasons
In The Sun". Both truly oustanding HI-NRG
marvels. Also new material from RE4FORMATION, KRIME, DIVA DELUX
and other are being featured. If you were in search for good, uplifting
HI-NRG, you are now in luck! Great set
of twent tunes! Great music, Great beat, great dance! Get it !!! For
sound sampler I created mix containing 6 tracks from this release. I
hope it will help you to make your purchase decision! Enjoy! For more information about this and another releases please visit Klone/Rumour Records on line. |

The Best Of C.C. Catch - The Ultimate Collection
reviewed on 11/11/00 Label: 2000 BMG Ariola (Germany) Style: High Energy Index #: 74321 758962 |
|
| Review: | |
Time for CLASSIC
HIGH ENERGY. If you are devoted to classic sound of MODERN
TALKING, BLUE SYSTEM, FANCY or BAD BOYS BLUE you are probably
familiar with C.C. CATCH. Caroline Catharina Müller
(real name of C.C. CATCH) started her singing career back in
early 80's. What really made her famous was a close collaboration with
Dieter Bohlen of MODERN TALKING. He wrote virtually all
her songs during period of 1986-1988. During that period of time she
released 5 albums and 12 singles. This compilation entitled "The
Best Of C.C. Catch - The Ultimate Collection" brings
back the memory of that time. Triple CD compilation contains 40 titles
and 2 Megamixes (one is Short and another in Long Version). You will
find here here mega hits like "Heartbeat
Hotel", "Like A Hurricane", "Backseat Of Your Cadillac"
"Heaven And Hell", "'Cause You Are Young", "Stranger
By Night " and many, many more. The title really stands
for an ULTIMATE collection. C.C. CATCH has a powerful and sweet voice
that brings the sound to a higher level. At the time of original recording
of these song by C.C. CATCH, MODERN TALKING itself was
taking European dancefloor by the storm. No wonder than, by the feel
of her songs and MODERN TALKING is the same. After all Dieter
Bohlen wrote what he liked the most and extrapolated them to C.C.
CATCH songs. You might draw the conclusion that Caroline
herself didn't have her input, and you are actually right. As a matter
of fact Dieter didn't let her. That was the reason why C.C.
CATCH left him as her producer and writer and chosen her own path.
Regardless, that was the time when she got her fame. I am extremely
pleased to present you with this collection. It is truly a rare occasion
to have an outstanding set with such a great sound, without need to
dig to comps that have some single titles from her. Here you have them
all, conveniently wrapped in one set. If you miss here 98 releases featuring
Megamixes with rap performed by Krayzee, you are lucky. Mixes
are here as well. For sound sampler I picked 9 titles (3 from each CD)
and I made a medley for your enjoyment! Make yourself a nice Christmas
Gift! I am sure you will enjoy it better than Playstation 2 :-)For more information about C.C CATCH visit her site at: www.cccatch.com If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

Techno Club - Vol. 11
reviewed on 10/21/00 Label: 2000 Sony Music Media / Dance Division(Germany) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: 500681 2 |
|
| Review: | |
I never reviewed this
series, partially because I never got it before. This is definately
very interesting one since it feaures "battles" of DJs. Each
release has two CDs and each of the CD is mixed by one DJ. This issue
features icon of TECHNO sound: TALLA
2XLC as well as PULSEDRIVER. Both CDs are mixed and contains
incredible sound. The first CD is mixed by TALLA 2XLC. Seems
he also shifted from hard TECHNO toward
more TRANCE sound. Actually more aggressive
TRANCE if you will. His mix starts with
"Make A Dream" by BISMARK.
Well.. this is TECHNO. Featured Extended
Mix is a pounding tune right from the beginning. Big room stomper to
prepare dance floor for more to come. This tune flawlessly extends to
TRANCE oriented "Nexus
Point" by ROLAND KLEIN that sets the mood for following
tunes. Among them are "Atmosphere"
by PHONETIC with uplifting synths and monstereous bottom. Many
great choices TALLA 2 XLC executed in his mix. Tracks like "Tribal
Dance" by CANALOGUE, revamped classic HOUSE
track by LIL LOUISE "French Kiss"
done in TECHNO/TRANCE by NIGHTCLUB
with KILLER French female vocals and many others makes his mix an excellent
dance experience. Also PULSEDRIVER delivered first rate mix.
His starts with high beat, synth-driven monster "Devotion"
by YAHEL. Featured Armin Van Buuren Mix is a stunning
TRANCE with attitude! You will love hooks
and beatiful instrumental background with full orchestration elements
making this tune an ELECTRONIC/DREAM marvel.
I am telling you. The experience you will encounter cannot be described.
You will just fall into dimension you never knoew existed. Close your
eyes and let it drive you to the dreamland full of exctasy and adventure.
Also many other tracks on this mix that should give your mind a bit
of work like "Desire" by E.N.E.R.G.Y.
or crafted to perfection "Missing Link"
by ALPHA BREED. Taken together you are presented with the set
that should fulfill your desire for first rate, transcendental TRANCE
sound. Both mixes are technically good and content mind-blowing. Try
to find this CD, you will not regret it! I featured 8 songs taken from
both CDs. Whatever your feeling will be after listening to it, keep
in mind that I was not able to squeeze more tracks. You just gotta get
the real thing to enjoy! If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

|
| Review: | |
Seveal months ago SWG
Team prepared legal bootleg for Dance Network/ZYX called "TECHNO
MARATHON". You should be familiar with CHARTMIX
series that this team produces as well. If you like mixes like the one
I am featuring each month you will be delighted with this double CD
featuring 80 TECHNO and TRANCE
oriented tunes mixed to perfection. Indeed the mix is excellent and
content is superb. When you will check the track listing you will be
impressed by choices made for this release. Essential tunes from both
genres are here making this set a party stomper. You will also find
rare tracks that were not featured in any previously reviewed compilations
and albums. Still this set should be a good reference for some of you
who are searching for new tunes, but trust me it will do good as entertainment
in your car or fpr party. I picked 11 tracks for sound samplers . I
retained original mixing in consecutive tunes as well as their length.
This should give you an idea about featured music. Again, if you like
mixes this one is essential. You can't go wrong with it!. Enjoy superb
sound, get up and dance! If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

Trance Nation Four - Ferry Corsten
reviewed on 10/15/00 Label: Ministry Of Sound (UK) Style: Trance Index #: TNCD4 |
|
| Review: | |
Ministry of Sound a leading
TRANCE label and underground UK club released
four edition of TRANCE NATION series
featuring 40 songs mixed FERRY CORSTEN himself. He has been DJ
and producer sinc 1991 behind such projects as Starparty, Veracocha,
Gouryella, System F and others. In October 1999 Ferry was elected
'Producer of The Yeart' during Ericsson Muzik Award and in May 2000
his mix of "Barber's Adagio For Strings"
was awarded title 'Best Remix' in Dancestar 2000 awards. I am sure all
of you TRANCE music aficionado are already familiar with his music and
his mixing art. This compilation is yet another proof of his talent.
On first CD you will find several original FERRY CORSTEN mixes
of such tracks as "Revelation"
by Electrique Boutique, "I Need Your
Lovin'" by Marc et Claude and of course "Barber's
Adagio For Strings" by William Orbit. This particular
tune truly defines TRANCE sound. Both CD
contain a neverending adventure with ths sound. It's not just TRANCE
but also majestic TECHNO and PROGRESSIVE
with some other influences in between. Fans of CORSTEN's talent
will find this offering a delicious and unique item to be part of their
collection. For sound sampler I took 8 tracks from both CDs. I did not
retain original mixing, you probably know it is oustanding anyway. This
mix is just to show you what kind of music is featured and what you
should expect! Get it! If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

DJ GIANTS AT WORK - Vol. 1
reviewed on 09/24/00 Label: 2000 Zeitgeist/Polydor / Universal Musik (Germany) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: 543943 2 |
|
| Review: | |
This is brand new series
released together by Polydor and Universal Records (actually prepared
by Polystar Records that is currently a sublabel of UNiversal Records
Germany). This CD was released in July, but I received it yesterday.
It is very good so I decided to review it, even it it seems a little
bit late. Several factors makes this compilation current and very valuable.
First of each CD was mixed by either DJ MELLOW-D or PULSEDRIVER.
Both well known and highly reputable groups and DJs. The track listing
of both mixes is also very interesting and do contain some less known
or even unknown (to me) tracks. First CD is mixed by DJ MELLOW-D.
His mixing technique is well known so I will not focus on it, but what
was really interesting to see great selection od pure TRANCE.
He usually plays more TECHNO oriented tunes,
but this mix is in it's majority a TRANCE
one including his own new single "@ Night"
remixed by Sunbeam. I have to admit, amazing mix. I don't have
single so I do not know how other versions sound like, but trust me
you will be delighted with what Sunbeam did. Also new AIRWAVE
tune "Above The Sky" is introduced.
This is galloping TRANCE/RAVE tune. Even
if it sounds "monotonic" it still has power and incredibly
well synth-driven bottom. I also never heard before "Mutternkorn"
by DJ NATRON & REVERB pres. FLUTLICHT. Second CD is mixed by
PULSEDRIVER. Among featured titles you will find PULSEDRIVER's
own remixes of such tunes as "Remember"
by ASTRAL INC. or "Navigator"
by GARY D. or his own like "Your Spirit
Is Shining" remixed by Frank-E & Mars-I. I really
like this tune, it has a little bit of CHAKRA feeling if you
will, Lush, powerful and compeling tune with soaring synth lines. I
am sure you will like this one a lot. Same goes to "Rotate"
by FRANK-E & MARS-1. The synth work is simply irresistible.
Again, let me tell you this is one hot mix to enjoy! I am looking forward
into next volumes that I hope will be at least equallt good. Trust my
review and try to get this double CD compilation you will not regret
my recommendation. For the sound sampler I picked 8 tracks (4 from both
CDs), I do regret though I didn't put more, but to achieve acceptable
length of sound sampler, I did not have choice. I also did not retain
the original mixing, but I wanted to show you the richness of sound
featured in both CDs. Enjoy and run for it!If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

The Dome - Vol. 15
reviewed on 09/24/00 Label: 2000 BMG Ariola (Germany) Style: Top 40 Index #: 74321 78556 2 |
|
| Review: | |
"The
Dome" series similar to "VIVA
HITS", "BRAVO HITS"
caters to European version on TOP-40. You might asked why I actually
bothered to review the release that bring a various type of music and
you actually right! There was however the reason. When I look at the
track listing I realized that between tunes from HIP-HOP,
HOUSE, POP are some that do fall into EURO that did not appear
on recently reviewed compilations here on eurodancehits.com. First of
all there is a new tune from ATC called "My
Heart Beats Like A Drum" . Recently in single section I
reviewed their previous tune, but here you have their newest release.
Track itself is cute. It's still EURO but
heavily equipped with synth strings. I believe that both EURODANCE
and TRANCE fans will share their positive
feeling about this track. You will notice many tunes sung in German.
Among of them is "Ich bleibe wer ich bin"
by ZLATKO. I am not sure how much you know about German FOLK
music, but this particular track is a combination of
FOLK and EURO. Quite twisted combination
after all. Result however is quite interesting. It is happy and catchy
tune. Also another German spoken ALEX and "Willst
du?" presents you with quite dramatic EURO enriched with
spoken male vocal and female singing. My attention also caught new production
from Axel Breitung by defunct until now X-PERIENCE. "Island
Of Dreams" is brand new single. Well... not exactly EURODANCE,
rather crossover between X-PERIENCE and ENYA. Why I do
not mind listening to it, I hardly will dance into it. I am not sure
what other experiments Axel is conduction, but you better watch his
laboratory. The results my be unexpected! Most of other tracks presented
in this CD represents what's popular on German Radio with groups like
DIE TOTEN HOSEN, TIC TAC TOE and others. There are few TRANCE/TECHNO
tunes by KAI TRACID, MAURO PICOTTO or WARP BROTHERS and
AQUAGEN, but they were already featured in other compilations.
For sound sampler I have chosen 6 tracks more or less related to EURO,
that's all I could find in this genre.If you want to learn more about DOME Parties visit their site at: www.thedome.de If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit www.europemusic.com |

MAGIK SIX - Live In Amsterdam (mixed by DJ Tjësto)-reviewed
on 09/21/00 Label: 2000 Black Hole Recording (Holland) Style: Trance Index #: BLACK HOLE CD 15 |
|
| Review: | |
I am sure fans of DJ
TIËSTO will warmly welcome this brand new mix done by him.
DJ TIËSTO recorded that mix live on June 23rd at a WILDLIFE
event (a joint venture of Black Hole and Groove Lounge labels) that
takes place in Amsterdam four times a year. I, myself am true fan of
his talent. Not only as a DJ but also as a music writer and producer.
DJ TIËSTO became unquestionbly one of the most influencial and
sought after DJ and producer. This set containing 15 songs once again
shows his talent and taste of TRANCE he
likes to play for raving crowd. Choice of tunes for this mix is extraodinary.
Starting with "Fratty Boy"
by AFTERBURN written by Agnelli and Nelson sets
the euphoric climate for the party to come. With dramatic bottom and
exstatic synth work you are being driven into incredible TRANCE
experience lasting for next 77 minutes! You will love tracks like "Voyage"
by YAHEL, you will crave with "Surreal"
by FREE RADICAL, get nostalgic with "Purple
Cloud" by THE SWIMMER, pumped up by amazingly dramatic
"Viola" by MOOGWAI (Armin
Van Buuren's remix is simply above state of the TRANCE
art). DJ TIËSTO's own remix is featued in "Silence"
by DELERIUM. This one is a beauty with catchy synth lines and
explosive rhythm galore compliented by heavenly yet haunting female
vocals. Actually all featured tunes in this one incredible turntable
mix delivered by DJ TIËSTO are excellent. I guarantee you
unforgetable dance experience with this set. It's a MUST for
everybody who is serious about first rate TRANCE!
In sound sampler I featured 6 tracks and reatained original mixing tracks
(to show you DJ TIËSTO mixing technique) but signficantly
shortened to fit the sampler. All of them are in full length on the
CD. Please let me know what you think after you will get it!.If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

reviewed on 09/21/00 Label: 2000 Sony Music Media (Germany) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: 499966 2 |
|
| Review: | |
New edition of "Tunnel
Trance" is out and it is packed with 36 essential TECHNO/TRANCE
fares mixed as usually by DJ DEAN. This popular series established
itself already as one of the leading in this genre. This one is equally
good as previous releases and DJ DEAN did an outstanding job
of mixing tunes on both CDs. First CD starts with TECHNO tune "Phatt
Bass" by WARP BROTHERS vs. AQUAGEN. This one should
be already familiar, like other titles such new tune by KAI TRACID
- "Tiefenrausch" (I posted video
to this one in VIDEO Section)
"Silence" by KATANA as
well as many others. Let me focus your attention on Dark Moon Remix
of "I Need Your Lovin'" by MARC
ET CLAUDE. This mix is very impressive, and track itself is near
the top of every big-name European spinners playlist. This particular
mix has driving beats and epic, sweeping synth line. Plain floor-filling
glory at it's best! You also shouldn't miss Sunbeam Remix of "Just
Feel Free" by DUMONDE done in true Balearic style.
For thrilling experience you gotta check "Controlling
Transmission 2000" by FINAL FANTASY. Absolutely perfect
marvel to pack your dance floor. Equally pounding is Marc Van Linden
Extended mix of "Da Future" by
DJ TROOPER. Second CD is also loaded with amazing TRANCE
and TECHNO sound! It starts with fierce
"Mirage" by CLUB INVADERS
vs. MISS THUNDERPUSSY. If you haven't heard this track before be
prepared for quite an experience. If you into DARK
PROGRESSIVE sound don't forget to check Hypetraxx remix of "Fog
Desire" by MC JUMP. Uplifting "Dark
Horizon" by DARK MOON is flawlessly mixed with "World
Of Innocence" by AQUAPLEX. This entire CD makes perfect
DJ set and party bouncer. You will enjoy it! The sound sampler contains
8 songs from both CDs. Let me remind you, that it is only a sampler,
you have to get the real thing to enjoy it. It's priceless! If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

Kosmonauts @ Kontor
reviewed on 09/17/00 Label: 2000 Kontor Records / Kosmo Records / Edel Records (Germany) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: 0070402ERE |
|
| Review: | |
A little bit history first.
In October of 1999 München based label KOSMO took their
tour "Sta Prest" in Hamburg, where DJ's from this label played
in famous club KONTOR (also having their label). Both relatively
young and ambitious labels are taking the German dance floor by the
storm. Kosmo Records established in 1995 by Michael Rank has
following DJs calling themselves KOSMONAUTS: Tom Novy, Da
Hool, Andry Nalin, DJ Tomcraft, DJ Moguai, Phil Fuldner, Niels va Gogh
and others. Kontor Records was established in the end of 1997 by Jens
Thele to support DJ's playing at KONTOR club. Under this label we
have acts like ATB, Blank & jones, Sunbeam, Rank 1, Hi-Gate,
SQ-1, Trance Allstars, CJ Stone, Miss Jane, Adeva and Woody van
Eyden. This double CD album is a result of collaboration between
both labels. From Kosmo site we have DJ TOMCRAFT and from Kontor
SUNBEAM. First CD features mostly TECHNO
sound as what DJ TOMCRAFT likes to play the most. You might remember
this year huge hit by both guys called "Versus"
under the wings of labels directors: Michael Rank (Kosmo) and
Jens Thele (Kontor).The CD starts from this song and flawlessly
being mixed with current hit by STORM "Time
To Burn". Many good tracks on this CD, just to mention "Just
Feel Free" by DuMonde, "Gate
To Hell" by DJ Marc LaCruz, or "Walhalla"
by DJ Tiesto and Ferry Corsten project Walhalla. Second CD mixed
by SUNBEAM features excellent choice of TRANCE
monsters with titles like "The Nightfly"
by Blank & Jones, "Escape 2"
by Kay Cee, "Summer" by
ATB and many, many others. You have 40 songs on both CD mixed
for your continuous dance adventure. For the sound sampler I have chosen
8 tracks (4 from each CD) and retained the original mixing wherever
it was possible. This should give you an idea how the mixes are done.
I am sure that most of you who fall for this sound will love this compilation.
You might know many songs featured in here, but set like this make such
offering very exciting. You should get it! |

Lovestern Galaktika - Volume 3
reviewed on 09/17/00 Label: 2000 Sony Music Media / Dance Division (Germany) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: DAD 498752 2 |
|
| Review: | |
So what is LOVESTERN
GALAKTIKA? If you are visiting LOVE PARADE in Berlin usually
organized every Summer in July, you probably know already. If you do
not, let me explain. Lovestern Galaktika is techno party usually taking
place during Love Parade in Water City Berlin and is organized by Friends
And Sons Production since 1995. It has been a highlight of Love Parade
since. Additionally, this year special event called "Lovestern
Galaktika meets EXPO 2000" took place in September 09,
2000 in Hannover Germany to celebrate EXPO 2000 exhibition. The
event had 10 DJs from 5 continents including names like: Sven Väth,
Marc Spoon, Carl Cox, Afrika Bambaata, Josh Wink, Renato Lopez and
others. Among DJs playing in this event was DJ SAMMY from Ibiza.
You probably known him well from titles like "Prince
Of Love", "You're My Angel"
and other performed with his girlfriend CARISMA (known as
LOONA). Quite recently he was also introduced as LOVESTERN GALAKTIKA
meets LE PETIT SAM in "Lovestern Galaktika"
or most recently "Loca Galaktika".
Today, I am presenting you with the double set entitled "Lovestern
Galaktika - Volume 3". I never had a chance to listen
previous volumes but based on Volume 3, I think previous releases were
good as well. Among 38 titles featured on both CDs you will find some
current club hits by projects like: Blank & Jones, Floorfilla,
Aquagen DJ Taylor & Flow, Lady Tom, DJ Jurgen and others. Indeed
an excellent choice of titles. CDs are not mixed so you can enjoy the
full tracks if you prefer. The only drawback is the fact that presented
versions are rather short (how long could be versions if there are almost
40 tracks). This limitation however, should not preclude you from getting
this set. To give you an idea what's in store I gave you a sound sampler
consisting of 8 titles. Enjoy this fine selection of the titles and
get the set NOW! For more information about LOVESTERN GALAKTIKA visit their FLASH site at: http://www.galaktika.com |

DJ Mix vol. 2
reviewed on 09/16/00 Artist: KAI TRACID Label: Sony Music Entertainment / Dance Division (Germany) Style: Trance/Techno Index #: DAD 498036 2 |
|
| Review: | |
Exactly one year ago I
reviewed here Volume 1. Today is
Volume 2. Even if I review this
double set here in this section, it's not exactly an album, but rather
the compilation. Similar to volume 1 this one features his official
club tour set on 2 CDs. KAI TRACID is not only a talented music
creator but also outstanding DJ. I am sure that many of you who are
actually starting DJing and love TRANCE/TECHNO
genre will use it as a valuable tool. We not only have here an excellent
choice of music but also skilful technique of mixing songs. When you
will browse through the featured titles, you will realize that many
of them you probably already have, if you are of course crazy about
getting new music. So in this term it might not necessary be news for
you, but let me underline again that the strength of this album lies
on mixing done by KAI TRACID. Both CDs were divided into two
major styles. First one is mostly TRANCE
oriented while the second one caters more in to TECHNO/PROGRESSIVE
sound. Carefully selected tracks give an incredible club sound feeling,
morever featured mixes are EXTENDED CLUB mixes only. With such tracks
as "Gate To Heaven" by JUPITER
ONE, "Communication" by ARMIN
or KAI TRACID's own "Destiny's Path"
you can't go wrong. HOT item! When I made sound sampler I focused rather
on mixing than the music itself. You will find there 3 songs from the
first CD and three from the second one and original mixing by KAI TRACID
was retained! Enjoy! |

Dream Dance vol. 17
reviewed on 09/05/00 Label: 2000 Sony Music Media (Germany) Style: Dream/Trance Index #: 499718 2 |
|
| Review: | |
Here it is hot off the
press facility new ultra charged compilation from DREAM
DANCE series. I am just truly amazed how constantly good
this series is with every new release. SONY MEDIA folks that compiling
this one deserve special recognition. This double CD is loaded with
cutting-edge DREAM and TRANCE
sound equally spreaded among both CD. First CD brings fares you already
known like "Sound Of Love" by
BEAM & YANOU or "Versus"
by TOMCRAFT vs. SUNBEAM but this is not it. This CD also delivers
some newer ultra hot and magificent tracks. Take for instance "No
Sign Of Life" by AIRFIRE feat. TALLA 2XLC. State-of-the-art
big room epic that takes TRANCE club fare
to glorious new heights. Another haunting and beatiful is "Rotate"
by FRANK-E & MARS. This one is very "Rank-1"
alike. The track that made AIRWAVE an immortal group that delivered
the anthem of the present TRANCE. This
CD is really loaded with incredible tunes. You cannot afford to miss
tracks like "Colours" by DJ
MIND-X with rousing orchestration and incredible cosmic sound combining
powerful TRANCE with transcendental DREAM
sound. Equally massive is new TRANCE composition
by SKYWALKER entitled "At Heaven".
Quite interesting experiment was performed by Marco Glanz in
his project SEBASTIAN. He "altered" the original "Toccata"
and Fogue in D Minor by Bach and gave it hypnotic highly charged
PROGRESSIVE TRANCE feel. Incredible. Another
sort of OPERA-TRANCE is represented by
"The Last Escape" by TERRA
V. Amazing strings enpowered by angelic female vocals that explodes
later as big-room TRANCE to die for. Oh
My! I am speechless! The second CD is also something else. It starts
with "Love Parade 2000" written
especially for this event and performed by DR. MOTTE & WESTBAM.
Combination of TECHNO and TRANCE
is exactly what that July event was all about. The second on this CD
is another "Rank-1" tune by TUNNEL
ALLSTARS entitled "Blue Lagoon"
also recently released as a single. No wonder the featured mix is by
Bervoets & de Goelj, original writers of "Rank-1".
Epic sweep of majestic synth lines with seductive female vocals murmuring
throughout the track. DJ SAMMY is back as Le Petit Sam in "Loca
Galaktica" by LOCA GALACTICA. I already featured
the video clip to this track in VIDEO
SECTION as well as to other tracks featured in both CDs. This
set is truly amazing. I would be the most happy camper if all featured
tracks would have natural ending. Unfortunately, many mixes featured
has extended play time and were harshly shortened. I simply would prefer
to have less tracks yet in their's full length. To wipe your tears off,
second CD contains cool DREAM DANCE
screen saver. I installed it and I like it. By all means I recommend
this set to anyone that is into dance music. Collectors of the series
do not need invitations, I am sure! For the sound sampler I have chosen
8 tracks from both CDs. Actually to make this sound sampler I should
feature at least 20 tracks, believe me, it is THAT GOOD! Enjoy
the mix and run to get the get the real CD! If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

Euphoria - Level 4
reviewed on 09/02/00 Label: 2000 Telstar Records (UK) Style: Trance/Progressive Index #: TTVCD3118 |
|
| Review: | |
In the beginning of 2000
I heve reviewed "Level 3"
of this EUPHORIA compilation that
was released in the end of 1999. I praised that release for it's uniqueness
and creativity. Since than three other comps from this series were released.
One was "IBIZA EUPHORIA"
digitally mixed by Matt Darey, followed by "Level
4" also mixed by Matt Darey and in the end of
May "Chilled" mixed by
Red Jerry. Just yesterday I was finally able to get my hands
on "Level 4" and in spite
of the fact that this CD was released several months ago, it not only
deserve to be reviewed it simply HAD TO!!! This incredible double set
has been digitally remixed by Matt Darey as I ave stated above.
As a matter of fact his outstanding job he did on "IBIZA
EUPHORIA" prompted authors of this double set to invite
him again. Keep in mind that Matt is not a DJ but rather a producer
and an author of many highly acclaimed remixes. So his approach of putting
the set together is entirely different. You will be astonished how well
the music flows and reaches high technical standards. Matt arranged
the majority of the set from one key to another and loaded the track
onto computer and linked beats digitally to achieve a perfect mix. He
has written the into and outro of this set. When you will get the CD
listen carefully and you will notice that he has added beats here and
there. Using the very latest "protools" equipment he was able
to "extend" small pieces to monsterous size achieving the
perfect and flawless mix to die for. By now you should be familiar with
most titles that are featured in this set, so it might not appeal to
you as something "totally new". And here you are wrong! Matt
used some of the unique mixes (e.g. MOLOKO's "The
Time Is Now" done in TRANCE
!!! - no kidding!) and produced incredible set that flows into one TRANCE
journey you do not want to end. If you are fan or Ferry Corsten,
you should be in heaven as well. Matt Darey used many of Ferry's remixes
of tracks like: "Barber's Adagio For String",
"I'm In Love" by STARPARTY,
"Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad"
by MOBY or "Why Go?" by
FAITHLESS. No reviews, no sound sampler will get you an idea
how incredible the set is. Almost randomly I have chosen 8 tracks for
sound sampler and prepared mix. The original mixing was NOT retained.
I simply couldn't. To achieve the flow Matt sometimes extended the mixing
period between two tracks for more than 2 minutes, so I simply couldn't
sample that (actually I did retain in two instances, and you will clearly
hear it and understand what I mean). Another reason why you should get
the real thing. While this set can be succesfully played in any TRANCE
club, it is also perfect for your CD player. Put your headphones on,
close your eyes and prepare for the ride you will have hard time to
forget. I just did, and I loved it! |
