2.0 out of 5 stars Good track selection... terrible sound quality., February 1, 2003

This review is from: Touched (Audio CD)

I've been a fan George Acosta for a long time now, having bought every one of his albums. I do like the track selection and the way he mixes it but I have to say, the sound quality on this album is very poor. There are several times throughout the CD where there is static, hissing, crackling and just plain distortion. I know live DJ sets are straight from vinyl so record static is to be expected, but this goes way beyond that. There was obviously a major breakdown somewhere during the post production of this album. I have a lot ot these types of albums in my music collection and I have never heard one this bad. At times you have to skip to the next track the distortion is so bad. Big ups to George for his mixing of these tracks, but thumbs WAY DOWN for the production of this album. Someone should have caught this major problem before it was mass produced and released to his fans worldwide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jesus!, August 5, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Touched (Audio CD)

Im an Armin Van Buuren, Tiesto, PVD fan and really never thought of buying a CD from George Acosta, but I read somewhere on the internet that it was a pretty good CD. So I held my breath and paid for it. After unwrapping it in my car and started it, I heard Armins mix "Yet Another Day", I thought ok, thank you George for that. Than......after that song, the rest is pure ecstacy, awesome job George, my hat goes off to you and as my respect. Great choice of music and mix, beautifully done. I'm glad I invested my money on this. Thank You George Acosta, and Im happy to say, we're both from Miami where we're starting to appreciate Trance music, FINALLY!

4.0 out of 5 stars Wow!!, March 24, 2003

This review is from: Touched (Audio CD)

Let me start off by saying that the only reason this album got 4 stars instead of 5 was because of the bad sound quality at different parts of the recording. I don't understand why they didnt take time to correct this (the insert says something about some of the tracks coming from analog and thus being of lower sound quality - I don't really buy that as many many albums contain tracks taken from analog sources and don't produce that kind of hiss - oh well...)

For those people that had something negative to say about the track selection - please put together a list of albums for me because I own a lot of electronic music, and this is one of the best overall trance compilations I have heard. I was blown away by this album. I don't have much by Acosta, but after hearing this and his previous (Next Level), I will likely buy everything that he has done in the past 5 years. Acosta really satifies those listeners looking for the hard to find but still beautiful harder trance, as well as dropping some excellent melodic tracks on the first CD. I must also point out that track number 11, 'Secret Memory'(produced by Acosta himself), on the first disc is absolutely excellent. Some other notables are both Cosmic Gate tracks, Sunspot (Airwave vs. Rising star, #9 - disc 1), 2nd Step (Dj Wag,#9 -Disc 2), Red Planet (Avatar, #10 - Disc 2)and Acosta's second fabulous production on this mix 'Dance with the Sun' - Disc 2 last track.

Enjoy!! This mix is well worth the money!
