Perfecto (Collection)  3 CD Set

Very Good Condition in Original cardboard case

Since their inception in 1990, the Perfecto label has always been in the forefront of the European Dance scene. Starting with Paul Oakenfold taking the label to its stardom, this triple album sums up in a nutshell the Trance/House scene from the late 90's to 2001.
The first disc, the house disc, starts off slow with the annoying "Double Dutch," slowly turning up the juice when it reaches "Jazzin the Way You Know." After this, the music is pretty straightfoward, soon peaking at Hernan Cattaneo's "Deep Funk," where the juice turns up and doesn't give way until the end of the cd.
Disc Two, on the other hand, since it is trance, relies on the melody and the synth rather than the beat, compared to house music. The second disc starts off good with Lost It.com's "Animal," followed by some tracks that can be classified as top notch, but normal for a cd of this caliber. Soon, starting with PPK's "resurrection," this disc picks up and never leaves the ground. I do hand it to the Perfecto label for choosing the rights tracks to start their sets, which tracks to begin their climax, and which tracks to complete it. Disc two peaks at Jada's "just another day," followed by "Bullet in a Gun," and the always classic "Flesh."
Disc 3's chillout disc is also a great piece of work, but in my opinion it doesn't mesh well with the other disc's beat and tempo.
In conclusion, if you are a die hard fan of the Perfecto label, pick up this three cd compilation. It's filled with the best that Perfecto has to offer, even a great version of "Another Day" on disc three (the chillout version). However, if you are a trance/house fan, and want to groove to a better mix (in my opinion), stick with Oakenfold's "Another World" for trance, and Hernan Cattaneo's "South America" for house.
