Absolutely outstanding compilation from one of the best trance nights. I went to it often. I would be at the front of the stage at The Fridge, shirt off, non-stop until the end. Six of these tracks are on my best of trance playlist (around 90 tracks at the moment), that is how good it is. Best track for me is Genesis by K-90 - absolutely insane driving hard trance. The golden age of clubbing, oh how I miss it...

The trance cd we were brought up on. What a year 1997 was for us and our exposure to the now seemingly gone or permutated London trance scene. This was the stalwart that we never tired of. Pendragon's "Maen Cetti" on this will absolutely take you back, with its distinctive sound.
Better than Volume 2, but that may be a nostalgia thing. Proper trance all the way! A must for those who will remember the times, and at points you'll question 'what the?' but stay with it and it's smiles all the way.

This is a very good compilation, unfortunately the last track (Lab 4 - Transformation) only has the last half, from the break onwards which is a real shame because i think it's the best tune on the cd.
