Very nice compilation here! ;o)

Danish label Iboga and Digital Structures from Sweden have teamed up under the name of Digiboga and the double compilation Cross Link is the result of the joint venture stretching from Copenhagen across the new Oresund Bridge to Malmo and what a SMASHING result it is! This was one of the most anticipated compilations in 2002... But it was definitely worth the wait... No doubt about that!

The first CD contains a bunch of well-know tracks plus a couple of unreleased from both Iboga and D.S. . On the second CD these tracks are remixed across labels, so that D.S.-acts remix Iboga-acts and vice versa! It's all one happy Digiboga-family! ;o)

In my mind there is no doubt which track is the highlight here: [cd1#8] Curved Air - AMAZING track, and has got to be among the deepest, grooviest, most driving progressive tracks ever! I've loved this track for years, and this compilation was the first opportunity to own it on CD. I wish I'd been at VooV last summer when Reefer Decree apparently played this track the first time in public. The whole CD is worth it for this track alone! ;o)

Not saying that you only need this CD because of this track - there are smashing tracks en mas here! From the well-know Son Kite stomper Reewo, over Tegma beastly Werewolf to the sheer joy of Beat Bizarre's previously unreleased Out Loud! Great, great stuff! Also, pretty much all the remixed are good, though I've not yet grown fond of P-Woland's remake of Curved Air. But perhaps it's just me who doesn't like when someone messes with a classic!

Well, enough said about this now - If you haven't got this go get it right now! It's an instant classic! ;o) Rating 9/10
