Trance Power Vol.1 - Various Artists

Advantages: A good mix of songs
Disadvantages: Doesnt help you get through the housework

...A cd thats a couple of years old now but still fun to listen to. I mean this cd says its meant to help you through the housework but I personally dont think it really does,if anything it distracts you,because you just start singing along to all the great tracks this album has to offer, you get caught up in the music and completely lose track of what you were doing - maybe a good thing in a way :-) Housework vol 1 is a double album that has some cracking songs that you just dont seem to hear on the radio anymore such as The Beach Boys - Help Me Rhonda and Don McLeans - American Pie. The songs on this album just make you feel good and really help to lift your spirits,but I honestly think its marketed wrong,this is a feel good album for anyone just not people doing the housework.I dont think the title of the album really represents...

Advantages: A different, new style of Trance
Disadvantages: Not to all tastes.

...A good album, I bought this 3 CD set in 2008 for £15 off the net. First of all, don't expect this to be a normal Euphoria CD. Most of the music is Goa(India) derived and it is a completely new sound in terms of usual trance. Headed by John '00' Fleming and 00 db. It has a distinct Asian feel to it, which I think is rather good, but I don't think it would suit all tastes. Many of the artists I have never heard of. John Fleming gives good commentary explaining his views and thoughts on his choices of tracks. The package is bright, very colourful and imagative and the discs are all coloured brightly. Is this the way forward in trance now? We'll wait and see. Highly recommended.... Read review

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

...to the final disc (okay that may have just been me...I'm not as young as I was!) And so to disc three - thankfully more of a chilled out vibe here as the melodies lengthen and the beats become less frantic. Olive's You're Not Alone heads the cool-down, with Solar Stone's Seven Cities shining through (another of my all-time faves), Chicane's Saltwater and Art Of Trance's Madagascar coming close behind, and Sluslik Luna's Sun ending over a decade's worth of the finest dance anthems I've ever seen on one collection. My thoughts in a second, for those that are interested here are the track listings in full; Disc: 1 1. Born Slippy - Underworld (1) 2. What Ya Got 4 Me - Signum 3. Kernkraft 400 - Zombie Nation 4. Time To Burn - Storm (4) 5. Warrior - Warrior (4) 6. Drill - Dirt Devils 7. Fire Wire - Cosmic Gate 8... Read review
