A very few. Euphoria was, at its peak, one of the best trance compilation series going. The first two, Euphoria and Deeper Euphoria, were just general trance over-view albums, mixed with classics and obscurities equally. The third; A Higher State of Euphoria was probably the best, and was when the series started doing upfront trance, in late 1999. However, Euphoria went totally to shit not long after Absolute Euphoria in 2002 (which I consider to be the last good one, with a great blend of styles and well mixed and structured by Dave Pearce, of all people). They realised that the trance scene was losing its momentum, and there weren't enough quality records coming out to maintain Euphoria as a place for cutting edge new trance. So they went back to what they originally did: compiling trance classics, and released several "Very Best of Cashing-in On Euphoria" compilations over 2003-2004. Finally the Ministry of Sound bought them out.

Originally posted by Zombie0915 This is one of the first trance CD's I ever bought, It has its moments but I find when I listen to it now I have to skip past alot of songs that I no longer like, loving you is a good example, that song is pretty gay. Voodoo is another gay song, and not many people will agree with me, but I also think firewire sucks ass. I wouldnt buy it if I had to do it all over again, but you might like it, I litened to it over and over nonstop for a long time when I first bought it.

hahaha, that exactly describes my relationship with this CD!! aaah, those were the days. Anyway, imo this is the last of the good trance nations. The 2002 wasn't great at all really. Had a couple of good tracks on though.

I'll have to keep an eye on these.

CD 2 is brilliant.
CD 1 is alright, but marred by a bit of cheese.
