So, this album is a funny mix of styles. Club, progressive, psy, full-on. Perhaps with a tendency towards proggy it's all here. I really can't find the read thread in the selection of trax. Even some of the tracks themselves sounds like a hybrid between progressive and psy. Maybe room for coining a new genre ... psygressive :o)

Anyhow, I like this album. Very nice & neatly packed, and with its smooth flow and non-intimidating sound this album suits perfect at home. You could even put it on while having elder relatives over, and smoothly win them over to the dark side ... And still, crank up the volume and most of these tracks will fill the dance floor (at least the club oriented trax will work well).

If I should add a little negativity here, I guess it would be that I don't hear much innovation. On the other hand, if you are not looking for experimental trance this album should have a little something for all the trance followers out there.
