Favourite trance compilations?

What is your favourite trance compilation series?
Do you prefer mixed or unmixed tracks?
Which instalments of this series, or any other series, would you recommend the most? (e.g. not all Trancemaster CDs are "the best ever".)

I have recently started buying some of the Trancemaster CDs and they seem to vary a lot. So far I like TM 3007 and 3009 the most.

I used to like Reactivate when it was still around, favourite CDs being Reactivate 12 - 18. I prefer unmixed CDs.

Well, it's not entirely trance, but the Global Underground series is my favorite. For a really awesome compilation from it that IS trance, get Global Underground 013 - Sasha (Ibiza).

Hmm, I think GU can be a bit hit and miss. Some of them are really boring whereas others (and I certainly include the one you listed) are really good. It's not all trance, but there are a few of the CDs that really don't do anything for me.

The one I recommended about 75% of the people on these boards will agree is the best one of the series, go check it out.

I have heard it. I just don't personally view the GU series as a favourite. But I do like GU013.

in search of sunrise really got me into uplifting vocal

godskitchen 3 disc comp i really enjoy because it has such a broad variety and the transitions/mixes are awesome along with some great tunes

but the best would forsure have to be magik... heaven beyond and live in amsterdam are amazing...i can listen to those as many times and still enjoy it like my first time listening
