Mayday - New Euphoria - Various Artists

Advantages: All in opinion
Disadvantages: All in opinion

...Any of you remember “Rain Dance”, “Biology”, “Acid House” and “Sun Rise”?? For those of you who don’t know what I’m harping on about the above were all acid house raves, raves that were held in large venues throughout the country. This was the start of a new era in club/dance music – The yellow smiley faces soon became a fashion trend, as acid raves were the focal point of the club scene. Everyone wanted to be a part of it - this music triggered off the start of a new culture – a culture where music was the only thing that mattered, this music brought everyone together in a harmony sort of way as ravers travelled in numbers to reach that special acid house rave.

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.

Advantages: Mixed By Anne Savage, this has to be an advantage!
Disadvantages: Not as extreme as the other Euphoria albums, might not be fast enough for some ravers!

...Brilliant Album by Anne Savage, really worth buying. If your new to this scene its a good starter album because its not as extreme as Euphorias other albums. Cd 1 is by far the "calmer" of the 3 cd's, with mixes by BK, Vinylgroovers. Colin Barratt's remix of "The Future" is awesome. Cd2 has a faster beat and euphoria start living up to their name by Cd 3! With beats like "Real Freaks" by the Tidy Girls, this is a real tune and also "lookin Good" by Lisa Lashes! Cd 3 has to be by far the best of the 3. I really like this album, especially Cd3 where things progress and get faster! Theres some big names and some big tunes! A Cd worth buying!... Read review
