Holy Crap. I just got this CD from RMF and Damn! The Fast the Furious and the Future. This is a good collection too. All three CDs offer a different style of music. Man get this. MOS is going to be a favorite of mine for a while, but this is gonna be close. Can't wait until its in the states.

Payce

i would definitely recommend the Ministry of Sound - Trance Nation America Vol. 2 , it's better than the gatecrasher one

Cheers guys!!!

I'll see what I can get my hands on!!!
