Reactivate 16, 17 & 18 all get flack for not being hard enough. But it's a just a stylistic transitional period. And there's some of the "party like it's 99", Mitsubishi friendly, big melody, early-millenium-style trance (which was so popular it went overground leading to much stale cheese being made...).
NONE OF THAT CHEESE IS HERE THOUGH. The melodic trance is plenty underground, but there's loads of much deeper vibes, along with the darker, and more minimal 2000-style tribal trance. Reactivate 1-18 are each classic compilations, each showcasing something worthwhile. Some better than others, some are immaculate and brilliant (Ask 180 ravers from Gen-X to early Gen-Y, their favourite and you'd most likely get all 18 at least once, with 1-12 being the most beloved).

The final 3 volumes are part of the Reactivate legacy, bringing a quality selection of up-to-the-minute anthems & lesser known underground tunes to the masses. I was about to say I miss this series...but I've recently heard it made a 2019 comeback (To be Continued......)
