5.0 out of 5 stars The hard trance album I've been searching for, July 17, 2000

By 

Jeremy Bates (Berkeley, California) - See all my reviews

This CD is a perfect middle-ground between harder psy trance and the sometimes too delicate touch of the new progressive sound. PLEASE NOTE THAT I DISKLIKE THE ICU SESSION ONE ALBUM BUT ***LOVE*** THIS ONE - Approaching epic while angling away from anthem, Kimball Collins compiles and mixes an intense and truly satisfying set that is definately not cheezy.

Collins does not screw around here - He wastes no time with fuzzy intros as "Imagination" lays down a thumping beat almost immediately - songs build and build and build, both in urgency and fullness and "Lost in Love" adds warm beauty towards the end.

I was very pleased to see that Collins compiled the set, as some labels hand famous DJs a stack of records and a check. The track selection was tight and thoughtful - apparently some of these tracks are big in Europe but I haven't heard them on other CDs yet. So, in summary, this is a HARD, beautiful, well mixed and original set. A+

5.0 out of 5 stars BELIEVE THE HYPE, May 12, 2000

By 

Michael Seko (Vancouver) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Icu Generation: Trance 2000 Episode 01 (Audio CD)

If you read the previous reviews you'll get the idea that this cd is very good.

They are so right.

Everything that I read in the other reviews are bang on. This cd is unbelievable from track 1 thru track 11, from start to finish. Not only is the mixing smooth, but the track selection is OUTRAGEOUSLY HYPE. Kimball weaves his magic in mixing beautiful vocal tracks with non-vocal tracks--all are amazing to listen to. The mind-blowing progressions are found throughout the cd, and get you so hyped you'll jump out of your seat.

I can't tell you how good this cd is. Even my friends who hate trance admitted that this album was phenomenal.

If you like trance, or even if you don't, I can't recommend a better mixed album than this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just awesome, February 10, 2000

I have, in all honesty, never been a fan of Kimball Collins before listening to this cd. I was shocked, however, when I discovered that two songs I was dying to find were listed on the tracklisting. The Generator - Where Are You Now (Moonman Remix) and Sunscream - Exodus (Fire & Ice Remix) are absolute floorstompers and represent the best in European Progressive Trance. Although not every song off this mix-cd is worth a listen, the cd is overall packed with trance delights. Collins' mixing, in addition, is flawless. Unlike many DJs, Collins plays out each track almost to its entirity before weaving into the next track. Great job from Kimball.
