Great ones, thank you! Any more similar to the 1994 Mix Collection? I don‘t know any other mix Comp from this era having this magic combination of house, trance and prog.

This one is originally from 1993 and can only be found on an obscure '95 compilation but it's damn great:

Early 'Art Of Trance' production, the Spirit Level mix had massive support in the scene, maybe some of you know the Moogway remix from 2000. Released in 1993 at Platipus.

Poltergeist - Vicious Circles (Spirit Level Mix)
I have been mostly into modern trance, and didn't start to dig for classics until recently.
The chord progression of this track gives me a feeling of similarity to Basil O'Glue - Tell Nobody [JOOF, 2021]
In terms of this track, I personally prefer the Union Jack remix and the Moogwai remix than the original Spirit Level mix.
