"Wow! The first word that came up to me when i heard this mix cd. As we know mistah Väth is one of the bigger names in dj-land, and here he proves yet again why. It begins not to bangin' with nice electro tracks like Si begg's 'rock the discotheque'. But the tempo rises and rises, and as the cd reaches further along the big fat technobeats are giving the neighbours a very hard time. Nice thing is that all the familiar tracks from Sven's dj sets are heard on this cd, so just close your eyes and dream back to the last time when you heard this crazy dude spin live =) The only thing that I don't really like about the cd is Alter Ego - Betty Ford.. But that's my opinion. For the rest, if you like techno, this compilation is essential to your collection...!Oh by the way, Wagon voller geschichten means Wagon full of mentally ill people"

""Hola, Amigos Nocturnos de Ibiza".Sven Vath's opening sample shows you exactly from the start: Sven and his label kicked off in Ibiza with one purpose: Give the audience the Tekno Headkick of their lives. Sven chose every track with intent to shock, amaze & entrance.Once you hear the intro, you know your'e sucked in. The expose' takes little time to familiarize you with the simplistic side of Vath. Once track 3 kicks in, you can forget all about that.From here on in, the mix takes through amazing scenarios and sometimes just gets you up on your feet, cold sweat on your forehead, raving off in the air, screaming for more. After the mix kicked in full gear, you can still hear a softer, chilly kind of sound, the one Vath never really shows on his album. A real treat, none the less.Technasia appear twice on the album, a massive John Selway track appears, Alter Ego makes a visit, and the yet-undiscovered Si Begg, one of the best kept secrets in the Tekno-Elektro world, makes an appearance yet again with "Welcome to the discotheque".Delicious."
