I have to disagree with the previous poster.
The covers done by Ed Starink are done in an excellent way. To me, he really got the feeling of all these tracks are made them sound fuller and warmer. Of course, all credits go out to the original composers. No doubt about that.
Ed and Arcade chose popular tracks that appeal to the masses. You can't blame them. It had to sell. And it did.
This is where my love for electronic music started.

This CD marks an era. The era of what everyone called house. The music which has now differentiated in hundreds of subgenres (techno, trance, etc).
You will see that it were high times for Maurice Engelen, Oliver Adams and singer Niki van Lierop, the Praga Khan trio who had tens of guises (MNO, Channel X, etc). In a way they are pioneers.
But just take a look: James Brown is Dead, Chimo Bayo, Get Ready For this, Cyclotron (gimme a white line!). These tracks have set discotheques on fire every weekend. And I'm glad I was part of that era.
The variation, originality and daringness of those producers is astonishing. Today, no one dares to be different anymore or to raise the bar (ok there are always exceptions).
This is a true collectors item.
If you own this CD, keep it somewhere safe.

The Beam and Tyas mix already blew me away.
Good euphoria with a good part of emotion involved.
But then I heard the Cosmic Gate remix. My my, totally awesome stuff going on here. It takes the emotional melody from the Beam&Tyas mix, but puts a thundering bassline underneath. The part after the break, when this all comes together, is kerosine for the dancefloors. Mindblowing trance!

Witness is that kind of trance that they don't make anymore. It's a mix between the harder alias Baced and the sweeter Ace's Delight. And the mix works great. The result is an energetic yet extremely emotional masterpiece that will give you shivers if you're a real tranceaddict.
