Editorial Reviews

After successful tours through out USA, Australia, South Africa and Asia and several gigs all over Europe, it’s time to say thank you to the fans with an exclusive mix album.

Nic Chagall and Bossi – better known as Cosmic Gate – compiled and mixed on two CDs the hottest tracks from trance (CD1) to progressive techno (CD2).

Beside many brand new and unreleased tunes from the leading DJs, producers and labels of electronic music, you can find on this album the latest Cosmic Gate Single "I Feel Wonderful" Feat. Jan Johnston, the title Race Car Driver from their forthcoming artist-album and a Back 2 Back re-interpretation of the first Cosmic Gate single ever: "The Drums".

5.0 out of 5 stars The best high energy trance mix of all time!!!, October 4, 2005

It's also the best 2 disc trance mix ever released! I kid you not! Purchase this cd and don't even think twice, as I guarantee if you love your trance loud, fast, with incredible melodies, and a sprinkle of some superb vocal trance, there isn't one aspect of this 2 disc set that you won't like. I haven't really been a Cosmic Gate fan before this (so my review is totally unibiased), but I must admit, after this, it instantly propells them onto my top 5 DJ list. They were primarily hard trance and techno DJ's who came out with quirky releases in the past, but have now firmly planted themselves into the upper echelon of trance DJ's.

I've had this CD since late July, and since then you will find either disc 1 or 2 in my car, home player, or computer. I also have owned just about every other trance release this year, and it blows them all away, with the exception of TechnoClub Next2, which was my number one mix of the year until this was released. That CD is a masterpiece 2 disc set with 1 being mixed by Talla 2XLC and Kyau vs. Albert mixing disc 2, but it's one-upped by Cosmic Gate.

The tracks are one non-stop, slammin', high energy tune after another. They start out disc 1 with their superb vocal track featuring Jan Johnston, I Feel Wonderful. The rest of the disc is filled mostly with top-notch instrumentals, but there are two other vocal tracks on here: the incredible new Lost Witness vocal track featuring Tiff Lacey, Home, and Cosmic Gate's own male vocal track Race Car Driver (which is another quirky effort with strange lyrics and theme, but it works well). These instrumentals on Disc 1 are the best of the best trance out there now, and many of these tracks have since appeared on other big name DJ mixes, mostly all after this release (keep in mind this came out 3 months ago in Germany).

T4L's Perfect Blend is a perfect track, and along with Nic Chagall (one half of Cosmic Gate) featuring Sansibar's track Encee, make Disc 1 an incredible mix from top to bottom. And it doesn't stop ...

Disc 2 starts off with a bang, with E-Craig's Call it Day, my pick for the hottest high energy trance hit of the year. Through these first 5 tracks, the BPM's are way, way up through an incredible line-up of the hardest trance you have ever heard assembled together, including Mark Norman's T-34 and Cor Fijneman's Banger, and also moving into one of the best male vocal tracks this summer, Marco V's More than A Life Away. Cosmic Gate checks in again near the end of this disc, with an updated mix of their techno classic The Drums.

The beats just never stop, and the adrenaline level is higher throughout both discs than any CD set you own! There hasn't been anything like it ever released, even as far back as that late 90's trance explosion. It is simply the best high energy compilation of tracks ever mixed. DO NOT miss picking this up!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Trance CD I Own!!!, October 8, 2005

By 

Tranceholic "Mindy" (Arizona, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Back 2 Back 2 (Audio CD)

I couldn't believe what I was hearing when I first put my new CD in. By just listening to the first song on disc one, I knew that this CD would be in my deck for a while. I own much of the new trance. I guess I am specifically talking about DJ Tiesto- In Search of Sunrise 4, Armin Van Buuren- State of Trance 2005 and Shivers( which was a dissapointment ), and Markus Shulz- Miami '05. I've given the above good ratings, but now that I own COSMIC GATE BACK 2 BACK VOL. 2, I wish I could go lower my other ratings.
This is one of the ONLY albums that I own that starts strong, and continues all the way through. Not like the others that have a couple of good songs in the beginning, then take a nose dive. Disc one and two are both EXCEPTIONAL. I'm so glad I bought this album. For me, It ranks up there with Paul Oakenfold's Another World because I love every song on the two discs, not just a couple here and there.
BUY THIS ALBUM!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST BUY FOR HEART POUNDING TRANCE FANS!, October 15, 2005

Johnny Trance (Deep in the Heart of Texas!) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Back 2 Back 2 (Audio CD)

This album is simply one of the best albums that I own. It blows Back to Back VOL. 1 out of the water. After I heard F. Corsten's "PASSPORT" and PVD'S "Poitics of Dancing 2" I thought I had heard this years best trance albums, but I was sorely mistaken. Buying this album is a no-brainer! GET IT NOW!
