Hed Kandi - Twisted Disco (An Intergalactic Journey Into The Twisted Side Of House) [Digipak] [PA] - Various Artists

Advantages: Absolutely banging
Disadvantages: none

...remix of a Royksop track called "What else is there", and the popular Freddie Le Grande Remix of Carmille Jones' "The Creeps". The artwork on the CD is just awe-inspiring, and I do worry that I feel slightly attracted to a cartoon drawing - i really must get out more. As with all Hed Kandi releases the sleevework is a piece of modern art, with sublime drawings of Ibiza esque angels. The CD cover itself states the music is : 100% unholy, 0% saintly A truely twisted journey into the darker side of house. The full Cd track listing is listed below: Disc One 1.

Advantages: Some good dance tracks across genres
Disadvantages: Not as good as some of their other compilations

Advantages: Cool & Trendy
Disadvantages: none

...Decided to write reviews of all my favourite CD's.....so here goes Gawd....I've loved Hed Kandi for as long as I can remember, especially the Twisted Disco series, however this Disco Heaven CD released in 2002 is one of my faveourites and is always playing in my car.

Launched in 1999, Hed Kandi has evolved from humble beginnings as a compilation brand into the global phenomenon it is today. With a catalogue spanning over 60 albums, a number of artist projects and three UK Top Ten singles and a host of Top 40 hits to date, Hed Kandi is now a globally respected brand.
