I have to honestly say that 90% of pure talent in the Trance genre belongs to the Anjunabeats Label! I've always said that Armin was the best dj in trance music and he is, but his talents only go so far compared to the Above&Beyond tri-fecta! Let's not stop there, everyone signed onto the Anjunabeats label is completely in-tune to what I want to hear when I listen to Trance! Nuff Said about that, and as for this AnjunaBeats 8, I just finished listening to both disks with no interuptions and in my opinion this installment is by far the best yet! I would recommend this 8th installment and anything with anjunabeats name on it to anyone that loves music as much as I do.....

I have purchased nearly every release from the Anjunabeats Label and they just keep getting better!

Hot on the tail of equally fantastic Anjunabeats Worldwide Vol. 2 comes this absolutely stunning release mixed by Above & Beyond. There is literally not a bad song on here. I love them all.

This compilation relies much less on vocal trance pieces. At first, I thought that I wasn't going to like it because of this. But after a 2nd listen, I am completely hooked.

It is great to see Daniel Kandi back in action on this compilation. We are actually blessed with two of his pieces and Piece of Me is particularly dance worthy.

The Mat Zo Dub mix of Lange and Emma Hewitt's Live Forever is also not to be missed. Nor is the Gareth Emery/Metropolis remix of the Classic Oceanlab tune "On a Good Day".

Above and Beyond are without a doubt some of the most talented (and underrated) Trance DJs on the scene today. While not nearly as "showy" as AVB, their mixing skills are in my opinion, better. A live A&B show promises hours of uplifting and melodic trance. Little Flash-LOTS of substance.

If you are even remotely interested in electronic dance music-get this CD. At $14.99-it is a true bargain.

To be quite honest, uplifting trance of this sort is not my all time favorite genre. I usually prefer progressive house, dubstep, psy trance, and others. That being said, I love this CD. It's just feel good music that brings a smile to your face. I needed this departure from the somber tone of Kryptic Minds I was listening to earlier (Don't get me wrong, I still love that type of deep and dark dubstep).
