The last compilation from Acosta did not really appeal to me but the tracks he's got on their are really good. Worth checking out.

i've read from reviews that this album has a "house" feel to it, it that true??

Great stuff, like all of George's CDs! Highly recommended! And I highly disagree, I thought PVD's Time of Our Lives was a really cool track, especially the club mix, which George chose. Good review though. Cheers!

This is a great trance CD. I think it will be staying in my cd changer for awhile. Havent got the chance to listen to cd2 yet but I've listened to cd1 on repeat all day long yesterday.
I didnt feel CD1 had a house feeling at all, a bit fast for a house feel..BPM seems to be around the 140 range. Its more of a hard trance feel, with very powerful(highly compressed) kick drums....SOLID, typical of Acosta. Kind of reminded me of the feel of Swedish Egil/Telica.Those of you with high end audio systems will enjoy it. I was listening to them thru a system with Polk RTi28 bookshelfs coupled with Alesis MK1 actives with HK amp/receiver.
Tracks that really got my blood flowing were 5 and 7. I think this is a great improvement since his last cd. The overall flow seems better and those cheesy Acosta dialogues you hear in the last cd are left out..Thank God!! One thing I think the CD lacks in is in the low end, but that may be just my taste and can be fixed by adding a little bit more subwoofer.
