Timeless Classics

Advantages: Good range of drum and bass tunes. Lots of classics
Disadvantages: Bad if you are after the current style of drum and bass or dirty tunes.

...As a listener/dj of drum and bass, i recognised a few of these tunes and thought why not. There are a lot of timeless tunes all mixed by Goldie. Notice i say mixed, so if you are expecting the tunes to be played on their own, unmixed, in their original state then this is not for you. It is recorded as a constant mix. This cd is mainly more down tempo, more mellow drum and bass. So if you are expecting dirty tunes or grime, then again, this is not ...
...Warhead, which as people into drum and bass will know, is a grimey tune. Anyway, I can appreciate this cd, although not mixed as well as a lot of mixes i have heard, it is a good cd. A lot of the drops are spot on. For example I really like when Goldie mixes Barcelona by D.Kay & Epsilon/Stamina MC into Brown Paper Bag by Roni Size. Here is the track listings of both cds: Disc: 1 1. Inner City Life - Goldie & The Metalheadz 2. Terminator - Rufige ...

Review of Drum 'n' Bass Arena - The Classics (Mixed By Goldie) - Various Artists

My opinion about the Scooter

Advantages: Good to dance.
Disadvantages: None.

In my opinion that CD is very good. The "Scooter" is amaizing artist. I really like them and their's music. The songs which are including in this CD are very good and I like to dance to them.

Review of Jumping All Over The World - Scooter

Revolutionary

Advantages: Amazing debut
Disadvantages: Not music for everyone

From the opening rumblings of "Overcome" to the closing notes of "Feed Me", Tricky's debut album is undoubtedly one of the best albums of the '90s. A mix of trip-hop beats, samplings, rasping vocals by Tricky and delicate singing by Martina, the combination results in the production of 12 superb tracks. It proves to be a highly diverse album - "Black Steel" is a cover of a Public Enemy number, and is in much the same vein as the energy charged "Brand ...
...slow numbers "Pumpkin" and "Suffocated Love" and the rumbling beats of "Ponderosa" and "Aftermath". "Hell Is Round the Corner" paints a bleak and gloomy picture of life and the tones of its lyrics are eminent throughout other tracks on the album; On "Suffocated Love" : 'Now I could just kill a man' "You Don't" : 'I fight evil with evil' "Abbaon Fat Tracks": 'I f*** you in the ass, just for a laugh; with the quick speed, I'll make your nose bleed' ...

Review of Maxinquaye - Tricky

A bit mainstream, average performance from Cascada

Advantages: Decent soundings songs, good vocals
Disadvantages: Covers, intros

I got this CD when it was released thinking it would be better than the first album. However, after I listened to the CD all the way through I released that the first album was much better than this one! The first problem with it can be spotted just by looking at the track listing. There are too many covers! Maybe one or two, but there's four! (there may be more, but only four tracks I recognise). Now, I'm not saying everyone who does a cover produces ...
...just doesn't work. "Sk8tr Boi" and "Just Like A Pill" don't work in the trance genre. They lose their feeling and the meaning of the songs are lost. Natalie Horler isn't a rock chick so for her to go and sing a rock-ish type song is not the best of ideas. Her voice is great, but it's too feminine for hardcore songs. The other problem is that all the songs have the same intro. They all have this "sparkle" sound effect and then the lyrics fade in. ...

Review of Perfect Day - Cascada

lisa lashes

Advantages: good old hardhouse tunes
Disadvantages: softened up to be slighty commercial.....

as a true hardhouse & trance fan i feel that this has converted some of the best tunes from the hardhouse scene past and present and made them slightly too commercial. as much as i respect lisa lashes as a dj i wasn't as impressed as i thought and hoped i would be when i saw the tracklist on this cd pack. Certain tracks remind me more of the doink genre! - good old scouse house feel, however if you collect the euphorias i would still add it to the ...
