So you thought Tranceport 2 was bad? 'Naturalized' has got to be the shittiest trance compilation i have ever heard.. NOTHING original, all he does is draws on other dj's for his track selection and then bungles mixing them together and uses shittier mixes of the songs.. absolutely terrible, no matter what kind of trance u like, don't waste your money on this one.

Peronally, I thought it was pretty good... while CD1 does draw out and get a bit boring... CD2 is pretty top quality stuff! That's just my humble opinion though

I'm with Mattyk, it wasn't too bad. I personally gave up on buying CDs from DJs I get to see often, since I know what they put on CDs is nothing like what the played that previous weekend.
I got the CD at Dave Ralph's residience in Philly (Evolution), and would have to agree that the first CD was more of him testing a more progressive side. While CD2 is him putting some pretty good tracks together. You really can't put the same amount of feelings into a CD like you would in a live set, so you lose alot of Dave's talent.
All in all, if you are a Dave Ralph fan, then get this CD. If not save your money to go and see him live, then become a fan, then buy the CD. hehe.

Oh well, i still stand by my opinion, you have to be a really hardcore prog fan to like CD 1 and even then, the stuff's not really groundbreaking material... and i think CD 2 is just his attempt to sell CD1, that's why he put a bunch of popular trax (Fragma(!!?!) Star 69, Da Hool) on it and made it sound so differrent from CD1. Reminded me of Tranceport 2, where disc one sucked ass and disc 2 had all the popular songs(with the exception of Belfast). Just doesnt sound like the way trance should be done, does it? Make a hardcore prog CD and use popular songs on another Cd to make ppl buy it. .. i have a problem with that. Besides, it just sounded so god-awful BORING! Didnt it? Just my opinion though, i guess some ppl really DO like his stuff... who would of thought...
