Slightly disappointed

Advantages: 2 Discs
Disadvantages: Not so good tracks

Much to say, much to say. I admit that there are very few good tracks on this CD, look I am even using the word good, Ministry of Sound compilations are meant to be great! I found that too many of the tunes on this CD were rather old and already over played, for example MyMyMy by Armand van Helden. I do admit that there are some very good songs like Feel the Vibe by Axwell and A Studio- S.O.S. The rest I am largley disappointed especially disc two ...

Review of Funky House Sessions (A Glittering Mix Of Sexy House & Funky Disco) - Various Artists

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

The remedy to crappy music

Advantages: Original, intelligent, different to most other predictable, cheesy dance music thatis around at the moment.
Disadvantages: One track: Bingo Bango. Let's the side down a bit.

So. I'm white dot bloke am I? What kind of stupid system is this? I'm not impressed with Ciao at the moment, what with crappy pay systems, derogatory community ratings, etc. but I was bored, so I decided to put another opinion on the site. So I looked through my music collection. Because my music collection rules. Apart from my Limp Bizkit CD, but the less I say about that, the better. But sifting through my albums, some of which are scattered across ...
...And remembering how much I liked it last time I listened to it, I put it on. And somehow, after about a year of not listening to it, it sounds even better than it did before. Perhaps this is a result of the sad state the music industry is in today, which has forced me to lower my standards musically. But one thing that is for sure is that this album is a classic. Everyone should own this. And if you don't own it, why not? The Basement Jaxx boys, ...

Review of Remedy - Basement Jaxx

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

Jaxx And Their Great Hits

Advantages: Highly varied. Something for everyone
Disadvantages: A few tracks let it down

...is one of their biggest singles, and had to be re-released in order to squeeze all the quality out of it. You have them explore a Jazz side of their music as you get Lisa Kekaula sining in a skat style and doing so to a jazzy piece of Electronica production which varies greatly from one section to another as it balances these genre for tremenous results. **Five Stars** 13. "Jus 1 Kis" Album From: "Rooty" Year: 2001 This one gets them going inot ...
...don't like many House tracks, and so this acted a a barrier to myself in attempting to enjoy this tune. You have them using a hook of a repetitive hook, and it is utilised effectively in order to capture the listeners, although the House style of it prevented me to fully engage. **Two Stars** 14. "Fly Life" Album From: "EP 3" (feat. Slarta John) Year: 1997 This is a failry modest one form the group as it gets them bringing up the energy levels ...
