Today it got to me that Anjunas best releases might have been released in the early years 2001-2003/4 mostly and the other half which some, including me sometimes consider equally as good is sort of sub-par (the electro-hybrid/heavy pluck era 2005-09) But that might just be a mood thing after all. They released vocal trancers all from the beginning of the label aswell (Oceanlab/Far From in Love,Velvet Morning etc) so its really hard to make a distinction of quality releases. Tracks like these does have a subtle quality to them and the melodies seem less in-your-face and in one way more timeless. Im thinking of other releases such as Anjunabeats - Volume One (Anjuna deep Remix), Jono Grant/Mike Koglin - Circuits (Jono Grant Rewire), Aalto - Rush, Matt Hardwick/S&P-Day One,Forever(Aspekt Remix) Northern Lights (Phil Johnston Vs. Aspekt Remix)

For me these tracks defined the label as much as the vocal trance anthems which in all honestly isnt what trance was ever about. Even though I like to listen to them once in while. Something elses melodies is pretty underrated and it opens up so nicely.

I prefer Mobetta over all dj shah/sunlounger/jonas steur tracks tbh. Its soooo chilled, but yet doesnt lack the drive.

And, to add, it happened because Oliver Smith had already been helping them with stuff from earlier, and was the one who convinced Jono & Paavo to move from producing on Jono's Windows machine, to Logic on Mac. :D There's an interview about it somewhere.

Such a great release.

Anjunabeats is the best Trance label I think. Everyone loved them, everyone. Vol 2 was my introduce from some pirate CDs in a market place. Tracks above so good, never listen to Something Else

Mobetta is so good. Classic Anjuna track right there. Aspekt was amazing.

Great release. Something Else is the one for me, always come back to it. Subtle one as Daysleeper said when compared to the other Anjuna styles. Morbetta is a beast of a track too. So this was the first ever Smith & Pledger track? Dope sound for 2001.

A great example, that trance doesn't need to be in your face in order to be good.

Morbetta is an Anjuna classic. Something else I never heard but I will be adding to the playlists
