My friend recomended me Trance Nation 2001, but I'm not sure if I should buy it (its not in any stores around here, and I can't find a sample off the internet, also my friend lost his copy )

Is it quite a good CD? I like trance that is vocal-less, probably the only trance song with vocals that I like is Ghosts, which happens to be on this CD, but most others make me cringe.

So has anyone heard this CD, and is it quality vocal-less trance? cheers for any help you can give

Ghosts is a lovely song.

I would say at the time this was the worst of the Trance Nation but it is still a good compliation, just the ones before it were infinitely better.

The first half of cd1 has quite a few vocals, 2nd cd hardly any.

Cut out the best of the tunes here I think, Virtuoso is a masterpiece! The last good trance nation CD (the 2000 series blew sooo badly before it and then its been cack ever since this release)

Definatley worth a purchase though, Mr Corsten did a lot better on this than a lot of his mix cd outings. Should be on amazon.co.uk

Tenshi

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.

10. Needlejuce - System 7

Why the fuck do you see this track everywhere credited to System 7? I know for a fact it's by System F (aka Ferry Corsten) and not System 7 (British techno experiment act).

Oh, and what an awful cover (like all the Trance Nations really):

Trance Nation 4 was the first trance compilation I bought. Man, what a CD. They dont make them like that anymore.

Second disc of Trance Nation America (with Jimmy Van M) pwns all. Trust.
