Hi all,
Another new forum menber and long-term trance listener (I discovered Trance in 98) here.
I have listened to each mix a few times and like this alot, more than I expected to.
I think the mixes have a good structure, especially the first has a journey feel to it, and all 3 flow really well. Also taken together the mixes build on each other, so you can easily listen to all 3 in one go and not be bored.
I dont love every track but theres no bad track on here, and a lot of them I really like.
Something which I dont like about many of today's productions is the excessive use of white noise, and that is completely absent here, so its another plus.
Another problem lots of Trance mixes today have, the inclusion of too many tracks and rushed transitions, is also not the case here. The tracks get room to breathe and the transitions are well done and dont follow the same pattern everywhere.
Overall for me this is the best trance compilation I have listened to in years, and I see myself going back to this many times.
Atm my favorite tracks are Arrakis, Connected, Leap of Faith, Reverie, Fading Light, Velvet, Metaversal, Prevail, Running Man, but I really like most of them. Hope there will be a release with the extended versions as a package.
