I absolutely love this album!!! I can't stop listening to it...I think I've been dancing since I got it last week. It's like going to the club without the $40 cover and line around the block.
When ThriveMix 01 came out, I bought it for the stellar tracklisting of songs I knew but hadn't heard remixes of, such as Kelly Clarkson, Nina Sky, and Ryan Cabrera, all of which turned out to be great. So when ThriveMix 02 came out I bought it on faith that they would continue the quality, and I was not let down. Now, here is a more focused album for those who love trance and not just the radio hits remixed.
It's hard to choose, by my favorite tracks are Narcotic Thrust's "Waiting For You", Late Night Alumni's "Empty Streets" and of course Tiesto's remix of "He's A Pirate". But I was pleasantly surprised with all the songs, including ones from artists I didn't know before, like Burning Spear or Luminary. I love Paul Oakenfold's remix of Burning Spear (who I found out is a reggae legend), and the remix of Imogen Heap's "Hide & Seek" works despite the emotional weight of the song (made popular by The O.C.). Also check out the great remixes of iio and Conjure One, and the very fun Bob Sinclar "World, Hold On", which IMHO is better than "Love Generation".

BUY THIS! YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

It's not actually trance.. they are some of the best dance house tracks to get you up and moving. very enjoyable and full of energy.

I must say, growing up, i was never exposed to this kind of music. As a music Buff, i decided to give the genre a chance after finding that i was growing tired of the repetition of hip hop, pop and and all of the mainstream genres that i had only known of. I actually was exposed to this genre by a gay friend who took me to his favorite nightclub and i never really grew an interest for it. It wasn't until i bought this album that the interest emerged out of nowhere. I cannot stop listening to this album! Its down right awesome! The music takes control of your senses and you will find your head beating to every song on both cds! I must say i hope that Trance becomes more mainstream in the U.S. because we really are missing out. Anywho, i love this type of music, its so fun and engaging!

This double-disc is chart trance. The tracks are radio-friendly cheese that you will likely find played on most radio stations. If you are into the club scene, and are hoping to find a cd that has that sound, you'll be disappointed with this purchase. However, if you're looking for something to listen to while getting ready to head out to a club, maybe this chart trance collection will suit your needs.
