Advantages: Not cheesy, some pumpin' choons!

Disadvantages: None

I've bought quite a few dance compilations all claiming to be "the best" or "the most uplifting", only to find they're all the same mainstream cheese. But Trance Nation 3, mixed by superDJ Ferry Corsten, is in a different class.

The first CD is like a warm-up, with some mainstream "choons" (clubspeak for very good tunes) like Chicane's Don't Give Up, Fragma's Toca Me (not the dreadful Toca's Miracle!!), Corsten's own classic Cry, as well as some stronger ones like Aurora's Hear You Calling and JDS' Destiny Calls.

Then comes the second CD, the highlight of the set. These are really strong tunes, from Sasha, Oliver Lieb, Schiller, Mario Piu, Airscape and UKW to name a few.

The tunes are mixed seamlessly - what esle would you expect from a top-end DJ. Except for one mix though - I think it's from Futura 2000 to A9 (on the second CD) - it's more like stopping the one that's playing and starting the next. But apart from this, it's faultless.

If you want a trance compilation, don't waste £££ on cheesey highstreet albums, go for Trance Nation 3 instead. (And then have a look at my opinion on Trance Nation 4!)
