I still remember the very day i bought this album. I didnt have turntables at the time so i literally bought every dance compilation that was released throughout this year. Needless to say, after moving a few times, i've lost nearly all of them - including this one, sadly.

A great mix, many say this is the best in the Euphoria series, i'd have to agree. It's pure, undiluted trance when it was at its peak. If i still had this i bet even today, this mix would still hold up.

The only thing i didnt like about this, is it was digitally mixed (like most mix albums), it would have been nice to just hear Matt mix it with records, turntables and a mixer, for a truly live experience. Although i recall, when this was released, Matt Darey couldn't even mix - he was still learning!

Fantastic CD and a really good snapshot of dance music circa 1999.

As a compilation these series were pretty good. Once the sound of electronic started to become more of a household sound, and more and more people started listening to the music outside of the clubs, raves and the scene, the Euphoria became somewhat of the iconic CD's to get... Much better and darker compilations are out there from this Era, but then again, this is a good introduction for the 'newbies' and people who discovered the sounds.

I prefer the first half, with pure trance, and better quality prodcutions, as closer as it gets to the end, it just gets tacky...

Matt Darey was the first DJ I really took a liking to when I heard his mix of Mash Up's Beautiful. From there, I explored his compilations, and happily came upon this two-CD set. It was a great find for me because I was fairly new to the genre at the time. Both albums span a great range of artists and really opened my eyes to many new wonderful sounds. This album was instrumental in getting me hooked on trance and electronic music. Now, not every nook and cranny of the either album was to my liking, but both provided many hours of listening. Again and again. Anyone new to the genre, take a look at this CD. Anyone looking for a good pumpin' and smooth ride of electronic music that hits the hots spots of trance over the last few years, I recommend it just as well.

I am also a Matt Darey junkie, so am biased, but this is a fantastic mix and collection of songs. Even 3-4 years later, this album still sounds good.

This is a very good mix. It has alot of the greatest hits of all times on it. Check out the other Ibiza Euphoria albums too.

Many think that this is the best release in the Euphoria series, and even though I am a little biased towards Mat Darey, I would certainly have to agree.

2 CD's of quality, uplifting trance that is masterfully mixed - what more could you want?
