Essential for BT fans, breaks junkies, and trance addicts, 2007-12-12
This CD vies with the import version of Movement in Still Life for the title of "Best BT Album Ever". Both albums showcase the man's ability to cross genres yet retain his distinctive style and sound. This 2-CD set is packed with seminal BT hits, plus a few rare releases of note. We've got BT's breakout chart-topping remix of Tori's "Blue Skies". We've also got new material, such as "Sunblind". In between, there are some stellar remixes and collaborations by big-name producers, including Hybrid, Plump DJs, and Paul Van Dyk. A couple of the tracks are just "OK". They're not bad at all, but still not nearly as jaw-dropping as "Sunblind" or "Flaming June". The house tracks on the first disc, for example, were not my cup of tea. However, I'm more of a hard house fan than a prog house type, so it may just be me. br / br /As a DJ, I wish that the tracks weren't mixed together: it'd make it easier for me to place them in my own mixes. However, this isn't a huge deal, and I've mixed the tracks in with ease every time I've felt the urge to do so. br / br /One recent reviewer wrote that, unless you really, really, REALLY like the single "Sunblind", don't get this album. The irony is that I bought this album having only listened to "Sunblind". Even though I have a lot of BT's other albums and singles, the rarer gems included in this collection make it worth the purchase (which is strangely low-priced in comparison to some of his other albums). br / br /Totally recommended to anyone who likes progressive breaks or trance. Or both (that would be me). Recommended to people who say they hate "techno music": this album has the variety and positively Wagnerian musical complexity to change one's mind about EDM.

such good music, 2006-06-26
This double disc is all we can expect of ! A large pannel of BT's music. The two discs are mixed, more precisely during crossing between songs. All the songs are cool !! especially the hits Remember, Forbidden fruit, Godspeed, Flaming june and all ! br /happy to have bought it ! br /

Barely New Songs..., 2006-02-15
Is BT cool? Well,the thing is if you are either listening to a extreme creative band (For example:Kraftwerk) or listening to a less than the long well known Kraftwerk band or others who just have good music then you can slide this album and think--A:Is this good? B:Is this BAD??? this dosen't have a bunch of new songs. Period.

Like...HOLY Crap!, 2005-11-15
Did you think I was dissing this album. Yes, and no. There are a couple song that I hear that I get so tranced out, literaly. "Remember" was a song I heard a lot when I first started driving so that song means so much to me and brings back the memories. MUSIC MEANS SO MUCH TO ME. So everytime I hear it it takes me back to the times when I was driving at night with friends. I wouldn't recommend this 2 disc set because it's not my kind of music, but the couple songs are awesome to listen to.

A must have for any music collection, 2005-07-23
From slow melodic tunes with Seal and Sara McLachlan to club favorites such as "Never Gonna Come Back Down" to the most amazing remixes around, this ground breaking two disc set from 2001 is a must have in any avid music listener's collection. br / br /Highlighting this collection are "Remember (ESCM 12" Mix)" by BT, "Not Over Yet (BT's Spirit of Grace)" by Grace, "I'm Alive (BT Sasha Mix)" by Seal, "Godspeed (Hybrid Mix)" by BT, "I Love You (BT Mix)" by Sara McLachlan, and "Flaming June" by BT. br / br /If you don't have this set, your music collection is not complete.
