This DVD is Paul Oakenfolds Voyage into Trance with Chromadepth 3d visuals. I'm glad I purchased this although I already owned the CD. The visuals make it worth the buy if thats what your looking for. The DVD only comes with 1 set of glasses. I wanted more so others could watch with me and they are available online for purchase. When purchasing them everywhere had a choice between regular glasses and HD glasses for the same price. Their explanation was that the HD is for movies, regular are for still pics/comics. When they arrived I soon realized the DVD comes with the regular glasses and there is definately a noticeable difference. I would recommed getting the HDs especially if your looking to get more so others may view as well. Overall I recommed purchasing this.

What's funny is that people are going to rate the music, and be harsh because they have heard one or 20 better tracks out there. Granted Oakenfold isn't the best techno on the planet, especially when new songs are soon forgotten replaced by something better.. you have to admit some of us are pretty harsh in trying to judge music in general. With that being said, if anyone has ever wanted to space out and watch tv, this DVD is completely great for that. Turn out all the lights, pop on the Home Theatre system or better yet get some noise cancelling headphones, and watch this. I haven't seen anything else like it and after purchasing this a lot of my friends were amazed and bought their own copies. The Chromadepth glasses are beyond your basic 3-D technology, in fact you can make it look interesting too if you add your own light bending 3-D glasses to the Chromadepth glasses included with this DVD. If you are inebriated in any way, not that I condone that lol, it brings this to a whole new level. Maybe it won't be like your typical rave, but just something fun to do at home from time to time. If you hate the music, play your own and mute this (Tool works well), but the combination of techno and the 3-D graphics is very smooth and easing to the mind.

It's a very cool and relaxing video, something when you wish to lay down and unplug for some time, the 3D goggles really make it super.

As I was loaned a copy, set down and adjusted the 3D glasses, and saying, "Oh, Brother, done this before.",I was ready to be disappointed.
However, who-ever did the visuals has to be commended. NICE JOB!
Yes, about 90% of the 3D visuals work, and there's some repetition (as in the trance music itself (duh)). But there are some parts that will have you laughing and/or saying to yourself, "That's the way 3D is supposed to be".

The music breaks no new ground, as it is "old" Oakenfold, but the music combined with the fun 3D is worth the novelty of the disc. Hear it on a 5.1 system, and as usual the music effects are/ sounds great! In fact, as I write this, I'm buying my own copy, and sending one to a friend. Just for fun.

When was the last time YOU had fun listening to a DVD music disc?

Oakenfold rules the treance/techno scene. That's a given. He's nowhere to be found on this DVD though. It is just his album, basically, with a light and laser show. You could get the same effect playing the CD on your computer and watching the show that Windows Player shows. This is just for true fans who rewally feel the need to collect everything with Oakenfold's name on it. Good addition to the collection, though.

It's not very often a good recording like Voyage Into Trance comes along. Oakenfold recorded this disc some 10 years ago and has gone back and remastered it.
This is not new.

The reason you would want to own this, however, is because you get some very cool trance tracks mastered into Dolby Digital 5.1
If you have a home theatrte system and you love trance - this is the DVD for you.

Oh and if you like this pick up Underworld - Everything, Everything as well.

Good Music But it doesnt have videos. Just games of lights.

Meditation and trance are about slow visuals that have a single focal point and slow music. This is strictly rave party stuff. The music is techno pop which is anything but relaxing and the visuals jerk your eyes all over the screen. I found this dvd to be tolerable only when I turned the sound off and substituted some ambient music and then slowed the visuals down to at least half speed. If you are still curious get the cheapest one.
