Electro House Alarm Vol.5 - Various Artists

Album Vol.5, The - Various Artists

Advantages: Varied popular songs plus some obscure ones
Disadvantages: The obscure songs are probably not to everyones taste

This is the second CD I have brought from this series, I find these CD's a general overview of the years music relating to well known tracks to some that are unknown to me. This therefore make is a very good album to listen to as you know what you are getting from some of the songs. artists like Sterophonics, Muse, Athlete, The Libertines and so on are well known and will appeal to the majority. There are however some more obscure songs bands like Client, Bees, which although are not to bad for my taste they may not appeal to everyone. On the whole I have found this to be a good album in my collection and one that I will listen to if I can not make up my mind. If you like the main popular songs on this album then I would recommend to have this in your collection. ...

Review of Album Vol.5, The - Various Artists

Great Electro!

Advantages: Lots of tracks all at good length of time, great mixing and choice of tunes
Disadvantages: sometimes repetitive

out that has not been released by either the 'Ministry of Sound' or 'Hed Kandi?. Two labels that endlessly bring out new compilations, some of which have limited quality. But this one done by ?Resist? provides tunes that are not always commercially released or played too much on the radio, complaints that often hit the 'Ministry of Sound'. To summerise, this compilation provides 3 disks each with 15 tracks that average the 5 minute mark each. It has some well known artist like Tiga, Audio Bullys, Mylo and Tocadisco. But it also uses relatively unheard of artists like Phatjak and Nicolas Valle who both offer great electro beats. This is a must for any clubber or electro house fan. And with 45 songs it is definitely value for money. ...

Review of World's Greatest Electro House, The - Various Artists

I Adore

Advantages: Perfect cheesy summer nonsense
Disadvantages: A lot of the tracks were on previous volumes in the series

, Flawless, which mixes samples from The Ones’ classic club tune with typical GM vocals. The biggest surprise for me was Christina Milian’s Dip It Low, which gets housed up by Full Intention and turns into one of my favourite songs on the album. Of course, it’s not all as good. Scooter’s dreadful Jigga Jigga now seems to be proving that the Scooter formula is really starting to wear thin. Matt Darey’s mix of LMC VS U2 is just, well, boring really. Awesome 3 really should get lost now too. Don’t Go was first released in 1996, and seems to have filled space on at least two previous volumes – it’s back again in volume 5, much to my dismay. Nonetheless, for those of you who are into this kind of thing, Clubland 5 will not disappoint. It’s a fantastically shameless commercial record that ...
