Summary: Amazing
Comment: First of all I amazed that this CD is still finding it's way into people's households. I just brought this CD out of my lost book of CD's from seven years ago and am so excited that I have it again. This is definitely one of the best compilations of tracks out there and and awesome set to start or end your night of with. If you don't buy this than trance is not for you. If you are new to trance please listen to this and all I have to say to you is WELCOME to the music that I find AMAZING.

Summary: Gave me goose bumps again..
Comment: Wow this mix is amazing. I had this on my computer back downloaded I will admit with no Title back in 2002. Here we are over 5 years from then and I heard it for the first time since then, by borrowing this from a friend. Its giving me goose bumps to hear again, the association of those old times and memorys are so strong. I feel so lucky to have stumbled on this again. now it goes straight to my MP3 player and flash drive for work. This really is amazing music. 5 stars.

Summary: Electronica Genres 101
Comment: Still confused about what is considered trance versus house versus techno music? What about the difference between trance and progressive trance? Have a listen to the suitably named album, Tranceport. Unaltered trance in its purest form mixed by (argueably) the genre's most infamous DJ, Paul Oakenfold.
Not a favorite genre of mine, but beloved by many others. I don't mind trance that is mixed into an eclectic set or presented with a little more contrast than what is offered on this album. The first volume of Northern Exposure by Sasha & John Digweed (released the same year) is the kind of dreamy trance that I enjoy. The trance tracks featured on Transport are very old sounding. A steady organ-tone throughout, cresendo drum rolls and a very cheesy narrative track about being spiritually connected with Earth ("Gamemaster" by Lost Tribe) to top it all off.
A timeless classic for some. Electronica's equivalent to Rock's 1980's for me.
2/5 stars.

Editorial Reviews:

Of all the genres within electronic music, trance probably gets the worst rap. The music is guilty by association with the hippies that worship it with a religious-like fervor. And if executed poorly, its dramatic crescendos sound like pretentious, pompous pap. But a good trance DJ can save a string of the genre's records from falling down the drain of all-too-common gargantuan breakdowns and endless wind-ups. Paul Oakenfold might be the DJ to rescue trance from itself; Tranceport features a veritable who's who of trance records and producers--Sasha's remix of Gus Gus's "Purple," a few tracks from seminal trance producer Paul van Dyk, and the driving, impenetrable "Enervate" by Transa. Oakenfold's mixing is impeccably suited to trance: long, drawn-out bleeds of sound seep from one transcendent track to the next. --Tricia Romano
