Large collection for the price, but not perfect.......2006-07-30

As with these sorts of all-inclusive collections, there are issues to be had with 'National Anthems of the World' as performed by the Swarovski Orchestra. Primary--to me--is that these performances and arrangements come off as being rather sterile and bland, though it's perhaps not surprising since I doubt very much that most of the nationalities of the nations represented here have citizens actually in the Swarovski Orchestra. There's little of the passion that a national band or orchestra would have in playing their own nation's anthem, much like listening to a generic studio band play play a collection of college fight songs (and there ARE CDs of those out for sale as well).

That said, this 2-disc CD set does offer a wide spectrum of national anthems, though it does a far better job of covering European nations more so than any other region. For instance, Central America is poorly represented in this collection as is Africa which, aside from Cameroon, the heart of that continent is conspicuously ill-depicted. But the biggest omission is China; neither the mainland or Taiwanese anthems are included in this set. Considering that The People's Republic of China is the most populous nation on earth, as well as a global political and economic force to be reckoned with, even in 1996 (this CD set dates from 2004, but at least one online database list the contents from the mid-1990s), this is a glaring oversight in my opinion.

The final gripe deals with the included documentation. Each of these anthems DO have titles to them, none of which the producers of this collection ever bother to mention and provide. One has to go to Wikipedia or some other resource to look up the actual name of the anthems included here. This is information that is relatively cheap to research and out of courtesy to the consumer should've been provided for this set, especially since this collection has been around in some form for over a decade already.

For the money, it's a fairly good buy for those who want a collection of national anthems. But the producers could've done a better job of compiling the contents of this collection, and what music there is would've certainly benefitted from a bit more impassioned play.

excellent selection & quality sound.......2005-08-27

Swarovski Orchestra did an excellent job in this compilation. I work in Foreign Service & I use this CD to play US anthem & the host country anthem during events. Unlike other compilations which shorten the pieces, this offers full-length pieces saving me from embarrassment.

Dance Music Extraordinaire.......2001-02-05

I first heard a bit of Greece 2000 while listening to a BBC Radio 1 web rebroadcast of a Radio 1 DJ mixing at a London club. I was stunned, and began an intense, month long search to discover the title and artist. I browsed and posted everywhere on the 'Net, and finally a kind soul came through. I couldn't find nor order it locally: the closest source was on the East coast and the shop charged a premium price (even for an import) but it was well worth it. That was a couple of years ago and while, on rare occasions, I've come across tracks that come close (Komakino: Beyond Your Dreams, Sash: Encore Un Fois, Future Breeze Mix, Grace: Not Over Yet) I've found nothing that surpasses Greece 2000.

A few notes of praise in reference to the eight minute 'Original Mix': the intricate layering of various sounds and beats is the product of sheer genius: the myriad of rythms and textures somehow coalesce into a hypnotic, transcendant work of art. The use of alternating periods of deep layering with simpler, quieter portions is masterful. Finally, besides the sheer enjoyment of listening to the music, I find it fascinating from a technical, creative standpoint: how can someone weave so many seperate and intricate elements together into one brilliantly cohesive whole? Of course, it's not Beethoven's Ninth, but I'm still amazed that somone could put it all together so expertly and make it work so well.

I realize that much of this smacks of hyperbole but, rest assured, I'm not exaggerating: read the other reviews and judge for yourself. If you like Trance, Dance, or just have an eclectic interest in hearing the best that any genre has to offer, buy this CD.

just buy it - you know you want it.......2000-10-11

tall paul, oakenfold to sasha and fontaine have blasted out this massive track, even the house legend carl cox favoured this massive german tune, if you dont buy this monster track you will never appreciate the brilliant rifts that spell bind the listener. buy it you will love it especially track 3 magic pure class an oldy but goody

One of the best tunes in my box.......1998-12-21

This has to be one of the tunes of the year. Everywhere I play this tune people are up on the dance floor screaming for more, with those banging hard beats warming you up for the best part when it drops into a trance break that will get anyone to there feet and start rocking.Possible the best tune of the year. DJ NOIS-E-NOMAD

the original was so catchy, that remixing it (i thought) would only kill it; IN ACTUALITY, the remixes carry 'greece 2000' higher and further, as all of them make a sincere impact on the music scene. i've been in a radio and live dj for almost 2 years now, and this is one trance song that will forever be in my repertoire. get it in yours, too! you won't regret it.

This song is absolutely gorgeous.......2002-11-06

OK OK I haven't heard most of the remixes, bloody hell, I just got done listening to Greece 2000 but based on what I've heard, this song is absolutely stunning! It's a very dark, trancey track that is not too much different from Robert Miles club hit 'Children' except for that it does not have the "whomp...whomp...whomp" beats of Children. It has alot of those gorgeous guitars like those at the beginning of Children. In fact I must say that Greece 2000 is like a calmer cousin of the Miles hit. If you can find it, this song is worthy of having on disc!
