Mediocrity at its finest.First off, this compilation proudly boasts "Three CDs Of Mind Blowing Trance - Rave Anthems From Top International DJs & Producers". This would be true if the producer considers 'international DJ' as some random guy outside his home who has an interest in EDM. I'm pretty damn sure no top DJ or producer has touched these tracks.Speaking of 'artists', All the artists on the first 2 discs are all aliases of one guy. Yep, One guy. I don't know why this guy didn't just release these all under one name, probably to keep the charade of being professional up. Eclectic progressive trance is basically the gist of material on these discs, and they aren't that good. While some things pop out more then others, nothing here is going to be THAT killer track in your next set. One of the tracks on the first disc actually gave me a mental image of a NBA player standing for photos at a press conference. Probably not the best image to have when listening to EDM.Also, the QC bothers me. As someone who has been educated in audio engineering and CD mastering to a degree, having 11 seconds at the start of a track before the song actually starts is not good ("Rainbow"). Don't get me going on some of the quick fade outs that sound like they were done in a cheap audio editor.For whatever reason, they don't list the track listing of the 3rd disc, and it's all completely different material, likely other actual artists. Most of them are actually a bit better then the previous two discs.Overall, this is G-A-R-B-A-G-E. The cover art looks very nice, but this is a case of a wolf in sheeps clothing. Seeing as this was released on a sublabel of Cleopatra, I shouldn't be too surprised.

I bought it used ages ago, and the thing that pisses me off is the lack of info for the 3rd cd. That's unacceptable. The only thing worse is the Anabolic Frolic "This is Hullabaloo!" session CDs that are ONE LONG MIXED TRACK WITH NO INFO. Seriously, everything else by him is golden so I'm not sure what happened there.

I question myself the same thing: Why fill a disc with random moniker names when in reality, it's the same person all along. Take this compilation series for example: https://www.discogs.com/Various-New-York-Tekkno-Sampler-1/master/648929Despite the different names, it's Nico Vorkapich behind every single one. I'm aware that the usage of monikers was popular during the 90's. Though, I can't find much point in using 10-14 to cover up a CD, it technically isn't a compilation since every track was made by the same person. As for the music, I haven't heard the CD set. When listening to music as obscure as this, generally there is a lot of mediocrity surrounding it. Though that is what I enjoy about very obscure music: Finding hidden gems that virtually no one knows about. I obviously can't speak about your music taste, though based on mine, I'm sure it's not going to be god awful. Though very likely to be either average or mediocre.
