I've seen other compilations with top notch labels failing. And with this I've now seen the same concept suceeding with bravour! This is nothing short of an absolutely outstanding double cd compilation.

Looking at the names contributing I had high hopes and feared to be let down. I was not. This is the cream of the crop from the golden Goa age. Flying Rhino, Blue Room, TIP, Tunnel Records, Matsuri, Dragonfly and more. Everything comes together here. Essential for goa fans.

Judging by the artist line-up, this compilation gives the impression of being the greatest goa compilation out there ever. That could be true. Look at the artists: there is not a single one of them which hasn’t made history. Commenting on each track and artist is something I don't feel like, if you have a little of Goa knowledge you know who they are ;)

If you want just a touch of Goa Trance and want just a few CD's with the best then DtoG4 is one to have. It's still very easily accessible like most Distance material so there's no excuse really :)

This is also the CD that introduced me to psy/goa trance, and still the best compilation I've heard in the genre... it's somehow got a certain unique sound. No tribal influences, it's much more cybernetic and machine driven (but not nearly to the Matsuri level), with a deep, future-unease atmosphere. And still really energetic :)

Mine's also not the one shown above - it's a single disc in a translucent, flourescent yellow case, with no inlay but a cool hologram sticker on the front. The CD itself is also holographic - only holographic CD I've ever seen.

The compilation that introduced many many people to goa trance (including me). Not a single bad track, honest! This contains a lot of the top tunes from '96 and is pretty typical goa stuff with fractal layered melodies, lots of effects and a steady kick (track 9 on cd1 has a breakbeat!). Cd1 is unmixed, Cd2 is mixed by Dino Psaras but tracks are played intro to outro. My favorites: Cd1: 2(!),3(!),4,5 Cd2: 2,3(!),8
