Dave Pearce, the radio 1 dj who is big in the clubs and on selling cds! As a dj myself, i can honestly look at Dave Pearce and say he is achieveing great things, that of which many other djs envy. His trance anthems series are seemingly a big hit and i for one buy them all the time. but recently ive had a few problems with them as ive had with most cds of this sort. Has anyone else noticed they all seem rather similar to the one before? heres what ...
...in the clubs and one Dave Pearce helped bring to life by regularly playing on air and in the clubs. I can even confirm that its in his box now as i recently played with him in Kellys Portrush. The worst is that its but to name a few. VALUE FOR MONEY This is one thing i dont thing anyone can argue about, approximately, £12.99 for a 3 cd compilation that showcases some of the best talent in the buisness. This album is one of the largest collection ... Read review

Advantages: NEWER REMIXES - OLD CLASSICS - MIXED FLUENTLY
Disadvantages: WON'T BE MANY MORE AFTER THIS - MOST SONGS COVERED

...I also purchased the first Classic Euphoria album which was another great CD compilation but this one is just a step up from that one and it'd be great if I could pick and choose which songs could go on which album but they both at least 15+ great songs over 3 albums. Of course there's a few songs which may not be to my taste but the other songs definatly make up for it. The track listing is as follows; CD 1 1. Resurrection (Space Club mix) - PPK ...

Advantages: Immense tracks and a sense of excitement
Disadvantages: A couple of useless tracks used to fill the gaps

...sceptical after hearing "The Girls" I was pleasantly surprised by the creativeness and diversity of the tunes this album had to offer. Dance music should make you want to dance, possibly sing, and jump around with your friends and loved ones. That is why it exists. If you're getting ready for a big night out, you'll whoop with joy when the Scot comes through the speakers. Tunes like "Colours" and Merrymaking at My Place" are perfect for those essential ...

Advantages: originality, some finely crafted songs
Disadvantages: towards the end of the 16 tracks, it may start to feel a little same-ey

The Crystal Castles- a Toronto based duo made up of multi-talented instrumentalist Ethan Kath and singer Alice Glass that drown everyone else in a malaise of alternative electro-dance beats. Their music seems to be made up from a series of sounds from the old Atari games, perhaps the inspiration for thier name from the early 80s game also called Crystal Castle For a relatively new band, only forming in about 2004, they have already made a name collaborating ...
...describe the sound of the crystal castles could be to imagine your old atari or nintendo assaulting you with its soundcard from across the room, with some tracks sounding like a balls-out thrash. Particular tracks such as song two, Alice Practice, and song 5, XXZXCUZX are like super-mario on drugs, and can be reasonably conpared to someone like the Nashville based Be Your Own Pet. Others, on the other hand, are finely crafted, for saying they have ... Read review

Advantages: Alternative to most modern music, tracks 7 and 12 in particular
Disadvantages: some tracks may lull and some may feel that bit too long.

The Bajofondo Tango Club, self-titled album is a range of south-american styles and instruments from the uruguay and argentina area. This music adds a whole new, contemporary twist to the Latin-america genre with better technology and a more energetic focus. Often compared to the more European/Parisian sounding Gotan, the band were a part of Electrotango revolution that brought the failing tango scene back into the public eye. The band have recently ...
...which even better reflects their newly expanded repertoire, now including some down-beat/trip-hop, club, chill out and elements of house style music. This album is something almost totally different to anything I personally had heard before. So different, in fact, i had to hear them for the first time in spain. But was i was immediatley mesmerized by not only the unique style of the music but of the various, sometimes unconventional instruments ... Read review
