to record a half-decent Euro-pop version of a 1980s classic. However, if the rest of their debut albumHeavenis anything to go by, their success with the title track was a sheer fluke.Comprising Majorcan DJ Sammy Bouriah and former ballerina turned singer Loona, their album flounders because of a top-heavy quota of "fillers" and repetitive rehashes of the aforementioned track. Covers of "California Dreaming" and "Boys of Summer" fail to meet the teen-disco intensity of "Heaven" and although "Sunchild" and "Beautiful Smile" have a more original sound, they're unlikely to set the dance floor alight.The instrumental compositions are where things really start to go wrong, with "Paradise of Love" sounding like a second-rate copy of Dario G's "Sunchyme". One palatable track is the samba style "Bossa Nova Vibes Version" of album opener "Sunlight", which shares an uncanny resemblance to the theme of the TV travel show "Wish You Were Here". --John Galilee

DJ Sammy is a Mallorcan dance music DJ and this album shows off his music mixing and production skills to the full. It reached Number 1 in th U.K. in 2002.
And if its dance music of the highest order that you want then this is what you will get.
There are 11 tracks of pure blood pumping through your veins dance music magic. Included in these tracks of course is "Heaven", the awesome cover of Bryan Adams' 1985 song, the regular mix on track 1 as well as "Heaven (Yanou's Candlelight Mix)" on the last track which is track 11.
The cover of Don Henley's Boys Of Summer is also a track that you will play over and over as again DJ Sammy adds more layers and dimensions to what was already a great song.
Get yourself a big amp and even bigger speakers and turn this music up to full beat and full blast (of course whilst lawfully observing any local noise laws) and just enjoy. It is spectacular.
Full track listing:
1. Sunlight 2. Heaven 3. Beautiful Smile 4. The Boys Of Summer 5. El Condor Pasa 6. Paradise Of Love 7. Unbreakable 8. Irresistible 9. Take Me Back To Heaven 10. Appalachian Fall 11. Heaven (Yanou's Candlelight Mix)

Advantages: Very cheap. Genuinely great tracks found within. Good variety. Disadvantages: For this price... none.
for the harder end of the audience. Again, there is variety however and there were tracks I enjoyed on this disc such as Louder, track 2. This is the disc I listen to least however I wouldn't descibe the music as poor quality, but simply not to my taste.
I give this disc 6/10
CD3 - Bootlegs Mix
As with the rest of this series. The 'Bootleg' mix disc contains mainly remixes of previous songs. In this disc the well known songs remixed include:
*Billy Jean - Michael Jackson
*Out of Touch - Uniting Nations
*Listen to your Heart - DHT
*Miracle - Cascada
*Heaven - DJSammy
Its fair to say that half of these barely sound like their counterparts at all. Being subject to so many remixes; songs like Heaven have been taken in totally different directions by the DJs in this disc as they try to create something new out of something ...
