I found Sharkey's mix very fast and packed with energy. However I also found the songs would vary between solid and powerful all the way to incredibly cheesy. For instance Hard Like a Criminal is a fun, fast track; whereas Outta Control sounds like the music on a pinball game version of George Orwell's 1984. Actually, that makes Outta Control sound much cooler than it is.
Where Brainstorm really shines is Mark EG's mix. It's like a powerful journey. I've listened to the whole CD countless times, and even been able to use it to help me convert a friend over into the world of trance.

^ thats awesome! I already have both hysterias and hardcore innovaters, but didn't know about those others!
looks like like most of the music on them is stage 1000 stuff (stompin choonz/Xy2/Clued etc etc) all of which can be downloaded from justanotherlabels website http://www.justanotherlabel.com/shop/;/digital/?p=1
but there are some on those cds that you won't find anywhere else digitally but on Cds. (sharkey - truth, for one!)

Seriously? Buy it - it's one of the very best albums I've ever bought (three times over :$). Also, get Helter Skelter: Masters @ Work Vol. 1 for the Bunter & Ramos CD alone.
Most of the tracks are still sitting about. I know Bunter has the Bang the Future DATS and I've been badgering him to do something about them for ages .:( The 'Let the music' remix is golden :)
And I found out this week about various DJ's that have acquired the rights to various back-catalogues so there could still be hope....
