I am a big fan of the Nightmusic series. Nightmusic vol 1 still and will always be my favorite and all-time best trance album (or any album for that matter!). Although I say 5 stars to all 3 of the series, I say this one has a place between 1 and 2. 2 was awesome non-the-less, but there are just some really strong tracks on this album that gives it an extra edge over Nightmusic 2. Another thing I love about the Nightmusic series is how well Helstrip blends the tracks together. They make his albums into 80 minute trance sessions rather than just 15 tracks.CD1 01. The Thrillseekers Ft Fisher - The Last Time: 5/5 - Great vocals from Fisher here. At first I thought kinda cheesy, but it's really grown on me and also the song is actually designed for the vocals, which Helsrip is really good about doing for in his disc 1 openers 02. Orkidea - Metaverse (Gareth Emery remix): 5/5 - Absolutely love how this track opens. And then that melody that happens midway and towards the end...perfect! 03. Max Graham - Carbine: 5/5 - Another good opening that leads to a beautiful "heaven" sound. If only it were longer! 04. Blank & Jones Ft Bernard Sumner - Miracle Cure (Martin Roth Nu Style Dub): 5/5 - Dark sounding track most of the way through but opens up towards the end 05. The Jay Lumen Vibe - Siren (Original Mix): 5/5 - No heavy beats here until the end. It's a "Chill" track with very light beats. It's a perfect decrescendo after the last song. But why only 2 minutes? 06. Breakfast Pres Loomer - Take Me Back (Mike Saint-Jules Remix): 4/5 - Very good track. Has a nice "nighttime city feel" to it. However it seems to get a bit repetitive to me 07. Nic Chagall - What You Need ('Marco V Remix): 3/5 - Good song but I have to hit it because I HATE male vocals. Granted the one here is not half bad. 08. Ronski Speed Ft Aruna - All The Way: 5/5 - Great vocals from Aruna here. She also did 'Waiting Here For You' from volume 2. Not a big fan of vocals but she is an exception. Song also opens up towards the end very nicely 09. Mark Pledger vs Matt Hardwick Ft Melinda Gareh - Fallen Tides: 4.5/5 - At first it sounds pretty lame especially with Gareh's voice, but the ugly duckling turns into a swan not to long after 10. Solarstone - 4ever: 5/5 - This song should be immediately familiar to any trance fan. Will never get old. Good vocals too 11. Embrace - Embrace (Ferry Fix): 6/5 - One of my favorites! Has both a dark and bright feel...absolutely stunning when you listen to this one! 12. Teya feat. Tiff Lacey - Only You (Simon Bostock Dub Mix): 5/5 - Very intense track at times. Great piano and limited vocals 13. Simon Patterson - Smack: 5/5 - Great track! Love that sound that plays in the first second. Vocal-free too 14. Cartel - Buenos Aires: 5/5 - Great trance feel. No vocals either. Great build to conclusion track as well 15. Nitrous Oxide - Red Moon Slide: 6/5 - Perfect finale! Couldn't have asked for anything better! Absolutely beautiful melody. Almost like a more melodic "embrace" at times.CD1 Overall: 6/5 - Absolutely stunning! Well done! I think I actually like this CD more than any other CD I own or have heard. It really is rare to see this many spectacular songs on a single CD. And the only one that really took anything was due to my bias against male vocals so it might even be better for most of you. Truly amazing CD.CD2 01. Lange - Songless (Club Mix): 2.5/5 - I suppose an ok opening track, but...maybe he was trying to go for a house feel? It's alright but it just doesn't belong 02. Deadmau5 - Faxing Berlin (Chris Lake Edit): 5/5 - I mark this as the beginning of the CD. Much better intro track 03. Tiesto pres Allure ft Julie Thompson - Somewhere Inside (Andy Duguid Remix): 3/5 - What is this? It's not horrible, it just don't belong! 04. Dennis Sheppard - A Tribute To Life (Martin Roth Remix): 4.5/5 - Much better sound here. Robotic and spacey to say the least 05. First State Ft Anita Kelsey - Falling: 4/5 - I think a very rough transition from previous song to this one. It's like going from the apocalypse to the Charmin toilet paper bears. There's too much difference between the songs. It is a good song however and any trance fan has heard of it before many times. 06. John O'Callaghan Ft Audrey Gallagher - Big Sky: 4.5/5 - Very nice transition here! Good song. Some cheesy vocals but most are ok 07. The Thrillseekers - By Your Side (Mind One Remix): 3.5/5 - Remix of the volume 1 opener. Nice guitars in the beginning! I am kinda mixed on this one as I like the way it sounds 1 minute then it changes to something bad, then back again. It's not sure if it wants to be a good track or a bad one 08. Keenen & Anderson Ft Tiff Lacey - Runaway (Mat Zo Vocal Remix): 4.5/5 - Another one most trance fans will have heard of before. Very heavenly vocals in the melody. However, there are some cheesy moments throughout. Very nice sound towards the latter parts of the song though 09. Georgia vs The Stimulator - We Rise (Georgia dub): 5/5 - Sounds like it will be a bright song, but has this deviously evil sound that starts about halfway. Love it! 10. Adam Nickey - Never Gone (Above & Beyond Respray): 5/5 - Never heard the term 'respray' before but I certainly like it! 11. Breakfast - The Horizon: 5/5 - Very good track. Good pulsing rhythm 12. Evbointh - One Wish: 6/5 - Definitely one of the most beautiful songs ever made. The melody just makes you melt. This is what trance truly is! 13. Markus Schulz Ft Dauby - Perfect (Agnelli & Nelson Remix): 4.5/5 - Great song, but get rid of the vocals 14. Oliver Smith - Nimbus: 5/5 - Nice bell sounds. Beautiful track 15. Simon Patterson - Bulldozer: 4.5/5 - Great track. Has some unusual sounds to it which I like, but I believe it to be a horrible ending track. Belongs more of in the middle of a CDCD2 Overall: 4/5 - Of all 6 of the Nightmusic CDs, this is the worst. Granted with 'One Wish' and 'We Rise' and a few others, there are some really great songs on this one, but they are pretty much what saves it from a 3. It's not that a lot of the songs are bad, it's just that they don't belong. And seeing as how well done the first disc was, it leaves much to be desired. It's like he spent all of the time on disc 1 and just slapped 2 together in a hurry.This is a MUST-Buy album (as are the first 2). Even if disc 2 was no where near as good as the first one. In fact even if disc 2 was 15 tracks of silence and nothing, I'd still give 5 stars because the first disc is just that good. But I am being a bit picky, so I'm sure most of you will like disc 2 more than I did. If disc 2 had been better, I probably might have put it above volume 1. But never-the-less, this is a must for anyone that likes trance and especially Nightmusic fansThe previous reviewer didn't seem to understand that the second disc was supposed to have older tracks on, that was Steve Hillstrip's intention. Beautifully mixed and compiled. Overall a better release than Nightmusic Vol 2, although it had some screamingley good tracks on. Thise edition has a more vocal direction to it which i personally have taken a liking too having heard the release more than once. It is definitley a release which grows on you.Tracks i recomend are:The Last Time - The Thrillseekers Ft FisherMetaverse (Gareth Emery Remix) - OrkideaSmack - Simon PattersonMiracule Cure (Martin Roth Nu Style Dub) - Blank & Jones FT Bernerd SumnerOnly You (Simon Bostock Dub Remix) - Teya Feat. Tiff LaceyRunaway (Matt Zo Vocal Remix) - Keenan & Anderson FT. Tiff LaceyNever Gone (Above & Beyond Respray) - Adam NickeyWorth buying, an excellentt release. Nightmusic series have proved an equal competitor to the acclaimed Anjunabeats series.Get it!All these songs have been out for a bit and on other (better) CDs. If you want the good stuff, check out Markus Schulz (good new release - Amsterdam08); Gabriel & Dresden; Cosmic Gate (great new release - Back 2 Back 3); Tiesto (great new - In Search of Sunrise 7); Above & Beyond.Granted, there's always some crossover in compilation CDs. It's inevitable but come on now! Get the listed CDs above for the best of today.
