Velvet Dreams [Skylight Mix] - Ferry Corsten, Bodzin, Stephan
Ferry Corsten is one of the biggest names in Trance music. He's sold hundreds of thousands of mix CDs around the globe (from his Trance Nation CDs for Ministry of Sound to his World Tour CDs for Purple Eye and not forgetti... more »ng his two Global Trancemissions CDs for Moonshine.) Ferry's original productions are some of the biggest hits in Trance history. He records under the names System F and Gouryella as well as Ferry Corsten. His latest single "Punk" is without doubt THE anthem of last year. You have to check out the crowd reaction to "Punk" as he drops live at Spundae, Los Angeles' superclub - no other DJ fires up the club like Ferry Corsten. As an added bonus to the CD, Mixed Live comes with a bonus DVD - this features a 5.1 Surround Sound mix of the set as well as a new, exclusive documentary on Ferry and the recording of the show. Also on the DVD is the full, uncut version of the "Punk" music video and a slide-show of pictures taken inside of Spundae during the show. Mixed Live is the only compilation series to be recorded live at the club in surround sound - just the DJ and the crowd captured in a moment.« less

"I'm a big fan of Global Trancemissions Vol. 1 and 2 so I had to get this one. There are a few tracks toward the middle that I'm not particularly fond of, but the first 4 or 5 tracks are excellent.
Overall it's a great CD that any fan of Ferry Corsten should have. If you like Global Trancemissions, you'll like this one."
OFF THE HOOK

"This is one incredible cd!! I for one was one of the lucky 2000 people that were there that night when they recorded the cd. It would have been better if the album is a double cd set, since tracks such as Pocket Damage, Ligaya, and Out of the Blue were played at the later part of the night. I'd have the say the highlights of the night were Punk and Out of the Blue. From what I heard from a buddy of mine, the Out of the Blue track was a vinyl belonging to one of the fans. Ferry picked it up from him and spun it as the last encore track, which I thought was pretty sweet. For those of you that will be in LA area around the end of August, Ferry will be playing at House of Blue on 8/29."

"Let me start off and say this album is fabolous,and by far Ferry's best album.The songs flow perfectly together,and provide so much uplifting,emotional energy...both melodic and epic trance that will make you melt.Any true appreciater of fine trance music will know right away that this is NOT amateur garbage(like some of the new trance)And to top that,it is live,who could ask for more?Way to go Ferry!I wish all of Ferry's albums could be as slammin'as this one.If your looking for a cd like this one,you wont find it on any of his cd's...this one is quite different from the rest.Any dance/trance music fan should go out and buy this album NOW!"
Flawless live set!

Is It Really Live?

"I love trance and Ferry. However, if I remember correctly when I was there that nite at Spundae, I remember there was a brief interruption in the set due to power problems. There must have been some editing in the studio. Having said that, this really is a great mix. A bit anthemic, but hey it works. :) DVD does really nothing to capture that night though. Instead, I wish they would have had a 2nd CD, featuring Tom Stephan's set that was just before Ferry's that night. His set was quality. Would have really captured the whole night.
