Big Brother

Search: Finished Symphony - Hybrid
by: Various Artists

Release Date August 14, 2000
To tell you truth I found Big brother unbelievably rubbish its getting so old now. I suppose it funny watching if your in the mode and there nothing else to do yes .Also if your abit pissed with mates to eye up the dam good looking girls in it.Otherwise dont bother with the program just listen to the quilty album the BIG BROTHER theme is outstanding the reason i bought this. Covering all scenes of dance mainly Trance,house and DNB just mindblowing long live the music forget the program.

Oakenfold Anthems

Search: Finished Symphony - Hybrid
by: Various Artists (Paul Oakenfold)

Release Date August 11, 2008
A very good compilation of some of the best dance tunes from the 90's and this decade. The only reason I'm not buying this is because I already have the majority of the tracks.

Classic Trance Nation

Search: Finished Symphony - Hybrid
by: Various Artists

Release Date July 10, 2007
The main negative side to this and pretty much every other MOS compilation is that 99% of the tracks have been used before. I completely agree that this is unfair and that they don't really deserve the money they make from them. However, If you forget this is a MOS CD and judge it for the music inside, this is a damn good set of CDs.

If you do not already have a "best of trance" compilation CD and you're into the genre, i strongly advise that you get this CD. The originality of track selection may be poor but when you hear all the sublime tracks like Sandstorm, Resurrection and Born Slippy perfectly mixed together, you won't regret the purchase.

Top Gear

Search: Finished Symphony - Hybrid
by: Various Artists

Release Date November 14, 2005
Whereas one view has been poor, I found this album pretty good. Afterall who wants to listen to the same old pony that you can listen to on the radio - turn that on instead.

I regularly watch Top Gear and noticed that some of these tracks were used for their car reviews. You know you've heard them before but don't have a clue where you can find them. Some such as 4Hero's Les Fleur was used in advertising (Bailey's I think).

I thought this was a good mixed bag of Indie/Rock/Dance/Ambient et all with some off the wall tracks thrown in. Don't be put off just because some of the tracks weren't in the top 40 or 100 for that matter. Admittedly it won't be to everyones taste and I do skip tracks myself.

Euphoria: Classic Euphoria

Search: Finished Symphony - Hybrid
by: Various Artists

Release Date May 30, 2006
Acknowledging all the other reviews that reinforce the point of this being a classic revisit of some of the last 10 years' biggest tunes, I really want to outline that Ministry of Sound ownership also represents possibly the biggest thorn in Euphoria's side.

If we take a look at the first Euphoria albums, we can see some real honesty and new ground there. Seldom-heard-of-on-mix-compilations talent like PF Project, Matt Darey, Agnelli&Nelson and Jay Burnett, these guys were given a task to put together an album that said what they wanted to say. The Euphoria album cover would proudly proclaim who had mixed it (and even how - some albums were "digitally mixed" i.e. on a computer rather than by all-hands-on-decks) and each album had a personality ...

Ibiza Chillout Session

Search: Finished Symphony - Hybrid
by: Various Artists

Release Date
Seeing that this follows after the excellent Chillout Session 2, i have to say i'm not impressed with this follow up. There are way too many tunes lifted straight from the previous 2 albums, and its not like there is a lack of quality chillout music to choose from!

MoS also seem to have a knack for choosing rubbish remixes of certain songs on their compilations, such as Jakatta's American Dream (the definitive version of which appears on Chilled Out Euphoria) and Bent's Swollen. Why they decided to go with the remix they did rather than the totally brilliant (and in my opinion more chilled) Dusted remix is beyond me.

On the other hand, it's not all bad. If you don't own Chillout Session 1 or 2 from MoS buy this by all means, but if you ... Read More:
