"Kimball Collins has become one of the most popular trance DJ's in America because of sets like this. He spins a set on this album that only rarely loses its energy, and always has an intereting sound that transcends the 'thump thump' of some of his contemporaries in the club scene. While many many compare him to such European mainstays as Paul Oakenfold and John Digweed, I would venture to say that Kimball Collins surpasses at least the latter (I had a the opportunity to hear John Digweed live, and was decidedly not impressed). The album generally flows smoothly from track to track. Interestingly though, the tracks are demarcated such that you don't feel as if you've 'walked in at the middle of the album' if you decide to skip to you favorite song. (Mine is Deadline, by Dutch Force). Kimball Collins seems to have a tremendous ablity to intuit and control the energy level on the dance floor and keep people moving without getting them bored or exhausted. I would love to hear a set like this live, but the CD in my car or stereo is certainly the next best thing. I think many trance fans would agree with me on this."
Fantastic!

"Kimball Collins has produced yet another absolutley outstanding CD. This is one of those CDs that you can start from song one and let it play and get rocked by every song. Club Utopia in Vegas is very lucky to have a resident like Kimblall Collins spin there."
Beyond my expectation! - What a great CD

"This is a tight mix from beginning to end. Trance Generation 2000 vol 1 has been one of my favorite cds since it came out and this one ranks right up there with it. In some ways, this cd has a smoother feel to it. The transitions between tracks are flawless and the beat never drops. The CD begins with a great mix of a great trace classic, Liberation, and continues strong with Vandenberg. Toward the end of the album, Deadline kicks in a great bassline and Collins finishes off the cd with a mellow mix of Everytime. This cd is great, solid trance from start to finish by one of the best DJs on the scene. An incredible addition to any collection."
