Excellent contrast between Seaman and Miles.

"This was the first Renaissance CD I bought and I really enjoyed it. Especially Dave Seaman's mix, and the amazing remix of Cowgirl by Underworld would have to be my favourite U.K. house song. An excellent CD to trip out to, however Robert Miles' mix is much harder but also enjoyable. A must to have if you are into the U.K. clubbing scene."
Renaissance's diverse flavorful beats amaze me

"If you like smooth, classy, styley beats then the sound of Renaissance is for you. All Renaissance cds have their own feel and always ( except for the coming to America album ) feature two, to three completely different DJs. This CD is one of the more impressive ones. Dave Seaman Starts out the first disk with a tribal progressive house sound, that smoothly glides it's way into a progressive remix by Garbage that winds it way into track 9 ( I forgot the name! whoops. ) which maticulusly blends into a choice drum and bass track, and then closes out with an uplifting heartfilled track by Lamb. Then Robert Miles comes on. I had heard Robert Miles before this album and expected his set to be a completely 'fluffy' dream trance voyage, but is instead some of the best psy trance I've ever heard. He starts out with a touch of melody that tears it's way into Nick Warren's Way Out West and goes from there with some of the most creative in your face psy trance I've ever heard making this album a must have for anyone who appriciates a good progressive house set with a screaming psy trance close out."
