Tranceformer 2000, April 23, 2000
This review is from: Tranceformer 2000 (Audio CD)
Piccotto's mix is hard and progressive. It is trance but with elements of house. My fav tracks are Pulsar, Imperiale, Lizard, Out of the Blue, Gouryella,and Iguana. Not a stunner but if you are a fan of house and trance, it's something different. This is perhaps a new genre of trance... The second cd with Lange is one of the best uplifting trance mix i've heard. Very melodic, sometimes dreamy, and extremely danceable. Tracks with vocals should put you in a euphoric state. I would buy the whole compilation just for Lange's mix. It's that good! If I were to rate the 2 cds separately, Piccotto would be 3.5 and Lange 5.0, with considerations that i'm bias towards trance.

Try Tranceformer 1999, March 20, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Tranceformer 2000 (Audio CD)
I waited for nearly a month to obtain this album - after buying Tranceformer 1999 in London, I knew I had to have this year's comp too. Beware, however, because 2000 doesn't quite match up to its predecessor. The second disc is much better, and generally worthwhile, but the first, mixed by Mauro Piccotto, falls miserably flat. Especially good on Lange's disc is the Seven Cities remix. All in all, if you've got a penny or two to burn, you'll get at least half your money's worth. And if you don't already have Tranceformer 1999 (gray box set), make it your mission to procure a copy - the Euphoria comp makes for a good investment too.

Almost worth the money, August 16, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Tranceformer 2000 (Audio CD)
35 Beans for a cd is a bit much and this set is almost worth it...At that price its a steal.... No matter what cds I bought after this, I keep turning back to it....It just won't die....Picotto does a good job stress good because it tends to dip into hard dark house like others say (that I tend to find annoying some of the time).... But it does have some catchy tracks mixed in very well.... Lange however, puts it over the top with his soft mellodic trance...He has a lot of programming input, more than other DJ's, and he uses them to his advantage as this cd keeps me coming back... I guess the name Tranceformer rings true as it changes from hard to soft, dark to light....but enough of the analogies, don't over look this set, if you can find it for under 25 you will definately get your time and moneys worth... For now, ICU Generation Episode 0.1 with Kimball Collins is my choice for the sleeper cd at amazon.
