Notes

This is the second release of Behind the Eye Vol. 1. "Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar" was removed due to legal reasons (Eye Q did not have the rights to this track), and "Vernon - Wonderer (Instrumental Mix)" was replaced with the longer version, "Vernon's Wonderland (The Future)".

Review by Min-Ra Jun 25, 2003
No comments yet? How can this be? Isn't this Sven Väth's seminal trance compilation - back before trance degraded into inbred mindlessness? The first few tracks, esp 'Virtual Symmetry' are beamed straight from heaven. And yes you've heard these ideas a million times since - but this was the time and the place (frankfurt, early 90s) that birthed this vibe. Perhaps even more than Jam & Spoon's Tripomatic Fairytales, this is a slice of culture of that time and place. Yes we've heard these ideas a million times since but that underscores the importance of these works, not those that copied them. This was also the clique that made the Waldorf Microwave the staple of the trance sound.
