Okay, so it's not trance, but it's DAMNED GOOD! I thought Rauhofer was just another boring circuit DJ from the last CD I bought of his (Essential Mix), but after hearing everyone talk about this comp, I went to Tower and picked it up... OMG... These CD's are awesome... CD1 is kinda laid back house yet with a tough beat, and on CD2 he just let's it all out... it's some of the toughest, danciest (is that a word?) beats I have heard... this is a must buy... Loved it!! Still Listening To It!
