Not for those who like Hard House

Advantages: 3 CDs
Disadvantages: Too much to fit onto a 256MB MP3 player

Euphoria: Very Best Of Uplifting House is worth getting if you like both house and dance music. If you're not used to listening to hard house music this is a nice introduction for you. I would describe it as our favourite dance tracks remixed with extra beats added. This album features some of the best dance tracks of the year and some of the older favourites as well. The good thing about this album is they have spread all the good songs throughout ...
...one has the best tracks, and the others have a lot of unknown songs and artists. The playlist has been thought about. The mood of the album doesn't shift much at all as you are listening. The songs are pretty much all the same tempo, and you can easily recognise this is a Euphoria album. There are a couple of annoying tracks that should not have been added, such as Don't Call Me Baby by Madison Avenue and the extrememly annoying Shapeshifters Lola's ...

Review of Very Best Of Uplifting House Euphoria, The (52 Sexy House Anthems) - Various Artists

Groove Armada, A groove for everybody

Advantages: Great laid back groovy beats, consistently good tunes
Disadvantages: long intros

...The album brings together the best known songs.... -Superstylin (great mood lifting dance anthem) -At the River (you'll remember it as "If you're fond of sandunes") -If Everybody looked the same -I see you Baby (starting to annoy me now it's on the renault ad but a good tune all the same) You might also know the summer feelgood classic "My friend" from the album goodbye country hello nightclub. The other tunes are certainly not fillers, most ...
...One of my favourite tracks "Easy" illustrates their only down point, their intros can be just a bit too long. Whilst the intro's do add an atmospheric build up, I often prefer the remixes which cut to the chase. Overall, fantastic album which leaves you with a great summery feel, and not a bit of cheese in sight! If you get a chance to see them in concert, go see. a great talent not to be missed! ...

George Is Not So On

Advantages: Some good modern songs.
Disadvantages: Not as good as previous albums.

I approached this album with an open mind, as I've been a follower of all things Deep Dish since I was introduced to them in the Renaissance arena at Ministry of Sound at Knebworth. They were immense that night, and my purchase of Yoshiesque 1 & 2 that followed was nothing less than a life-shaping experience, influencing the direction my musical tastes take even now. I've also been pleased with the Global Underground mixes. I bought Junk Science, ...
...I was disappointed. Apart from 'Mohammed Is Jesus' and 'The Future of the Future', both of which I had already heard, loved and played ad infinitum, the album was for want of a better word wishy-washy. ...and that brings me to the tracks on this album. The first time I heard 'Flashdance' was (unashamedly) when I downloaded a low quality promo on a p2p network. Shortly afterwards I went to see Deep Dish in the Radio 1 Essential Mix arena at Creamfields. ...

Review of George Is On - Deep Dish

Funky House review of a value for money CD

Advantages: Excellent mix of old and new songs
Disadvantages: None that i can see, if you buy this you know what to expect

...make it to be The Very Best Euphoric Funky House Breakdown.... The Authors tastes generally edge towards Hardcore (mostly Happy Hardcore) but is happy listening to anything, CD Price is 11.99 GBP from Virgin Online with Postage included although im sure you could probably get it cheaper somewhere else. Running Time is 151 minutes so you easily get your moneys worth, The label is Ministry of Sound which is an almost guarantee of good quality. This ...

Review of Very Best Euphoric Funky House Breakdown, The - Various Artists

My My My Van Helden!!!!!

Advantages: If you like his previous work, you'll love this!!
Disadvantages: Not enough tracks!

...humming! The title track Nympho features Van Helden himself under the strange psuedonym Virgin Killer - he has a tendency to scream alot on this track and the others that he is featured in. some of you might like this kind of thing, but i think it spoils the tracks ever so slightly and is a bit off putting when trying to listen to the beats and words! Come Play features a cover group called Creme Blush. This song i feel is slightly milder than ...
...mixed up style. Sugar features another artist called Jessy Moss, another I've never heard of before!The track is almost vampy, with a different beat and sound to the more garage and funky beats. Into Your eyes and When the Lights Go Down have the same funky, almost pop-like beat as My My My - the songs may be deemed repetive with a lack of other vocals but i think this works a treat, it keeps the tune in your head for ages (more out of tune humming ...
