Can anyone suggest a decent unmixed Anthem/Uplifting Trance compilation worth purchasing. I already have A STATE OF TRANCE CLASSICS Vol 1 & 2, and I know that Volume 3 is going to be released in September. But I'm looking for another Classic Compilation/album. I like any tunes by Airwave; Push; Kamaya Painters; Allure(Tiesto); Corsten; Sean Tyas; Rank 1; SolarStone; Flutlicht; Yahel; Above & Beyond. Anyone know of a Classic unmixed compilation with the likes of these producers.

I've been thinking of buying "BONZAI WORX - 15 YEARS OF MUSIC". I just want to know if there's anything better on the market.

Quite the demanding type aren't you?

Hey, when you live in South Africa, it's pretty difficult to hear any trance on the radio. Finding Classic Trance compilations is twice as difficult.

I see you have internet, finding stuff like that is really not difficult. Want trance on the radio? Try internet-radios, there is a sticky here with both radios and streams. Use the search-button on these forums, yes it sucks, but you should be able to come up with a lot of similar threads like this. Other than that google usually does wonders. I bet you'll find lots of compilations of your taste just by entering "classic trance compilations". Imo you should stop making threads until you've actually made an effort finding stuff yourself, which you clearly haven't

bonzai worx should be good man. get it. assume theres some history there

The Bonzai Worx 4xCD is quality wise an excellent compilation of the label's releases over the past 15 years but in a very typical Bonzai/Banshee style the package features only 1 cd worth of full length tracks, the rest are ~4-6 minute edits.

Thanks for sharing your opinions "Grimreaper" & "Palm". And thanks for your sarcasm "redd". Believe it or not, I have actually tried searching for these particular compilations. I just wanted to know whether there was a CD out there which I was unaware of.

I do think, Grimreaper, that Bonzai mess the CD's up by editing the length of each song. They shorten each track, just so they can add 2 extra tunes per disc. I want the whole track - not mixed or edited. It's difficult getting unmixed/unedited club cd's nowdays.

I know. There isn't (hardly) any Bonzai related compilations with all tracks being full length unmixed versions. They either want to add more tracks on the cds as you said or annoy the cd users and favor the vinyl users. Even most of their 3-4 track cd samplers of vinyl releases, feature at least 1 or more edited versions compared to the original vinyls. How lame is that?

Then again some tracks have been later edited on reissued vinyls too when the full versions are only available on the initial releases.

Huh...? Uum, that's news to me.

Sarcasm sure, but if you wanna thank me for anything do it for the suggestions on how to find the stuff you're looking for. What do you think is better; giving you the tools to find it yourself or just giving it to you directly?

Directly.

Just kidding. Thanks for the suggestions. I did, however, want to use this site as one of those searching tools.
Peace.
