ILM: Your new Trance Anthems album, is out now (7th April 2008). Tell us about that? You must receive so many records, please describe the DAVE PEARCE process of choosing a killer track list?
DAVE: Well, it's quite exciting for me because, I've championed trance music on Radio 1 for about 10 years and I've never yet done a specifically trance anthems CD. I've done quite a few dance anthems which covered all areas of dance music but this is the first time I've done one solely based on trance. What was interesting when I was looking at putting it together was that (there are 60 tracks on the album) there were just so many tracks to choose from. A lot of the tracks I've put on there are special to me for different reasons, sort of defining moments a lot of people who've followed what I've done over the years very familiar with certain tracks. It's a mixture of the really big classics like Delerium - Silence, along with one or two that other people might not know what they're called; you kind of know them when you hear them. So there's quite a good mixture on there I think.

lolo: ilikemusic because... music is where some people display affection, show emotions and actually showing off who they are and their thinking. it is special unlike anything cos it goes out and never comes in back but in others.
Jun: ilikemusic because... music can convey a mood, enhance a mood or change a mood. Music can be used to inspire and the artform is simple yet complicated. It's fun to listen to and even more fun to create and perform. It speaks when just a simple word can't. It's a blessing!!
Steff, Webmaster Musebr.com: ilikemusic because... the shows are very good, we make friends, we jump, and everybody scream so loud, and for a moment we forget all the problems of the world!
Ciarran, The Feeling: ilikemusic because... I find it constantly inspiring and it’s a joy to listen to and a joy to play; it really is a huge part of my life.
Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
Kano: ilikemusic because... It brings people together. It makes people smile and dance, it makes people happy. I like the energy it gives off.
Terry, The Temptations: ilikemusic because... There’s no way I could ever imagine a world without music.
