[Daniel Skyver]

There was once a time when seeing a subject title like that would get me excited and then you see the tracklist with names like Dirty South and Kaskade and it just makes me go

[Mystikal89]

terrible, are there any tunes over 132 bpm?

[Dell-Ta Plane]

terrible, are there any tunes over 132 bpm?

An Above & Beyond compilation that's over 132 BPM, and in 2012? You're asking for too much!

[HaTeyLa]

I'm actually Interested in the Mix..Probably because I'm flexible with BPM's.

[Blue_Dagger]

Nothing to do with being flexible with BPMs, but the fact that A&B will no doubt advertise all this as trance is what's annoying.

[Nangle]

You'll be hard pushed to beat Eddie Halliwell:Cream Ibiza from 2007 in my opinion. Since then its went seriously downhill in my estimations.

[HaTeyLa]

Well yes, that's pretty annoying..

[Payo]

I have no doubts on the mixing, their mixes are always great. However the tracklist is total crap, even Black is Back, their best release in this year for sure and i would say the past one too is too banging for them, we are talking about a 134 BPM track...

and

02. Above & Beyond pres. Razorfish - Tranquility Base (Jerome Isma-Ae Remix)

[N7pSTR]

The tracklist is awful..

My views of the tracklist

[dh5]

You'll be hard pushed to beat Eddie Halliwell:Cream Ibiza from 2007 in my opinion.

Was definitely the last straw for me as well. Would have to say Eddie Halliwell:Cream Ibiza (2006) Disc 2.
I listened to it the other day and it blew me away, O'Çallaghan & Kearney – Exactly, come out of nowhere and i lost it....
Back to the topic, very bland cd. Nothing fresh and what is with ferry Corsten - Punk (Arty remix)???

[Progrez]

terrible, are there any tunes over 132 bpm?

The problem is not the bpms, its the track selection.

[Blue_Dagger]

The problem is not the bpms, its the track selection.

Trance used to be faster overall, we all know that, and there's a lot of us here who like trance faster. Can you and a few other members PLEASE stop commenting about BPMs when we simply state we'd like the music faster?

Too bad that BPM is important part of your taste.
