Full review
Thanks for all your comments about the latest Classic Euphoria CD I have decided to review the original Classic Euphoria CD which I have had for 12 months+ and must admitt it is still played today.

Well this compilation CD consists of 3 very good yet slightly different CDs which capture all the songs of the 90s up to latest remixes from legends such as DJ Tiesto, Robert Miles, Minimalistix, Matt Darey and many many more.

I will start by commenting on how well the songs are mixed together and put on the album as you can just put the CD on and it will flow from the first song to the last with ease.

I first played the CD in the car after purchasing it and first thing I noticed was the sound quality was excellent and even better when I got home to play it through my home cinema system (kinda got the neighbours round a few times due to the tempo & bass but hey ...)

CD One consists of a few old classics combined with a few newish releases such as Tomcraft - Lonliness and a good mix by DJ Arabesque - Vision.

CD Two consists of a more chilled out songs mixed in with a few hard classics like Storm - Time to Burn and the classic that is William Orbit's - Barber's Adagio for Strings which most of you will know Tiesto remixed it to his own harderd version which most of you will know.

CD Three is a calm compilation of dance tracks mainly from the late 90s and early 2000s but it is a CD I most listen to in the car if I'm driving long distances as it believe it makes the journey go alot quicker when your nodding your head - obviously keeping to the speed limit and passing the journey time away.

I DON'T WANT TO GO ON ABOUT EACH INDIVIDUAL SONGS AND WHETHER THEY ARE TO MY TASTE AS OBVIOUSLY OUR TASTES WILL DIFFER WHEN IT COMES TO MUSIC BUT I'LL LIST THE TRACKS WHICH I THINK MAKE THE ALBUM A SUCCESS.

WILLIAM ORBIT'S - BARBERS ADAGIO FOR STRINGS

This is a classic song which most of you will notice its from the Kevin & Perry film in the Ibiza hotspot which is Amnesia nightclub. It's a genuine trance song with a decent instrumental melodie which will remind you of dancing the night away in your local hotspot or on a 18-30s holiday.

STORM - TIME TO BURN

I remember this song when my brother was listening to it years ago in his bedroom with his mates and I was only knee-high to a grasshopper but it is definatly worthy of being called a Classic as in most nightclubs up and down the country will play this song still years after production.

PAUL VAN DYK - FOR AN ANGEL

This is a song where you can ask many people if they could humm the main corus and 80% of them cant .. but in reality they will know the song but won't realise what its called or who its by well its by that German genious Paul Van Dyk and its continued to be played everywhere including clubs from Dublin to Amsterdam to West Coast America. Definate Classic!!

WARRIOR - WARRIOR

This was mainly played in Cream in Liverpool before being mainstream and after that it stopped nowhere with being on many film soundtracks including 51st State with Samuel L Jackson starring in as a American Chemist making illegal substances to sell in Liverpool - Classic song for a classic film!!

A personal favourite of mine on the 3 CDs must be ...

MIKE KOGLIN - SILENCE

I must admitt after buying the CD and looking at the tracklisting I didn't really know what song it was untill I played it and boy what a song it is. It's a definate trance classic with a catchy instrumental backed with a catchy beat. Must be one of my favourite trance songs of all time.

I would suggest they are the 5 best songs on the album but as you well know after seeing the tracklisting for the CD you will realise how many good strong songs are on there mixed by the world's best DJs placed on 3 very good CDs.

I have also reviewed the latest Classic Euphoria album and I would say they are definatly two CDs I would rescue from a burning building.

I purchased the CD for £14.99 and I wouldn't begrudge people who moan about paying alot for a CD but this is a 3 CD album and 95% of the songs make the price worthy to pay. If you work it out each song costs you just over 30p as theres 47 songs on the compilation so each song is worth 30p surely??
