DJ Scot Project has really taken people by storm, and almost every trance forums i go to, their only talking about him, but to me, every time DJ Scot makes a new song, it sounds like the last one he released, yes maybe he launched the hardtrance scene, but he never invent new ways to make hardtrance, every time i hear a track and dosent know its DJ Scot, its only takes secunds, before i know its him, always a very destroyed voice that sounds like its recorded with a cheap microfon, and added some robotic filter, and he always uses hours to build up the chorus with extremly laud drum noises, and when its finally about to start there comes a little secound of silence, with sometimes a voice that says whatever it says, and Then it starts. Also hes songs and remixes are much like the same, for me "Thunder In Paradise" and "Future Is Now" is the exect same track just with another melodi, no offence but I just think that DJ Scot Project is kind of monotonous, maybe thats why hes famous.

You know I could be very wrong, but I really think that within DJ Tiesto's soul resides a musician, who although is writing and mixing the best trance music around these days -has so much more scope to write songs that belong to no classification (such as BT, Hybrid). The title track of this CD with the etheral voice of Kirsty Hawkshaw is absolutely fantastic! It sounds like Dido's third album might, if she turns away from the pop star idolitary! This is not trance, it is beautifully crafted music! Jan Johnston's contribution "close to you" is almost equally enthralling - in fact if he wrote a CD with his style and their voices - we would have a true classic in our midst! That aside, if pure trance is your cup of tea, this CD will not disappoint! Highlights include the opening "Magik journey" and of course the club classic "Urban Train". Tiesto is still relatively unknown, but he is teaching a few of his contemporaries this..........if you want to churn out the same old stuff CD after CD you will fade to oblivion - if you want to reach the top of the pile you produce more CD's such as this! End of the day it is not genres such as "trance" that make you, it is your music!! Listen to Battleship Grey and judge for yourselves! Beautiful. his best CD to date.

There are albums and there are remix albums. And then there are those albums you see crouching in the back of the cd rack, calling to you in a sinister voice: "buy me...buy me or you'll REGRET IT!" I managed to snag a copy of this two cd set in a European airport duty-free shop; you do not know the meaning of terrifying until you listen to Hybrid's remix of Richard Burton prophesying the end of the world while at a cruising altitude of 30,000 feet. The whole album, in fact, has a certain paradoxical sense of incredible gravity and absurd weightlessness to it; you just can't believe you're listening to it, that someone would make it in the first place, but it's good, very good. To envision the path from H.G. Well's novel in the 1890's to Jeff Wayne's original musical, circa 1978, is an astronomical stretch of the imagination, one with plenty of space for camp and strangeness, synthesizers and snappy orchestral progressions. The strength of this album lies in it's absolute seriousness, even in the face of logic-defying stylistic leaps. The highlight of this is Max Mondo's seductive and haunting remix of Spirit of Man--a highlight, that is, when contrasted with KCW's remix of the same song, done in bouncing reggae with key changes that leap like tree frogs. The second CD seems like the overkill of the martian invasion. The blood-red and black first disc nicely packages the entire novel/ play/ concept even while drawing parallels between Welle's technological nightmare and the emotions of modern electronic music. It even paying homage to the horror movies of bygone popularity from the era of the orginal Orson Welle's radio broadcast. The second disc is just more of the same. However, more techno is more techno, and there is no techno like orchestrated, full symphony techno. Buy this album. Buy this album or you will REGRET IT.

Oh my god TCM, did it again, and this time its even better. Tweekend is really one of the few master over master pieces ever made, first time i heard the album i was yawnopen. no shit, the tracks have the coolest beats, bass' and guitars, where there constantly is awsome effects in backgrounds. Even tho Tweekend is supreme it still has some negative features, like the vocal on Murder, and that allmost every track reminds a bit of the same. But still Tweekend is a great experience that you can listen to again and again. Nothing can be flawless, even tho this one is really close.

This is clearly one of favorite trance tracks ever, oh my god it burns ass!.. too bad it havent become very popular, and same time weird, because this song got both awsome music and a awsome vocal, which i find rare, and then a remix by the best remixer of all time Lange... So, if you like vocal trance, this is a MUST in your collection.

If you like the motion picture soundtrack of The lord of the rings, and want a trance remix of the themes, then this is not what you are looking for, this is track is not writen by Howard Shore and/or Enya, but that doesnt make this record bad, the Marc Aurel remix is a great trance mix that can be played more times than one, with its oprea kinda vocal, that sings "come with me and join the fellowship, join the fellowship, of the rings, i can see, i can see they visible, they invisible of your dreams" every time the mix is at its complete build-up, you cant stop singing along. where the A side is good, the B side is rather borring. Dominators own mix is more rave/hardcore than hard-trance, and it only got the female vocal once, then its only low male vocals that keeps talking over the track, that itself is pretty extinct.

This track absolutly burns away. the bass line is switching volume every secound and it sounds so awsome, first time you hear this track you go around babling that beat in hours. Else there is some interrupts with some funny voices that are made virtuel, a female and a male, that keeps singing "Push me and then just touch me do i cant get my satisfaction" acturlly reminds me a bit of madonna. this song is probally gonna get copied in many new tracks in the future, hypetraxx have just released a song called promiseland which sounds just like this one. by the way, this song got a really nice music video.

This track is the first trance track i ever heard, and it changed my music style forever, normaly i used to listen to classics, probaly the reason i fell for this track, with its 2 minutes interrupt of celtic bagpipe, dericted by james horner, taken from the movie braveheart. Month later i went buying softwares to learn making my own trance, and today im consider myself as a almost prof. i just say, if you havent heard this track, buy it now, its really a trance classics, and it can be played over and over again.
