Classic Soundtrack Collection - Various Artists

Advantages: Plenty of Quality Tracks for your Money. Familar famous tracks alongside superb less known tracks.
Disadvantages: Not really for those with short attention spans. Mixing between songs can be lengthy.

...Classic Euphoria. Branded mysteriously as a seemingly independant compilation, this album hit the shops in the summer of 2006. While it's cover would let you think otherwise, Classic Euphoria and indeed it's sequels are by the Ministry of Sound, and call upon its vast collection of music rights to some of the most famous trance tracks in the last decade Basic Details Tracks: 47 Approx total runtime: 188 minutes Featured DJs: Variety of Artists Label: Ministry of Sound Other Titles in the Series: Classic Euphoria Level 2, Hardcore Euphoria.

But from the begginning of the CD you hyped into speed, either dancing away or rocking some part of your body to fast tripping chords and beats. BK starts this off with Revoloution and is known for his hard sound with his productions being hits on the Hard House and House scene. But the clever placing of this track sure gets you ready for the rest of the quality listing... Read review
