A Trip Down Memory Lane....
Let me start off by saying that this new release is not what I was expecting, and that was a next volume to either the popular Anjunabeats series or even to the Anjunabeats Worldwide series. You get neither on this release. Instead this is more of a greatest hits complilation that the Anjunabeats Label has had it's hand in. To some people this might be a major let down if you were expecting new material, but as for myself, I liked siting back and remembering some classic trance tunes from 2000 till 2007.
I can see some reviewers giving this a lower rating, but IMO I cant bring myself to giving this a lower rating. The track selection is flawless and though some of the tracks may be outdated to some, I have no problem remembering the feeling I had when I first heard some of these tracks. A good example for me is OceanLab's "Sky Falls Down". One of my alltime favorites and I'm sure you will all have a bit of the same feeling as well.

There you go. I hope the tracklisting helps. Oh! Before I forget, the DVD is really nothing to write home about. It's about 45 mins long and the full description of it is in the comments section. Overall it's not a bad deal for 15 bucks to get 2 CD's AND a DVD.
Its a Compilation!
Above and Beyond releases Anjunabeats 100 as a COMPILATION of the best of the FIRST 100 tracks that their amazing label has releases since its inception.
It is stange that some people are dissapointed that no new material is released. It is obvious that they did not read their press release as for the reason of this new cd compilation.
A good buy for people that want a bunch of amazing singles, that have PREVIOUSLY been released.
So, if you already own the tracks, its probably best to skip this one, and if not, get it, after all, it is their milestone album.
It takes your breath away
I have always enjoyed A&B's mixes and productions, but this compilation is a great start for those who want to become familiar with their work. Most of the tracks are what I would like to consider "melodic" progressive trance. If you enjoy trance with beautiful female vocals, this is a must have. The talent is great, Zoe Johnston, Justine Suissa and Cara Dillon. The mixes do not fail, it keeps the energy level to a max without missing a beat.
This CD is great for late night driving, getting ready music, or even for work.
