I was under the impression that I've reviewed one of Antone mixes before, especially one from his Trance Elation series? I was completely wrong, as I can't find it on my website. I am ashamed, I truly am. But at least I'm not too late to the party. And what a fantastic party it is, right? The fifth instalment, and it's a great one, as it's been on repeat ever since I discovered it. And of course am I the Top FAN on Soundcloud. Surely not the only one, but give it time for people to discover this mix and the rest in this series.

I think I listened to them all so far, but not reviewed any of them. Sorry Antone, don't be angry. But at least the one I'm talking about today, is the biggest one of them all. An hour long, 11 tracks, and they are astonishing tracks. They are gorgeous. If you love Trance, this is your cup of tea. You must jump on this as soon as time permits. Why? Well, Antone knows his stuff, and he's picked 11 fantastic Trance anthems.

This isn't the first Antone review, and it certainly won't be the last. He's hit another homerun with this fifth mix in his Trance Elation series, and it's packed with songs I've not heard before. And there are two tracks in it, so beautiful, it makes me kind of emotional.

I've had this mix on all day, and I will play it until the end of today. It is that good. And what the Hell, I might even play it tomorrow and the day after. Let's go crazy!

James Irving-Lewis - Beyond The Clouds
Hans Zimmer - Chevaliers de Sangreal (Michael McBurnie Remix) (Antone Edit)
Darkingz & LinMou - To The Greatest Future
Stowers & Cooper - Seizure
Gary McPhail - Are You Ready
Faithless - Salva Mea (Icedream Bootleg) (Antone Edit)
Mark Wilks - Voice In The Dark
Binary Finary - 1999 (Starrett Rework)
Roman Sand - Recall
Marc Ward - Karma
Solarstone - Seven Cities (Ferry Tayle Extended Remix) (Antone Edit)

A solid mix, and one you will certainly enjoy! I'm sitting here, still working, and this is blasting at me at max volume, and I think I must have heard it a thousand times today, but there's still a few hours left of the day, in which I will repeatedly listen to this mix. I cannot stop, this stuff is addictive.

Antone has done it again. Another awesome mix with beautiful records. The two I mentioned earlier, that stood out, are 'Are You Ready' and 'Voice In The Dark'. Stunning records, absolute masterpieces.

I can only give this mix my love and appreciation. This is my kind of Trance music. No pop nonsense of happy stuff, just heavenly anthems like the 11 used in this mix. Give me this all day, everyday, and it will make me a happier human being! Keep those mixes coming Antone!
