5 out of 5 stars Awsome Cd - a must hear!!!!.......2001-04-20

This was the first time I had ever heard trance music. I fell in love with this collection and now I am hooked. I would recommend this cd to any one who loves trance music or is their first time and would like to hear what it is like. It is a collection of songs from various artists like Trance and LSG, but it gives you a clue what those artists will sound like. Hints: Into aerobics? Makes a great work-out cd. Also, play this collection wearing headphones while everything around you is quite. This collection will give you an out of this world experience!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars um um good.......2000-11-22

DJ Anthony Pappa (Global Underground NUbreed) magically mixes classic trance hits from well known artists like the Art of Trance and Union Jack, and also lesser known but my favorite Poltergeist. Please listen to Poltergeist's Vicious Circles. I think this song came out in 93 but still sounds amazingingly progressive and not-outdated. There's a new 12" release of this song mixed by Mogwai which came out recently (Nov 2000). Anyway, this Best of album comes with two discs compiled with great classic trance tunes one could only get from 12" vinyls. Pappa picked the right mixes/versions to keep the album going strong, with smooth transition. He didn't just beat matched, he picked the right songs in the right order for a purpose--keeping you in a state of trance/good relaxation mode in the end, wanting to listen to more of this. I have to give this a 5 star because I think it should be every trance music fans' collector item. Get this and you'll be happy.

5 out of 5 stars the best trance CD(s) i've ever heard.......2000-06-05

if you're a fan of any kind of trance i highly recommend this album. i thought platipus' "ultimate dream collection" was untoppable but this one does it. every song is good and it's mixed very well, so the emotional attachment never really stops nor does the urge to dance (or at least bob your head). it has many classic songs (in my opinion) highlighted by "red herring," "two full moons...," and "kaleidoscope." any trance fan with common sense should buy this album. enjoy.

4 out of 5 stars a journey through Platipus's finest trance creations.......2000-05-14

This is tricky to review, for several reasons. Undoubtedly almost all of these tracks are classics and/or standouts. Unfortunately, you have a chunk of these already if you are a trance fan- these songs are all over various compilations. While it's not the label's fault their stuff is good, it'll be up to you to decide if you want to hear a portion of your trance collection remixed and in a different track order.

But if you don't have much trance, well there's definitely quality here. Without covering all 24 songs and artists, I'll just say you won't be disappointed by the mixing or the songs. But beware that some of these tunes are older and there is a wider variety of styles than you'd get on a normal comp because of it.

I'm giving it a 4, but beware that if you have a trance collection you'll have portions of this and if you are new to the genre this isn't the ideal CD to start with.

I heard a few of its tracks and decided to buy it....kinda disappointed. If you are looking for techno, proggy stuff...maybe ...but not for the core tiesto fans

    The selection of tracks on this cd leaves nothing to wish,they're all there,but the mixing could have been done a litle better.I am a Platipus collector and buy EVERYTHING including the 12 versions if I can afford it and really dig their music and must say some of the mixes are about insanely perfect but there are those few which compromise the entire album.Platipus isn't that hard to mix you know.Overal no shame in buying this album,an absolute must have.
