Here is the third of the Pure Trance series. Eighteen more tracks of these nice trance songs. Even though a lot of the songs here sound all similar, it's still a good compilation. This album is un-mixed. This is the kind of album where there are g a p s in between the songs, instead of the mixing where the songs sound like they've runintogether.

Pure Trance 3 contains songs like the Kansai remix of Jan Johnston's 1995 trance hit "Calling Your Name." It's still a good remix of a song from nearly a decade ago. There's also Moby's "In My Heart." I've gotten addicted to this track, it's one of my favorites on here. Another good trance song on here is Riva's "Time Is The Healer," remixed by Armin Van Buuren. Armin Van Buuren's one of my favorite DJs. I'm gonna see him in an interview with XY-TV at the Virgin Megastore in Boston. This compilation also contains "And Then They Start To Dance" by DJ Snow Man. You hear a guy whispering "And then... they start... to dance..." with echoing. There's whispering echoes in Dito's "Sky" as well (Of course it's a different vocalist). Another nice trance song. My favorite out of all the tracks is "Welcome 2 Wonderland" by Y.O.M.C. The vocalist in the song says "Can you hear it? Can you feel it? Can you see it? Close your eyes. Welcome to wonderland!" in a deep bold voice. I would answer "yes" to the questions he asks. Other songs include "Angel" by Jezper Soderland, ATB's "I Will Not Forget", the Paul Van Dyk mix of Second Sun's "Empire", "One With The Universe" by O.S.I.R.I.S., DJ Dark Raven's "I Believe", and more.

This isn't a bad compilation. Good thing I listened to this album before I made my decision to buy it or not. After listening for myself, I bought it and I'm happy I did so. Should I do the same for volume four if they release it? Might be some more good stuff on that album as well as this one.

This is the first volume in the series that I've purchased and probably the last. I Figured I'd give it a chance at a quick glance at the store. It features some reputable artisits such as Ferry Corsten, Armin, Paul Van and Tiesto. However, it also features some of their not-so-hot remixes. There's no real muscle to it. The only song I actually enjoyed was Angel, by Jezper Sonderlund.

I try to listen to respectible and well done music. However, I set my standards for music aside when I listen to Trance. The music is so dramatic and accesible it's impossible to not sit back and just enjoy it. I started playing techno and dance music on my iPod while I skated some months ago and I've found that trance is the best for skating music. I'm really tempted to make a skatevideo using this stuff.

If you want to enjoy a fun record with a bunch of sings that hit the mark just right and some that sadly miss then get this one.

I've been enjoying trance for a few years now and typically like anything Van Dyk shows up on but this album is mediocure. Given a chance to sample 30 seconds of each track apparently wasn't enough to to know the entirety of it. I took a chance and, while not horribly disappointed, I wasn't screamingly impressed either.
