Ibiza Trance Club Vol.8 - Various Artists

Advantages: Classic tracks, no fillers
Disadvantages: Adagio for Strings is missing!

...! Disc One's stand out favourites for me include Storm's Time To Burn, Cosmic Gate's Fire Wire, IIO's Rapture, Angelic's It's My Turn (Angelic being Amanda, wife of DJ Judge Jules), an amazing Tiesto remix of Delirium's Silence, and one of my all-time favourite tunes, Sandstorm by Darude.

It would be unfair to judge this CD on the lack of real upfront 2009 tracks, having only been released 3 months into a new year. For me personally, out of the 2 classic CD's, the second has to take all... Read review
