For disc number five in this series, the Radikal folks scoop up all the U.S. and European hard trance that they can get their hands on. Pieced together once again by longtime producer/label head Jürgen S. Korduletsch, the focus here is looking for the anthemic club vibe that might have defined a clubbing season either here or abroad. Having successfully licensed Zombie Nation's "Kernkraft 400 for the previous compilation, it's logical that a sound-alike track such as R.B.A.'s "No Alternative," which features a Black Panther Party-styled sample, should appear here. But the distorted, tweaked-out sound of the Elektron SidStation synth that made "Kernkraft 400 an international hit in 2000 hasn't necessarily stood the test of time, and many of the other tracks here are equally limited in scope. Passable tunes include Blank & Jones "Sound of Machines" that comes across like the more club-oriented end of Italian hitmakers Eiffel 65. Soundlovers "Walking" is sort of a poor man's attempt at re-creating "Madonna's" recent period, while the classical affectations of "Spente Le Stelle by Opera Trance featuring Emma Shapplin is hard to take seriously. Reasonable tracks, however, such as Darude's "Sandstorm," can not really balance all the forgettable material included here. ~ JoE Silva, Rovi
