Cream Collect - Trance

Search: Mauro Picotto Lizard Claxixx Mix
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 25, 2002
I have spent ages, not to mention a great deal of money, getting my hands on the PVD E-werk club mix of For An Angel, Aphrodite, Strange World (2000 remake), Xpander, etc etc. Why oh why did they wait until now to release this collection? It's a conspiracy I tell you. But you know I had to buy it, and so should you. This is the finest trance collection around (my own excepted). Please try not to be put off by the fact that these tracks are un-mixed - deep down you know that a really good mix is the exception these days.

The Best Hard House...Ever

Search: Mauro Picotto Lizard Claxixx Mix
by: Various Artists

Release Date April 30, 2001
This album is great! it's not banging like the new, modern Hard House, but more relaxed, however it still boasts some of the most amazing hard house tunes ever made such as : lizard - an absoloute classic, iguana - a wierd but brilliant tune, and komodo - one of my favorites. This album is highly recommended by me to ANY Hard House fans. And it's very rare that I actually give the full 5 stars, and with prices starting as low as these it's well worth buying.

Euphoria: Return to Ibiza

Search: Mauro Picotto Lizard Claxixx Mix
by: Various Artists

Release Date June 26, 2007
I know the Ibiza classics thing has been done to death, but this is a pretty decent collection of tunes.
The might sounds flawless, but thats because it is. This whole album has been mixed on a PC - time stretched, pitch shifted, edited, the full works.
Now, I don't mind this - it's a CD full of classics but together in a clever and innovative way. But the time-stretching makes the sound quality AWFUL. The whole album sounds gritty, vocals sound choppy, and wonderful sweeping strings on trance tunes just sound pitted.
A great concept, good tunes, but poorly executed.

Classic Trance Nation

Search: Mauro Picotto Lizard Claxixx Mix
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.

Frantic Euphoria Vol.1: Mixed By Anne Savage

Search: Mauro Picotto Lizard Claxixx Mix
by: Various Artists

Release Date December 05, 2005
I really liked this compilation, Its quite different to the other hard or extreme euphoria's, cd1 has the new tracks, I especially like 20,000 hardcore members, cd 2 is fun and bouncy, I love real freaks on this. Cd 3 shows the 1st for an euphoria cd, as its introduces hardstyle and bootlegs, which works really well, its a mental mix and probably the best cd of the lot, definately worth a listen!

Cream 15 Years

Search: Mauro Picotto Lizard Claxixx Mix
by: Various Artists

Release Date April 28, 2008
Just had my new garden furniture delivered and take great pride in assembling it and putting it on the balcony then standing back and admiring it. I would feel very old and sad even though I'm only 27 would it not be for the fact that I was listening to 15 yrs of Cream whilst doing it and dancing around the flat like a loon. My boyfriend bought me this CD for our 21st month anniversary last week and I strongly suggest to anyone who used to go clubbing from 1999 onwards to get it, its amazing, tune after tune blasting out of my stereo, a real treat. I've played it over 10 times since I've got it and can guarantee I won't be tiring of it.... feel like I'm 19 yrs old all over again!

Dave Pearce Trance Anthems 2008

Search: Mauro Picotto Lizard Claxixx Mix
by: Various Artists

Release Date April 07, 2008
OK. A host of classics re spun and rearranged into 3 CD's. Nothing really new here but ok to play at home pre party. I'm sure it will sell well but just another commercial album. The new club scene will probably go for this one but not cutting edge enough for me.

Gatecrasher Summer Sound System

by: Various Artists

Release Date May 19, 2008
This is a great compilation; I heard Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip playing in a record shop and had to choose between their own CD or this compilation (its track 3, CD1) - I went for the compilation and I love it! We're having another terrible summer this year so if you want the sound of summer in your own living room then its right here!
