Will be buying this for sure, comes out on my B'day which is good.

Not heard any of the tunes off CD1 but I have most off CD2 on vinyl already so it will be nice to have a new copy of them.

Full length tracks on the album too, which is always good to see

Does anyone know where I can pre-order this CD?

These are the best tracks imo. Notice how out of that list there are 5 tracks that arent new (previously released on vinyl). Not really a good sign i guess. From the new tracks there are too many that just dont cut it for me to make this a great album. Mind you, the album is ok but i expected abit more tbh. Pound still rox the hell out of me, so good that track.

For always in my heart is the best one from the new tracks. Amazing amount of emotion in that. Maybe for some people the synths in the mainlead are too cheesy, but it doesnt bother me

All in all i give this 6.5

hollow dream (sounds like intruder) and innerlife are the only songs that prevent me to give 10/10, so I'll rate this one 9/10 (1st cd), I won't rate cd2 because its more or less a bonus disc. for me best album in 2006 so far.

Anyone?

7. The Perfect Blend
8. Innerlife
9. Voices From The Inside

^ Best part of the album, for me.

___________________

It's a pretty good album. Despite the 2006 rework of Strange World, and some of the tracks being fairly old, like Massive Motion (which is still good), the album has a lot going for it. Definitely the best trance artist album released in 2006 so far. Compare it with Tri State, or L.E.F. which are both ridden with god awful vocals through most of the albums.

7/10

Anyone know if the album is going to be up for sale on Audiojelly or Beatport at any point?
