Right. I guess we all know this compilation by now!?. A retrospective look at some of the best goa-tracks that have come out of Israel for the last 7 years! Seven? That's right - the oldest tracks here are from 1994. The "10 years of Israeli trance" tag-line refers to the time when Guy Sebbag and his crew came back to Israel from Goa. We don't actually get to hear stuff from back then, though it could have been interesting.

Back to the music. CD1 (mixed by Astral Projection) is all of our fav'e morning tunes, and WOOOW what a bunch of delicious cuts. From the nostalgic anthem X-Files to the timeless classic Whale. and The Sleeper Must Awake. And Goaway .And. And.. They are all here. All the beautiful tracks that we have danced to at sunrises thousands of times over the years. Quite simply amazing. A fantastic emotional trip [That's right! *s*] down memory lane.

And the reminiscing doesn't stop when CD2 hits your brain. This is a night/party CD mixed by DJ Eyal Yankovich (HOM-Mega Vs. Infected I.Zen). Again we are presented with the real classics of powerful night tracks. Everyone HAS to know all these tracks. Sheer nocturnal bliss. Alien Pump. L.S.Dance. Psycho. Visitors.. For f*cks sake - take a look at the tracklisting! Does it get any better than this?

Nah! Critics would say - what the hell do we need all these old tracks for again? This smells like commercial cash crab! Well, agreed - I guess we all have all of these tracks - I know I do, but still were else can you find ALL the classics from 1994 to 2001 on a single compilation? The answer is that you can't.

Another big fat plus in my cool-book is the very informative booklet with rare information and photos of every artist on this compilation. Also - this would be a great place to start a trance collection for someone just getting into trance. Start with the best, and never look back! *s*

Ok, it isn't all good. I would have preferred unmixed CDz, but under the circumstances I can live with mixed. I'm not impressed with the mixing though. Also this comp is a nice occasion to dust of the old albums again and fly away into trance.

To conclude, I really like this compilation. Old school lives, and I'll never get tired of these sounds that I have loved for so long. With this, I'm sure melodic goa trance will live on even through the hardest of minimal times! *s* Big fat 8.8/10! Bom shankar!

The best trance from 10 years....just look at that play-list!..but the mix-jobb isnt so good...just my opinion.
