Subject: MINI-REVIEW: Trance Europe Express 3
Once more the Volume people have pulled off a feat -- get the best of the best
to throw down good tracks, put a cool little book in the box with two CD's and
sell it cheap. Even at import prices, this is a bargain -- double CD comp,
2.5 hours of good music. I'm in heaven.
When ever anyone asks me "what's that shit you're playing? What's a good
introduction?" I tell them "Buy Trance Europe Express." If anything, the
third
in the series is the best. Where else can you catch muZiq, Richard James (dba
Caustic Window), Reload (dba Link), Joey Beltram, Juan Atkins and Eddie Fowlkes
in the same box.
I've not had a chance to listen to all of this, but in general this is a box
full 'o beats -- I could do a decent DJ set with just these two disk
in the dual CD player.
Cut most likely to rip your head off: A hard choice to make, but check out
Emergency Broadcast Network "3:78" Acoustic Bass, heavy kicking drum loops,
and a trip through the sampler's hall of fame. This tune turns on a dime
every 20 seconds, bugging out in random directions, but you can dance way hard
all the way through.
And I like the departure from the old cover art, too.
