Hell yeah, such a big tune starting off that mix. As stated, it's nothing groundbreaking but it has one high gear from start to finish and will easily have you letting the CD repeat.

Nothing much to add here: Disc 1 of NY is pleasant, Disc 2 not so much, and Tranceport is awesome, despite its flaws.

imo, the touch (paul's remix) is the best track of GU007. dope as hell.

and i'll listen to tranceport asap. thank you guys

you are becoming aware of yourself, as a gay master gay master gaymaster

I remember looking at a copy of Tranceport in around 2002, the height of my Ferry Corsten, Tiesto, Armin phase and thinking even then that it looked a bit too 'anthem-y' for my tastes. I've still never listened to it.

I only remember tranceport for showing me the Sasha & the Light remix of Purple for the first time. Took me a couple of years to find out I prefer the original.

Wow 98 was a long time ago.

First time I heard Tranceport was at my senior prom. My friend had an afterparty, where another friend of mine (who was the one who really got me heavily into electronic dance music) brought the album over. I was familiar with trance but not that knowledgeable about it - I think right when "Cafe Del Mar" hit I became totally captured by the album. Then I bought the album and listened to it while driving up to Buffalo for my college orientation a few days later, playing Rendezvous on repeat.

I introduced all my new college friends to the album and shortly thereafter they all went out and bought Dave Ralph's Tranceport 2.

All My Mixes!

New York looks really good on paper but doesn't really deliver in the finished product. It's typical Oakie in the sense that it has a lot of great tracks from different genres and all piled into 1 huge train wreck of a set.

Tranceport was typical MOS "best of trance" type of a release and I'm not sure why people are comparing it to this GU. If anything, Oslo showed a more disciplined Oakie by trying to stay away from the hits and build a set made for a big room (I should add he does cover more ground in Oslo than in New York in terms of genres). That should be the comparison here.

I like the first disc. Not so much a fan of the second.

Still doesn't come close to touching Creamfields 2004, in my opinion.

Perhaps that's nostalgia talking, though. Or not.

just heard tranceport. the mixing is better than GU007, the track selection is good (so many anthems), but the sequence isn't too much special (as many said, anthem after anthem). still pretty funny imo, specially for me that never heard the "sasha v the light mix" of Purple.

and creamfields 2004 is awesome.

btw is so weird if you compare the transition into greece 2000 with the transition in GU007. is like if both cds were mixed by different people.
