VA, Anjunabeats Volume 2 - Mixed by Above & Beyond, 2xCD

[Asteroid]

Above & Beyond have been described by Pete Tong as ‘the UK’s new trance superstars’ and have been lucky enough to remix Dido, Britney and Madonna – not a bad threesome. Anjunabeats Volume Two is their new mix album.

Through a combination of genre-defining productions and melodic and uplifting DJ sets at the world’s leading clubs, Above & Beyond (aka Jono Grant, Paavo Siljamaki and Tony McGuinness) are heading for the summit of the global trance scene.

Their recent Radio 1 Essential Mix was described by Radio 1 as one of the most popular they’ve aired (based on listen back figures) and as a result, the guys were invited to perform a guest mix during Radio 1’s recent Ibiza broadcast. In the meantime the trio’s highly respected Anjunabeats label has become a firm favourite among the world’s A-list DJ’s.

Anjunabeats Volume Two is an absorbing showcase of the best music played on Above & Beyond’s weekly Ministry of Sound radio show and signed to Anjunabeats.

The first phase of the mix focuses on the deep, progressive and techy end of the trance sound, then things are built to a frenzy with an expert blend of big room tunes, including the awesome Gabriel & Dresden mix of Above & Beyond ‘No One On Earth’ and the universally supported Jono Grant V Mike Koglin ‘Circuits’. In the final stages of the mix the listener is eased back down to earth with a blissful sequence of melodic trance, climaxing with the hypnotic new Tranquility Base single, ‘Surrender’.

17. P.O.S. - Gravity

I've not yet heard Paavo's latest choon... If it's anything like his previous work it's going to be massive. I'm pretty sure he'll drop it @ Plush :)

The rest of the cd looks stellar... don't think there's a single track on there that I don't like! I'll be picking this up for sure :)

I am looking forward to hearing this as I have found a new respect for Above and Beyond although I find alot of anjuna stuff really synthy and similar sounding....no doubt the mix will be tight so I will have a listen.
