Let's address the elephant in the room. The elephant being: I've never owned this CD. I've seen this in my local CD store (Van Leest and Free Record Shop, and let's not forget Satisfaction Records, all located in Heerlen, Limburg), but I never picked it up, walked to the till, and bought it. I've owned many Tiesto CDs, but never this one. And I have absolutely no clue as to why I never put down the pennies for this one. This one has slipped away from me, which is kind of a pity. But I'm not afraid, as the world is our oyster, and the internet a useful tool. One which gives us the opportunity to listen to music shared with us.

The Soundcloud channel 'Legacy Trance' uploaded this mix 13 days ago, and I've been all over it. I'm currently holding the top spot, the most amount of plays. And I will remain at the top, as this is one dope as mix. 3 hours long, but worth every second. I know time is precious and it's not always easy to find the time, but you have to make sure you find the time for this mix. For crying out loud, it's a proper Trance mix, and the songs did appear on a Tiesto album. What more is there to say?

I've been on this mad Trance train the last couple of weeks, and I'm loving it. Going back in time, and in style. Today's mix is no exception. It's not the actual CD just plonked onto Soundcloud, this is Legacy Trance's take on the CD. Taken all the tracks (well, most of them), and mixed them in their order. The result? A three hour long mix with some fantastic records from 2003. That's 22 years ago, if you think about it. And some are just beyond classics: they have become timeless anthems.

Which ones, I might hear you say. Well, these:

Reinhardt Voigt - Supertiel
Tom Mangan - Chutney (Size 9 Reinterpretation)
Young Parisian - U Write The Rules (Solarstone Remix)
Solarstone feat Sirocco - Destination
Filterheadz feat Orange 3 - In Your Eyes (Blue Mix)

Holden & Thompson - Nothing (93 Returning Mix)
The Roc Project feat Tina Arena - Never (Tiesto Remix)
Smart System - Morgentau (Spring Mix)
Planisphere - Totem
Andain - Beautiful Things (Gabriel & Dresden Unplugged Mix)
Tiesto & Junkie XL - Obsession (Frank Biazzi Remix)
Mr Sam & Fred Baker - Forever Waiting
The Roc Project feat Tina Arena - Never (Filterheadz Love Tina Remix)
Motorcycle - As The Rush Comes (Gabriel & Dresden Sweeping Strings Mix)
Catcher - Destiny Sunrise
Cor Fijneman feat Jan Johnson - Venus (Meant To Be Your Lover) (Tiesto Remix)
Conjure One feat Sinead O'Connor - Tears From The Moon (Tiesto In Search Of Sunrise Remix)
The Ambush - Acapulco
Midway - Inca
DJ Ton T.B. - Electronic Malfunction
GTR - Mistral
Solid Globe - North Pole
Tiesto - Nyana
The Gift - Love Angel
Solar Factor - Urban Shakedown
P.O.S. - Remember
Darren Tate & Jono Grant - Let The Light Shine In

What a tracklist! This is a true trip down memory lane. Yes, I might not have had the actual CD, but I have still heard these songs in other mixes and /or on other albums. This is certainly a mix I've put on repeat for days on end, and will continue to do so, for days to come.

Legacy Trance picked a wonderful album, and the tracks on it are great too. The tempo might be a bit 'slower' at the beginning, but it picks up later in the mix. Especially when two of my favourite songs are played. 'North Pole' and 'Urban Shakedown'. Two definite classics, but truth be told: this mix is full of classics. 'As The Rush Comes' a true dancefloor smasher, ' Venus' another epic anthem, 'Electronic Malfunction' a hidden gem, and the list goes on.

The mix has a nice flow to it. Legacy Trance certainly picked some amazing anthems. And to realise that they are at least 22 years old. Old. but still extremely powerful. Tiesto released some really cool albums back in the day, and I still can't believe I never had the pleasure to hear this. Or have I? I had thousands of albums, and I'm 99% sure I never owned this one. But my memory, it gets a little bit cloudy over the years...

I've only got love and admiration for this mix. I hope Legacy Trance will release more of these mixes. Interesting, and it certainly revitalises my love for the Millennium Trance. Like I needed more persuasion to embrace it more. I grew up with it, and have embraced it. And now, I can't live without it!
