3. Xerox & Psy Craft – Adrenalin Rush
4. The Melovskys – Purple Haze
5. Eat static (Feat. Ed Ozric) – Chronic Horde
6. Manmademan – Contact The Living
7. Segment – Whooky`s Wha
8. Psy Craft – A Song For You

First out is a new track by Total Eclipse! I thought they had split up, at least Serge Souque (The Antidote) has left the band. The two guys behind this track call themselves Alan Wilson & Floyd Jones. Are they just kidding? Those two guys are probably Stephane Holweck and Loic Vanpoucke. The track is really rocking, but not as varied as Total Eclipse used to be. The track will for sure rock the dance floors. It sort of reminds me a bit of Juno Reactor! Ofer Dikovsky (Oforia) from Israel is still releasing a lot of full on stuff. Here he comes with his most rocking track so far. A lot of heavy guitars and a massive sound picture. Full on all the way! Track 3 is a collaboration between Moshe Keinan (Xerox) and the two Psy Craft guys (Alon Algarsi & Nir Sidon). A really banging track with some voice samples, and some really heavy guitars now and then, among the rolling full on rhythms. Track 4 is made by some one I don`t know about called The Melovskys. same rocking full on style, but with much more guitar, which he has twisted around into some really crazy sounds. Best track so far on this compilation!

Track 5 is really interesting. Merv Pepler from Eat Static together with Ed Winne from Ozric Tentacles. A lot of guitars all the way, together with intense pumping rhythms. the track becomes really nice and melodic after a few minutes, but is not really great compared to earlier works from these guys. Track 6 is a new track from the famous trance couple Sonya Bailey and Paul Baguley (Manmademan). This track is very melodic. For some people this will probably sound too cheesy, but I think it`s pretty nice. Very floating morning trance. Manmademan once again shows their talent in different styles of trance music. There are not much guitar in this track, so maybe it shouldn`t have bin on this compilation. Track 7 is made by Segment (Raphael Stehn & Jens Buschhaus) together with Daniel Dytert on guitar. It starts down tempo the first minutes, with pleasant sounds and a little guitar. Then the progressive banging rhythms starts pumping. Another happy morning groove. Nice one! The last track is by Psy Craft. A really nice chill out track with pleasant chilling guitars, nice sounds and beautiful melodies.

This compilation is much better than the other compilations TIP.World has released lately, but I feel that something is missing here. What about the masters of guitar trance, S.U.N. Project and Juno Reactor?? Another learning tool to get the rockers into trance...
