Rated 5/5
Review by Stakkertoo Jan 06, 2008
This album still to this day is my favourite DJ mix of all time. Since listening to this in 1993 I have gone right through the spectrum of dance music and although I no longer listen to trance or it's descendants I still hold this mix up as an example of how good music can sound when put together with similar tracks.

I have spent the last 13 years slowly collecting each record from this mix on vinyl.

Awesome.

Review by fabriknos Mar 15, 2004
this is THE definitive ambient-trance compilation, mixed during the more tasteful years of PvD. the classics are here - "Love Stimulation" and "The Space Track" among them. though the standout track for me has always been "High on Hope" by Microglobe, one of the best tech/trance releases of all time in my opinion. pure bliss to hear that track on here, alongside such other great classics from the Golden Dyys of trance. a must, must have!
Review by FleshMaster69 Dec 12, 2003
This is Paul van Dyks first dj-mix compilation from summer 1993. It was recorded for a joint project between then video-producers !K7 and MFS. Pauls original master mix for this album was recorded onto reel-to-reel tape and during the process of rewinding the master-tape, he managed to spaghetti the entire master, rendering it completely unusable. That tape was binned. This mix was his second attempt.
Even though many of the tracks and MFS artists are unknown, it contains some classic moments and still puts many so-called trance compilations to shame.
For those interested, they should check the first ever trance compilation also from MFS "Tranceformed from beyond".
Rated 5/5
Review by ravecore99 Apr 22, 2003
I have heard almost all of the tracks on this cd. It seems that Cosmic Baby makes a huge appearance, and that is a good thing.

All of the tracks on this cd are classics. I can't comment on the mixing or track order since I have not heard this actual cd, but rather the individual tracks.

This cd would be a great way to get introduced to Trance, from the early 90's.
