French Sessions Vol.1 (Mix By Jerome Pacman, Paris) - Various Artists

Advantages: A great look at the influences of The Prodigy
Disadvantages: This won't please their new commercial fans

...Why is this listed in techno? Liam Howlett gives an excellent showmanship on the wheels of steel, that gives a taste of Breaks and Hip Hop more than techno (don't see no Jeff Mills trickery here). CD was released under the pretence of 'Prodigy presents Dirtchamber Sessions Vol.1' with the idea that there would be further releases, unfortunantely the new fanbase that had heard the infamous Firestarter and Breath tracks did not seem to keen on The Prodigy showing where their musical roots originally layed when they were a little younger and showing off what music they liked off the stage. Sadly further releases had the plug pulled on them... Look at this album as not another installment of The Prodigy, but one phatt mix that is original and an insight to Liam Howlett's love of all music taking in the likes of Chemical Brothers, Jane...

Advantages: Mixed By Anne Savage, this has to be an advantage!
Disadvantages: Not as extreme as the other Euphoria albums, might not be fast enough for some ravers!

...Brilliant Album by Anne Savage, really worth buying. If your new to this scene its a good starter album because its not as extreme as Euphorias other albums. Cd 1 is by far the "calmer" of the 3 cd's, with mixes by BK, Vinylgroovers. Colin Barratt's remix of "The Future" is awesome. Cd2 has a faster beat and euphoria start living up to their name by Cd 3! With beats like "Real Freaks" by the Tidy Girls, this is a real tune and also "lookin Good" by Lisa Lashes! Cd 3 has to be by far the best of the 3. I really like this album, especially Cd3 where things progress and get faster! Theres some big names and some big tunes! A Cd worth buying!... Read review

Advantages: wonderful tracks
Disadvantages: none

...Nothing reprents the sexy French house music style like David Guetta. Contrary to popular belief, house is not just a repition of random beats with the sole purpose of annoying elderly neighbours. There is actually quite a bit of technique used to produce house music and Guetta makes it look extremely effortless. The reasons for which he is so popular are shown in the this disk considered to be his masterpiece. The ever so present sexual connotation is his trademark. The pioneer of French house brought out the best of his abilities in F*** Me I\'m Famous. David Guetta has new wave influences in all of his songs. There is a strong connection between his house and the 1980\'s pop chart hits. The influence of disco is also visible in most of his music. These are features are very characteristic as several house artists prefer the use... Read review
