Editorial Reviews
From Amazon.co.uk
Sheffield's legendary super-club follow their "National Anthems" album with the seventh in an ongoing series of mixed compilations, Gatecrasher Discotech Generation. As with the prior volumes, many of which have reached platinum sales, big tunes are the order of the day with an opening set of all-star eclecticism launching with the rabble rousing bleeps and beats of FSOL's ubiquitous "Papua New Guinea" before powering through tech-house cuts from Satoshi Tomei and the mashed Xpress 2 mix of "Star 69". The second CD steps up the pace still further; progressive sounds eventually shifting into trance orbit by way of Riva's irresistible "Stringer" which sets the subsequent pace before finding even its own bright star with the acid burbling which stages the epic vocal of "Voodoo". An album that screams "party". --Kingsley Marshall

Great clubbing Tracks
I recently bought this CD not having heard a Gatecrasher title before. I am now addicted to Gatecrasher and a major fan of Trance, House, Progressive and Breakbeat and Paul Oakenfold. This has fantastic club tracks such as APEX - VIRTUOSO. The first CD has so much bass and the second CD has excellent tunes and grooves. This CD can be heard best on a huge stereo system where the bass is pumpin' and the tunes are groovin'. This CD will have you dancing for hours. A MUST FOR ANY DANCE/TRANCE LOVER OR JUST ANYONE WHO APPRECIATES GOOD MUSIC. GO GET IT.
Buy the Import version - Beware the Domestic release
In my opinion one of the best releases in the Gatecrasher series, and much, much better than National Anthems. It faithfully reminded me of being at Gatecrasher in Sheffield this past New Year's Eve.
Be sure you buy the Import version and NOT the Domestic release. ... the domestic release LACKS some of the best tracks that the import has: Delerium "Innoncente," Ratty "Sunrise (Here I Am)," Blaze "My Beat."
Amazon only carries the import version right now, but if you shop around you may come across the "cheaper" domestic (the domestic says "Mixed By Scott Bond" on the front cover, while the import does not) so beware. Since Scott Bond is one of Gatecrasher's long-time residents, the import is probably mixed by him as well (it sounds like it.)
Think very carefully before buying this CD
First off, I only bought this CD yesterday. I hope it grows on me as I listen to it more often. I saw the ad for this CD on TV, and heard the song playing in the background. I knew from then on I needed to get this song. So, I went and looked at the tracklist, figured out which was the song I wanted, tried to download it. Bad luck - it had been blocked. I sat fuming at my computer, wondering what to do. My only choice would be to buy the CD. I did. And I brought it home and listened to it. Quite a few of these tracks (especially at the start of the CD's), seem to be filler material. And yes, I know that DJ's like to gradually get louder and faster (more 'anthemic', if you will), as their set continues, but after listening to the first five tracks of CD2 and not hearing an actual tune, I began to wonder. Then I skipped ahead to 'Release Me' by Factor 9 - Without a doubt the best song in the album, and one of my favourites ever. This was the song they had playing on the ad. I listened to it and sat in a state of dazed euphoria until the shocking 'Dr. King's Dream' came on. Only a dairy farm could out-cheese this beast. I put CD1 in, and listened to it from the start, but got bored again. I listened to Starving Dolphins, Virtuoso and Labyrinth - songs I had expected to be great but weren't quite as good as I expected. 'OK', I thought, 'I'll give it a chance', and I am doing that now. I may find some gems on here and if so, I am sorry for misleading you all, but remember: You don't get a second chance to make a first impression.
