A good purchase for new Blank & Jones fans...

"This 2 disc set encompasses all of the major hits of the German trance duo known as Blank & Jones. For existing fans who've bought other Blank & Jones albums, I suggest you not buy this compilation, unless you're wanting the set for the DVD complete with every music video to date.



For new Blank & Jones fans, this compilation should be a nice taste of the work of Blank & Jones through the years. Although some may be put off by the fact that the majority of the tracks are radio edits or short cuts, it reinforces the "Singles" nature of the compilation.



In short, if you're already a fan of Blank & Jones, there's nothing too new about this; otherwise, this would be a good starter for new Blank & Jones, or casual trance fans in general."

A piece of Trance history...

"It doesn't matter if you know Blank & Jones or not.

I myself was under the impression of not knowing anything of Blank & Jones only to realize, after listening to this compilation , that a good deal of music I've heard in the past was in fact by Blank & Jones !

Not only does this album provide a good come back on Blank & Jones's best , but it clearly shows how Trance became more sophisticated & warm over the years, making this album a piece of Trance history.

The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that an interview with the band & artists collaborators would have make a great addition to an already excellent cd/dvd content. I really recommend reading the liner notes , they are pretty much interesting as the guys give their personnal views on each of the tracks.

One last thing, you may observe that all the tracks are "radio edits" or "short cuts" of their original counterpart. Real "clubbers" may found this a desapointment. But as far as I'm concern, cutting the "club friendly" intro's & outro's of each track was an excellent idea to provide even more tracks. Finally , this combo cd/dvd is a great value for money.

"If you are buying your first blank and jones CD, then this is the one to get. I personally prefer blank & jones later hits over their earlier ones (especially Mind of the Wonderful), but this CD has got them all. I saw many of these songs performed live when they visited California a few months ago. Great stuff!"
