Thrivemix is releasing these compilation cds left and right. I might be wrong, but I think that this is the fifth dance compilation that thrivemix has put out in the last year. It's also my least favorite. There are some good songs here. I still love "Flashdance" by Deep Dish. There's also a new version of "Rapture" by dance favorite Iio. However, most of the tracks on here are just mediocre. If you want a good Thrivemix collection, buy Thrivemix Presents Dance Anthems.

This mix is absolutly AMAZING! Since the I bought it, I have not been able to take it out of my car cd player. The track selection and mix really keeps me moving, I loaded it on my iPod and its perfect for my workouts. I love the new version of iio "Rapture", Sunfreaks, Deep Dish, Chris Lake, Depeche Mode.... I mean all the selections and artists are fantastic. I own all the other cds in the ThriveMix collection and the quality is always OUTSTANDING!

If this is supposed to be a trance CD, then there better be some TRANCE on it. If I wanted a house or dance CD, I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT ONE!! But I wanted a trance CD, I paid for a trance CD, and there was only a handful of trance on it! I'm not saying that I don't like house or dance, I'm just saying that I don't want it on a trance CD! Johnny Vicious should just stick to making the other thrivemix CDs and leave the trance compilations to someone who knows what they're doing. A major dropoff from the first which I thought was great. Yeah, there was a few trance tracks on it, but hardly any of them could be considered "anthems". The only thing keeping this from receiving 1 star was the few good house, trance, and dance tracks on it. Disappointing.

This is a great mix. I found myself liking almost every song and that's very rare for me with most compilations. Gabriel and Dresdens "Dangerous Power" and Delerium's "Lost and Found" remixes on this album are a must hear. The Trentemoller remix Moby's "Go" is worth buying the CD altogether. The PVD remix of Depeche Mode is excellent too. I love this album because it is not your usual repetitive trance album. It moves from vocal and melodic to electro tinged trance and it has some big club tunes (like the Iio, Sunfreakz and Chris Lake tracks) that while maybe not traditional trance, are huge songs that really round out the mix. This is one of few compilations where I will load the entire album onto my Ipod.

Once again ThriveMix has put out a brilliant TranceAnthems compilation. I love the trance remixes of Depeche Mode, Hilary Duff, and iiO. And since I just saw Wicked, I was pretty stoked to see the remix of 'Defying Gravity.' I have all of the ThriveMix line, and this was a pleasant addition.
