With no beat-matching between songs, all the usual big-hitting anthems included and some questionable inclusions on a trance compilation, Lost In Trance is an overly familiar, lazy and formulaic three disk CD that’s difficult to recommend to anyone whose owned or heard these songs before. The first disk is by far the strongest, featuring all the usual suspects including Adagio For Strings, Cafe Del Mar and For An Angel. With no beat-matching between songs there’s a profound lack of creativity here and with many of these songs reduced to their 3 minute radio edits, the album fails to capture the real essence of what makes trance music so appealing – big breakdowns and euphoric pay-offs. Still, the first disk showcases some of the biggest tracks from the 90s, paying homage to an era where trance music was at its peak even if the track selection feels thoughtless, jumping between various tempos between tracks. The final two disks are where Lost In Trance struggles the most, impressively stumbling from one questionable inclusion to the next, jumping between dark, hard, euphoric and everything in between with chart hit One – Swedish House Mafia and house classic American Dream – Jakatta the most jarring inclusions on a trance compilation. These two disks feel void of ideas, relying heavily on the old classics and failing to showcase any modern classics that have been a mainstay on the trance scene for many years. While there’s no denying Lost In Trance features a great selection of individual tracks that have stood the test of time since the 90s and are decent enough to showcase the genre, there just isn’t enough originality or modern tracks here to justify buying this compilation. The artwork, CD sleeve and disks themselves aren’t aesthetically original either making Lost In Trance another generic compilation likely to be lost in the annual shuffle of classic trance anthem compilations.
