Electronic Architecture 2 = Mixmag's Trance Album of the Month

"Expertly constructed from solid foundations"

"In recent times the mix compilation has largely lost the magic and creativity that once was. Often, their job is more about regurgitating catalogue to boost the bottom line, or simply to maintain a profile. This second volume from Solarstone, however, is none of the above, and sweeps in like a beautiful breath of fresh air on the most picturesque of days. An escape to the blissful state, it captures the essence of what we all love about Trance. There are no mindless crowd- pleasers here, but a perfectly crafted, international journey across all sub-genres. Vocal showings are thin on the ground, yet there is enough storytellng from the melodies to carry both emotion and entertainment from start to finish across the two discs."
