Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Mostly independent and short on high-profile stars (Aphex Twin and Orbital excepted), the brave new world of European ambient techno lives in large part on compilations. This double-disc import is the most readily available in North America of those samplers, and, with 23 artists on disc and profiled in an accompanying magazine-style booklet, it's a definitive overview of the chill-out scene. Topping the marquee is a Robert Fripp-led ensemble called FFWD. --Jeff Bateman

4 out of 5 stars Komakino Astounds, the Rest is Average.......2001-02-05

Although there are some enjoyable tracks on Trance Europe 2, only the inclusion of Komakino's "Beyond Your Dreams" propels this CD to 4 star status. "Beyond.." is one of the greatest Trance tracks I've heard, nearly comparable to my number-one Trance piece, "Greece 2000". Various beats, sounds, and even a bit of voice, are woven together into a supremely hypnotic 6 minute experience. Unfortunately, while I'm glad I bought the CD and discovered Komakino, I can't recommend it in it's entirety. Other high points: track 1 (another Komakino, good but not superlative) and track 5. The rest are OK but, ultimately, forgetable.
