Ok let me tell you about this album,

i managed to grab a whitelabel copy of this on my work. This was a showcase album which was send to record company's. There's some great tunes on this album, especially track 9 and 10 (which are vocal and dub mix) are great. A typical Vincent de Moor style trancer with high nrg claps and a superb melody! One of his best productions ever, shame that this was never released.

This rocks me everytime I listen to it :)
Da Hool - Meet Her At The Love Parade (Late Summer Remixes) Nov 08, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
One of the best tracks just got better with this four great mixes. Nalin & Kane remixes are always hot and be sure to check this remix out as well, cause it adds some depth and neat extra sounds to the flatter original mix. The other mixes are harder, fiercer mixes, excellent for dark german hardtrance party's. Anyway, pick this up, it's an excellent edition to any trance collection!
Lexicon 4 - Reach Me Nov 08, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
A fantastic piece of trance 12 inch which never had an "official" release cause it samples Oleta Adams - Get Here. The A-Side is a smooth trancey affair which breaks down in a piano intermezzo featuring the Oleta Adams vocals. The Airscape Remix on the flip was the dancefloor burner which Johan Gielen used to play on every gig. I think only 500 copies got pressed and it's pretty hard to find. Keep on searching the second hand sites, but if you really want it, it's gonna cost ya 100+ euro most probably!
DJ Tiësto - Magik Six: Live In Amsterdam Sep 02, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
I was there that night this album was recorded... Let me tell you about the atmosphere that night... We entered promptly at 23.00 as the party was starting. DJ Dazzle opened the night with an awesome warm-up set including anthem Atlantis - Fiji. The club slowly but steadily was getting full, but it still was comfortable to dance on the dancefloor..

Then Tiesto enters, starting to play with a vocal anthem that I sadly never came to ID this far. Some people may be surprised that he played Ian van Dahl - Castles In The Sky (Absolom Remix) before the actual recording started. I had some beers and it was my first clubbing night in Amsterdam and it was my best night ever. Me and my two friends were dancing non-stop, couldn't believe our ears while Viola and Cloud 69 were banging the dancefloor. Every sound, every cheer, every applause on the album is for real and represents the true atmosphere of that night... And I was lucky to be there..

Absolutely one of the biggest mix albums ever for me personally. It's a bit like a sleeper hit really, from a time when trance was still developing and boundaries in sounds were broken every new month. From the drum n bass-ish intro track by Way Out West, till the deep gloomy synths of LSG - Train Of Thought, every aspect of this album absorbs you.

I bought this for a fair price here in Holland and I must say, the more I listen to it, the more I love it. Some transitions are really beautiful, emphasizing the strenghts of two tracks mixed together.

A perfect mixture of trance, prog with psy and techno elements. A true classic!

the best compilation of the tree editions of ISOS so far, it is from back in the time that trance was still "newer" and more exciting then nowadays. I remember calling every local recordstore to check out who had this cd first available.

Brilliant trackselection with unknown charttoppers like Marc Vision - Timegate and Gypsy - I Trance You. Warm and soulfull mixing, excellent representation of the trancescene back in the days. For me Tiësto was back in the time the true #1, sadly he turned into a different direction nowadays..
