"If you are looking for energy or you are crave of Trance music, This one is for you. Made up of a cool collection of hard house rhythms that keep the dance floor jamming. Hard Bass and techno beats have the energy that will wake the dead. Perfectly mixed by NEURODISC's own BLUTONIUM BOY (aka DJ SESSION ONE) this 17 track CD has a street date of May 17, 2004. High energy is a understatement for this HARD Style. I wonder why are they calling it European Hard Trance? A lot of clubs here in the US are playing this same style. NEURODISC known for high energy and heavy trance styles and house groove has had much success with release like this. Many club goers want to leave the club with the same music in their car changer. Others want to get into the mood before they make it to the club. Never the less it's a cool joint to have at home, on the road, or on the beach! Produced by the industry's finest, DJ BONE CRUSHER, GARY D., DJ VIRUS, KAI JAXX and BLUTONIUM BOY."

Amazing.

"This CD is great. The tracks were amazing and met every expectation of mine.. This is without a doubt, hardstyle. I love it. If you're looking for HARDtrance with great potential for making you wanna get up and dance, this IS the cd for you.



And to Beau, and anyone who loses interest in this cd after reading his review.. yes,i agree, this is not the euphoric type of trance, but why? because its not supposed to be. this is EUROPEAN HARD TRANCE--this is how its supposed to sound-- like HARDCORE techno with some melodic structure. so if thats what you're looking for then by all means, go and get this cd. you will be pleased. I was =]"

This is not trance...

"This is like Hard House. There's really nothing trancy about either CD at all... There is 0% build, 0% melody, 0% euphoria. However, it is a very powerful CD, and does have a catchy style. If you want to smash, and smash HARD, then these CD's will do it for you. It all sounds very similar, but that isn't necessarily all bad. And it never gets anywhere close to popish trance, so you're safe from that.



If you're looking for more melodic trance, check out armin van buuren, old skool tiesto, and even paul oakenfold (minus bunkka)."
