I bought this CD due to the fact that I love the HedKandi label and the review I saw on this site. I now realise how seriously I was duped. This really is an awful and dry and boring compiliation. Most of the best tracks are already found on other exceptional Hedkhandi albums. Such as Deeper and Beach House 2&3. As well the Nude Dimension compilation 3

Unless you like hard driving trance I suggest that you give this compilation a wide berth. Save your money and get the above CD not only will you get the choice cuts that are included on Ibiza Base but you will also find some other delightful tracks.

Hed Kandi's Mark Doyle has put out a number of compilation series, and the first of the Base Bar series was the pinnacle for the series.
It is the only one that has its tracks unmixed.
All of the subsequent releases in the series were "DJ-mixed", and that brought about a storm of complaints that unfortunately went unheard at Hed Kandi.
I regret that Mark never considered releasing both a mixed and unmixed version of later releases, as I definitely prefer listening to every beat the original remixer intended, rather than listening to a truncated version of it mixed with other tracks.
The Kings of Tomorrow and Depeche Mode tracks alone make this compilation worth purchasing!
Any of the other stellar tracks just make this compilation an even better investment!

I don't know what fools were listening and reviewing this CD, but i'm way against the norm here. This CD is so good. The tracks are both soothing and gets you moving too - it just makes you happy! Since I have been to Ibiza and specifically the bar Base Ibiza, i can tell you it captures the essence of this amazing island better than those "CLASSIC TRANCE" compilations. Overall, this CD is great and you better listen to those clips before you buy.

This complilation has some good tunes, but many of them have been over marketed on other compilations, including other Hed Kandi productions. I don't know if it's just my copy, but some of the songs sound like they were recorded from vinyl, and have scratches and jumps in the middle of songs. If this were a mix, that might be ok, but I think there are many other Hed Kandi cd's out there that would be more worth your money. I would try the first Es Vive compilation.

This CD lacks in so many ways. A disappointment.

I dont know what happen whit Mar Doyle , that its not his style

please save your money for other tittle
