Review:

 

This is a really varied compilation. There are some old-school goa,

some chill-out and some techno tracks. Total Eclipse's Kalevala is

really good relaxed ambient. Lenny Dee is completely unknown to me

but this track is excellent, chilled beats and great melodies,

Tibetan atmosphere. Tracks 3, 4 and 6 are dark techno with really no

melodies, track 6 is even pretty good hypnotic Swedish techno(I

usually skip the others). Mario De Bellis track is dubby/tribal

techno, reminds me of Gabriel Le Mar's stuff, nice bassline. A truly

great dubby track. Jaïa's track is old school goa with tribal beats

and lots of melodies, not excellent but very good, a bit too static

and unoriginal. And everyone surely knows AP's Free Tibet. Virtuart -

Wheels of Mani is old school goa too, nice bassline, tribal beats and

Tibetan chanting. One 303 sounding riff is really nice in the middle

but otherwise it's not very original but it's still a good track and

builds up nicely. Sven Väth ends the compilation with nice chill-out,

relaxing song with cool beat and jazzy bassline. Mostly good and

excellent tracks except the techno tracks. I got mine for 3 euros...
