referencing True Spirit, 3xCD, Comp + Box, Tresor 185

This collection is a compilation in a way a compilation should be. Not only the music is great, the whole concept of the release is high above average. We have three discs here, packed in a great designed cardboard box with a thick booklet in it, containing interesting informations about all the artists and the history of the Tresor label/club itself.
"True Spirit" was my introduction to the sound of Tresor Records and it made me addicted from the first track on.
Disc one contains basically the hard techno sound of the first half of the 90s, disc two contains very hard techno, mainly from the second half of the 90s, and the third disc presents the more house oriented kind of techno.
Highlights? Well, there is no bad track on any of this discs, there are all essentials. Tresor addicts will probably have many of these tracks, but for beginners this compilation is the perfect guide.
A dignified birthday sampler for Tresor!

referencing Tresor Compilation Vol. 10 - True Spirit (Special Edition), CD, Comp, Tresor 163 CD

100% Tresor Techno with fine track-selection form past to present. There's also a more elaborate 3-cd-box that contains more hard to get tracks. This one was meant as sort of a "best of the best" & ofcourse that's very hard to do in just a dozen of tracks. I guess everybody's Tresor Top 10 would be different?
I was able to pruchase this one in a plastic sleeve at one of my last visits ever to Tresor's legendary Love Parade-afterparties, but I've never seen it in any shop, so I guess it's pretty rare.

My favourites are: the über-classic "Der Klang der Familie", Mills' "The Extremist", the melancholic electro of Drexciya's "Lost Vessel" & the pure abstract madness of Surgeons "Intro (Version II)"
