There will always be a hater or two., March 28, 2006
This review is from: DJ in the Mix (Audio CD)
I bought this CD about 2 years ago, back when DJ favoritism was really bad. It still exists, but just isn't as bad, cause alot of DJs actually work together now when it comes to providing insight or producing and such.
This has always been a special CD in my collection, and I felt compelled to write a review after seeing someone gave it 2 stars I believe.
The track selection was great, but I knew this CD would get discredited some because ATB made this a DJ mix, and you can tell in the first couple of songs, it has an almost live feel, and he's using different types of transitions, as opposed to pushing something out via ableton live that is already beatmatched and doesn't need to use these DJing techniques. Don't get me wrong though, because I love mixes that have used that software, also. So I'm in no way being biased, I'm just saying at first, it will be something you aren't used to, but it is a true DJ mix, and you'll come to respect that as I did hopefully.

A great mix of great music, February 14, 2004
I have always been an ATB fan, ever since Movin' Melodies came out. His style of trance is one of a kind; great melodies, cool beats, and chilled moments. This mixed double cd and third chill cd, is the first by ATB since he did Trance Mix USA. That cd was good, this is great. All the tracks on the 2 mixed cd's are a really good collection of all the latest progressive trance. It also has great remixes of some club favorites. If you only buy one cd by ATB, this should be it. However, all four of ATB's albums are great, it is his own music, as only ATB can do it. It is really too bad that this mixed cd is an IMPORT ONLY, you will not find it in any store, so don't waste your time....Forget about all the hundreds of mixed cd's out there, believe me, this is one of the best! P.S. You really can't go wrong when buy cd's with either ATB, Tiesto, Van Dyk, Oakenfold, or Van Buuren's name on them....Those are the collections you should always look for!

What An Amazing High!!! ;o Emotionally Generated Mix..., November 8, 2006
This review is from: DJ in the Mix (Audio CD)
Like all the others that posted their reviews, I've been listening to Trance for quite some time. I bought this CD at a time when I almost gave up on this kind of music. Why give up on Trance? Well, personally, there are few Mixes out there that can hold the attention of the average listener. Its a fact that many people automatically label Trance as monotonous and boring. However, this Mix by ATB is quite the opposite. This Euphoric, Emotionally Generated Mix brings life to Trance. I'm pleased to have found this Mix.
Final thoughts: I'm perplexed why anybody would rate this CD two stars. "No Silence", also by ATB, cannot be compared to this CD since that album is almost completely different but still an ATB signature creation. No Silence contains more vocal trance, and when compared to a Mix there is a big difference. Rating this CD, "DJ in the Mix", so poorly is an injustice to ATB and his productions. He happens to be #8 on the DJ List; One of the world's top 10 DJs! I voice this opinion because I happen to own both of these CDs ( No Silence / Dj in the Mix ). Although each create a different feeling with a different style, they are both awesome and from the same source - ATB. Andre Tenneberger has skill; Haters,.. Just give it up for ATB!
