Rating: - This is definitely NOT rave
Allow me to give you a little background: I purchased this at Best Buy because I was looking for an impulse purchase after having some leftover money on my gift card. I have personally been to several raves within past year, so I speak with experience.

Unfortunately for me, I didn't inspect this product very much before purchasing it. After bringing it home, I made a few discoveries: the first discovery I made was that this product was made in 2001. Electronic music has changed HEAVILY during this time thus making this product sound extremely inferior. The second discovery I made is that for all 3 CDs, they use the same artists. This truely is the bargain bin for electronic music.

The music on this CD sounds like someone just picked up a copy of Orion Pro for the first time and used all the default sounds to make some extremely repetitive loops. These loops will change predictibly and not very often. I personally couldn't stand to listen to any track past the 2:30 mark. The only reason why I left it go that long was the hope that something good would happen, but alas it failed every time. I wanted to give it a chance to redeem itself, but it never did.

I'm not sure how these artists actually made it to the shelves of Best Buy or a record label for that matter. The tracks are horribly simple and uninspired. I seriously doubt that even back in 2001 that this is what a Rave sounded like. If it did, it's no wonder why Raves dies down right around that time. The people who made this CD obviously didn't go to any Raves and thought that they could pass this off to people who have never been to one either. If you are looking for what good Rave music sounds like, I suggest listening to DI.FM's Hardcore channel.

I'm just glad I didn't actually pay money for this garbage.

Rating: - Repetative, but I like it
I never really knew what rave music sonded like until I bought this CD. I was a little dissapointed with what it sounded like, because it was not at all how I had imagined it. However, its not bad music. I must say, for repetative music, its good. When I bought the CD, though, disc 3 was in front and disc 1 was in back. I didn't really understand what that was about. And to make it more confusing, I think they printed the track listing wrong. Its a great compilation, but again, good luck figuring out what the name of your favorite songs are.
