Review by zangief_pilam Jun 30, 2003

Ralphie B's massive is the one record which is truly a masterpiece from the later releases on the global trance seen. All the remixes are good in their way--you won't go wrong with any one of them. His own is a little moodier and has a very unique techie taste, PvD's is the usual uplifting trance stomper (very good nonetheless), and I'm not too familiar with the Filterheadz mix but it is very good as well. Look out for his remixes of "Touch You" by Katoi and some of the tracks by Sonorous. Great guy.
