Review by DeathPosture Jul 22, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)

Back on plastixx!!

After exactly one years hiatus (though with a couple of releases on the sub-label Aqua Recordings) Groove Zone Records from Japan are back on plastic. Groove Zone has released some real fine compilations, but the last one, Aerocruz, I didn’t really find essential… Sure, it had its moments, but overall speaking I found it a little too fluffy… That’s all in the past though, and I’m approaching this fresh compilation with an open mind… Frenchman Side-A compiled it, and by the looks of the tracklist he has dug out quite a few big names within progressive trance… Let’s dig in…

And now I can safely say: Groove Zone Records are definitely back with a vengeance!! This is a very solid compilation! Oh yes, there’s a bunch of excellent tracks here – and even the less-good tracks are still pretty solid. And my main gripe with those less good tracks is their commercial nature which isn’t necessarily a bad thing…

There’s some real excellent progressive trance to be found here – and often it crosses well over into house, club trance and electro… Fans of such stuff should definitely check it out… It’s one of the better progressive trance releases of 2006 – up to par with Iboga and Plusquam stuff! The simple digipack has some really boring artwork, but do not despair – the music more than make up for that… Enjoy!
