DJ Anthony Pappa (Global Underground NUbreed) magically mixes classic trance hits from well known artists like the Art of Trance and Union Jack, and also lesser known but my favorite Poltergeist. Please listen to Poltergeist's Vicious Circles. I think this song came out in 93 but still sounds amazingingly progressive and not-outdated. There's a new 12" release of this song mixed by Mogwai which came out recently (Nov 2000). Anyway, this Best of album comes with two discs compiled with great classic trance tunes one could only get from 12" vinyls. Pappa picked the right mixes/versions to keep the album going strong, with smooth transition. He didn't just beat matched, he picked the right songs in the right order for a purpose--keeping you in a state of trance/good relaxation mode in the end, wanting to listen to more of this. I have to give this a 5 star because I think it should be every trance music fans' collector item. Get this and you'll be happy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awsome Cd - a must hear!!!!, April 19, 2001

This was the first time I had ever heard trance music. I fell in love with this collection and now I am hooked. I would recommend this cd to any one who loves trance music or is their first time and would like to hear what it is like. It is a collection of songs from various artists like Trance and LSG, but it gives you a clue what those artists will sound like. Hints: Into aerobics? Makes a great work-out cd. Also, play this collection wearing headphones while everything around you is quite. This collection will give you an out of this world experience!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars the best trance CD(s) i've ever heard, June 4, 2000

if you're a fan of any kind of trance i highly recommend this album. i thought platipus' "ultimate dream collection" was untoppable but this one does it. every song is good and it's mixed very well, so the emotional attachment never really stops nor does the urge to dance (or at least bob your head). it has many classic songs (in my opinion) highlighted by "red herring," "two full moons...," and "kaleidoscope." any trance fan with common sense should buy this album. enjoy.
