Rated 5/5

Review by fabriknos Mar 15, 2004

this is my favorite "trance" compilation of all time. i say "trance" because as said above, there is so much more here that you would not expect on a trance release. from the slow, spacey intro of Microglobe's "Trust" to the dense techno of Hardfloor's "Reverberate Opinion" to the ambient, feel-good trance of Dave Angel's "Life's Little Pleasures"... this set has it all. seriously one of the most influential compilations on me, with an incredible lineup of talent and - as usual for the TEX series - a standout packaging job. 5/5

Review by guarana Apr 23, 2003

This album is for anyone who likes the chill, ambient or downtempo genre. It contains some of the best music around and even many years after its release it is still in high demand.
I would recommend this album to just about anyone who likes their electronic music to be a little more intelligent than just plain 4-2-the-floor "house" music styles.

Personally i love listening to this while i am developing software ... it really brings about a calmness that is not frequently found in me :)

Best songs (in my opinion)
Microglobe - Trust
Richard H Kirk - Oneski
