All Right Reserved

This is George Acosta's best DJ-mix set yet! ALL RIGHTS RESERVED is a flawless comp. from beginning to end, and this may end up being the best mix of Trance I have ever heard. There is not one bad track on this mix, and the way it opens with Airbase's "Escape" is just dark and haunting, but a perfect way to begin this immaculate set. It is too hard to highlight any of the particular mixes because all are just awesome! Within these two-cds, Acosta has an excellent mix of Trance, Hard Trance, and even some tinges of Electro thrown in. I also really liked how George mixed out of DJ Tommy Boy's "AoL" and into his productions, which the last five tracks on CD2 are George Acosta's own produced material. Eventhough he just faded out of "AoL" and into "Mellowdrama," he was saying by the fade.. I hope you enjoyed the mix now onto some of my work. And of course, the tracks prior to "Mellowdrama" and after, are mixed perfectly by Acosta. I love his beatmatching and his creative skills of going into each new mix.I have listened to Trance for about seven or eight years now, but I have really gotten into it the last four or five. I discovered George Acosta with his HISTORY OF TRANCE in 2004. I then proceded to buy some more of his CDs, and I've been blown away by them all, but not as much or as quickly as with ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. A friend bought this set the same day I did, and he has almost gone deaf from listening to it non-stop and volume pumped up. From CD1 track 1 to CD2 track 12 you will be in Trance Heaven with this set!I reccommend all of George Acosta's CDs, but my favorites are: MIAMI (CD2), TOUCHED, THE LOST WORLD, and AM EDITION.To all Trance fans.... you must buy ALL RIGHTS RESERVED!!! The best of 2006, and quite possibly the best mix of Trance you will ever hear!

I'm not the most avant garde trance/techno enthusiast. I've no idea where the genre is headed these days or who's who right now. But I really like some of what I would call the "classic" trance/techno sounds on these two CD's. I dropped it onto my iPod and have listened to it on a couple of plane trips. Then again, I've been a fan of George Acosta for years and pretty much like everything he's done. True, much of it sounds similar, but then that's what I'm buying his music for. I do my exploring in other genres. George is like comfort food for my ears. I did think that Miami wasn't his best, but for some reason I like All Rights Reserved a lot more and put it up with Awake and Next Level, which are probably my favorites.

Took a risk on this album only knowing one song and was pleasently suprised how good it was, his Volume 2 album with the same title was not as good.

After reading all the positive reviews for this product I felt I could buy this with fairly good confidence. This is my first George Acosta CD and I doubt I'd try another one.I have a modest Trance collection that includes Tiesto, Van Buuren, Corsten, Thrillseekers, Above & Beyond, and others so I've heard quality trance and I know what I like.The first disk in this album was very repetitive. I could barely tell the songs apart, and when the first vocal song came on to break the monotony I could hardly believe it was already on the 8th track. I was especially surprised to see such good reviews given to the first disk while the second disk received lesser fanfare. It was the opposite for me, strangely. While I couldn't wait for the first disk to end, the second was much better. It was much more pleasant to listen to and didn't have the same flat beat that permeated through 1. Even my brother who rides in my car from time to time and hears (and likes) most of my trance music said of disk one while it was playing, "Wow, this is pretty boring. I don't really like it."So there you go. Two reviews for the price of one.

I downloaded this album a few days ago and it is amazing, but unfortunately some of the songs are messed up half way through.

Coming back at full steam after his recent "The Lost World" mix, George Acosta proves that he has learned from his mistakes as well as his successes. Case in point, "All Rights Reserved" features all of the elements that made "The Lost World" a success and none of the disappointments that made fans dislike "Miami". Also none of the tracks are avant-garde or too "tech-trancy" that they turn off the listener with redundant, monotonous noise. From start to finish, Acosta blasts us with many fast paced trance tracks that feature little down time and are nearly 90% upbeat all the way through. Acosta even impresses by featuring a much better remix of his formerly disappointing remake of "Blue Monday". Other tracks to keep your ears open for are the impressive beat laden "Another Situation", the awesome fast paced "By Your Side", and the epic "Alive" (which features some great digital vocal manipulations).The only qualms with this disk is that Acosta should have put the Bobina Drumma remix of "Mellodrama" on here instead of the Gareth Emerey remix, mainly due to the fact that the Bobina remix was by far more unique and expressive of the song. The Emery remix just seems to be a little on the generic side (even though in the long run, this is only a matter of personal taste and it truly does not hamper the mix). That being said, it is highly recommended to not only pick this up, but it's "companion", the Mellodrama single.
