This album from Enhanced Recordings follows on from the first Digitally Enhanced volume, which appeared 2 years back, and also the much more recent Masters Series compilation. Both of these CDs feature 100% Enhanced Recordings content - fresh and exclusive cuts alongside favourite recent releases from the past few months.

On a side note, Will Holland is certainly doing well for himself. He has held residencies at Gatecrasher, Wildchild and Digital Society, had a number of recognised productions and remixes and also kick started the now rather immense Enhanced Recordings, toted by Armin himself as "One of the most famous trance labels today". Three sublabels and over 45 releases in a relatively short space of time are a testament to that.

CD1 is the domain of Enhanced Progressive. I for one certainly do enjoy the style of progressive music that Enhanced puts its name to. The range of sub-styles it manages to encompass is impressive - deep and mellow sounds, groovy basses, through to light melodies and some tougher really 'aggressive progressive'. One of Will Holland's aims for the album was to try to include as many Enhanced artists as possible, so he made extra care to select not only original tunes but many remixed ones too. One look at the tracklist and you'll instantly notice the plethora of talented names on display.
Ones of especial interest are Ilya Malyeuv's remix of Elsa Hill - Lost and JPL - Linger.

CD2 comes around and it's time for Enhanced Trance. The heat is increased and you're graced with all the beautiful melodies, energy and massive riffs that Enhanced trance is famous for. Whereas CD1 took a varied, diverse yet evenly laid out approach, CD2 progresses from an easy start and is on the rise all the way to the very end. Track after track will impress and I don;t think there are any in there which you could consider a 'filler'. Top tracks include Motionchild & Will Holland - Arctic Kiss, the Estiva Tech Remix of Sindre Eide - Only When I Sleep and Temple One - World Beyond.

Mix-wise, the compilation is interesting. Many albums these days will be mixed using software, changing the keys of tracks to achieve the 'perfect' mix, or the track selection will be based on how the transitions will sound, instead of how the tracks or progression will sound. This is not the case with Digitally Imported. Will Holland has mixed these tracks with precision and any decent DJ out there will be able to appreciate that when they hear it. Some tracks, the the trained ear at least, weren't designed to go together, but when you hear the mix, it'll make you stop and think "Wow, he did that really well!" as all the mixes are expertly pulled off.

Conclusion:
A highly enjoyable album which manages to pull together a massive amount of talent and a satisfying range of genres, sounds and styles. A wonderful, apt and deserving example of Enhanced Recordings. Don't miss it.
