A CD from the best years of Trance!

Advantages: Trance at its best!!!!!
Disadvantages: None really

...that the best years of Trance music have been and gone. Of course some people say that there are still some great tracks coming out, which is true, but the music just isn't like it used to be. This CD encompasses everything that used to be amazing about trance. When you could walk into a club, and be captured by the music playing. It played straight to your heart and flowed right through you. This is a CD that completely epitomises the genre. 2001 ...
...slightly more commercial side of trance music. These are the tracks that would be instantly recognisable to the majority of clubbers. These tracks would have been their staple diet each weekend. The second CD is far more progressive, and in my opinion it is a lot better. I like the edgy feel to it and the fact that it wasn't the same as your typical trance CDs of the time, as this CD really tried to do something a bit different. Ending the second ...

Review of Trance Nation Vol.5 - Ferry Corsten

Slightly disappointed but still good

Advantages: some golden oldies
Disadvantages: alot of the tunes you will have on the older gatecrasher cds

When I saw this product advertised on the television I was so excited because I have all the gatecrasher albumns and I just loved the idea of a best of gatecrasher albumn but then you get the the idea of, is it worth buying it cos you will have most thesongs alreadyalbeit on 10 different albumns. So there is the first good point of this albumn, all the classics on one albumn that you can stick on, on a saturday night and dance away till your hearts ...
...tunes and some not so good tunes so like me I was tempted just to buy it off itunes and download the tunes I liked but at 99p each I found I like more than £9.99 worth of tunes so I bought the albumn. Theres some old time favourites and some current classics with some great remixes and with 3 cds you really do get your moneys worth. Its a mixture of house and dance and a little bit of trance thrown in. You can dance to this music and it really would ...

Review of Gatecrasher's Club Anthems 1993-2009 [Digipak] - Various Artists

Soil Festivities - Beautiful, soothing instrumental music.

Advantages: Music to really relax to.
Disadvantages: Movement 3 breaks the mood somewhat!

...first track (movement 1) of Soil Festivities, and showed him actually playing and recording it. It started with thunder and rain, and then lots of birds and animals gathering around an African watering hole to drink. I was captivated. There are no actual animal sounds used but birds are mimicked by the synthesisers. The music is so gentle, uplifting and soothing. Layer upon layer of beautiful sounds. Very warm feeling. Completely instrumental throughout. ...
...really make synthesiser music that is full of emotion and feeling. There a 5 movements to this album. Movement 3 is less relaxing, more turbulent, and not one of my favourites. The other tracks more than make up for this. Perfect for background or upfront listening. Good for bedtime (except movement3). Highly recommended if you like relaxing instrumental music. ...

Review of Soil Festivities - Vangelis

lesacvspip - Angles = A Epic Story of your life

Advantages: Driving beats, Superb Lyrics, Well Created
Disadvantages: Strong Language

When you hear Dan Le Sac Vs. Scroobius Pip are a DJ and a MC. You probably think another duo with a DJ and MC, But this is different Dan Le Sac's Tracks are an art form in itself using technical LFO's and "Mashed" up beats to drive the music into your "soul" and put together with Scroobius Pips Poetry they make one hell of a combo. The tracks on this album are about Politics, Self harm and how we perceive ourselves and beauty. The Song the album ...
...deep song showing the effects we have on people around us and what we can cause. other tracks on this album are ranging from the hit "Thou Shall Always Kill" to the latest song "Waiting For the Beat to Kick in". This Album Is Very well Mastered and mixed, most songs produced by Dan Le Sac himself and Yila. Some Strong Language* ...

Review of Angles - Dan Le Sac & Scroobius Pip

Tarot Sport: An even better sophomore effort from the Bristol Duo

Advantages: A really great sound
Disadvantages: Lack of differentiation, but it is a drone album!

How to start when it comes to a band such as Fuck Buttons? Obviously, already it is clear that this band will never diverge into the mainstream even without listening to the music, so you are already prepared for a sound that is out of the ordinary before you plug in (just to say, in my opinion this is definitely an album designed to be listened through headphones, like Burial's works, not shouted out through huge bass filled speakers). From the ...
...highlights of the album, you can already tell if you are going to like this album or not. "Fuck Buttons" have a very unique sound that is minimalistic, but not at all boring. The opening track begins with rapid fast moving sounds that pan across you like bees trying to escape from a jar. Then a steady 4/4 beat kicks in, and the noise settles down and is replaced by an equally first whirring sound before the heavily synthesized bass line commences. ...
