Volume: Trance Europe Express 1&2

WHO REMEMBERS these fantastic compilations from 1993/4, respectively? Not what we consider trance today, of course, but amazing music from a nascent scene, fleshing out the boundaries, before it all was easily labeled. What a ridiculous track list for a compilation and many of these artists- still active, almost 20 years later:
