5.0 out of 5 stars Best 2 disc trance mix of the year, thus far., May 11, 2006

Solid stuff from trance icon ATB! Nearly 3 months after this 2 disc set was released in ATB's home country, Germany, it gets a US release. Thankfully it even got a release here, as ATB DJ in the Mix 2, released in Germany a little over a year ago, never came out here. #1 was a 2 disc trance staple that I am sure most of you owned back then. He upped the ante each time, providing a near perfect track selection on 2, but the mixing in a few spots was a bit shaky. Here, he checks in with another stellar track line-up, and a much better mixing effort, to release the best of the DJ in the Mix series so far, and the best 2 disc trance mix this year.

ATB picked some of the best vocal tracks in trance, along with some great instrumentals. Just to prove how good at selecting tracks he is, a lot of the ones he chose for this one, are just now coming out on other DJ mixes, even though this was released 3 months ago, and these tracks are still quite fresh.

He starts the mix off with his excellent new male vocal track, Summer Rain. I never really liked Tiesto's UR and Without you Near, as male vocals tracks to me have to be really perfect to sound good, however they fit really well into the mix and don't mind listening through them. Disc 1 has some stunning instrumentals including Giuseppe Ottaviani's Linking People, Mark Norman's Touch Down, and my favorite on the disc, Jonas Steur's Silent Waves. Solarscape's Alive and Headstrong feat. Tiff Lacey's Close Your Eyes offer some superb female vocal trance.

Disc 2's standouts include Mirco De Govia's Vital Spark; ATB's own remix of the track Fever by a new artist, Shifted Reality, that it appears he produced (listed as ATB music productions); the mostly forgotten original version of Luminary's Wasting, which I like much better than the Andy Moor mix everyone is using lately; and the Funabashi remix of Hiver and Hammer's Fusion.

He really keeps proving that between his myriad of good artist albums, huge collection of hit singles, and 3 excellent 2 disc trance mixes, that it's hard to pick a better all around trance DJ than ATB.

If you want the best single disc trance mix of the year thus far, which unfortunately hasn't gotten a US release, it's Monster Series Vol. 1/Germany, by Ronski Speed. It actually came out in late 2005 and it's a great mix. Other 2 disc trance mixes you should check out are SolarStone's Destinations, George Acosta's All Rights Reserved, Tiesto's In Search of Sunrise 5, and although I haven't heard it yet, with the track selection I have seen, it looks like Armin may give this one a run for it's money as best 2 disc mix of the year with State of Trance 2006. Check my review there when that one comes out.

I bought this based on reviews here and glad I did! It's solid danceable uplifting trance. If you like Armin you'll dig this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just getting into ATB, June 29, 2006

My first ATB cd and i love it. my fav tracks are "Summer Rain"
"Amsterdam" "Without You Near"(this track has some of the best melodies and vocals i'v ever heard) "Alive".
Anyway cd 1 i think is better if your into more vocal trance.
And cd 2 flows different its more smooth.

Basically this is mostly melodic trance. If your into something harder check out george acosta or christopher lawrence.
