As Heard on Radio Soulwax Vol.2 - 2 Many DJ's

Advantages: Clever, funky, pacey DJ mix album
Disadvantages: Not something to buy for whole tracks

...was and still is described as indie. It’s so hard to pigeonhole indie though I believe. Something a bit different to the run of the mill cheese trash that’s churned out nowadays! Give me Haven, Belle and Sebastian, Electric Soft Parade, David Bowie, Blur, you know, something like anyday. Well most days…….. I do like a bit of dance music though. Not all the time, and sometimes I almost feel guilty about listening to dance. Whats dance though?? (there ...
...which is pleasing to me, as that’s one sound I don’t get on with. You don’t really hear any song in its entirety, for there are some 30 tracks included on the track listing. This isn’t a problem, as this is a pure album of fun, something to put on when you’ve got friends round (or when you’re on your own!) and just listen to an hour fly by while you reminisce. Interestingly, if you’ve been hearing that Kylie song mixed in with New Order’s Blue Monday, ... Read review

Advantages: amazingly amazing tracks
Disadvantages: might become too well known and spoilt

...if the music produced is as high quality as 2 many djs i really dont care. The tracks are all mixed in seamlessly and, much like a story, one song leads into a story, the beginning: basically the intro with an amazing mix of Basement Jaxx's Wheres your head at? and The theme, by Emerson, Lake and Parker or Peter Gunn. The middle, the vast chunk of the album is a cracking mix of many different music styles from the funky "Im waiting for my man" by ...
...cover is a great idea as is the secret track. The addition of a bonus track was originally a unique concept but nowadays more and more records include them at the end of the official tracks, separated from the track by a few minutes. The fad has faded, and so Soulwax have tried to start a new one. The track, Kylie Minogues Cant Get You Outa My Head, mixed with New Order's Blue Monday, is positioned before the pack, much harder to find by accident, ... Read review

Advantages: Impressive DJ'ing.
Disadvantages: Tracklisting a bit strange.

...to buy them a pint as they have inspired me to do something I never thought I would be able to do. Even the packaging of the CD is clever, the CD itself looks like a CD-Rom that has been copied and the cover art is very punk-sex pistol-esque feturing a delightful picture of a suited guy wearing a paper bag on his head giving the two finger salute. Perhaps the v-sign is a signal to those who made life so hard for 2 Many DJ's when they were puttin ...
...listen to everything and could even open your eyes to genres of music you would not normally think of listening to. Go out and buy this album as soon as you can, it is the subject of many conversations and owning a copy is your key to musical enlightenment!! ... Read review

Advantages: Amazing editing and mixing
Disadvantages: no official new album around

...website it does say that they will be bringing out a new album soon, but does not state when. i recommend this cd to anyone board of normal pop, and into their dance music, as this will have you screaming for more after! a top cd, not greatly known. ... Read review

Advantages: 61 minutes of art.
Disadvantages: Listening to your other mix cds afterwards.

...2 Many DJ's have reinvented the mix CD full stop. Admirers of the dance mix need to reassess expectations of what is possible when you push play on your CD player. Over 45 tracks the boys genre-bounce seamlessly through a musical onslaught that's as detailed as it is danceable. Forget the monotonous bass line merges that you get from your annual Dave Pearce mix cd; here we have the Beatles bouncing off Dolly Parton between more familiar dance artists like Vitalic, Felix Da Housecat and Basement Jaxx. Amongst the track into track mixing includes mashups of two or more songs playing simultaneously to create brilliance. Highlights include the 2 many DJ's favorite of The Stooges' 'No Fun' mixed with Salt n' Pepper's 'Push It'; the opening mash up of the Jaxx's 'Where's Your Head At' smashes your ears into something exciting...
