I don't think so... I believe Rising High doesn't license things
exclusively... Instinct released Risinh High Trance Injection, a double
disc that contains *some* of Seret Life of Trance 2, and Planet Earth
released Secret Life of Trance, a single disc with *less* of the same
comp. If you don't go ahead and buy the import (2 discs with all the
tracks), I'd recommend the Instinct release which contains more good
tracks than the chintzy Planet Earth release.
BTW Planet Earth is NOT a subsidiary of Moonshine... Moonshine split in a
rather unfriendly way over differences in musical direction. Planet
Earth has the rights to the Moonshine back catalogue (and thus the
money), and Moonshine is struggling, financially and creatively... (and
judging from their response to my United State of Ambience review,
getting a bit moody as well)
