Only 3 words for this... Fab U Lous.......2004-09-10

This is the my favorite of all the Euphoria collections I own. It runs thin, like liquid gold all through your brain. Who needs drugs?! I don't usually like vocals in electronica compilations, but it all works so well here with expert mix of beat and bass. DJ Jay Burnett lays down tracks like only a genius can. If you're not sure which Euphoria to buy, get this one. I guarantee you will know bliss when you hear it.

I got a deal!.......2004-07-17

I found this at Virgin Record in downtown Chicago for $7.99 and I was quite shocked how good it was! I have no complaint. The mixes are awesome, the selections couldn't be found anywhere else, with the old and new and the unusual mixed all right next to each other. The old tunes don't even sound the same. It was quite a listening experience! It's best to close your eyes and let go to this music. Not recommended for driving!

Different Yet Entertaining.......2004-03-10

Euphoria series has been known to have the best trance music sets available. This time it takes on a different flavor. D.j. Jay Burnett Mixed some well known trance tracks into something new. Those fans of trance music who strictly listen to trance only, might be put off with this cd because it mixes different genres into one; classical, lounge, dance, techno and house. But... if you want to hear something different, you might actually get a kick out of this cd set. The first track called "Wheat" sounds like classical music, very nicely done. Next comes "Chilling Moments", sounds like new age/classical, also very nice. Onto track 4, we have "Sister Sister" sounding like house music. After that we get a dance version of "Resurection", it has a nice tempo. The tempo picks up with "Bassfly" and it does sound more like trance. Track 9 makes a nice turn with "Wavy Gravy" it has a mellow tempo and sweet sound effects, it's just so cool. The second cd also has good tracks, but you must keep in mind that several genres are mixed in. The results: beautiful, odd, hypnotic and loads of fun! I only took away one star in my review because some of the tracks are overused in other cd sets. They should have included all new tracks. Mr. Jay Burnett, take a bow, Deeper Shades of Euphoria is excellent!

NOT the same old stuff.......2003-11-02

Glancing down the list of tracks you might think you've heard this all before. Not like this, you haven't! (If you don't think you've heard any of these songs before, this is electonica and maybe it's not for you.) These mixes are unique to my collection of ~150 mixes of this stuff. I must say the mixing by Jay Barnett is masterfully done. No brash key/pitch/speed changes, yet somehow both tribal and dreamy elements are combined. These discs cover a lot of ground, yet somehow I like it all. I'm not good with all the words needed to describe this stuff, but I believe that if it sounds good it is good.

Not recommended for people who don't like deep trance, don't have good speakers (or at least good headphones), or aren't willing to sit down and appreciate an 80-minute odyssey through euphoria.

Caveats: I got my copy for <$20, so $35 is a ripoff. I live in the USA so I don't get treated to all these mixes, or this style of DJing. I've got lots of MoS, Ultra, and other stuff and think that a lot of it is just a bunch of songs that are only mixed so there aren't any breaks in between; definitely not an art form like this. The last compilation I thought was chosen and mixed this well was Jimmy Van M's contribution to Trance Nation America (Disc 2).

Bubbles machines and candy beverages for everyone!.......2003-05-06

After owning this cd and listening to it over and over and friends telling me how much they enjoyed the listening experience. I've decided that this is a wonderfull party cd. I would suggest purchasing this cd to anyone. I like this cd when played at a moderate to high volume level on my Harmon Kardon AVR 7000 I own several of the Ephoria cd's from telstar. this is the best. Its fun expecially when it gets play at coffee time.

Time for something a little different..........2004-08-26

Definitely not chillout, but without the relentless pounding of the other (generally excellent) Euphoria albums, Deeper Shades of Euphoria 2 gets its energy from power and depth, thereby fulfilling its title. Tracks range from neoclassical to electronica, but many share a subtle "power in submission" feel that differentiates this set from others.

Just as in the first volume, Jay Burnett has shown extraordinary skill in selecting songs from a wide variety of styles and fusing them into a cohesive and moving whole. While not DJ-ing in the traditional turntables sense of the word, track selection and transition is very carefully done and definitely qualifies as an art. While some of the songs are common, at least the mixes of most are novel, and the compilation is outstanding.

I suppose this begs the question of when, or under what conditions, you would listen to this music if it is not main floor and not chill. I like listening during late night work sessions, or sometimes when I'm not doing anything else but just listening to music, but you'll have to judge for yourself.

I do have a couple of gripes about these discs though. The biggest one is that some of the tracks are sampled too loud and get clipped, resulting in a noticeably degraded audio quality. Also, as Jay Burnett is so zealous in "f***ing with the tracks" as he says, there are some ugly mixing artifacts especially around the some of the speed changes. However I still find this compilation refreshing enough for five stars, and hope that volume three will be just as good, but with deference to normal audio levels.

Surreal, once Again.......2004-05-24

You are missing out on a lot of good music if you haven't bought any of cd sets from the Euphoria series. The DJs select
awesome sounding tracks and compile them together into a two cd set. So what makes them so good? Euphoria tracks are
re-mixed to contain multiple layers in sounds, with amazing synthesizers ("synth" for short), relentless beats, explosive bass and beautiful vocal songs. Mr. Jay Burnett returns for Deeper Shades of Euphoria Vol. 2 and it is just as good as Vol. 1. The first track is a long, but magical sounding piece called "Looky Thing", inter-connecting with "Last of Mohicans", which is orchastrated classical piece. Track three is a song called "Here with Me" a very nice vocal song, followed up with "Far Out", a nice new age sounding piece, slow and smooth. Track five has another nice vocal called "Milk" it's smooth and sexy and has romantic overtones. Next up in "Trancescape" is a soft trance piece with excellent synths and cool beat. Track seven has a fantastic vocal song called "You're not Alone" with a sexy female vocal, up-beat tempo, and has a bit of a retro flavor; this song alone makes it worth buying the cd set! There's a total of nineteen tracks on -cd 1- some of them are short but sweet and help with the transition of tracks.

I'm going to jump ahead to- cd 2- Starting things up with "Cry Baby", a smooth drum and bass piece with a bit of robotic voice. Next in "3D" you have an odd new age piece, followed by a mysterious song called "As the rush Comes". Track four is a more up-beat version of "Universal Soul" followed by a strange "Analogue...". The next track is a techno re-mix of "Cry Little Sister". Jumping ahead to track eight another re-mix called "Carte Blanche", it is nice but this track has been around the trance set for too long. There are a total of 20 tracks on -cd 2- . This is my only complaint about, Deeper Shades of Euphoria Vol. 2. the second cd falters in a weaker selection of tracks. They just are not the same quality as the first cd. It also has tracks that have been over-used. this is why I cannot give it a perfect score. I did however, really enjoy a lot of the tracks in this compilation and I know you will have your own favorites. Since it covers a broad scope of musical styles, you'll find something there you like and maybe discover something new. I highly recommend Deeper Shades of Euphoria Vol. 2 and you should also pick up Vol. 1. Thanks again to Mr. Jay Burnett for bringing another surreal experience!
