Review of Pieces In A Modern Style - William Orbit by
Analytikerin
Advantages: Offers a unique interpretation of classical music.
Disadvantages: Can blend too easily into the background.
...If you are expecting such pieces as Ferry Corsten's Remix of 'Barber's Adagio For Strings' then you should not buy this album because the music on it bears little resemblance to the popular dance version. However, you should buy it if you have an open minded approach to classical music, because in my opinion that is the genre to which this album belongs. Others would disagree, such as the directors of the classical music chart who for some reason ... ...Orbit has taken several classical pieces by well known composers (such as Beethoven, Satie and Barber) and arranged them in his own, individual modern style. Some have been arranged with subtlety, such as 'Barber's Adagio For Strings', and don't sound particularly different compared to the originals. Others are more adventurous, such as 'Cavellera Rusticana'. They still sound like the originals whilst at the same time being innovative, creative and ...

Spiller - Groovejet (if this ain't..) single vinyl
Review of Groovejet (Single) - Spiller by
Art007
Advantages: Great mixes, full length
Disadvantages: none
I have actually got Spiller "Groovejet (If This ain't Love)" single on vinyl.
I bought it from HMV, in 2006 for about £3 brand new. It has two tracks on it; "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)-Extended Vocal Mix" with Sophie Ellis-Bextor 07:27
and "Groovejet-Solar Stone's Jet Groove Dub Mix". 05:55
It is essentially a DJ's copy but I play it myself.
Two great mixes of this cult classic on Positiva recordings.
It came out in 2000 and can still be ...

Deeper Shades of Euphoria- Jay Burnett
Review of Deeper Shades Of Euphoria Vol.2 (Mixed By Jay Burnett) - Various Artists by
Art007
Advantages: Great mixes, chilled, value for money
Disadvantages: Two weak tracks, nothing major.
This 2CD compilation by Jay Burnett is very, very good.
CD1 is relatively poor compared to CD2, which is amazing.
Alternative mixes of Dido, Spiller "Cry Baby", Motorcycle "When the rush comes". David Bowie vs Scumfrog appears with an excellent "Loving The Alien". "Janeiro" by Solid Sessions is so, so chilled and takes my mind to another dimension.
Maybe there is two weak tracks on the album being Moony "Dove" and Kylie Minogue "Love At First ...

Deep and Chilled Euphoria by Red Jerry 2CD
Review of Deep And Chilled Euphoria (Mixed By Red Jerry) - Various Artists by
Art007
Advantages: Chilled, collectable, cracking
Disadvantages: None, but increasingly hard to find.
In a nutshell, this is probably the greatest Euphoria of all time.
From beginning to end, it is absolutely flawless! CD 2 perhaps having the edge over CD 1. I bought this for £7.5 of amazon second-hand. The sleeve however is not very secure so make sure you make copies of this if you by it. Not manufactured anymore this can be a cracking buy if under £10.
"Seven Days and One Week" by BBE being so chilled. Also "Autumn Leaves" (English Version) ...

White Label Euphoria (by John 'OO' Fleming) 2CD
Review of White Label Euphoria Vol.1 (Mixed By John '00' Fleming) - Various Artists by
Art007
Advantages: Classic euphoria beats, alternative mixing.
Disadvantages: Hard to come by now
John 'OO' Fleming is a well-known DJ. This album is one of the early Euphoria's. I believe it is quite rare especially now. Anyway, I bought my 2CD set in 2007 for £4.50 of Amazon second-hand. I'm not sure they manufacture these any more, so getting this would be a challenge. I see there are ones for sale for crazy amounts of money!
The album is smooth and relaxed with a fast pace to it most of the way through. "Legato 2002" by Digital Blonde is ...
