Looking back, this album is actually brilliant. You do not find sheer class like this anymore. The first disc is a brave, and refreshing venture from the traditional NE direction. The second, a truly exceptional, timeless piece of mixing.

Looking back, people will regard this more and more as an omnipotent classic as time goes on.

What a shame that this album was not released as a single cd, that being only cd 2! This cd is very solidly mixed with a constant drive & it has one of my alltime favorite tracks on it: Polarstern. Towards the end a bit trancey, but mostly deep progressive.

The first cd on the other hand is the type of trance cr*p that the likes of Tiesto seem to be throwing out at a rate of 10 cd's a day; useless, boring & lacking in originality. Really start to wander who mixed what & more, who chose what tracks.....

Disc 1 is the more dance-y of the two, whilst Disc 2 is the more dreamy sounding mix.

Overall these 2 cd's make one of the best mix cd's ever, second only to Northern Exposure 2.

A great mix of old and new traxx, mixed to perfection as usual.

4 stars for Disc 1 and 4.5 stars for Disc 2.
