There are some definite impact songs offered in this 3 pack party from Gatecrasher that will find there way into the best clubs that spin house and trance (some already have)! Songs like "Troy" (WOW!!! Sinead will plaster you to the ceiling and not let you come down), "Godd" (an amazing edgy hard hands in the air finish for any CD), "Club Bizzare" (the hardest rippin mental trance danceable in the set), "Suburban Train" (which has already seen some exposure on other mixes but a classic) are just some of the goodies that will definitely make you sweat and bounce. The mixing throughout is solid and tight but "some" of the filler songs are a little boring. Like any hot mix in this genre, a five star rating should be reserved for those golden CD's that you find yourself playing from start to finish without skipping around...that's why I give this 3 pack a four....great songs but you will want to skip around to find them !! HOWEVER the Chill CD is a pure dream and waaaaaaay better than the one offered on the Gatecrasher Digital (the black counterpart 2002 release)...I'm not a huge chill fan but this one is the goods !! You will feel like you are floating on this super silky smooth mix !!! Gatecrasher Experience 2002 pulls together some hot club dance-lovelies for the raver in all of us plus finishes with super smooth chillin'....overall a solid 4 lollie rating with only slight deductions made for the hefty price tag and the inability to maintain intensity....then again you do have to take a breath from time to time!!

I mean i bought this lasts night and i must say its pretty good. Its one of those cds that you just sit and chill to in your room and think about everything around you. Or atleast it does that to me. But if you are looking at buying it i picked a copy up at Best Buy and they had it for ( $12) so i def def suggest checkin your local one out. I asked the guy why it was so cheap and he was like "i dunno" so im not going to complain.

This 3CD Set compilation is great first of all because of the artist that are put in it, going from Rank 1 to Blank & Jones to Mauro Picotto, can't get better than any of this, this cd is filled with great melodic and soft trance, that is so uplifting that you'll never want to set your finger on the pause button.

Really really disappointing! If you looking for something similar to Gatecrasher Discotech set or Global Sound System, you won't find it in this one. This one is very dark, heavy, pounding tek-trance style. Although mixing is pretty good, on the other hand it's a lot easier to mix heavy trance. For those of you who really liked the Discotech set, skip this one, save youself disappointment and money.

There are heavy techno dance disks; there are trancier blissouts... though the quiet disk 3, which is like Pink Floyd on ecstasy is pretty much up there; but this collection moves beyond Gatecrashers more commercial tendencies into a more blissed out drift, which has moments of such sweetness, whilst not compromising on relentless beat. It is a desert island disk. A must have. I couldn't live without it.

Highlight cuts include;
Universal State of Mind's "All Because of You"... slow trance build into bliss, with the growing rising beat... pure heaven
Bassmen's "Sending SOS"... picking up on the euphoric elements of the Police track "Message in the Bottle"
DJ Wag's "Life on Mars"... a dark foreboding intense dance trip across the universe
Mauro Picotto's "Bangkok"... with Picotto's normally extraordinary insistent pounding beat

I'm new to the Trance scene but while I was in Hobart, Tasmania, A DJ turned me on to this CD set. It hasn't left my CD player in 3 weeks! I absolutely love this! also try Gods Kitchen.

I've been a fan of Gatecrasher since day 1, and let me tell you that slide to since Discotech has taken a sharp turn the other way. This album is outstanding. Period. Get it now, cause you don't know what you're missing.

...Disc 1 is good, quite a few good tracks, it starts and finishes nicely with good mixing. this cd is progressive-y trance.

Disc 2 is alright, perhaps a little bit boring and repetitive at times, though on the whole, it's enjoyable. this cd is hard(er) trance

Disc 3 is excellent, i love this sort of stuff. it's very ambient, slow and relaxing but maintains some excellent sound throughout. this cd is ambient.

I purchased the cd in Australia, for [money] and for 3 cd's this is excellent value, and i daresay worth it.

I should also mention i am not a huge fan of gatecrasher. i prefer the older less commercial stuff like "Rave Mission" and "Ravermeister". however, i think gatecrasher is taking steps in the right direction.

but as i said, this is just my personal opinion, feel free to disagree or agree. and don't let my opinion DECIDE whether you should get this cd or not. that choice is yours...

It's good. Dreamland, eternal, cliffhanger, song to the siren, MORPH, et al. Quality techno with science behind it that makes your heart beat faster, and your brain think louder. ONE DAY I WILL MEET YOU IN PERSON GATECRASHER!!

THE BEST ALBUM YOU WILL EVER BUY.
