After many hours of tedious work the re-mastered version of Beyond 2001 is finally here! The very original tracks, deconstructed and rebuilt using state of the art technology and mastering tricks. You'll both hear and feel the difference ;) This album represent what many would say is the reason they got into listening to trance music. Almost like a gate way drug. The Digital only version of this album also includes the full continuous mix of all 10 tracks plus the intro. Beyond 2001 was the first commercial trance[]control release, released through Chicago based SHR/Navarre. The album was an overnight success selling well over 20,000 copies in North America alone in the first year! Your typical semi-underground trance album of the era with great sales moved about 7-9,000 copies world wide in total. A small selection of reviews copied from Amazon.ca: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.0 out of 5 stars Undeniably Awesome, July 6 2003 By Jonathan Palmer "mazterpiece" (Pocatello, Idaho) This review is from: Beyond 2001 (Audio CD) The UnderDogs of the Recording Industry. Trance[]Control have done what the rest of us nerds only wish we could. That's make money by having fun and doing what they like. Which is making the most Hard-Hitting, Bass-Pounding, Room-Shaking, Speaker-Melting, AWESOME trance tracks EVER recorded. But that's just my opinion of course. To me Trance Control is my favorite thing to listen to in this world and it doesnt get any better than BEYOND 2001. Beyond 2000 was great but this is just a MAZterpiece of symphonic trance melody that will just leave your bottom jaw hanging off your dazed face. The very first time I listened to this CD I KNEW that I had found THE masterpiece I was looking for. If you like techno at all then get this CD. It's just neccessary. It's probably the last one they'll make too because they had all their equipment stolen like late 2002 or early 2003 and they arent able to buy it all back yet. TRANCE CONTROL IF YOU'RE READING THIS - DON'T GIVE UP! You've got to keep making music like this!! It's just neccessary! -Maz 5.0 out of 5 stars deep,dark,driving beats that can't be beat!!!, Feb 8 2004 By "juddjs" (Vt) This review is from: Beyond 2001: Resurrection (Audio CD) If you like deep dark trance this cd is for you. I have had this cd for a while now and I'm still listening to it. The bass and beats are driving you can fill it in your bones. The thing about this cd thats bad is, it's real hard to find!! I found mine at a local FYE. I never shop there the prices are insane, but I grabbed it when I had the chance and you should to if you find a copy. You will love this cd and trust me it will see a ton of play time in your cd player!!! Far beyond trance, addictive trance, it should come with a warning lable. 5.0 out of 5 stars I don't care what you like - this is a benchmark album, July 18 2001 By Michael Callaghan (Jersey City, NJ United States) This review is from: Beyond 2001: Resurrection (Audio CD) Trance Control here have produced what is unquestionably one of the finest coherent albums of melodic trance that became so briefly popular in 2000. They seem adept at structuring this sound without coming off as repetitve, nor over-or-under produced, which really is quite a feat considering they maintain interest and energy across the entire 60+ minutes of the CD. If you like trance, or think you like trance, or don't know what it is but would like to learn more, you could do not better than listening to this CD. Be warned, though: other, more famous trance albums will inevitably disappoint you after digging in here. Highly recommended.
