I must say i'm a die hard Trance fan and don't really care for House music, but this CD isn't bad. The guy at the record store told me it had a mix of both House and Trance and I figured a double CD for 10 bucks what the hell why not check it out. I think my 10 bucks was well spent. It has a awesome Paul Van Dyk remix of "10 in 1" which is the best track on either of the CD's. This is a good CD for fans of House music, but die hard Trance addicts won't care for this except for a few Trance tracks on this compilation which is mostly House, but still not a bad compilation

This CD is not good. It's a nonstop pulsating beat with almost no lyrics. I was hoping for something similar to the DMA compilation tapes. This is not it.

Though there are some out there that are far superior, this 2-disc compilation isn't bad. The only problem is, it doesn't hook you at first listen like some other ones I've heard. After a few listens, some of the really obscure tracks came around to me with three of them having me going out and buying their single counterparts ("The Underground", Suzanne Palmer's remake of Kosheen's "Hide U" and Bel Amour's "Bel Amour") One of the songs that stands out is Pound Boys' "K Pasa". This is a great little ditty that will get caught in your head for days. I agree with the other reviewer on here when he says "K Pasa" should be on more compilations. I've searched for the single on 12" or CD and have had no luck. Yeah, this CD set has some overplayed stuff (Darude, mind you and Voodoo & Serrano) but some of the no-so-known tracks stand out here (like "K Pasa"). I like the fact that Riva's original "Stringer" is on here in original full form without Danni Minogue's vocals (most trance fans know this song as "Who do you Love Now?"). Still for the price, it isn't bad. Just give it a chance. You'll like it.

This is an excellent compilation. It even has both of my favorite songs on here: "Blood Is Pumpin'" and "The Underground". The song "K Pasa" is very catchy. I wish it would appear on more compilations. "The Underground" is a must have for anyone who likes tribal house. However, there was something on here that did not please me. They shouldn't have used the extended mix of The Underground because the mixing is too long at the end of it, or there just should have been less mixing. Either way would make this a whole lot better. There are also some songs on here that I think could go, such as "Everybody Everywhere" (terrible vocals) and "How Do You Like Bass" (overplayed) therefore making room for less mixing and extended versions of some of the radio edits on here, such as "Push" and "Lui". Otherwise, this CD is a great addition to my house/trance/club CD collection, and it should be to anyone's. And there are many songs on here with lyrics, I don't know what you people are talking about. Out of the thirty songs here, over twenty three of them have lyrics. Almost every track on Disc 2 has lyrics. The beat isn't non-stop, it does stop and change a lot.
