Above The Rest

As music and especially trance music lover I was very excited about the new Anjunabeats Vol.8.
Above & Beyond belong for years to the absolute elite within the Dancemusic- scene and rightly so sure.
The 8th edition now your Labelmixcompilation "Anjunabeats" arouses accordingly highest Erwartungen-
they are absolutely true: a mix compilation as a unified whole.
A song better than the other: from progressive vocal about the way to Uplifting Trance, and more!
In CD inlay is that A. & B. with this compilation represent the entire spectrum of your label sounds and further this music is also played in the live sets. For this I can only congratulate and hope the guys carry on like this.

My favorites:

CD 1
Maor Levi feat. Ashley Tomberlin- "Chasing Love":
rich Beat, Trancy vocals, something progressive.

Super 8 & Tab feat. A.Sonin- "Black Is The New Yellow":
not brand new, but so good that it belongs to on this album.
Progressive Beats, great melody and at the end even this voice, which comes forth as the ??? !!

Above & Beyond & Gareth Emery pres.Oceanlab- "On A Good Day / Metropolis" (Myon & Shane 54 Mashup):
Two super tracks from 2009 assembled at a really great mashup. In particular, the driving beat of Metropolis beeindruckt- still.

CD 2
Andrew Bayer "A Farewell (Intro Edit) / The Taxi Driver": Really successful intro with a clear beginning: We hear rain, running water. Then begins even "The Taxi Driver": progressive, impulsive and forceful, with a slightly dreamy melody.

Arty- "The Wonder": wonderful! Great, dreamy Break and driving beats. Perfectly produced.

Above & Beyond feat. Richard Bedford "Thing Called Love" (Club Mix): Vocal Trance Spitzenklasse- the great singers, beautiful melody that you will not forget. Absolutely correct and perfectly produced, you get not enough of this song. My favorite on this compilation.

Overall, this is one of the best Mixcompilations that there are currently for sale.
Above & Beyond`s "Anjunabeats" are on par with the legendary "A State of Trance" - series of No.1 DJs Armin van Buuren.
For Trance Music fans an absolute buy recommendation.
